Despite a fine performance by third baseman Dave Kingman, the San Francisco Giants suffered a 6-5 loss to the Montreal Expos.
Kingman was 1 for 1 with a home run and
4 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Montreal reliever Joe Gilbert picked up the win, bumping his record to 1-0. Jerry Johnson was collared with the loss. Mike G Marshall earned save number 5.
Dave's dinger came off
RHP John Strohmayer. His 4 BB's were a career high. But unfortunately he is up to 9 errors at 3B in just 31 games. Here is the weird looking box score:
TOP OF THE 7TH
