April 7th, 1987

Game 2 of the season and game 2 vs the Padres.

The Giants are going with Eric Show and the Pads have Dave Dravecky.

I have gone 8 for 28, .286 against Dravecky.

Steve Stanicek made a highlight reel catch off a Tony Gwynn liner to kick things off.

I led off our half by working a walk.
Stolen base #2.
With one out I grabbed stolen base #3.
I was unable to score.

In the 3rd I got Gwynn out on a Randy Ready fielder's choice. We gave up our first run of the year that inning when Kevin McReynolds singled, scoring Ready. Then John Kruk scored on an Ozzie Guillen sac fly.

Padres lead 2-0

I came up with two out in the 3rd and grounded out to Carmelo Martinez at 1st.

In the 6th we turned a Grich - Priske - O'Malley double play to get Gwynn and Ready.

I led off our half by grounding out to Glenn Hubbard at 2nd.
The rest of the inning went better, capped off with a Rob Deer three-run blast!

Giants lead 3-2

Jeff Robinson came in to pitch for us in the 7th. He got through the inning and then Dennis Eckersley came in for the 8th.

I led off the bottom half by flying out to Kruk in centre.
In that inning Chris Brown scored on a Child Davis double.

Giants lead 4-2

In the 9th I started a Priske - Grich - O'Malley double play to end the game and give Eck the save.

We are still undefeated.

I was 0 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base. I am hitting .125
