IN THE NEWS: Reds manager Pete Rose is suspended for 30 days by National League president Bart Giamatti, the stiffest suspension ever levied against a manager for an on-field incident. On April 30th Rose shoved umpire Dave Pallone in the 9th inning of a 6–5 loss to the Mets, inciting a near riot among Cincinnati fans.

Reds pitcher Ron Robinson is one out away from a perfect game against the Astros when pinch hitter Wallace Johnson singles, and Tim Raines follows with a home run. John Franco preserves the Reds' 3–2 victory.

IN THE NEWS: The Padres fire manager Larry Bowa and replace him with Jack McKeon, who is also the club's vice president of baseball operations. McKeon's son-in-law, Greg Booker, has pitched in 17 of the first 46 Padre games, but will appear in just 17 games the rest of the year.

Seattle's infield records 22 assists in a 6–1 win over the Yankees, a ML record. Alvin Davis at 1B has a record tying 22 putouts. Yankee 1B Don Mattingly last season had 22 putouts, the most since 1906.

In his first start since 1981, Milwaukee's Odell Jones no-hits the Indians for 81/3 innings before allowing a pinch single to Ron Washington. Dan Plesac saves the 2–0 victory.
