May 21st, 1986

Today the Mets are pitching Sid Fernandez (1-3, 3.94).
The Giants have Eric King (3-1, 2.35).

I have gone 2 for 10 vs Sid.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by flying out to Darryl Strawberry in right.
Wes truck that inning, as both Chris Brown and Child Davis scored on a Mike Aldrete double.

Giants lead 2-0.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Kenny Oberkfell on 3rd and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I struck out.

In the 3rd the Mets pushed Alfredo Griffin across on a Hubie Brooks double.

Giants lead 2-1.

In the 4th Mazzilli doubled. scoring Bob Brenly from 3rd. I came up with two out and Lee on 3rd. I grounded out to Joe Redfield at 3rd.

Giants lead 3-1.

Bill Laskey relieved King after two of the first three Mets batters reached in the 5th. (Eric had a high pitch count due to striking out seven.) Bill got us out of it.

In the bottom half we widened the lead when Chili smacked a two-run homer, chasing Sid.

Giants lead 5-1.

I made my first defensive play in the 6th, taking Ken Phelps grounder.

I came up int he bottom half with two out and Laskey on 1st. Rick Aguilera was pitching. I grounded out to Griffin at 2nd.

Jeff Robinson relieved with one out and one on in the 8th. He got out of it before turning it over to Scott Garrelts in the 9th. Scott struggled with his control a bit, walking two, but got the other three out to seal the win.

5-1 Giants!

We are now 27-12.

Bad day for me at the plate. Another one.

After the game Bill Laskey was sent back to Phoenix in favour of Curt Brown. Bill pitched well. I assume this is just to keep the 'pen fresh.
