June 18th, 1990
The Padres are in town.
They are pitching Tim Belcher (7-7, 2.77).
The Giants have Frank Viola (5-5, 4.22).
I have done well against Blecher, going 7 for 23, or .304.
I led off the home side by striking out.
I took care of a Randy Ready grounder for the 1st out in the 3rd.
I came up in the bottom of the 3rd with Frank on 1st. I grounded into a fielder's choice.
Stolen base #59.
I was left there.
I handled an Ozzie Guillen grounder for the 1st out in the 5th.
I came up with two out in the 5th and Joel Chimelis on 2nd. I grounded out to Ready at 1st.
I led off the bottom of the 8th. I grounded out to Tom Quinlan at short.
I took care of an Armando Verdugo grounder for the 1st out in the 9th.
John Kruk got on base due to a Robby Thompson error and ended up scoring on a Charlie Hayes single.
With two out and two on, Jim went to Mark Williamson.
He got out of it. But...
Padres lead 1-0
And we were unable to score.
Frank pitched like the Frank of last year but we still go nothing to show for it.
I went o for 4 with a stolen base.
