Cleveland's centerfielder Denny Walling had some reason to celebrate, as the league named him the American League Player of the Week. He hit .583 with 4 RBI and slugged .750 in 24 at bats. He got at least one hit each game this week and is on a 7 game hitting streak right now. Lance Parrish from San Francisco wins his 8th Player of the Week award for putting up the best numbers this week in the National League. He had an on base percentage of .455 and hit .429, while driving in 8 runs. He now has homered in 3 consecutive games as well! Lance has gone 38 for 116 (.328) this season, hitting 10 taters and driving in 24 runs. He has scored 22 runs on his own. He's 2nd in the National League in batting, 3rd in homeruns and 4th in RBI!
Saturday 5/7/1987: Julio Cruz collects 2000th hit against Baltimore
DETROIT - Detroit's Julio Cruz showed a smile on his face after he got his 2000th career hit against Baltimore on Saturday. His hit in the 1st inning was a two run homerun off Jim Gott. Along with his 2000 hits, Julio collected 106 homeruns and 727 RBI in 10 seasons. 'Baseball is a great game, and adding something to it's history is smething I've always wanted. What a great day!'
Friday 5/6/1987: Steve McCatty fires NO-NO against New York (N)
NEW YORK (N) - San Francisco's right-hander Steve McCatty made some history today, firing a no-hitter against New York (N). Their hitters found out the hard way that he is among the leagues top pitchers, never having a chance against his overpowering stuff. McCatty (4-0) struck out 4 and walked 6, throwing 63 of 120 pitches for strikes. 'They took some ugly cuts at my breaking stuff, so I kept throwing it. Fortunately they were not able to adjust in time.' Barry Bonds provided San Francisco with the offense McCatty needed as he finished 3 for 5, homering once, doubling once, scoring two runs with 2 RBI. San Francisco scored 8 runs on 11 hits.
Thursday 5/5/1987: Jack Morris shuts out St. Louis on 2 hits
PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia's right-hander Jack Morris is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking St. Louis on just 2 hits. It's his 1st shutout this season, and the 11th time he has done it in his career. Morris (2-1) struck out 8 and issued 1 BB, throwing 69 of 108 pitches for strikes. 'Things like that happen. You take the mound and everything works. My velocity was pretty good today and I guess it showed.' Philadelphia's second baseman Mike Gallego got 2 hits in 4 AB. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Morris. The final score of the game was 5-0.
Thursday 5/5/1987: Cleveland's Crews severely injured
CLEVELAND - When it rains, it pours. Cleveland's right-hander Tim Crews will not pitch for at least 5 weeks, handing the team a huge setback. He suffered a serious injury in a game against Minnesota where he left the field in the 7th inning. After being examined by several specialists the diagnosis is clear: Spasms Back. Opposing players hit .303 against Tim this season. While posting an ERA of 5.19 he went 1-0 in 0 starts, fanning 4 and walking 5 hitters.
Tuesday 5/3/1987: Roy Lee Jackson out for full season
TORONTO - Toronto's right-hander Roy Lee Jackson experienced probably the worst case scenario for a pitcher, a season ending injury. After pitching in the 9th inning of the game against Detroit, Jackson complained about serious pain in his throwing arm. He had to leave the game. After x-rays were taken the diagnosis did not surprise many: Torn Bicep Muscle. Surgery will be performed next week. Roy Lee has a record of 0-0 this season, with an ERA of 1.62. In 16.2 Innings he was able to strike out 12 batters.
