Sunday, July 1st

IN THE NEWS: Yankees Andy Hawkins throws the season's 6th no-hitter, but still loses 4–0 to the White Sox. With two out in the bottom of the 8th, New York's Mike Blowers misplays Sosa's routine grounder for an error, and Hawkins walks two to load the bases. Outfielders Jim Leyritz and Jesse Barfield drop back-to-back fly balls to allow all four runs to score. Barfield loses Ivan Calderon's fly ball in the sun and the ball bounces off his mitt. Ken Johnson in 1964 was the last pitcher to lose a no-hitter.

IN THE NEWS: The Twins pull off a ML first—2 triple plays in the same game, in the 4th and 8th innings. Both are started on grounders to 3B Gary Gaetti, who has started five of the Twins' last six triple killings. Despite the ML record, the Red Sox win anyway, 1–0.

At Yankee Stadium, Mel Stottlemyre, Jr. makes his ML debut, pitching an inning of relief inning against the Bronx Bombers. He gives up three runs, but the Royals unload on Andy Hawkins (1–8) to win 10–7.

Wednesday, July 18th

IN THE NEWS: A day after setting a major-league record for triple plays, the Twins and Red Sox set one for DPs. The Red Sox hit into six double plays, while the Twins ground into four to set the ML record, as the Red Sox win again, 5–4. The previous mark of nine DPs was last accomplished on April 15, 1961.

Arbitrator George Nicolau rules in favor of the players association saying that the 26 ML owners colluded and were aware of a databank that detailed 1987 salary offers.
