August 11th, 1991
We are looking to bounce back from that brutal loss.
Today the Dodgers are pitching Bob Tewksbury (6-5, 5.36).
The Giants have Frank Viola (10-7, 3.66).
Tewksbury came over from the AL this year so I have never faced him.
I am hitting sixth.
I led off the bottom of the 2nd by grounding out back to Tewksbury.
We opened the scoring in the 3rd when Frank crossed on a Ruben Sierra sac fly.
Giants lead 1-0
I got the 2nd out in the 4th off a Chili Davis grounder.
I came up next with one out in the 4th. I flew out to Phil Plantier in centre.
I took care of a Bill Spiers grounder for the 1st out in the 5th.
I handled another Chili grounder for the 3rd out in the 6th.
I came up in the 6th with Rick Cerone on 1st. I walked.
Ryan Klesko singled to load the bases.
Rick scored on a Tim Naehring single but I was thrown out trying to score from 2nd.
Two batters later, Robby Thompson hit a three-run homer.
Giants lead 5-0
I took care of a Benito Santiago grounder for the 2nd out in the 7th.
I led off the bottom of the 8th, now facing Jeff Parrett. I hit one into left for a single.
Stolen base #57.
I was left at 2nd.
I handled another Santiago grounder for the 2nd out in the 9th.
Frankie got a shutout.
I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, and a stolen base.
Next the Braves come to town.
