Yanks Beat A's; Rangers Lose Again
NEW YORK (Reuter) -- Mike Stanley's two-out single scored
Paul O'Neill with the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth
inning as the New York Yankees defeated the Oakland Athletics,
8-7, Friday for their fourth consecutive victory.
The win kept the Yankees within two games in the American
League wild card race. Oakland fell to three games behind
Seattle and Kansas City.
In Arlington, Texas, Gary Gaetti drove in two runs and rookie
Johnny Damon homered for the second straight game, leading the
Kansas City Royals to their sixth straight win, 5-2 over the
Texas Rangers.
The Royals' eighth victory in nine games kept them tied with
Seattle atop the wild card race and dropped slumping Texas one
game behind. The Rangers have lost five straight and seven of
their last eight outings.
In Baltimore, Joey Cora homered and added an RBI single and
Tim Belcher pitched 6 1/3 strong innings to lead the Seattle
Mariners to 4-3 victory over the slumping Baltimore Orioles.
The Mariners have won six of eight. Baltimore, which has
dropped six straight home games, has lost the first four games
of its 10-game homestand and fell six games back in the wild
card race.
In Chicago, five relievers combined to allow one run over
seven innings and Norberto Martin's third-inning RBI groundout
snapped a tie as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Toronto Blue
Jays, 5-3.
In Minneapolis, Chuck Knoblauch homered, went 4-for-5 and
drove in a career-high four runs as the Minnesota Twins rallied
for a 9-5 victory over the slumping Milwaukee Brewers, extending
their winning streak to a season-high four games.
Milwaukee has lost five straight games and has fallen two
games behind Seattle and Kansas City in the wild card chase.
In Boston, Tim Naehring recorded his third four-hit game of
the year and drove in three runs and Roger Clemens won his
fourth straight decision as the Boston Red Sox rolled to a 11-3
rout of the slumping California Angels in a battle between
division leaders.
Clemens (7-4) scattered 10 hits in 7 2/3 innings. He allowed
two earned runs, walked two and struck out nine.
The loss was the seventh in a row for the first-place Angels,
who leads Seattle by 6 1/2 games in the AL West.
