Monday 4/25/1984: Oakland's Parrish wins Player of the Week award

Along the way he struck out 15 in 16 innings. He hurled a shutout as well.
Saturday 4/23/1984: Atlanta's Richards severely injured

Friday 4/22/1984: Terry Leach (KCR) will miss 5 weeks

The message shocked teammates and team officials. This season Leach compiled an ERA of 4.76, going 0-1 in 0 starts. He fanned 9 while giving up 11 hits in 11.1 innings.
Thursday 4/21/1984: Roy Smalley III on fire, hits for cycle
CHICAGO (N) - Chicago (N)'s shortstop Roy Smalley III once again displayed his tremendous ability to make contact with that little white ball. He tore up San Francisco's pitching staff with a 4 hit performance on Thursday. His 1st hit was a RBI double off Steve Shirley in the 2nd inning. A single in the 3rd off Steve Shirley accounted for his 2nd hit. His 3rd hit was a two-run triple off Dan Larson in the 7th inning. His 4th hit, off Pat Perry in the 9th inning, was a solo homerun and cleared the fence in left field. That drive completed the cycle, causing a smile on his face! Roy did drive in 5 while scoring 2 runs on his own. He is hitting .255 this season, with 2 HR and 9 RBI. He's now the 61st player in league history to hit for the cycle! Claudell Washington was the last player to hit for the cycle, doing it 7/30/1983.
Monday 4/18/1984: Tom Hall turns in great performance against Detroit
CALIFORNIA - Tom Hall took the mound and never left. And Detroit hitters couldn't touch him at all. California's left-hander gave up just one hit in his 1st shutout of the season. He now has 65 career shutouts in 532 games started. Hall (3-0) struck out 3 and issued 1 BB, throwing 59 of 96 pitches for strikes. 'Winning is the most important thing. And I gave my team all the support it needed!' Larvell Blanks provided California with the offense Hall needed as he finished with 2 hits in 4 AB, hitting a double. The final score of the game was 2-0.

was hoping he'd pass Mizell on wins list, but having 320 of them already is definitely satisfying. I think he should be widely considered one of the top 5 pitchers to ever play in this league.
