San Francisco (11-12) / Chicago (15-8)
The up-and-down Giants can play with anybody when they are on top of their game, but have a difficult time winning without Robby Thompson in the lineup; Thompson is on his second stint on the disabled list already in this young season. Meanwhile, the White Sox are one of the league's hottest teams, after a 3-5 start to the season, the team has won 12 of their last 15 games! Chick Gandil keeps defying the odds, batting .402 this season with 22 RBI's through 82 at-bats (in the 6th spot of the lineup).
The White Sox also have the league's best scoring differential at +52 (15 more than 2nd best 1929 Cubs).

Albert Belle keeps plugging away at his mammoth season, hitting two more HR's to add to his grand total of 16 HR's & 30 RBI in just 23 games -- a pretty comfortable lead in both major categories, and has lifted his batting average up to .277 for the season. Belle also has a 1.270 OPS (.892 Slugging percentage)!

The Cubs have not found a way to take advantage when the Crawfords do lose, the Cubs once again lost to the Expos on a night that the Crawfords lost to the 1993 Phillies -- so no movement in the standings once again. For the Expos, Andre Dawson was clutch, hitting a three-run HR during the top of the 8th, as the Expos kept the Cubbies quiet. Tim Wallach & John Milner each hit solo HR's.

A battle between two frustrated teams, the Mets once again blow a late lead (which has been their story all season long), this time by the usually calm & collective Jesse Orosco, who gave up a walk-off three-run HR to Al Rosen in the 10th! The Mets had a very tough schedule at the beginning of the season, but have yet to get on a roll. The good news is that the 1984 Tigers & 1977 Phillies continue to lose as of late, and even though the Mets are in dead-last, they are only 6 games out of first -- which means plenty of time.
Jesse Orosco entered the game, a perfect 5 for 5 in save opportunities.

The Phillies win their 4th game in a five-game stretch, as the team keeps improving -- while the Crawfords have lost two straight for only the second time this season (last time was also at the hands of another Pennsylvania team, the 1971 Pirates). The Phillies won with timely hitting, as all 12 of their hits, were all singles. Tommy Greene held the Crawfords to three hits & a run in six innings of work.

Duke Snider had a two-run double & Carl Furillo hit a solo HR, as Billy Loes held off the Phillies' sluggers with one run allowed in 5 1/3 innings, plus 5 K's.
