April 16th, 1986

Today the Astros are pitching Bert Blyelven.

The Giants have Terry Mulholland.

I am 0 for 10 vs Bert.

Houston opened the scoring right away as Glenn Davis singled home Harold Baines. I stopped them by taking a Doug DeCinces grounder for the last out.

Astros lead 1-0.

I led off the home half by grounding out to Dickie Thon at short.

We tied it up in the 2nd when Robby Thompson singled home Mike Aldrete.
I came up with two out and two on. I struck out.

Game tied 1-1.

I got the 1st out in the 3rd, off a Bill Doran grounder.

In the 4th Ken Griffey smacked a two run homer to grab the lead back for Houston. I got the 2nd out after that, off a Thon grounder.

Astros lead 3-1.

I got the last out in the visitor's 5th, off a Glenn Davis grounder.

I then led off our half by grounding out to DeCinces at 3rd.
What did you expect at this point?

I tried to make up for it on defies, but making a highlight catch off a DeCinces liner.

Pat Perry took the ball for us with two out in the 7th. He double switched in Tom O'Malley for Kenny Oberkfell at 3rd.
Perry couldn't strand the inherited runner as Jerry Mumphrey singled home Bill Doran.

Astros lead 4-1.

I got the 1st out in the 8th off a Davis grounder.

I led off our half by striking out.

Frank Williams took the mound in the 9th.
I got the 2nd out for him, on a pinch hit Keith Hernandez grounder.

In the bottom of the 9th, down by three, we started things off with a Bob Brenly single, a Robby Thompson reached-on-error, and a Steve Stanicek walk. That brought Tom O'Malley up with the bases loaded and none out. He lined out but Brenly scored.
Nestor did the right thing, and pinch hit for me. Lee Mazzilli walked the bags back full. Mike Jones pinch hit a single to bring us within one. Chili Davis hit a sac fly to score Stanicek to tie the game. Rob Deer walked and we are tied again. Mike Aldrete grounded out and the game was going to extras.

Without me in it.

In the 10th the Astris scored three times, unanswered. We had lost another one. We are 2-6. (We aren't even in last. The Padres are 1-9. And they are coming to town tomorrow.)

I am .033.

Tim Raines finished a 38 game hit streak yesterday.

I can't even get one measly hit in a series.
