May 18th, 1990

The family is in town. It is great to see them, but I have to admit that I am not in the best mood.

We won the World Series and now we are playing at the bottom of the league.

Today the Expos are pitching Chuck Finley (3-3, 4.32).

The Giants have Frank Viola (2-5, 5.37).

I have gone only 4 for 25 against Finley.

I got in the action early, taking care of a Chris Sabo grounder for the 2nd out of the game.
I then caught a Pedro Guerrero pop for the 3rd.

I led off for our side and lined one into centre for a single.
With one out I grabbed stolen base #28 AND #29.
I scored on an Alvin Davis single.

Giants lead 1-0

I took care of a grounder by Jose Oquendo for the 2nd out in the 2nd.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and singled again, this time to right.
Stolen base #30 and an extra base when Mike Urzendowski threw it away.
I scored on a Ruben Sierra single.

Giants lead 2-0

I was having a pretty good game, but in the 4th I booted a Guerrero grounder.
It didn't cost us, thankfully.

I came up next with one out in the 5th. I grounded out to Oquendo at 2nd.

Sabo led off the 6th with a homer.
I took care of a Shane Mack grounder for the 1st out.

I handled an Oqunedo grounder for the 1st out in the 7th.

Mark Davis took over for us with two out and a man on on in the 8th.

He got the out and then I led off the bottom of the inning.
I grounded out to Oquendo again.

Bobby Thigpen took the mound for the 9th.
Three batters later, we had the win.

A nice outing for Frankie.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, two runs scored, three stolen bases, and an error.
