August 20th, 1990

We are on the three game roll and ready for Montreal!

As usual, when the Expos come to town the extended Priske - Banner clan come down to take in the series.

They will get to see Chuck Finley (13-11, 3.47) of the Expos take on Scott Garrelts (13-5, 4.32) of the Giants.

I have gone 6 for 29, or .207, against Finley... but I am hitting clean-up!

I came up in the 1st with two out and Robby Thompson on 3rd. I walked on four straight.
We were left.

Ryan Klesko opened the scoring int he 2nd with a solo shot.

Giants lead 1-0

In the 4th I did the unthinkable - I airmailed the throw on an easy groundball, giving Steve Carter 2nd on my error.
He then scored on a Shane Mack single.
I handled an Alvaro Espinoza bunt for the 1st out.
Mack scored on a Jose Oquendo sac fly.
Billy Hatcher scored on a Finley single.
Michael Urzendowski and Finley crossed on a Chris Sabo double.
I took care of a Carter grounder to end the inning, but... five unearned runs due to MY error.

Expos lead 5-1

I led off the bottom of the 4th by grounding out to Espinoza at short.

With a man on and none out in the 5th, Matt brought in John Burkett.

I came up in the 6th with one out and Ruben Sierra on 1st. I walked.
With two out, Alan Cockrell also walked.
Rob Deer struck out, leaving us loaded.

In the 7th, Mack scored on an Espinoza single.
Hatcher scored on an Oquendo double.
Espinoza scored on an error by Tim Naehring.
No stones thrown here.

With two out and the bases loaded, Matt brought in Mark Davis to stop the bleeding. He struck out Chris Donnels to do just that.

Expos lead 8-1

I came up in the 8th with one out and Dale Murphy on 1st. They brought in Mark Tindall to face me. I flew out to Mack in right.

I took care of an Urzendowski grounder for the 2nd out in the 9th.

We never got back into this game after my error.

I went 0 for 2 with a pair of walks and that error.
