June 23rd, 1990

After that deflating loss yesterday we are back at it in the Astrodome.

The Astros are pitching my countryman, Rheal Cormier (4-3, 3.94).

The Giants are going with Frank Viola (5-6, 3.88).

I have a bit of experience with Cormier, going 2 for 6 including a home run.

I answered the call by taking a four pitch walk.
Stolen base #61 and an extra base when Craig Biggio threw it away.
Alvin Davis walked. Cormier has yet to throw a strike.
Our first swing of the game was an RBI double by Ruben Sierra.
Alvin then scored on a Harold Baines groundout.

Giants lead 2-0

I came up with one out in the 2nd and flew out to Felix Jose in right.

I took care of a Glenn Davis grounder for the 1st out int he bottom of the 4th.
I then did the same to Spike Owen for the 3rd out.

I led off the 5th by grounding out to Davis at 1st.
Alvin followed me with a home run.

Giants lead 3-0

The Astros got on the board in the 6th when Jose scored on a Rusty Greer single.
Then Craig Worthington scored on a Biggio sac fly after a collision at home.

Giants lead 3-2

I came up with one out in the 7th and walked for the second time.
I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

I came up in the 9th with one out and Tim Naehring on 1st. They brought in Pat Combs to face me. He struck me out.

Mark Williamson came in to pitch the 9th for us.
He gave up a leadoff single but the next three to grab the save.

I went 0 for 3 with two walks, a run scored, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.
