April 10th, 1991

We are on pace for an 162-0 season. Let's keep it going.

Today the Padres are pitching Kevin Gross. The Giants have Bruce Ruffin.

I have gone 12 for 59, or .203, against Gross. I am hitting 7th.

We struck early when Robby Thompson scored on the 1st off a Mark Lewis single.

I struck out to end the inning.

Giants lead 1-0

They got it right back in the bottom of the 1st when Ozzie Guillen crossed on a Tony Gwynn single.
We turned a Thompson - Priske - Davis double play to get Gwynn and Darren Daulton to end the inning.

Game tied 1-1

We got the lead back in the 2nd when Alan Cockrell tripled and scored on a. double play.

Giants lead 2-1

I caught an Eric Young pop for the first out in the bottom of the 2nd.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and Ryan Klesko on 1st. I grounded out to Young at 2nd.

The Pads tied it back up in the 4th when Junior Felix scored on a single by Young.

Game tied 2-2

I took care of a Guillen grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 5th.

I came up with one out in the 6th and took a walk.
Alan whiffed on a hit & run and I was thrown out in a collision at 2nd. I banged up my knee pretty hard and was forced to leave the game.

We ended up losing 7-3.

It turns out that I hyperextended my knee. The doc says I should be fine in about a week.

This has been an awful start for me. I am still hitless and now I am hurt.

I am going to keep playing, though. I have to fight through it.
