Back in Canada to face the Expos.

It is always nice to be in my home country, but more that that, we need to start picking up some more wins.

The Expos are pitching Chuck Finley (4-2, 2.55).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (4-1, 2.23).

I have not done well against Finley. 1 for 10.

I led off the game by striking out.

I came up next in the 3rd with two out and Luis Medina on 1st. I grounded out to Patrick Abbatiello at 2nd.

I made my first defensive play in the 3rd, dealing with a Pedro Guerrero grounder for the 2nd out.

In the 4th we got a Thompson - Priske - Hernandez double play to get Chris Sabo and Gery Redus. I then took care of a Shane Mack grounder for the 3rd out.

I came up with one out in the 6th and grounded out to Guerrero at 1st.

I returned the favour for the 1st out in the bottom half. With a couple of baserunners, I caught a Redus pop for out #2.
After an error by Keith Hernandez loaded the bases, Mack singled home Dave Parker and Sabo.

Expos lead 2-0

With one out and one on in the 7th, Jim brought in Willie Fraser. Scott didn't give up any earned runs, but he walked five.
Guerrero doubled home Jose Offerman (who reached on another error by Keith.)

Expos lead 3-0

I came up in the 8th with pinch hitter Steve Stanick on 1st. I hit it back to Finley to replace Steve on a fielder's choice.
I was left there.

John Burkett took over on the mound for us in the 8th.

We never could score. A shut out loss and we are back under .500

I went 0 for 4.
