Wednesday, July 17th

IN THE NEWS: Two naked Braves fans run onto the field at Fulton County Stadium then slide into home plate. The duo are apprehended by security guards. Not distracted, the Braves defeat the Cubs, 12-2.

In a 15-inning, 9-8 loss to the Royals, Sam Horn of the Orioles becomes the first non-pitcher to fan six consecutive times in a single game. Pitcher Carl Weilman of the Browns was the only other player to have the dubious distinction, performing the feat on August 25, 1913.

Cleveland defeats Oakland, 2-1, as Indians hurler Rod Nichols gets the victory and breaks a personal 13-game losing streak dating back to September 1989.

Randy Johnson takes just four innings to rack up 10 walks. He fans 4, tosses a wild pitch and allows one hit and four runs in his stint, a 6–1 loss to the Brewers. Bill Wegman takes the complete game win.

IN THE NEWS: Detroit pounds Kansas City, 17–0 to give Bill Gullickson an easy win over Tom Gordon. It is the worst loss in franchise history for KC, and a reversal of the matchup on July 14th between the same two starters. The Royals routed the Bengals, 18–4.

Cal Ripken Jr. strokes his 20th home run of the season in Baltimore's 4-1 victory over Seattle. He becomes just the 8th player in history to reach that number in each of his first 10 big league seasons and it comes in Ripken's 1,500th consecutive game played. Roy Smith is the winner over Rich DeLucia.

Robin Ventura drives in six runs on two homers and two doubles to lead Chicago to a 14–3 win over Milwaukee. Jack McDowell (12-4) is the winner.

Wednesday, July 24th

IN THE NEWS: In a game against the Mariners, the Yankees score three runs on a ground ball hit back to the pitcher. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out in the 4th, Pat Kelly hits a comebacker to Erik Hanson. The Seattle hurler traps Kevin Maas in a rundown between 3rd and home, but Maas scores when 3B Edgar Martinez's throw hits him in the back. The ball rolls up the 1st base line in foul territory where it is recovered by C Dave Cochrane. Cochrane throws home to head off Alvaro Espinoza who is also attempting to score. The throw goes into the Mariners' dugout allowing Espinoza and Kelly to cross the plate with the 2nd and 3rd runs.

Recently recalled 1B Brian Hunter of the Braves hits a home run in Atlanta's 7-4 loss to Pittsburgh while his former minor league team, the Richmond Braves, is finishing a suspended game against Pawtucket. Hunter had homered in that game before it was called, giving him round-trippers in the major and minor leagues on the same day.
