May 1st, 1989

Back home to face the Cubs, who are pitching Jeff Robinson (2-2, 2.65).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (2-1, 1.95).

I have done nothing against Robinson, going 0 for 6.

I got in on the action right away, dealing with a Dave Martinez grounder for the first out.

I let off the home half by getting my first hit off Robinson - a double into the right field corner.
Stolen base #20.
I scored in an infield single by Ruben Sierra with one out.

Giants lead 1-0

I took care of a Tom Foley grounder for the first out in the 2nd.
I did the same to Dave Valle for the 2nd out.

I led off in the 3rd and flew out to Martinez in centre.

The Cubs got on the board in the 4th when Paul O'Neill scored on a Foley single.

Game tied 1-1

We got the lead back in the bottom half when Jim Presley scored on a Luis Medina single and then Alan Cockrell hit a two run homer.
I came up with two out and flew out to left.

Giants lead 4-1

We scored again in the 5th when Robby Thompson crossed on a Keith Hernandez single.

Giants lead 5-1

Willie Fraser took over for us in the 7th.

We made a Priske - Thompson - Hernandez double play behind him to get O'Neill and Chris Hoiles.

I led off in the 7th, now facing Bill Long. I dropped one into left for a single.
Stolen base #21.
Robby bunted me over to 3rd.
I scored on a groundout by Ruben.

Giants lead 6-1

I made a great play on what should have been a pinch hit by Marvell Wynne for the 1st out in the 9th.
After Willie walked Martinez, Jim brought in John Burkett.
Two batters later, the game was over.

I went 2 for 4 with a single, a double, two runs scored, and two stolen bases.

A good day.
