FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»July 8, 2001: In Toronto's 9–3 win over Montreal, Jays' rookie Cesar Izturis hits his 1st ML homer inside the park, thanks to Expos LF Mark Smith losing the ball in the lights. He gets a glove on it, but Izturis beats the relay throw from Orlando Cabrera, who also hit his 1st homer inside-the-park. The win goes to 30-year-old rookie Chris Michalak (6-6), who will be waived next month and picked up by Texas.
»August 25, 2001:
The Rangers defeat the Red Sox, 8–7 in 18 innings, in six hours, 35 minutes—the longest game of the season. The teams combined to use 17 pitchers, one away from the major-league record for an extra–inning contest. Boston makes an error and a wild pitch in the last frame, and Chad Curtis scores on a grounder after stealing 3B. Chris Michalak is the winning pitcher: he was the loser yesterday.
