May 24th, 1992
Today the Mets are pitching Andy Benes (making his season debut)
The Giants have Scott Service (0-2, 3.27).
I am hitting seventh.
Bryce Bernadin homered in the bottom of the 1st.
Giants lead 1-0
I came up with two out in the 2nd and grounded out to Mike Gallego at short.
I took care of a Greg Vaughn grounder for the 1st out in the 4th.
Then we turned a Priske - Thompson - Klesko double play for the other two outs.
I came up next with two out in the bottom of the 5th and I took a walk.
I was left at 1st.
The Mets didn't get a hit until the 6th, but then they managed to load the bases with only one out and Matt turned to Ted Power.
Gallego scored on a Wally Joyner single, tying the game.
Then Chris Sabo was hit by a pitch, pushing Dave Clark across.
Lenny Dykstra walked, and Vaughn scored.
I caught a Joe Oliver pop (infield fly regardless), for the 2nd out.
Mets lead 3-1
Heathcliff Slocumb took the ball for us in the 8th.
Joyner scored on an Oliver single.
I caught a Bill Doran liner and doubled Oliver off at 1st with the bases loaded. Big play.
Mets lead 4-1
I came up in the bottom of the 8th with Craig Grebeck on 1st. I struck out.
Bryan Hickerson got the nod for us in the 9th.
Kevin Maas scored on a Joyner single.
Pinch hitter Gary Redus crossed on a Sabo single.
Matt then brought in Pat Combs with two on and two out. He got the 3rd out.
Mets lead 6-1
In the bottom of the 9th Ruben Sierra scored on a Jerry Browne single and then Bryce scored on a double play by Craig.
I then grounded out.
We lost, 6-3.
I went 0 for 3 with a walk. Some good defensive plays, but...
Now we head to Chicago.
