May 11th, 1993

Another day on the mountains, trying to stop the bleeding.

Today the Rockies are pitching Anthony Young (1-3, 5.80).

The Giants are answering with Bryan Hickerson (1-2, 4.56).

I am hitting sixth.

I came up with two out in the 2nd and flew out to Mike Devereaux in centre.

I handled a Dave Magadan grounder for the 1st out in the home half of the inning.

In the 3rd, Devereaux scored on a double play.
Then Dickie Thon crossed on a Scott Livingstone single.

Rockies lead 2-0

I came up next with one out in the 5th. I flew out to Devereaux again.

Joe Boever took the ball for us in the 6th.

We got on the board in the 7th when Tim Naehring hit a solo homer.
I came up that inning with two out and I grounded out to Orestes Destrade at 1st.

Rockies lead 2-1

I took care of a Magadan grounder to end the 7th.

Bret Lachemann took over on the mound for us in the 8th.
I got the 1st out for him off a Benito Santiago grounder.

We couldn't score in the 9th and picked up another loss.

9-24. 8 games out. Dead last.

I went 0 for 3.

More changes after that.
