The Baltimore Orioles toppled the Tampa Bay Rays by a 8 to 4 score at
Tropicana Field.

Baltimore tallied 6 runs in the 4th inning with the help of 5 hits. The key at-bat was by Frank Robinson who helped quiet the crowd when he belted a three-run homer (his 3rd). Tampa Bay had 11 hits in the game while Baltimore had 8, but Baltimore had the more timely hits, including 3 home runs (Chris Hoiles (4th) and Melvin Mora (1st), in addition to F. Robinson).

The win was credited to Jim Palmer(1-1) who went 7 innings allowing 4 runs (all on homeruns by John Flaherty (1st) and Fred McGriff (2nd)).
Scott Kazmir(0-2) ended up with the loss. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs on 5 hits (2 homers) and 5 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings.

More bad news for the Rays-Grant Balfour was placed on the 15 day DL with a strained forearm after the game. Rays skipper Joe Maddon had no word at the post game press conference on Balfour's replacement, but did state that an announcement would be forthcoming tomorrow. He also added "in this division, we can't keep this up or we'll be buried by the end of April".

At Citizen's Bank Park the Pittsburgh Pirates outscored the ice-cold
Philadelphia Phillies 7 to 4.

Roberto Clemente had a big day with his bat. He tripled plating a run in the 2nd inning and lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 3rd of the season) in the 4th inning. Dave Giusti was perfect in relief in the ninth inning and gained credit for his 2nd save.

The victory was credited to Vern Law(1-1) who went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs. Steve Carlton(0-2) was charged with the loss. He was touched for 3 homeruns (Ralph Kiner (1st) and Craig Wilson (2nd), in addition to Clemente) in his 8 innings of work.

Anaheim Angels by the count of 6 to 4.

Anaheim lost it in the 2nd inning when Boston did all their damage when they scored 6 runs on 4 hits. That was all Cy Young(2-0) needed. Jonathan
Papelbon earned the save with a perfect ninth, his 2nd save.

Dean Chance(1-1) took the loss. He pitched 1 and 2/3 innings giving up 6 runs on 3 hits (one a HR by Carl Yastrzemski, his 3rd) and 3 walks.

WEB GEMS- Top 3rd: Bullet Joe Rogan robbed Carlos Beltran of a base hit.

Second baseman Edgardo Alfonzo slammed a homerun and had 3 RBI and Tom Seaver hurled a shutout with 10 strikeouts as the New York Mets man-handled the Birmingham Barons - the final score was 13 to 0.

The Mets ran rogshod over the Barons by producing with men in scoring position-New York went 6 for 14 and plated three other runs on bases loaded walks or sac flies, while Birmingham went 0 for 9, five of them being inning ending strikeouts.

The Mets began their Baron bashing in the third. Seaver drew a walk, and then Alfonzo followed with his fourth homerun of the year to give New York a 2-0 lead. The Mets continued their scoring in the fifth. Seaver again started the rally with a leadoff double. After Bullet Joe Rogan retired the next two batters, Darryl Strawberry doubled as Willard Brown's attempt at a wall catch was ruled a trap by umpire Jeff Kellogg. An intentional walk to Carlos Beltran followed, but David Wright burned the Barons by singling to right to drive in the fourth Met run.

The Mets put the Barons out of their misery in the eighth. David Wright led off with a single, then Todd Hundley was hit by a pitch. Jose Reyes drew a walk, ending Rogan's night. Tom Williams came on to relieve. He struck out Endy Chavez, but Seaver then burned Williams with his second double of the game to drive in two. Alfonzo singled to drive in another run. Williams then lost control of the plate, walking Keith Hernandez, Strawberry and Beltran in succession, the latter two forcing in two more runs. Wright then added his second hit of the inning to drive in two more runs. Martin Dihigo came on to relieve Williams, and Reyes ended the carnage with a sacrifice fly for the ninth Met run of the inning and the final 13-0 margin of victory.

