August 13th, 1989

We have defeated the Dodgers two games in a row and are going for the sweep.

Today L.A. is pitching Matt Young (9-2, 2.21).

The Giants have our Ace, Frank Viola (17-4, 1.61).

I haven't seen much of Young, going 0 for 2.

I took care of a Tim Wallach grounder for the second out of the game.

I led thing off for our side by walking on four straight pitches.
Stolen base #92.
I was left at 2nd.

I came up next with one out in the 3rd. I grounded out to Steve Sax at 2nd.

I returned the favour, getting Sax for the 1st out in the 4th.

In the bottom fo the 4th, Ruben Sierra tripled and scored on a Robby Thompson sac fly.

Giants lead 1-0

In the 5th we turned a Thompson - Priske - Stanicek double play to get Benito Santiago and Gene Larkin to end the frame.

I came up with two out in the 5th and flew out to Chili Davis in left.

I took care of a Kent Hrbek grounder for the second out in the 7th.
But then both Davis and Santiago scored on a Larkin single, giving the Dodgers the lead.

Dodgers lead 2-1

I handled a Phil Plantier grounder for the first out in the 8th.

I led off in the 8th, now facing Tom Henke. I legged out an infield single.
Lonnie Smith then erased me with a fielder's choice.

Mark Davis came in to pitch the 9th for us.
We got a Priske - Thompson - Stanciek double play to get Davis and Hrbek for him.

In the bottom of the 9th, with the game on the line, Robby and Tim Naehring doubled to tie it up and send it to extras!

Jeff Robinson came in to pitch and Keith Hernandez replaces Steve Stanicek at 1st in a double switch.

I took care of a Larkin grounder for the 1st out behind Jeff.
I caught a Plantier pop for the 3rd.

I led off the bottom of the 10th, now facing Bryan Harvey.
I lined one into left on a full count for a single.
Lonnie hit into another fielder's choice to get me at 2nd.

Candy Maldonado homered to lead off the 11th.

Dodgers lead 3-2

We couldn't get it back and dropped the game.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, a walk, and a stolen base.

Tomorrow is a travel day as we head to Montreal.
