May 13th, 1992

We are wrapping up in Philadelphia, trying to avoid our second straight sweep and seventh straight loss.

The Phillies are pitching Juan Guzman (3-1, 3.21).

The Giants have Scott Service (0-1, 3.94).

I am hitting fifth again.

I came up with one out in the 2nd and grounded out to John Finn at short.

I caught a Mike Greenwell liner for the 1st out in the bottom of the 2nd.

I came up in the 4th with two out and Bryce Bernadin on 2nd. During my plate appearance, Bryce moved to 3rd on a wild pitch. But then I was thrown out by the catcher, Darrin Fletcher, on a number in front of the plate.

Tino Martinez led off the bottom of the 5th with a homer.
I took care of a Dave Hollins grounder for the 3rd out.

Phillies lead 1-0

I came up in the 6th with two out and Bryce on 2nd again. I grounded out to Ryne Sandberg at 2nd.

I returned the favour by handling a Sandberg grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 6th.

Bryan Hickerson took the ball for us in the 7th.

We turned a Thompson - Priske - Klesko double play behind him.

With one out and one on in the 8th, Matt brought in Mark Ross.
A Klesko - Priske - Klesko double play took care of that for him.

I led off the 9th against Alejandro Pena. I struck out.

We ended up shut out, 1-0.

Brutal.

I went 0 for 4. Again.

Travel day tomorrow as we head for Chicago.
