August 21st, 1990

The first game against the Expos did not go well.

I want a good game for the family.

Montreal is pitching Steve Avery (7-7, 4.17).

The Giants have Bob Walk (6-9, 4.29).

I have done well against Avery, going 5 for 16, or .312.

I am hitting 3rd today.

I came up with two out in the 1st and grounded ou two Chris Donnels at 3rd.

We jumped out to the lead in the 2nd when Alan Cockrell potted a two-run blast!

Giants lead 2-0

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Dale Murphy on 1st. I struck out.

In the 4th it was Rob Deer's turn to blast a two-run dinger!

Giants lead 4-0

In the 5th I made a great play on an Avery bunt, nailing Michael Urzendowski at 2nd!
That inning the Expos scored when Thomas Howard crossed on a Chris Sabo double.
Then Avery and Sabo scored on a Steve Carter double.

Giants lead 4-3

I came up in the 5th with Dale on 1st. I replaced him when I hit a fielder's choice to Alvaro Espinoza at 2nd.
With two out I nabbed stolen base #110.
I was left at 2nd.

Gene Nelson took the mound for us in the 7th, with Joel Chimelis replacing Alvin Davis at 1st in a double switch.

I came up in the 7th with one out, Joel on 2nd, and Dale on 1st. Chris Byrnes was pitching. While I was at the plate, both guy moved up on a wild pitch. I struck out.

In the 8th Mark Williamson came in for us, with Ruben Sierra also subbing in for Dale in another double switch.

With one out in the 9th, Matt brought in Bobby Thigpen. Deron McCue replaced Rob in the third double switch of the game.

Bobby shut the door to give us the tight win.

I went 0 for 4 with a stolen base.

After the game, Deron was sent to Phoenix and Greg Myers was recalled.
