We are finishing up a quick two game series in St. Louis.

The Cardinals are pitching Terry Clark (2-7, 5.49).

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (5-3, 5.30).

I have done well against Clark, going 4 for 13, or .308.

I led off the game by lining out to Terry Shumpert at 2nd.

The 2nd went... very well.

Robby Thompson - double
Alan Cockrell - walk
Wild pitch
Dale Murphy - strikeout
Rob Deer - RBI single
Tim Naehring - reached on error. Alan scored.
Scott - sac bunt
Me - two run single!
Stolen base
Harold Baines - walk
Alvin Davis - walk
Robby - two run single
Alan - strikeout.

Giants lead 6-0

Mike Sarbaugh hit a lead off homer in the bottom of the 3rd.

Giants lead 6-1

I led off the 4th, now facing Manuel Molina. I grounded out to Shumpert.

I got Sarbaugh for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 5th off a Molina fielder's choice.

I came up in the 6th with one out and Tim on 2nd. I lined out to Andy Van Slyke at 1st.

It started to rain in the 7th.
We ended up with a 51 minute rain delay.

When we came back, Jim went to Rod Nichols to pitch, with one out and a man on 1st.

Rob led off the 8th with a home run!
I came up with two out, facing Bruce Luttrell. I walked on four pitches.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

Giants lead 7-1

Willie Fraser took over for us in the 8th.
He gave up a run when Jeromy Burnitz scored on a Bernie Williams double.
I caught a Shumpert fly for the 3rd out.

Giants lead 7-2

The Cards loaded them up in the 9th our Willie got out of it and we hd the win.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a walk, a run scored, two RBI, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.

After the game Willie was sent down to Phoenix and Scott Service was placed on waivers in order for the team to call up Roy Smith.
Smith pitched for six years in Cleveland before the Giants signed him to a minor league deal.

We are heading to Pittsburgh, where Smith is getting the start.
Rick Sutcliffe is being pushed to the bullpen.
