FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»July 18, 1999:
Oakland rookie Olmedo Saenz hits a 2-run homer, Jimmy Haynes continued his strong pitching and Billy Taylor bounced back from taking a batted ball off his head on Saturday as the hot Oakland Athletics defeated the Colorado Rockies, 3-2. A's vet Tim Raines is 0-for-1 before leaving the game for the hospital because of dizziness. He first felt a pain two days ago and tests will show he has Lupus. Raines will sit out a year and make a remarkable comeback in 2001 with the Expos.
