April 12th, 1987

Today the Giants are pitching Eric Show against Bob Welch and the Dodgers.

I have gone 2 for 10 against Welch.

I kicked off the game by flying out to Mookie Wilson in centre.

I got the 1st out in the bottom half, taking a Steve Sax grounder.

Darrell Evans opened the scoring by leading off the bottom of the 2nd with a homer. I handled a Franklin Stubbs grounder for the 2nd out.

Dodgers lead 1-0

I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded out right back to Welch.

L.A. struck again in the 4th when Dave Winfield doubled home Tim Wallach.

Dodgers lead 2-0

I came up in the 5th with two out and Eric on 1st. I got an all too rare single, moving Show to 3rd. We were left.

Things got much worse in the 6th when Stubbs smashed a three-run homer. That chased Eric and Nestor went to Frank Williams.

Dodgers lead 5-0

I came up with two out in the 7th and poked one into right for a single. I was left.

Mark Davis took over mound duties.
After getting one out, Nestor switched to Mark Clear.
Mark walked the first two in the 9th and Nestor came out again, this time going to Jeff Robinson.
Winfield singled to load them up. Jeff got the next two out but then walked Dave Anderson, scoring Wallach.

Dodgers lead 6-0

I came up in the 9th with two out and Alan Cockrell on 3rd. Ricky Horton was pitching. I hit one off the wall in centre for an RBI triple!

We lost 6-1

I had a pretty good day, though, going 3 for 5 with a triple and an RBI!

Cockrell was right back down after the game with Scott Bradley coming back.
Tomorrow we are heading to San Diego.
