MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Brewers take 7th straight
A's stop Sox; Griffey, Martinez each go deep twice
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The pressure of a
winning streak can be almost as difficult as a
losing streak.
Teams that are winning, though, somehow find
"way to keep it going.
The Milwaukee Brewers rallied for four runs in
the eighth yesterday to beat Kansas City for their
seventh straight win, while sending the Royals to
iheir fifth straight loss and seventh in eight games.
"It was kind of a somber attitude on the bench
all day," said Jeff Cirillo, whose single drove in
:4e final run of the rally as the Brewers swept the
Royals in a four-game series for the first time ever.
-"It was kind of quiet. Then Kevin Seitzer gets a
fit. And (Hipolito Pichardo) throws high and tight
t Greg Vaughn. I think that kind of woke us up."
Pinch hitter Jesse Levis had a two-run single in
the rally.
"This is a real confidence booster for me," said
fevis. "Not playing every day, it gives me a
chance to show skip I can make some contact and
put the ball in play and drive in some runs. That
really helps me out a lot."
OAKLAND 6, CHICAGO WHITE Sox 5
Pinch-hitter Pedro Munoz doubled home the go-
ahead run in the seventh inning as the Oakland
Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox 6-5 yesterday
and stopped a four-game losing streak.
Frank Thomas, Chris Snopek and and Ron
Karkovice homered for the White Sox, who had
won three straight.
SEATTLE 9, TORONTO 5
Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez twice hit
consecutive home runs, leading Randy Johnson
and the Seattle Mariners past the Toronto Blue
Jays 9-5 yesterday.
Though not his usual, overpowering self,
Johnson (4-0) stopped a two-game Seattle losing
streak for the third time this year. He gave up four
runs, one of them unearned, in five innings and
struck out six.
Griffey hit a two-run homer in the second in-
ning and Martinez followed with a home run off
Erik Hanson (2-3).
TEXAS 9, BALTIMORE 6
Dean Palmer hit a grand slam and a two-run
homer yesterday, and the Texas Rangers over-
came another leadoff home run by Brady Ander-
son to beat the Baltimore Orioles 9-6 for a three-
game sweep.
Palmer's second two-homer game of the week-
end-he also did it Friday -and the second four-
hit game of his career kept the Rangers off to the
best start in club history and the best in the majors
at 13-4.
CLEVELAND 11, BOSTON 7
Carlos Baerga drove in five runs, matching
his career high, and Manny Ramirez homered
twice Sunday as the Cleveland Indians came
from behind to beat the reeling Boston Red Sox
11-7.
Cleveland, aided by nine walks, completed a
three-game sweep ofthe Red Sox and improved to
7-0 against them this season. Boston has lost 1I of
its last 12 games to fall to 3-15 for only the second
time in franchise history.
Clemens, who did not get the decision, is off
to the worst start of his career at 0-3 after five
starts. Reliever Brad Pennington (0-2) took the
loss.
NEW YORK YANKEES 9, MINNESOTA 5
Kenny Rogers, finally getting a chance to pitch for
his new team, held Minnesota hitless until the sixth
inning yesterday and ledthe New York Yankees past
the Twins 9-5.
Rogers (1-0) allowed only an infield hit, worked
around five walks and did not give up a run in 5 1-
3 innings of his Yankees debut.
Signed to a $20 million, four-year contract in
January, Rogers lost his spot in the rotation after
a poor showing in the exhibition season and began
the year in the bullpen.
Rogers did not work in relief and, after two
potential debuts were postponed because of bad
weather, was sent to Florida to pitch April 12 in an
extended spring training game.
Rogers left after an infield hit by Chuck
Knoblauch with one out in the sixth and a walk ran
his pitch count to 85.
