Sox Shock Tribe

GAME ONE -- Wilson Alvarez (1-2) allowed just a pair of Indians runs in 7.2 innings of work and Robin Ventura highlighted a 3-run 7th with a 2-run double. The White Sox won just their second game of this KOD23 season, 4-2. Magglio Ordonez banged out 3 hits for the winners. Dave Justice collected 3 hits in a losing effort.

GAME TWO -- Bartolo Colon (2-0) pitched 8 very strong innings, allowing only 2 runs and 4 hits and every Cleveland player had at least 1 hit in a 10-4 clubbing of the ChiSox. Justice again led the club with 3 safties. Albert Belle (3) and Carlos Baerga (2) hit long ones. Frank Thomas (3,4) crushed 2 homers for the Sox.

GAME THREE -- Alex Fernandez (1-3), Neal Cotts and Roberto Hernandez combined on an improbable 6-hit shut out against a very powerful Indians offense. Ventura collected 2 more RBI as Chicago won 6-0.

Dodgers take 2 of 3 from Spos

GAME 1 - Stade Olympique
Rogers vs Osteen
Expos 2, Dodgers 0

Steve Rogers (3-0, 1.90) fired 8 innings of shutout ball before handing it over to the pen.  With 2 out in the 9th reliever Woodie Fryman walked Bill Grabarkewitz then served up a single to pinch hitter Wes Parker.  Manger Pester had seen enough and brought in Jeff Reardon to face PH Dusty Baker.  The man with the beard got the K and saved the ballgame.

GAME 2
Sutton vs Hesketh
Dodgers 4, Expos 3

Dusty Baker and Davey Lopes went an identical 2-4 with 2 RBI's to pace a Dodger offense that needed to rebound from being shutout the night before.  Don Sutton (2-1, 1.59) went 8 and gave up 3.  Jim Brewer pitched a scoreless 9th to grab the save.

GAME 3 - Dodger Stadium
Renko vs Singer
Dodgers 13, Expos 1

After two close contests the rubber match turned out to be a blowout.  The Dodgers dropped a 5 spot on Steve Renko and the Expos in the bottom of the first and never looked back.  Most important for the men from La-La land was the fact that they finally got an ace-like performance from Bill Singer (1-1, 5.40).  Singer gave up 1 run in a complete game effort.  Willie Davis and Mike Scioscia both had 3 hit games.  Bill Russell was the only one in the lineup without a hit.  Davis' leadoff homer started the ball rolling as LA never looked back.
