August 26th, 1991

We are in St. Louis and the Cardinals are pitching Pedro Martinez (11-9, 3.64).

The Giants have Frank Viola (11-7, 3.53).

I have gone 2 for 8 against Pedro, including a home run.

But I am back to hitting sixth for some reason.

I led off the 2nd by flying out to Vince Coleman in left.

I got the 1st out in the bottom half, off a Dave Anderson fielder's choice ball.

We scored a bunch in the 3rd.
First Harold Baines crossed on a balk by Pedro.
Then Ruben Sierra scored on a single by Rick Cerone.

I came up with Alvin Davis on 3rd, Nic on 1st, and one out, and I pooped out to Terry Pendelton at 3rd.

Ryan Klesko followed me with a three-run homer.

Giants lead 5-0

I came up in the 5th with two out and Ruben on 2nd. I lined out to Derek Henderson at short.

I took care of a Henderson grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 6th.
I then caught a pop by pinch hitter Luis Gonzalez for out #2.

I came up in the 7th with two out, Alvin on 1st, and Steve Dreyer pitching. I grounded out to Henderson.

I handled a Dave Anderson grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 8th.

In the bottom of the 9th, pinch hitter Ruben Amaro scored on a Coleman groundout.
Then pinch hitter Lance Johnson scored on a Bernie Williams single.

But Sweet Music shut the door after that and we had the 5-2 win.

I went 0 for 4.
