Saturday 4/23/1993: Mike Jeffcoat pitches 2-hit shutout against Minnesota
MINNESOTA - Great days are rare. But not for California's southpaw Mike Jeffcoat. Minnesota found out the hard way that he is among the leagues top pitchers, getting just 2 hits. It's his 1st shutout this season, and the 18th time he has done it in his career. 'I felt early that I was on top of my game. Fortunately I was able to keep that feeling the entire game.' Jeffcoat (2-2) struck out 4 and issued 2 BB, throwing 63 of 104 pitches for strikes. Ken Griffey Jr. helped Jeffcoat at the plate, he finished with 2 hits in 4 AB, stroking a double. California improved its record to 11-6, scoring 2 runs on 8 hits.
Friday 4/22/1993: San Diego's Tim Raines Sr. slams three taters
CHICAGO (N) - Hitting a homerun is fine, but hitting three of them in one game is something special. San Diego's shortstop Tim Raines Sr. accomplished that feat in a 8-6 win over Chicago (N). A 440 foot drive to right-center marked his 1st bomb, a solo homerun off Scott Sanderson in the 4th inning. A pitch from Rich Monteleone in the 10th inning left his bat for a two-run homerun, landing 429 feet from home plate in left field. His 3rd shot, off Jeff Parrett in the 11th inning, was a two-run homerun and cleared the fence in left-center. Overall he collected 3 hits in 6 trips to the plate, scoring FOUR times and driving in 5 runs. In 8037 career at bats, he has hit 331 homeruns and collected 1129 RBI. The induction into the Hall of Fame is almost a sure thing for him now!
Thursday 4/21/1993: San Diego's Viola out for 7-8 weeks
SAN DIEGO - San Diego is without its left-hander Frank Viola for at least 7-8 weeks. He injured himself while throwing a pitch to Willie Upshaw in a game against Cincinnati. His face showed signs of pain immediately after the ball left his hand. Herniated Disc Back was the diagnosis after x-rays were taken in a nearby hospital. The message shocked teammates and team officials. In 3 starts this year Frank struck out 7 batters in 17 innings of work. His ERA is 5.29, his record 1-0.
