June 2nd, 1991

That was enough of a rest. I am back starting today.

The Braves are pitching Ben McDonald (5-2, 4.96).

The Giants have John Burkett (4-5, 5.02).

I have gone only 4 for 21, or .190, against McDonald.

I am hitting fifth.

In the 2nd Andre Dawson and Spike Owen scored on a Chuck Lynn single.

Braves lead 2-0

I came up in the bottom of the 2nd with Alvin Davis on 1st. I reached on an infield single, moving Alvin to 2nd.

I was erased on a fielder's choice by Ryan Klesko.

We are unable to score.

In the 4th Joey Cora scored on a Jim Thome single.

Braves lead 3-0

I led off in the 5th and grounded out to Jeff Blauser at 3rd.

Heathcliff Slocumb took the ball for us in the 6th.

I came up in the 6th with two out, Ruben Sierra on 2nd, and Alvin on 1st. I flew out to Ken Griffey Jr. in centre.

I took care of a Ron Gant grounder for the 1st out in the 7th.

In the bottom of the 7th, Ryan Klesko scored on an Atlanta error.

Braves lead 3-1

Tom Kramer came in for us in the 8th.

I came up in the 8th with none out and Harold Baines and Alvin on the corners. I hit one to Jeff Bagwell at 1st and he threw out Harold trying to score.
Tim Criswell took over for Alvin on 2nd and then he moved to 3rd on a fly by Ryan.
Stolen base #28.
We were left on.

Joe Boever took the 9th for us.
He did his job but we couldn't get those runs back and lost this one.

I went 1 for 4 with a single and a stolen base.

We are back to .500

Tomorrow is a travel day as we head to Pittsburgh.
