June 26th, 1990
Robby Thompson has been having more troubles with his knee. He is still playing, though. Is I worth making it worse? I don't know.
The Reds are pitching Frank Castillo (3-5, 4.20).
The Giants have John Burkett (1-6, 4.86).
I have gone 4 for 19, or .211, against Castillo.
I was first up, as usual, and I sent a 1-2 curveball over the left field fence.
Really, Me.
Giants lead 1-0
I came up next with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to John Patterson at 2nd.
The Reds got on the board in the 3rd when Mike Mordecai scored on a Carlos Baerga single.
Game tied 1-1
I came up with two out in the 5th and hit one through the right side for a single.
Stolen base #64.
I was left at 2nd.
I took care of a Baerga grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom half.
I caught a foul ball by Kal Daniels for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 6th.
My next time up was with one out in the 8th. I grounded out to Patterson again.
Eric Davis homered in the bottom of the 8th, giving the Reds the lead.
With two out and one on, Jim went to Mark Williamson.
He got the 3rd out.
Reds lead 2-1
We couldn't score in the 9th and lost again.
I went 2 for 4 with a home run, a single, a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base.
