richiecunningham
Anaheim's Keith McDonald was oh xo close to perfection and a no-hitter but had to settle for a eight inning one hit one walk 10 strikeout gem.
McDonald's ten strikeouts all came in the first five innings when he struck out the side in the first and fifth innings and recorded two strikeout in the third and fourth innings.
Second baseman Ron Bernaro made a blue star play in the second inning when he dove to knock down a smash by Dave Rush to his left and threw him out. In McDonalds last inning of work, the eight, Bernaro threw out all three batters.
Brad Hopkins walked with two outs in the fourth to break up the perfect game and Don Escobar bloop single to right leading off the sixth inning ended the no-hit bid.
Anaheim did not score off Minnesota starter Esteban Daniels until the ninth inning despite having six hits and being given seven walks.
The lead off batter in the ninth Johnnie Beck doubled to right field bringing Daniels outing to a close.
Manny Hendrickson replaced him and retired the first two batters he faced. Then Steve Murray's solid single to right scored Beck with the game's first run.
After Beck scored Ryan Mills singled sending Murray to third and Ray Guinn got Anaheim's fourth hit of the inning making the score 2-0 Anaheim
Johnny Navarro struck out two in the bottom of the ninth to save it for Anaheim.
Toronto 11 Baltimore 3
Wade Eyrich went the distance allowing seven hits and three runs with ten strikeouts and five walks and was backed up by his teammates with sixteen hits and eleven runs as Toronto waltzed to this win 11-3.
Kevin Thomas led Toronto's hitters with four hits in four at bats, scorred three runs, and drive in two.
Oakland pounded Cleveland 10-3,
Rolando George had three hits including a triple and a homerun driving in six runs.
Detroit 7 Boston 3
Detroit won its fourth straight humbling Boston 7-3.
Twenty-two year old left hander Craig Tabler, a sixth round draft choice, who almost did not start the game because of the success Boston hitters have had against left handed pitchers, went 7.1 innings and allowed 5 hits and 2 runs.
The youngster had some control issues walking 6, but he fanned 7 before departing with one out in the 8th inning after he had walked two in the inning.
Ted Cooper came on and had a little difficulty getting through the inning. He allowed a single to pinch hitter Mike Miller but no run scored because Alfonso Booker was thrown out at the plate by center fielder Wes Parsons.
Dutch Felix flied out for the final out of the inning.
Detroit scored 7 runs and had 16 hits off five Boston pitchers. The Tigers got well into the Boston bullpen in the first game of the series with two remaining.
Tiger shortstop Tony Cooke got the scoring going with his 4th long ball of the season in the second inning off Boston starter Ike Fulmer.
Reggie Johnson hit a sacrifice fly to right field that brought in Wes Parsons in the third and that upped the score to 2-0 Detroit.
Alfonso Booker made it a new game in the 4th with a two run blast off Tabler that tied it 2-2.
One out single by Bill Sealey in the 6th and a two out triple by the pitcher Tabler made it 3-0 and a RBI single by Parsons made it 4-2.
Catcher Mike Simpson hit a two run homerun off reliever Bob Kauff in the 7th made it 6-2 and all but iced the game.
Sealey had an RBI triple on the top of the 9th and Boston put one more on the board in the bottom of the ninth to make the final 7-3,
Alex Colpaert picked up his 11th save.
