June 2nd, 1992

Today is the second of two in New York and we are trying to build on a five game winning streak.

Today the Mets are pitching Andy Benes (1-0, 1.12).

The Giants have Rod Nichols (0-5, 5.11).

I am hitting seventh.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Craig Grebeck on 3rd. I got Craig across with a sac fly.

Giants lead 1-0

I got the 2nd out in the bottom of the 3rd off a Greg Vaughn fielder's choice.

In the 4th Craig hit a two run homer with one out!
I came up next and flew out to Lenny Dykstra in centre.

Giants lead 3-0

I handled an Armando Zambrano grounder for the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th.

With two out in the bottom of the 5th, Vaughn reached 2nd after I threw a ball away. That is my 4th error of the season.

Thankfully he didn't score.

Craig singled in the 6th. He is a double shy of the cycle after three at bats.

I came up with two out, Craig on 2nd, and Jerry Browne on 3rd. I reached on an infield hit, scoring Jerry and sending Craig to 3rd.
Craig and I were left on.

Giants lead 4-0

In the 7th Ruben Sierra hit a two run homer!

Giants lead 6-0

In the bottom of the inning, the Mets got on the board with a pinch hit, two run homer by Gary Reds.

Giants lead 6-2

Craig came up in the 8th and... singled, going to 2nd on an error by Zambrano. Tough scorekeeper call there.
I then came up with one out and Craig on 2nd. Roger McDowell was on the mound. I popped out to Mike Gallego at 2nd.

Mark Ross took the ball for us in the bottom of the 8th.
They loaded the bases with one out but were unable to score.

In the 9th, Matt brought in Heathcliff Slocumb.
With two out, Dykstra hit an RBI single.

With men on the corners, Matt brought in Jeff Russell. He got the 3rd out and we won, 6-3.

SIX IN A ROW!

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a sac fly, and two RBI.

Tomorrow is a travel day as we head home to face the Astros.
