May 13th, 1990
It is the last day of the road trip, and it has been a long one.
The Phillies are pitching Dave Stewart (4-1, 2.98).
The Giants have Scott Garrelts (4-2, 4.98).
Stewart just came over from the AL this year and I haven't faced him yet.
I started things by lining out to Garry Templeton at short.
The Phillies struck first when Von Hayes scored on the 1st off a Darrin Fletcher double.
Phillies lead 1-0
Harold Baines tied it up in the 2nd with a solo homer.
Game tied 1-1
They got it right back in the bottom half when Jose Vizcaino scored on a Hayes single.
Randy Milligan followed with a three-run blast.
Bo Jackson made it back-to-back.
With a man on and two out, Jim brought in Rod Nichols.
Phillies lead 6-1
I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to Finken at 3rd.
In the 4th, Jackson homered again - a two-run shot this time.
Phillies lead 8-1
I came up in the 5th with Rod on 1st. I walked.
We never got anything out of it.
I came up in the 7th with two out and Alan Cockrell on 2nd. I flew out to Scott Pose in centre.
With two men on and one out in the 7th, Jim went to Mark Ross.
Both runners scored on a Templeton double.
Phillies lead 10-1
It never got better than that.
This season has been painful.
I went 0 for 3 with a walk.
Time to head home... to face the Mets.
