July 2nd, 1990

The Cardinals are in town and we are starting a new series with our new Manager.

Let's see how different things are under Matt.

The Cards are pitching Scott Lawrence (6-6, 3.47)

The Giants have Roy Smith (2-1, 3.80).

Lawrence is pretty new and other than Alan Cockrell, none of us have faced him before.

Roy pitched a clean 1st inning and then I led off for our side. I lined out to Jeff Branson at 2nd.

Ryan Klesko followed me with a home run.

Giants lead 1-0

I handled a Mike Brown grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and reached 2nd on an error by Jose Uribe.
Stolen base #70.
I scored on a single by Ryan.
Ryan ended up scoring on a Harold Baines single.

Giants lead 3-0

The Cardinals struck in the 4th after a couple of errors. Oddibe McDowell and Bernie Williams scored on a Terry Pendleton double.
Andy Van Slyke scored on another error - this one by Alvin Davis.
Pendelton scored on a Branson sac fly.
I took care of a Lawrence grounder for the 3rd out.

They scored four times and only one of them was earned.

Cardinals lead 4-3

In the bottom half, we tied it up when Alvin scored on a groundout by pinch hitter, Rob Deer.
I came up with two out and Alan on 2nd. I grounded out to Branson

Game tied 4-4

Rod Nichols took over for us in the 5th.
He pitched two perfect frames before Rick Sutcliffe took over in the 7th.

I led off the bottom of the 7th by reaching on an infield hit down the 3B line.
Stolen base #71.
I went to 3rd on a Ruben Sierra groundout and scored on a single by Harold.

Giants lead 5-4

Rick walked the first batter in the 8th and Matt went to Mark Williamson.
Things didn't go better for Mark and Lance Johnson and McDowell scored on a Pendleton single.

Cardinals lead 6-5

I came up in the 8th with two out, pinch hitter Dale Murphy on 1st, and Greg Harris pitching. I flew out to McDowell in left.

Bobby Thigpen took the mound for us in the 9th.

We weren't able to get the run back and Matt's first game as skipper was a loss.

I went 1 for 5 with a single, a reached-on-error, two runs scored, and two stolen bases.
