May 15th, 1989

We are in Philadelphia and the Phillies are pitching Kevin Gross (5-1, 3.27).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (2-2, 2.95).

I have had trouble against Gross, going 7 for 44, or .159.

I led things off by knocking one into left for a single.
I was left there.

I got the 1st out on the other side, grabbing a Tom Herr liner.
Ricky Jordan scored on a two out single by Von Hayes.

Phillies lead 1-0

I took care of a fielder's choice ball by Scott Pose for the 1st out in the bottom of the 2nd.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to Jordan at 1st.

I next came up in the 5th with one our and Rick standing on 2nd. I flew out to Pose in centre.

In the bottom half, Jordan scored on a wild pitch by Rick.

Phillies lead 2-0

I got the last out in the 6th, off a grounder by Randy Romagna.

Things turned really bad in the 7th hen Bo Jackson smashed a three-run homer.
Jim went to John Burkett after that.
John gave up a homer to the first guy he faced - Hayes.

Phillies lead 6-0

I led off the 8th with a pop up to Herr at 2nd.

We were unable to break the goose egg and are back to .500

I went 1 for 4 with a single.
