Highlights
The story of this one was the 2 hit pitching performance of Matt Morris for the Giants who baffled the A’s hitters all day with a tantalizing curve ball in front of a capacity crowd at the aging McAfee Coliseum. He struck out 9 and allowed only 1 run when Travis Buck tripled to leadoff the 6th and scored on a sacrifice fly to center off the bat of first baseman Dan Johnson. The A’s starter Joe Kennedy allowed an unnecessary run in the 2nd when Eliezer Alfonzo came home from third on a wild pitch. Kennedy allowed 2 more runs on solo homers by Randy Winn to lead off the 3rd inning and to Rich Aurilia to lead off the 8th. After getting Barry Bonds to ground out to second, Kennedy was lifted in favor of Robertson who was unable to retire any of the 4 batters he faced and gave up another run. Lenny DiNardo came in to get the final 2 outs of the inning and completed the game by pitching a scoreless 9th. Barry Bonds was 0 for 4 with a walk while not getting the ball out of the infield.
