LP- Hollingsworth (0-1)

The Browns had a 3-0 lead, but the Rangers kept inching closer and closer -- tied it, forced it to extra innings, as Todd Zeile delivers a walk-off two-run HR to win the ballgame at Arlington. Pudge Rodriguez' bat woke up a bit, as he got three hits in his first three at-bats (6 AB's for the day), including a solo HR; Lee Stevens added his 4th HR, as he is the third Ranger to reach 4 HR's (Palmerio has 8, Gonzalez has 4).

Rangers reliever Jeff Zimmerman has pitched 16 2/3 innings without giving up a run, allowing only 8 hits while striking out 12 batters.

The first time the 98' Yankees lost two games-in-a-row, as Mickey Mantle (of the 53' Yankees) went 2-for-3, with a three-run blast.

WP- Ojeda (3-1)

The two New York Mets franchises seem to have the 1906 Cubs' number, as the 69' Mets have already had a series split with the Cubbies (2-2) -- now the 86' Mets have a 2-1 series lead. Lenny Dykstra had half of the Mets' two hits, with 2 SB's, as the Cubs' Harry Steinfeldt hit a two-run HR.

The Pirates struck early with four runs in the bottom of the 2nd. All of the Bucs contributed except Willie Stargell, as Clemente went 2-for-4, RBI & Al Oliver who has been batting better of late, came in for a pinch-hit three-run HR.

Joe Medwick led the charge for the Cards, going 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, double & run. The Dodgers' Frank Howard went 2-for-4 with a solo HR, as Tommy Davis' solo HR in the 8th, cut the lead to 4-3 -- but the Cards would hold on.
