April 30th, 1991

We are in Philadelphia. We have been playing better lately. We need to keep that going.

The Phillies are pitching Juan Guzman (0-2, 3.67).

The Giants have Frank Viola (2-2, 4.44).

I have never faced the rookie, Guzman. I am hitting 7th.

I led off the 3rd by flying out to Juan Gonzalez in centre.

We opened the scoring when Alan Cockrell crossed on a Robby Thompson single.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off again in the 5th. This time I took a walk.
Stolen base #6.
I went to 3rd on a groundout by Alan.
Then the squeeze play was on but Frank missed! But I was safe! I stole home!

Giants lead 2-0

We got another in the 6th when Ruben Sierra scored on an Alvin Davis sac fly.

Giants lead 3-0

I made my first defensive play in the 6th, taking care of an Ozzie Smith grounder for the 2nd out.
I then made a good play on a Gonzalez grounder for the 3rd out,

I came up with one out in the 7th, now facing Mike Moore. I hit one through the right side for a single.
Alan hit into a fielder's choice and I broke up the possible double play but it cost my a banged up knee. Not as bad as before. I walked it off.

We notched another run in the 8th when Harold Baines scored on a Luis Medina double.

Giants lead 4-0

The Phillies finally got on the board in the bottom of the 8th with a solo homer by Steven Finken.
I followed it with a nice play on a Steve Bieser grounder for the 2nd out.

Giants lead 4-1

I came up with one out in the 9th, now facing Xavier Hernandez. I flew out to Gonzalez again.

Joe Boever took over for us in the 9th.
With one out, Bo Jackson walloped a home run.
We turned a Boever - Priske - Klesko double play to end the game with a win.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, a run scored, and two stolen bases (including home!).

After the game, Jeff Mutis was sent to Phoenix and Bret Lachemann was called up.
