Tuesday, June 2nd

IN THE NEWS: The KC Royals and Anaheim Angels play a brawl–filled game which results in managers Tony Muser and Terry Collins receiving 8–game suspensions. A total of 12 players are ejected in the Angels 7–5 victory.

Atlanta P Dennis Martinez hurls a 12–hit shutout as the Braves defeat the Brewers, 9–0. It is the 243rd victory of Martinez's career, as he ties Juan Marichal's record for most wins by a Latin American pitcher. 1B Andres Galarraga hits a pair of homers and drives in five runs for Atlanta.

The Phillies select University of Miami 1B Pat Burrell with the 1st pick in the First–Year Player Draft. Burrell's .888 slugging percentage is 2nd in NCAA history. The Athletics follow by taking Michigan State P Mark Mulder at No. 2; the Cubs take high school OF Corey Patterson with No. 3; Stanford P Jeff Austin is grabbed by the Royals at No. 4; and last year's top pick, J.D. Drew is selected by the Cardinals as No. 5. Drew will debut in September. The 19-year-old Patterson will get a record $3.7 million from the Cubs, but will sign too late to play in 1998, while Mulder will pocket $3.2 million from the A's. Picking 9th, the Padres select Sean Burroughs, son of former MLer Jeff Burroughs. Drew Henson, Michigan QB, drops to the 3rd round where the Yanks take him.

Sunday, June 28th

IN THE NEWS: Milwaukee 3B Jeff Cirillo gets five hits and drives in two runs, but it's not enough to keep the Brewers from losing a 10–8 decision to the White Sox.

The Twins Bob Tewksbury slows down Mark McGwire, twice retiring him with a 44–MPH lob. McGwire grounds out in the 1st inning swinging at a lob, and then with a 0–2 count in the 4th, pops out to first on another. Tewksbury also retires Ray Lankford in the 6th on a lob and ends with a 3–2 win.

Sammy Sosa has two singles and an RBI—but no homers—as the Cubs snap a seven game losing streak with a 6–3 win over the Royals.
