September 6th, 1990

It is the last day for the Reds in town.

They are pitching John Farrell (6-9, 4.23).

The Giants have Frank Viola (13-8, 3.12).

I have only gone 2 for 11 against Farrell.

I am hitting 6th.

The Reds struck early as John Patterson tripled and scored on a Will Clark groundout in the 1st.

Reds lead 1-0

We did a little better in the bottom half as Harold Baines blasted a three-run homer.
I came up after him and flew out to end the inning.

Giants lead 3-1

I took care of a Beau Allred bunt for the 1st out in the 2nd.

In the 3rd Shawon Dunston scored on a Patterson sac fly (following two errors that got him to 3rd).

Giants lead 3-2

In the bottom of the 3rd, Ruben Sierra belted a solo shot!

I came up with two out and popped out to Dunston at short.

Giants lead 4-2

Two more errors int he 4th, which nearly gave the Reds another run, but Harold gunned down Mike Greenwell at the plate.

In the 5th, Alvin Davis homered!

Giants lead 5-2

I caught an Eric Davis pop for the 1st out in the 6th.
I then dealt with a Carlos Baerga grounder for the 3rd out.

I came up in the bottom of the 6th with one out and Scott Kemieniecki pitching. I walked.
Stolen base #120.
With two out, Greg Myers was walked.
We were both left on.

In the 7th, Robby Thompson scored on a Rob Deer sac fly. (Rob came in as a defensive sub for Harold.)
I grounded out with two men in scoring position to end the inning.

Giants lead 6-2

Joel Chimelis subbed in for Alvin.

Mark Williamson came in to pitch the 9th.
Greg Litton took over at 1st after hitting for Frank.
Joel shifted to 2nd for Robby.

Frank should be kind of pissed. He led us to a good win, but he had to overcome our FIVE errors.

None by me but I went 0 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base.

Next the Astros are coming to town.
