IN THE NEWS: Mike Jeffcoat of the Rangers gets an RBI double in the 9th inning of a 15-1 win over the Brewers. He becomes the first American League pitcher to drive in a run in a game since the DH rule went into effect in 1973, and the first AL pitcher to get a hit since Ferguson Jenkins did so on October 2, 1974.

Following the Reds' 7–3 loss to the Giants, Cincinnati manager Lou Piniella accuses umpire Gary Darling of being biased against the Reds. The eruption occurs when Darling overrules Dutch Rennert, who had called Bill Doran's ball a home run. The Major League Umpires Association will file a $5 million defamation suit against Piniella on the 4th.

The Blue Jays edge the booming bats of the Tigers, 2-1, and increase their lead to five 1/2 games over Detroit. Guillermo Hernandez of Detroit saved 32 consecutive games in 1984, but blown saves were not an official stat at the time.

Wednesday, August 14th

IN THE NEWS: California's Dave Winfield slugs the 400th home run of his career, becoming the 23rd player in history to reach the milestone, in a 7-4 win over the Minnesota Twins. The blow comes off Minnesota southpaw Dave West.

Jeff Reardon of the Red Sox and Lee Smith of the Cardinals both reach the 30-save level for the 6th consecutive season, tying the major league record. Reardon notches his in a 2-1 win over Cleveland, while Smith saves St. Louis' 5-4 victory over the Mets.

San Diego's Fred McGriff hits a grand slam for the 2nd game in a row, tying a major league mark. He is the 12th player—but just the 3rd National Leaguer—to perform the feat, with Babe Ruth the only one to do so twice. His blast brings home all San Diego's runs in a 4-1 win over the Astros.

Seattle's Randy Johnson tosses a 1-hitter against the Oakland A's, losing the no-hitter in the 9th inning when Mike Gallego singles. He records his 11th win of the year with the 4-0 victory.

Atlanta's Tom Glavine (18–3) leaves after seven innings and Randy St. Claire and Mike Stanton mop up a 15–0 whitewash over Pittsburgh. Lonnie Smith has five hits and Brian Hunter and Otis Nixon four apiece for the Braves. St. Claire, in his 2nd year with Atlanta, along with his father Ebba, is the first father-son pair to play for the Braves.

IN THE NEWS: Yankees 1B Don Mattingly is benched and fined $250 for refusing to cut his shoulder-length hair, but the Yankees still beat Kansas City, 5–1. He will get one two days later, and the hair will eventually be auctioned off for $3,000 to benefit a children's charity. Mattingly is not alone; Steve Farr, Matt Nokes, and Pascual Perez have all been told their hair length violates club policy. Mel Hall, who wears his hair in a small ponytail before and after games, is warned his appearance is "borderline."

IN THE NEWS: Yankees OF Bernie Williams fans five consecutive times in a 7-4 loss to the Royals to tie the major league mark for a 9-inning game. He's consoled by Yankee hitting coach Frank Howard, one of the 28 batters who share the mark.

After nearly two months off with a chronic backache, David Justice rejoins the Atlanta Braves in time for tonight's twinbill with the Reds. Even without him, the Braves are just two games behind the Dodgers in the National League West.

Toronto manager Cito Gaston is hospitalized with a herniated disk and Gene Tenace takes over on an interim basis. He'll be 13-6 in his first 19 games to keep Toronto on top.

In Helena, Montana, the Helena Brewers beat Idaho Falls, 28–0 in the Pioneer League. Helena has 27 hits, including six homers, but sets no records. The good news for Idaho Falls is no errors, and their last pitcher is 1B Loren Gress. He outpitches the real pitchers, giving up no runs and a hit in one 1/3 innings.

Wednesday, August 28th

IN THE NEWS: Cincinnati's Tom Browning defeats Montreal's Dennis Martinez, 11-3, in the first matchup of perfect game hurlers in 25 years. Sandy Koufax and Jim Bunning performed the feat on October 2, 1966.

Jim Eppard of the Salinas Spurs of the California League plays all nine positions as the Spurs defeat the San Bernardino Spirit, 2-1. Eppard gets credit for the win by pitching a scoreless 5th inning. The former California Angels OF becomes one of the few left-handers to play every position in a single game.

The Mets trade P Alejandro Pena to the Braves for P Tony Castillo and a player to be named later.
