The next batter, Fred Hartman, hits into a DP.

The Nats test the rookie by laying down 14 bunts, three of which are misplayed by Hess, four are hits, and seven go for sacrifices. Cleveland SS Johnny Gochnauer breaks his finger in the 3rd inning when he tries to flag down a line drive hit by Ed Delahanty. Gochnauer stays in the game and doubles in the tying runs in the 8th inning and doubles home the winner off Casey Patten in the 10th.

He had a 16-year, .346 batting average.

» July 6, 1986: Bob Horner becomes the 11th player to hit four home runs in a game, but it isn't enough as the Braves fall to the Expos 11–8.

On the winning side, Al Newman cracks his first ML home run, off Zane Smith; it'll be his only homer, as Newman will go to the American League next year and set the junior circuit record by going to bat 1,893 times without a 4-bagger.
