July 5th, 1989

Another day in Pittsburgh.

The Pirates are pitching Jose DeLeon (4-7, 2.14).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (9-5, 2.52).

I have done okay against DeLeon, hitting 8 for 30, or .267.

I opened the game by grounding out to Charlie Montoyo at 3rd.

Ken Phelps led off the bottom of the 2nd with a home run.
I got the last out of the inning off a DeLeon grounder.

Pirates lead 1-0

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

In the 4th Lee Stevens hit a two run homer.

Pirates lead 3-0

We got on the board in the 5th when Ryan Klesko scored on a Tim Naehring double.

Pirates lead 3-1

I came up with one out in the 6th and dropped one into left for a single.
I was left there.

In the 7th Montoyo scored on an Ozzie Smith double.

Pirates lead 4-1

I led off the 9th, now facing Aaron Carlie. I struck out.
Before the inning was up, both Keith Hernandez and Robby Thompson scored on an error, but we still lost, 4-3.

I went 1 for 4 with a single.
