September 9th, 1990

We are finishing the Astro series and Matt is giving me the day off to recharge. I am a little tired. It could help.

I pinch hit for Tim Naehring in the 5th with us down 4-2 and two guys on. It worked... to a point. I singled but Alvin Davis was thrown out trying to score.

I stayed in to play 3rd. Sure I was a little tired, but we also didn't want to blow our winning streak. Rick Sutcliffe was pitching okay. We just needed to score a bit more.

I got the 3rd out in the 6th off a Felix Jose grounder.

Matt brought in Willie Fraser for the 7th.

I got the 1st out for him off a Clay Bellinger grounder.
I then dealt with one by pitcher Manny Hernandez for the 2nd out.

I came up in the 8th with one out and Lee Guetterman now pitching, I lined out to Bellinger at short.

We couldn't make up those two runs and lost the game.

I went 1 for 2 with a single.

Tomorrow we get the Braves in town.
