Sunday 7/24/1998: Mike York pitches 1-hit shutout against Houston
COLORADO - Colorado's right-hander Mike York is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Houston found out the hard way, getting just one hit. York 2nd shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 2nd shutouts in his career. 'Wow, what a nice day. I guess I had a good breakfast today.' York (6-8) was overpowering, fanning 10 while walking 3, throwing 118 pitches. Tim Naehring provided Colorado with the offense York needed as he stroked 3 hits in 4 AB, hitting a double, scoring twice and collecting 4 RBI. Colorado improved its record to 45-53, scoring 16 runs on 14 hits.
Sunday 7/24/1998: It's NO-NO time for Ron Robinson against Seattle

He now has 22 career shutouts in 430 games started. Robinson (6-3) struck out 5 and issued 1 BB, throwing 71 of 108 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.' Detroit's leftfielder Albert Belle got 4 hits in 6 AB, hitting two dingers, scoring three times and collecting 4 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Robinson. Detroit scored 17 runs on 19 hits.