Seaver(2-0) put on a good performance with clutch pitching, getting half of his 10 strikeouts to end innings-all with men in scoring position. He allowed no runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 5.40 to 2.30. New York finished with 12 hits in the victory.

Rogan(1-1) was given the loss. He gave up 7 runs on 8 hits and 5 walks in 7 innings. Williams was even worse, allowing 6 runs in just 1/3 of an inning on 3 hits and 3 walks. Dihigo was the only Baron pitcher not to be charged with a run, as he tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings.

Seaver was pleased with his performance. He noted, 'I had good command of all my pitches. Just as important, my location was right on-especially when I really needed it. I also liked the fact I was able to help myself today-I take pride in being a complete player, not just a pitcher'. Mets skipper Bobby Valentine was effusive in his praise for his ace, stating "My idea of managing is handing the ball to #41 and watching him work. After today, I may have to keep Tom available as a pinch hitter too".

The Barons locker room was not all gloom and doom though-Rogan had nothing but praise for his counterpart, stating, "That's the way to do it-throw a shutout and get some hits. I didn't have it today but maybe next time out I'll do the same thing". Batterymate Josh Gibson, who extended his hitting streak to all 6 games so far this season, added, "I guess that's why they call them the Amazins-they are on a roll now. I just hope someone, if not us, can stop them before their momentum turns into a runaway boulder and the NL East race becomes a fruitless chase".

Center fielder Hack Wilson went deep at Minute Maid Field as the Chicago Cubs beat the Houston Astros by the count of 3 to 1.

Dick Ellsworth(1-0) earned his pay with a solid performance for Chicago. He allowed 7 hits and 5 walks in 6 and 1/3 innings. Houston stranded 11 runners on base as they failed countless times to bring runners home. Ellsworth got relief help from Lee Smith who was awesome in relief and gained credit for his 3rd save by striking out the side in the 9th.

Roy Oswalt(0-1) suffered the loss. 'I was a little good, a little bad and a little ugly.' said Ellsworth, 'I was just giving us a chance to win.'

Left fielder Stan Musial had 3 base hits and 5 RBI as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Colorado Rockies 7 to 5 at Coors Field.

St. Louis had the game winning rally in the 9th inning with 2 runs on 4 hits. After an out was recorded, Willie McGee got things rolling when he delivered a single. McGee swiped second base. Ozzie Smith then laced a one-base hit, but Larry Walker threw out McGee at the plate, preserving the 5-5 tie for the moment. Smith took second on the throw. A balk was called with Rogers Hornsby batting, advancing "the Wizard of Oz" to third. Hornsby stepped back into the box and slapped a single to give the Cards the lead. Musial kept the rally going and tripled in Hornsby for his 5th RBI of the day. St. Louis finished with 14 hits in the victory.

Bruce Sutter(1-0) picked up the victory despite helping blow a 5-0 lead in the 8th inning, allowing 2 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Sutter got relief help from Lindy McDaniel, Steve Kline and Jason Isringhausen as "Izzy" gained credit for his 1st save. Steve Reed(0-1) was hit with the loss in relief.

Left fielder Rusty Greer had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at Jacobs Field where the Texas Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 3 to 1.

Texas scored 2 runs in the 7th inning. Dean Palmer opened up the inning
nicely when he lashed a single. Ivan Rodriguez stepped into the batter's box and he grounded into a double play. Julio Franco then drew a walk. Toby Harrah followed and he drew a walk as well. Greer stepped into the box and doubled to break the 1-1 tie.

Cleveland threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short against Jeff Russell. In addition, Manny Ramirez strained his side muscle lining out in the second inning and was placed on the 15 day diasbled list after the game.

Jeff Zimmerman(1-0) went 1 and 1/3 innings allowing no runs for the victory in relief. Russell was credited with his 2nd save. Bob Lemon(0-1) absorbed the loss for Cleveland.
