Chicago and Brooklyn have 30-25 records one better than Arizona and San Francisco (29-26) who are also just one game ahead of the next two teams; Montreal and Philadelphia (28-27).
Milwaukee, a contender earlier in the season has faded to 24-31 six back and on and off Pittsburgh has won seven of its last ten, the best streak in the league at this time.
Arizona has lost seven of its last ten.
Milwaukee 1 Chicago 0
The Milwaukee starting pitcher Ewald Kieschnick was the star of this game pitching a string eight inning. Chicago had only four hits and did not score on the 32 year old right hander who walked one and struck out six.
Stephen Yoter (six save) took care of the 9th inning to preserve the victory.
The one and only run of the game was unearned and came in the 3rd inning. Sterling Macha single with no outs. Kieschnick bunted him to second. Pat Halt got the next two batters out and would have escaped any scoring had not Juan Myers reached on an error by left fielder Andy McDaniel (DROP).
1-0 FINAL....
=====================================
Philadelphia 5 Arizona 4
Philadelphia plays a lot of close low scoring games (14 one run games). They have starting playing much better defensively with the insertion of a waiver wire acquisition Lenny Gassaway and an offensive resurgence by outfielder John Pitkovec which has alleviated the need of playing two infielder in the outfield for their bats. Another adjustment has been the smooth transfer of shortstop Roy Jones to second to improve defensive cohesiveness up the middle.
Virgil Klassen (6-4 2.04 ERA) was the starting pitcher for Philadelphia was paired with another tough customer left hander Jimmy Key.
Klassen was good for seven innings; seven hits three earned runs three walks and three strikeouts.
Key went seven and one-third innings; four hits, four runs, all earned walked an uncharacteristic eight batters and struck out nine with a very lively moving fastball.
Both teams had bullpen issues which decided the game in the end.
The A's got on the board first scoring once in the 4th inning on Key. Gary McCollough walked. Key got a big called strikeout on Steve Smith as McCollough, running on the pitch, safely stole second. Catcher Russ Martin's throw sailed into center field allowing McCollough to race over to third base
Arizona seemed to take control of the game in the 5th. First they tied the game 1-1 on singles by Gus Baldwin, and Shannon Stewart. Key successfully bunted the runners up one base and Baldwin came in to score on a ground out by Tulowitzki.
The next inning saw Arizona take a 2-1 lead. Bell walked, advanced on a ground out to third by Delgado, the first out of the inning. Martin struck out, two outs. Robbie Alomar prevented Klassen from completing his escape without allowing a run with a single to left driving in Bell.
Willie Upshaw's 3rd homerun of the season upped the socre to 3-1 finishing Klassen after seven inning.
In the bottom of the 8th Key seemed to run out of gas getting just one out in the frame. Key legs left him and he gave up a single to Roy Jones and then tried to adjust to the fatique causing him to lose his release point walking three straight batters; Perezchica, McCollough, and Steve Smith forcing in a run (Jones). That brought Philadelphia to within one run;3-2.
Pinch hitter Allan Burch, bristling because of decreased playing time, split the outfielders to doubled to the center field wall scoring Perezchica and McCollough. Smith tried to score from first on the play but was gunned down at the plate by center fielder Vernon Wells.
Philadelphia took the lead 4-3.
Arizona was not done!
Once again they rallied to tie the game 4-4. Gus Baldwin singled to right field Aaron Hill singled in Baldwin to tie it 4-4.
Bottom of the ninth..another chance for a walk off win for the A's...facing Bob Dickerson.
Pinch hitter Don Davis singled..stole second and Pitkovec, the hottest Philadelphia batter singled in the winning run.
