April 23rd, 1991

We beat the Padres yesterday and hope to continue that today.

I am still worried about my running, though.

San Diego is pitching Bryn Smith (0-2, 6.38).

The Giants are going with Tom Kramer (0-0, 4.76).

I have gone only 9 for 53, or .170, against Smith.

I am hitting 5th.

I grabbed an Ozzie Guillen liner to kick off the game. My defence is still top-notch.

We did pretty well in our half of the 1st.

Robby Thompson flew out.
Ruben Sierra reached on an error.
Ruben scored on a Harold Baines single.
Alvin Davis hit a two run homer.
I grounded out.
Luis Medina tripled.
Luis scored on a Tim Naehring single.

Giants lead 4-0

I pulled down a Darren Daulton liner for the 1st out in the 2nd.

I came up with two out in the 3rd and grounded out to Ramon Carabello at 2nd.

I took care of a Guillen grounder for the 1st out in the 6th.
George Brett followed with a home run.

Giants lead 4-1

I came up with one out in the bottom of the 6th. They brought in Dan Quisenberry to face me. I lined one to right for a single.

With two out I tried to steal... and was thrown out. Again.

I caught a Caraballo pop for the 3rd out in the 7th.

With one out and a man on in the 8th, Matt brought in Jeff Mutis.
He got out of it.

He also got all three men in the 9th for the save.

We are out of the basement, a half game ahead of the Padres.

I went 1 for 3 with a single and yet another caught stealing.

I don't know what is wrong.
