July 12th, 1992

It is the last game before the All-Star Break. We have dropped two of three against the Expos and are trying to even it up.

Montreal is pitching Eddie Portillo (8-5, 2.51).

The Giants have Pat Combs (5-1, 2.91).

I am back to hitting seventh.

I got in the action early as the first batter, Reggie Sanders, gave me a groundball for the 1st out.

In the 2nd, Thomas Howard scored on a Rey Sanchez single.

Expos lead 1-0

I came up in the bottom of the 2nd with two out and Jerry Browne on 2nd. I dumped one into right for an RBI single. I took 2nd on the play at the plate.
I was left on.

Game tied 1-1

I came up with two out in the bottom of the 4th and lined a single to right.
I went to 2nd on a Greg Myers single.
We were both left on.

I made my 2nd error of the series off a simple Urzendowski grounder! (All right, it wasn't that simple, but still...)
Once again, it didn't cost any runs.

I came up in the bottom of the 6th with two out and Craig Grebeck on 1st. I grounded out to Chris Donnels at 3rd.

I caught a Donnels liner for the 2nd out in the 7th.

I dealt with a Howard fielder's choice for the 2nd out in the 8th.

Jeff Russell took the ball for us with the score still knotted in the 9th.
I took care of a Sanchez grounder for the 1st out.
I did the same to pinch hitter Bill Moore for the 3rd out.

I came up in the bottom of the 9th with two out and Mark Tindall on the mound. I flew out to Howard in left.

We got through the 10th and then Mike Perez took the mound for us in the 11th.
Jose Offerman ended up scoring on a Sanchez single.

Expos lead 2-1

We couldn't get it back.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, an RBI, and an error.
