May 17th, 1991

Trying to bounce back after yesterday's loss. I want a good showing for the family.

Today the Expos are pitching Scott Erickson (1-1, 3.81).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (0-4, 4.93).

I have gone 2 for 8 against Erickson.

I am hitting seventh.

Robby Thompson led off the home side with a first pitch home run, Also in the 1st, Bruce Bernadin scored on a. double play.

Giants lead 2-0

I handled a James Aylward grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

I then led off the bottom of the inning by taking a walk.
Stolen base #20.
I scored on a Timothy McKercher single.

Giants lead 3-0

In the 3rd Ruben Sierra scored on a Mark Lewis groundout.

Giants lead 4-0

I led off the bottom of the 4th by flying out to Milt Cuyler in centre.

The Expos got on the board int he 5th when Michael Urzendowski crossed on an Aylward triple.

Giants lead 4-1

I came up in the 6th with two out and Ryan Klesko on 1st.
WHile I was at the plate, Ryan was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

In the 7th with two out, Rick needed to leave the game with a blister on his finger. Sounds like he will be fine.
Matt brought in Scott Service.

After Ryan was thrown out in the 6th, I led off in the 7th. They brought in Tim Scott to face me. I grounded out to Alvaro Espinoza at short.

Jeff Mutis was next up, pitching the 8th.
I failed him. I made an error after a great catch, allowing Billy Hatch rot score on what would have been the third out.

Giants lead 4-2

Jeff ended up sticking around for the 9th, getting the save and giving Rick his first win.

I went 0 for 2 with a walk, a run scored, a stolen base, and an error.

Half way through the four game series and we are even.
