May 31st, 1990

We finish up against the Mets today.

New York is pitching Ron Darling (4-4, 2.49).

The Giants have Scott Sanderson (3-3, 3.20).

I have gone 7 for 40, or .175, against Darling.

New York's rotation just rough to face.

I caught a Wally Joyner pop for the 2nd out of the game.

I led off for our side and flew out to Gerald Young in left.
Keith Hernandez followed me with a home run.

Giants lead 1-0

I got the 2nd out in the 3rd off a fielder's choice ball by Lenny Dykstra.
Joyner followed with a big, three-run homer.

Mets lead 3-1

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by striking out.

We ended the top of the 4th with a Priske - Giles - Hernandez double play to get Johnny Ray and Mike Fitzgerald.

I came up in the 5th with one out and Bob Brenly on 2nd. I hit one into short right for an RBI single!
Stolen base #34.
I scored to tie the game on a single by Keith.
Keith and Ryan Klesko ended up scoring on a Ruben Sierra single.

Giants lead 5-3

The lead was host lived as Darryl Strawberry hit a three run homer in the 6th.
That was it for Scott - as well as Luis Medina - as Jeff Robinson and Miek Aldrete came it with a double switch.
Jeff got the last two outs of the inning.

Mets lead 6-5

I came up in the 6th with two out and Brian Giles on 3rd. Kevin Appier was pitching. I grounded out to Ross Jones at short.

And was booed.

In the 8th Dykstra scored on a sac fly by Kevin Mitchell.

Mets lead 7-5

We got in back in our half when Tim Naehring scored on a double by Bob.

Mets lead 7-6

In the 9th we had Rob Deer taking over for Mike in left, after pinch hitting for him, and Bobby Thigpen taking the mound.
I too care of a Gerald Young grounder for the 3rd out.

I led off the bottom of the 9th against Randy Myers. I struck out.
We were unable to score and lost.

I went 1 for 5 with a single, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.

Tomorrow is a travel day as we head to Atlanta.

I hate playing in Atlanta.
