We are at Wrigley Field to face the Cubs.

Chicago is pitching Dan Freed (1-4, 4.26).

The Giants have Frank Viola (3-2, 2.29).

I have gone 0 for 2 against Freed, thus far.

I opened the game by making that 1 for 3 with a single through the left side.
Stolen base #25. I went to 3rd on a single by Robby Thompson. I scored and Robby went to 3rd on a single by Ruben Sierra.

Giants lead 1-0

I got the 2nd out in the bottom of the 2nd off a Billy Hatcher grounder.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to Mike Brumley at short.
Robby followed me with a home run.

Giants lead 2-0

The Cubs got on the board in the 3rd when Brumley scored on a Dave Martinez groundout.

Giants lead 2-1

I got the 1st and 3rd outs in the bottom of the 4th, taking care of grounders by Paul O'Neill and Hatcher.

I came up in the 5th with two out and Luis Medina on 2nd. I grounded out to Chris Hoiles at 1st.

In the 6th Robby scored on a single by Keith Hernandez.

Giants lead 3-1

I took care of a Dave Martinez grounder for the 1st out in the bottom half.

I led off the 8th with a single to centre. Robby bunted me over the 2nd. I was then thrown out trying to steal 3rd.

Mark Davis came in to close things out in the 9th. Bob Brenly also took over behind the plate. Mark gave up a two out single but then I handled a Hatcher grounder to end the game.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, a run scored, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.
