JUNE
1996

Saturday, June 1st

IN THE NEWS: Pittsburgh's Paul Wagner allows just one hit in seven innings, but his wildness costs him as the Rockies top the Bucs, 2–0. Four Rockies' Ps combine for the team's first shutout this year, matching last year's total. Dante Bichette's 2nd-inning single accounts for both Colorado scores against Wagner, who strikes out 10.

A day after the Indians-Brewers brawl, the two teams get into it again. And quickly. Leadoff hitter Kenny Lofton doubles and then shoves 2B Fernando Vina to clear both benches. The Brewers win the game 2–1.

With five singles, Chuck Knoblauch leads the Minnesota Twins over Texas, 9–5.

Sunday, June 2nd

IN THE NEWS: In St. Louis, Todd Stottlemyre outpitches Houston's Darryl Kile to win, 2–0, as the Cards sweep Houston in three games. Kile (6–4) hits four Cards in the game, the first time a pitcher has done that since Moe Drabowsky on this same date in 1957.

In Philadelphia, the Phils edge the Padres, 9–8, in 12 innings when Ricky Otero singles home the winner with two outs. Mark Whiten drives in five runs for the winners on two homers. The first place Padres suffer a blow when Wally Joyner fractured left thumb sliding in the 4th inning. He will be out of action for six weeks.

At Oakland, the Yankees win 11–4 and do it the old—fashioned way—by stealing eight bases. Gerald Williams, with 10 career steals, has four steals to tie a club record, and rookie Derek Jeter adds 2. Kenny Rogers (4–1) is the benefactor, pitching six 1/3 innings for the win, as the Yankees stay one 1/2 games ahead of the O's.

At Duluth's Wade Stadium, Darryl Strawberry, in his comeback attempt, hits his first home run for the St. Paul Saints (Northern League), a mammoth 522-foot blast off Duluth Dukes pitcher Pat Ahearne.

Tuesday, June 4th

IN THE NEWS: Gregg Jefferies celebrates his return to the Phillies lineup by going 4-for-5, and Pete Incaviglia clubs two 3-run homers as the Phils coast to a 12–3 rain-delayed win over visiting Chicago. Jefferies has been out of the lineup since April four with a thumb injury.

Pitching dominates the baseball draft as 14 of the first 22 selections are moundsmen. Clemson pitcher Kris Benson is the top choice, going to Pittsburgh, while the Twins pick power hitting Travis Lee from San Diego State as the 2nd choice. The Cards follow with Wichita State P Braden Looper. Picking 14th, the White Sox take lefty Bobby Seay, but will declare him a free agent in August when the can't reach an agreement with his agent, Scott Boras. Lee, John Patterson (Expos), and Matt White (Giants) will also not sign and become free agents: the four will ink contracts with the Devil Rays and Diamondbacks, with White getting a $10.2 bonus, the largest in history. The Marlins use their 1st pick, 9th overall, on college player of the year, Mark Kotsay, and will ink him to a $1,125,000 contract. The Royals take high schooler Dee Brown in the first round. Boston picks Shea Hillenbrand in the 10th round.

Pam Davis, a starter for the Colorado Bullets women's baseball team, pitches an inning of scoreless relief in a AA exhibition game. Davis relieves for the Jacksonville Suns (Southern League) against the Australian Olympic team with the Suns ahead, 6–0. She gives up a leadoff double, then retires the next three batters.

Wednesday, June 5th

IN THE NEWS: At Wrigley Field, the Cubs spot the Phillies a 4–0 lead, then Sammy Sosa drives home five runs on three homers to give Chicago a 9–6 win.

In Cincy, the Giants score in each of the first seven innings to beat up the Reds, 15–4. Matt Williams and Marvin Benard drive in four apiece to make it easy for Mark Gardner (7–1).

Wednesday, June 12th

IN THE NEWS: The California Angels defeat the KC Royals, 4-3, in 10 innings to sweep the 3-game series between the two clubs. Chuck McElroy gets credit for all three wins in relief. He thus becomes the 1st pitcher to accomplish the feat since Mike Marshall of the Dodgers did it against the Giants in 1974. McElroy throws a total of 61 pitches in four 1/3 innings to run his record to 5-0.

Jeff Fassero allows five hits in eight innings as the Expos stop the Marlins, 8–0. Plate umpire Ed Rapuano is forced to leave the field on a stretcher after suffering a broken left collarbone. He was struck by a Andy Stankiewicz foul.

Marvin Freeman pitches seven shutout innings as he and two relievers pitch the Rockies to an 8–0 shutout of the Astros in Denver. It is the Rockies' first shutout at Coors Field in 103 games.

Reds' owner Marge Schott is again forced to relinquish day-to-day control of the team, this time through the 1998 season, because of her continual use of offensive remarks. Team controller John Allen will run the team, though Schott will retain her majority ownership.

The Yanks acquire Mike Aldrete from the Angels for Rich Monteleone.
