Game #521 - San Francisco Giants, 2 @ New York Mets, 7
Bob Brenly of the Giants and Darryl Strawberry of the Mets each had an RBI double in the first inning as both teams came out slugging. George Foster added a solo homer in the second to give New York the lead.
Disaster struck in the third for the Giants once again. In yet another brutal twist of fate, Dusty Baker became the latest in a looooooong line of San Fran injuries. He ran into the wall chasing a Keith Hernandez double and will be out for 30 games! I think the Giants have logged more DL time than the other 25 teams combined...
Mookie Wilson ripped a three-run homer in the fourth and Strawberry launched a two-run blast in the fifth to ruin Jeff Robinson's day and give the Big Apple something to cheer for.
Winning Pitcher - Sid Fernandez
Losing Pitcher - Jeff Robinson
Save - Brent Gaff
Player of the Game - Strawberry, 2-3, 2b, HR, 3RBI, intentional walk
Game #522 - Los Angeles Dodgers, 10 @ Philadelphia Phillies
Sometimes the tide can really change in a game. This was a lefty battle as Steve Carlton faced off against Fernando Valenzuela. Fernando was in trouble early and often, especially after a two-run error by Candy Maldonado. But in the top of the fifth, L.A. came roaring back. They plated five against a shell-shocked Carlton, including a home run by Mike Marshall. Carlton was still in the game when Valenzuela launched his second homer of the season in the sixth. He has the same total as Pedro Guerrero now, which is crazy.
Winning Pitcher - Fernando Valenzuela
Losing Pitcher - Steve Carlton
Player of the Game - Marshall, 3-4, 2 HR's, 4RBI, Sac Fly
Hall of Famers in the Game - Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton
