We wrap up in Montreal today and the Expos are pitching Wally WHitehurst (3-1, 2.61).

The Giants have Frank Viola (4-2, 2.14).

I have done well against Whitehurst, going 7 for 17.

I led things off by lining out to Doug Snyder in right.

In the 2nd, Luis Medina launched a big two run homer.
I came up with two out and hit now into left for a single.
Stolen base #26, but got no further.

Giants lead 2-0

In the bottom half I took care of a Gery Redus grounder for the 2nd out.

In the 3rd we got a big three run dinger from Alan Cockrell!

Giants lead 5-0

The Expos got on the board the tinning when Jose Offerman crossed on a Dave Parker single.

Giants lead 5-1

I came up with one out in the 4th and grounded out to Pedro Guerrero at 1st.

Offerman scored again in the 4th, this time off a Patrick Abbatiello double.

Giants lead 5-2

I made the last out int he 6th, off an easy grounder by pitcher, Mark Tindall.

I led off the 7th against Tindall by popping out to Offerman at short.

With one out and one on in the 7th, Jim went to Jeff Robinson.

I came up in the 9th with two out and Tim Naehring on 1st. My old teammate, Atlee Hammaker, was brought in to face me. He got me to ground out to Guerrero again.

Mark Davis took over for us in the 9th. The Expos ended up with two men in scoring position but Mark maintained his perfect ERA and Save record as we got the win.

I went 1 for 5 with a single and a stolen base. My batting average is down to .266

We are now off to Philadelphia.
