Today the Phillies are pitching Mike Moore (5-2, 2.13).

The Giants are going with Rick Sutcliffe (1-3, 5.61).

Moore just came over from Seattle this year so Harold Baines is the only one of us who has faced him.

I led off the home side by popping out to Moore.

I came up next with two out in the 3rd and knuckled one into right for a single.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

I made my first play to get the third out in the 4th off a Garry Templeton grounder.

I came up with one out in the 6th and took a walk.
I went to 2nd on an infield hit by Harold.
Stolen base #36.
Ruben Sierra then hit a three-run homer.

Giants lead 3-0

I caught a foul pop by Jose Vizcaino for the 1st out in the 8th.

With one out and two on, despite throwing a shutout, Jim brought in Bobby Thigpen.
He got out of it.

I led off the bottom of the 8th, now facing Jeff Gray.
I flew out to Bo Jackson in left.

The Phillies broke up the shutout in the 9th when Templeton scored on a Tom Herr groundout.
That was all they could manage and we won, 3-1.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, a run scored, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.

Now we have an overnighter to St. Louis.
