September 21st, 1987

The Dodgers are in town for a three game set.
They are pitching Bob Welch (12-13, 3.51).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (13-9, 3.30).

I have done well against Welch, hitting 7 of 18.

I led off in the 1st by flying out to Candy Maldonado in left.

In the 3rd we turned a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Steve Sax and Tim Wallach to end the inning.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Alan Cockrell on 3rd. I walked. Stolen base #112. Alan and I both scored on a double by Mike Aldrete. Then he scored on a single by Chili Davis. Chili scored on a Rob Deer double and Rob later scored when Welch balked.

Giants lead 5-0

Dave Winfield led off the 4th with a home run. Darrell Evans later scored on a wild pitch.

Giants lead 5-2

I came up in the 4th with two out and Rick on 1st. They brought in Mickey Weston to face me. I grounded out to Wallach at 3rd.

In the 6th Evans scored on a single by pinch hitter Gene Larkin. Then both Dave Anderson and Larkin scored on a Stu Pederson double.
That was it for Rick as Nestor went to Frank Williams. He got out of it.

Game tied 5-5

IN the bottom half we grabbed the lead back. Robby Thompson tripled and then scored on a double by Alan. Chris Brown and Alan both scored on a single by pinch hitter Jerry Mumphrey. I came up next and was struck out by Ricky Horton.

Giants lead 8-5

Jeff Robinson took the mound for us to kick off the 7th.

In the bottom half Rob Deer scored on a sac fly by pinch hitter Ruben Sierra. I came up next and Bryan Harvey struck me out.

Giants lead 9-5

Scott Garrelts was next to take the ball for the Giants.
Six up, six down and we had the win.

That is NINE in a row!

I went 0 for 4 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base.

The Reds lost so our Magic Number is 6.
