August 23rd, 1991

We are in Pittsburgh.

The Pirates are pitching Clay Parker (7-5, 4.15).

The Giants have Don Robinson (5-5, 3.69).

I have very little exposure to Parker and even less success, going 0 for 3.

I a hitting fifth.

We opened the scoring in the 1st when Ruben Sierra hit a solo homer.

I came up with two out and Alvin Davis on 1st. I grounded out to Chris Butterfield at 1st.

Giants lead 1-0

That lead was very short lived as the Pirates third batter, Sid Bream, hit a three run home run.

I got the 2nd out in the bottom of the 1st, off a fielder's choice ball by Charlie Montoyo.

Pirates lead 3-1

I came up with one out in the 4th and reached on an infield single.
Stolen base #64.
I went to 3rd on a Timothy McKercher groundout.
I was left on.

Willie McGee led off the bottom of the 5th with a home run.

I next came up with one out in the 6th. I grounded out to Butterfield again.

Mike Scott took the ball for us in the bottom of the 6th.
Rick Cerone also replaced Timothy in a double switch.

In the 7th I started a Priske - Thompson - Davis double play to get Sid Bream and Marcus Carter to end the inning.

I came up in the 8th with two out and Alvin on 1st. Mike Stanton was now pitching, I walked.
Craig Grebeck hit for Mike but struck out.

Scott Service took over on the mound after that.

We lost our 4th game in a row. We are now seven games below .500.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, a walk, and a stolen base.
