Thursday 6/23/1996: Ellis Burks parks three against Seattle
SEATTLE - Ellis Burks was in a groove, and the results spoke for themselves. He powered Cleveland to a 12-5 win over Seattle by homering three times. His 1st shot, a three-run homerun off Eric Hetzel in the 1st inning, cleared the fence in right field. A 369 foot drive to left field marked his 2nd bomb, a three-run homerun off Dave Veres in the 7th inning. Number 3 in the 8th inning, a shot estimated at 441 feet, cleared the wall in center field.

Wednesday 6/22/1996: Kent Bottenfield turns in great performance against Los Angeles (N)
CINCINNATI - Cincinnati's right-hander Kent Bottenfield is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Los Angeles (N) found out the hard way, getting just one hit. Bottenfield 2nd shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 2nd shutouts in his career. 'Giving my team a chance to win is the most important thing for me. I was able to do it today.' Bottenfield (5-6) fanned 9 and walked 1, throwing 114 pitches. Cincinnati's centerfielder Tim Salmon got 2 hits in 3 AB. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Bottenfield. Cincinnati improved its record to 33-38, scoring 2 runs on 8 hits.
