June 3rd, 1990

We finish with the Astros today.

They are pitching Pat Combs, making his first start of the season.

The Giants have Scott Garrelts (7-3, 4.36).

None of us have faced Combs before.

I led off for the home side by striking out.

I took care of a Johnny Paredes grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Joel Camels on 2nd. I hit what looked like a single by Clay Bellinger managed to snag it at short.
Harold Baines singled Joel home.

Giants lead 1-0

I handled a Rusty Greer grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.
Glenn Davis scored on a Craig Biggio single.

Game tied 1-1

In the 5th, Felix Jose hit a two run homer.
Craig Worthington scored on a Greer triple.

Astros lead 4-1

I came up in the 5th with one out and Joel on 2nd again. Once again Bellinger robbed me of a hit, but this time he threw it away and I took 2nd on his error. Joel scored on the play.
I one to 3rd on a fly out by Harold.
I scored on a wild pitch.

Astros lead 4-3

I started a Priske - Myers - Davis double play to get Biggio at home and Combs at 1st to end the top of the 6th.

Tim Naehring led off the bottom of the inning with a home run.

Game tied 4-4

I led off the bottom of the 7th. They brought in David Wilhelmi to face me.
I walked.
Stolen base #45.
I scored on a two out single by Ruben Sierra.

Giants lead 5-4

I came up in the 8th with two out, Greg Myers on 2nd, and pinch hitter Robby Thompson on 1st. I was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Harold struck out.

Bobby Thigpen came in for the 9th.
Three batters later we had the game.

I went 0 for 3 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, two runs scored, and a stolen base.

After the game we got the All-Star Voting Update.

I am leading at 3B. I am the only one on the team likely to get voted on, but Alvin Davis, Frank Viola, and Mark Davis are also getting decent votes.

I hate to say it, but Frank getting that many votes considering the year he is having shows how much of a popularity contest it is.
