Friday, August 3rd

IN THE NEWS: Cleveland's Tom Candiotti has his no hitter spoiled in the 8th inning when New York's Oscar Azocar singles. Candy leaves the game then and takes the loss as the Tribe drops a 6–4 decision. In just his 2nd week in the majors, Cleveland's Alex Cole ties a major-league record by stealing seven bases in two games. He set the club record by swiping five bases against the Royals on August 1st.

The Braves trade 2-time MVP OF Dale Murphy to the Phillies for reliever Jeff Parrett and a pair of players to be named later.

Pittsburgh's Doug Drabek is one out away from a no-hitter when he gives up a single to the Phillies Sil Campusano, who is hitting .188. Drabek finishes with an 11–0 one-hitter.

IN THE NEWS: The Phillies Terry Mulholland spins the major leagues' 8th no-hitter of the season. Mulholland faces the minimum 27 batters in blanking the Giants 6–0, as just one runner reaches base on a throwing error by Charlie Hayes. But Hayes makes the last putout by grabbing a Gary Carter line drive. John Kruk also makes a crucial play by reaching into the stands to pull back a one-out popup by Matt Williams in the 8th.

Mark McGwire hits a game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the 10th to give Oakland a 6–2 win over Boston. He becomes the first player to hit 30 home runs in each of his first four seasons.

Tuesday, August 21st

IN THE NEWS: Trailing 11–1 after seven innings, the Phillies score two in the 8th and nine more in the 9th inning to beat the Dodgers 12–11.

Billy Hatcher ties a major-league record with four doubles to pace the Reds to an 8–1 win over the Cubs. Rick Mahler beats Mike Harkey. The only score for Chicago in Ryne Sandberg's 29th homer.

For the last time this century, two rookie pitchers debut against each other as Paul Abbott of the Twins squares off against Jim Campbell of the Royals. Abbott is the loser as the Royals win, 8–7. He'll do better in his next outing, allowing three Texas hits in eight innings.
