16A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 7, 1999 Fryman brings home run for Cleveland win CLEVELAND (AP) - On a gimpy knee that almost prevented him from playing in October, Travis Fryman finally helped the Indians' run away from their Game 1 postsea- son jinx. Fryman's RBI single with one-out in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Cleveland a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox, who may have lost Pedro Martinez for the remainder of the AL playoffs. The Indians had lost eight straight series opening games, dating back to the division series against Boston in 1995 before Fryman's clutch bases-loaded base hit. Martinez, baseball's most domi- nant pitcher this season, pulled a back muscle in the fourth inning and had to leave the game. He is listed as day-to-day and Boston manager Jimy Williams said the right-hander would be re-examined by doctors on Thursday. "We got a break with Pedro get- ting hurt," said Fryman, who spent most of the season on the disabled list with a serious knee injury. "Anytime you face Pedro, he's tough. He's the best pitcher I ever faced. You look up there in the sixth inning and you don't see him out there, it gives you a little pick-me- up. The Red Sox, who had counted on Martinez giving them the lead in the series, will turn to Bret Saberhagen in Game 2 Thursday against Cleveland's Charles Nagy. Indians starter Bartolo Colon struck out a season-high 1 l in eight innings, and Paul Shuey picked up the win with a perfect ninth. cimpl e nt ZS Associates is a global management consulting firm providing world-class expertise in salesforce management and marketing issues. AP PHOTI Atlanta pitcher Kevin Millwood allowed only one hit In the Braves 51 win over the Astros. Ths Braves win ties the series at one apiece. Miliwood throws one; hitter; Braves win 5-1 PRESENTATION October 7th, 6:00 pm Business School " D1270 Hale ZS will be at University of Michigan recruiting: Operations Research Analysts ATLANTA (AP) -The Braves must be wondering why they didn't use Kevin Millwood in the last two postsea- sons. Showing that he's now the best starter on a staff filled with Cy Young winners, Millwood threw the first post- season one-hitter by one pitcher in 32 years to give the Braves a critical 5-I victory over the Houston Astros yester- day evening their first-round series at one game apiece. "I was a little nervous before the game," Millwood said. "But once I was on the mound, it was just like any other start." The 24-year-old Millwood, who allowed a second-inning home run to Ken Caminiti - stepped up this season while Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz - with seven Cy Youngs among them - went through assorted struggles. It was the first complete game one- hitter in the postseason since Game 2 of the 1967 World Series, when Boston's Jim Lonborg beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0, allowing a double to Julian Javier with two outs in the eighth. Tom Glavine and Mark Wohlers combined on a one-hitter for the Braves against Cleveland in Game 6 of the 1995 World Series. "You don't throw a one-hitter every day," Millwood said. "It was a lot of fun. Everything was working. My fast, ball was good. My curveball was good' My slider was good." With the Braves ina virtual must-win situation after losing the first game 6-1 Tuesday, Millwood shut down tI7*g Astros, retiring 15 in a row after Caminiti's homer. The streak was broken when third baseman Chipper Jones booted a grounder with one out in the seventh, but the error didn't bother his pitcher. Millwood got the next two batters onf grounders. The Braves broke open a 2' game with threeruns in the bottom half on Brian Jordan's sacrifice fly and run- scoring singles by Ryan Klesko an Andruw Jones. Millwood, 18-7 during the regular season, didn't pitch at all the last two postseasons while the Braves were knocked out in the NL championship series - even though he won 17 games in 1998. The best-of-5 series shifts to the Astrodome, where the next two games will be played Friday and Saturday. If a fifth game is needed, it would be Turner Field on Sunday. Jordan and Klesko flip-flopped in the batting order, a move that paid off with, two RBIs from Jordan, hitting fourth instead of fifth.
