June 4th, 1990
The Reds have come to town.
They are pitching Dan Gakeler, making his Major League debut.
The Giants have Roy Smith (1-0, 4.35).
I led off for the home side by flying out to Mike Greenwell in right.
I took care of a Mike Mordecai grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd.
In the bottom frame, Ryan Klesko smashed a three-run homer.
Giants lead 3-0
I led off the bottom of the 3rd by legging out an infield single to the left side.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.
In the 5th I fielded a Greenwell grounder but then threw it away for an error.
Greenwell ended up scoring on a Mordecai sac fly, so that one is on me.
Giants lead 3-1
I came up with one out in the bottom of the 5th and drove one over the right field fence for my first home run of the year!
Giants lead 4-1
In the 6th Robby Thompson scored when Joel Chimelis walked with the bases loaded.
I came up with two out, Dale Murphy on 3rd, and Joel on 2nd. Greg Cadaret was pitching. I grounded out back to the pitcher.
Giants lead 5-1
In the 7th I started a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to get Kal Daniels and Greenwell.
Will Clark led off the 9th with a home run.
Roy ended up with a complete game, 5-2 win.
I went 2 for 4 with a home run, a single, a run scored, and RBI, and a caught stealing.
