IN THE NEWS: Minnesota's Kirby Puckett hits a home run on the game's first pitch (from Walt Terrell) for the 2nd consecutive night, but the Twins lose to the Tigers 7–4. The night before Puckett hit Jack Morris's first pitch for a home run to spark the Twins to a 10–1 victory.

Cubs 3B Ron Cey hits his 300th and 301st home runs and Chicago scores four times in the top of the 9th to beat San Francisco 6–5.

Don Mattingly ties the major-league record with three sacrifice flies in the Yankees 9–4 win over the Rangers.

It's not the baseball that stinks today. A skunk wanders onto the field in the 7th inning at Jack Murphy Stadium and holds up the Padres-Pirates game for 7 minutes. The incident gives life to the rumor that a group of skunks live under the stadium, existing on peanuts and other food dropped by fans. The Bucs score 3 in the 8th and 1 in the 9th to beat the Padres, 7–6.

Sunday, May 25th

IN THE NEWS: George Brett collects his 2,000th hit, off Bryan Clark in the 4th inning of Kansas City's 2–1, 17-inning victory over the White Sox. Brett finishes the day 1-for-7, while Scott Bankhead picks up his first ML win.

Roger Clemens no-hits the Rangers for seven 2/3 innings before Oddibe McDowell singles and Clemens settles for a 2-hit 7–1 victory that improves his record to 8-0.

At Cleveland, Pat Tabler is at bat for Toronto when pitcher John Cerutti picks Joe Carter off 1B unassisted. Cerutti beats Carter back to the bag. This same play occurred last month in an A's-Twins game.
