May 4th, 1990

We are in Montreal and trying to turn our fortunes around. That is the story of this season.

The Expos are pitching John Denny (0-1, 5.09).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (4-1, 5.70).

I have hit 3 for 21, or only .143, against Denny.

I led off the game by grounding out to Alvaro Espinoza at short.

In the bottom half Thomas Howard scored on a Chris Sabo groundout.
I handled a Pedro Guerrero grounder for the 3rd out.

Expos lead 1-0

Alvin Davis homered in the top of the 2nd to get that run back for us.

Game tied 1-1

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Alan Cockrell on 1st. I flew out to Howard in centre.

In the bottom half, Howard scored on a Sabo double.

Expos lead 2-1

I took care of an Espinoza grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th.

I led off the 6th by dropping one into left for a single.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

I took care of another Espinoza grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 7th.

I came up in the 8th with one out, pinch-runner Joel Chimelis on 3rd (he came in for Tim Naehring), and Alan on 1st. They brought Kenny Rogers in to face me.
What is the worst thing I could do?
I hit into a double play.

Joel stayed in to play short.
Mark Williamson took over on the mound.

We couldn't make up that run and lost.

That is on me. I should have been able to cash in Joel, somehow.

I went 1 for 4 with a single and a caught stealing.
