September 8th, 1990

After winning one late yesterday, we take not he Astros again.

They are pitching Rheal Cormier (11-7, 3.01).

The Giants have Roy Smith (7-5, 3.98).

I have gone 3 for 12 with a home run against Cormier.

I am hitting third.

In the 1st I started a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to get Terry Taylor and Glenn Davis.

I came up in the bottom of the 1st with one out and Dale Murphy on 1st.
I flew out to Jim Edmonds in centre.

Dale ended up scoring on a Tim Naehring single.

Giants lead 1-0

I came up in the 3rd, with Dale on 1st again, and lined out to Rusty Greer in left.

The Astros tied it up in the 5th when Edmonds scored on a Greer single.

Game tied 1-1

I came up with two out in the 5th and managed a walk.
Stolen base #121. I was left on.

We got the lead back in the 6th when first Tim scored on a Rob Deer sac fly and then Alan Cockrell scored on a pinch hit single by Harold Baines.

Giants lead 3-1

Mark Davis took the hill and Joel Chimelis replaced Robby Thompson at 2nd in a double switch.

I led off the bottom of the 7th, now facing Bob Knepper. I walked again.
With one out I tried to steal 2nd but was thrown out.

Glenn Davis led off the 8th with a home run.

Giants lead 3-2

In the bottom of the 8th both Rib Deer and Ruben Sierra hit two run homers!
I flew out.

Giants lead 7-2

Rod Nichols took the mound for us in the 9th.
I handled a grounder by pinch hitter John Olerud for the 2nd out.
We kept them from scoring and had the win.

I went 0 for 3 with two walks, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.

I need to get hitting.

But we have won four in a row. That's nice.
