June 22nd, 1993

We won yesterday and have a new man in the clubhouse.

Today the Padres are pitching Danny Darwin (8-3, 3.20).

The Giants are going with Mark Gardner (2-2, 2.70).

I am leading off! This, I like.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by popping out to Sid Bream at 1st. This, I don't like.

I next came up with two out in the 3rd and drove a slider to left for a single.
Ken Caminiti walked.
We were stranded.

The Padres opened the scoring int he 4th when Robert Sandoval crossed on an Orlando Merced double.

Padres lead 1-0

I caught a Sandoval pop for the 2nd out in the 5th.

I came up with one out in the bottom half and I grounded out to Bream at 1st.

Roger Mason took the ball for us in the 6th.

We even the score in the bottom half when Bryce Bernadin doubled and scored on a Tim Naehring sac fly.

Game tied 1-1

I took care of a Sandoval grounder for the 3rd out in the 7th.

Mike Christoper was next to the mound for us in the 8th.

I led off the bottom of the 8th by sneaking one through to left field for a single.
I never got past 1st.

I don't know why my stolen bases have dried up so much.

With two out and one on in the 9th, Matt brought in Mike Perez.
That inherited runner - pinch hitter, Troy Staten - scored on a Luis Polonia double.

Padres lead 2-1

We couldn't get it back and lost a winnable game.

29-42

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles.
