May 7th, 1991

We want to bounce back from the loss yesterday and it is a battle of rookies.

The Expos are pitching fellow Canadian Mike Lumley in his Major League debut.

The Giants have Tom Kramer (2-0, 2.50), a relative veteran in his 4th appearance.

I am hitting seventh.

We scored in the top of the 1st when Ruben Sierra crossed on an Alvin Davis double.

Giants lead 1-0

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Ryan Klesko on 2nd. I hit one to the left field fence for an RBI double!
I advanced to 3rd on a Timothy McKercher groundout but was stranded there.

Giants lead 2-0

With the bases loaded we turned a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to get Jose Offerrman and Chris Donells to end the inning.

The Expos tied it up in the 3rd with a home run from rookie, Sammy Sosa.

Game tied 2-2

I came up in the 4th with one out and Ryan on 1st. I drove one up the middle for a single, moving Ryan to 2nd.
We were left there.

I handled a Donnels grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 4th.

In the 5th Ruben hit a two run homer to give us the lead back.

Giants lead 4-2

I led off the 6th, now facing Tim Scott. I grounded out to Donnels at 3rd.

Heathcliff Slocumb took over for us in the 6th, another player making his big league debut.

I got him his 5th out, the 2nd in the bottom of the 7th, off a Pedro Guerrero pinch hit grounder.

I came up in the 8th with one out and Tom Henke pitching. I grounded out to Donnels again.

After Heathcliff pitched two perfect innings in a nice debut, Matt brought in Mark Ross for the 8th.
I got the 3rd out for him, dealing with a grounder by Russ McGinnis.

Rob Deer hit a two run homer in the top of the 9th.

Giants lead 6-2

Joe Boever took the mound for us in the 9th.

He allowed a couple of baserunners but no runs and we had the win.

I went 2 for 4 with a single, a double, and an RBI.
