Monday 8/22/1998: Hamilton and Rolen win Player of the Week award
The Player of the Week award in the American League goes to Oakland's Joey Hamilton this time, as the pitcher displayed the best pitching perfomance in his league. He was in a zone all week, compiling an ERA of 1.08 while going 2-0. He hurled a shutout as well. Philadelphia's third baseman Scott Rolen had some reason to celebrate as well, as the league named him the National League Player of the Week. In 29 at bats he hit .483 with 3 HR and 10 RBI.
Thursday 8/18/1998: Randy Tomlin (NYM) will miss 6 weeks
NEW YORK (N) - New York (N) is without its southpaw Randy Tomlin for at least 6 weeks. He injured himself while throwing a pitch to Doug Jennings in a game against Arizona. His face showed signs of pain immediately after the ball left his hand. After being taken to a local hospital, Tomlin was examined by specialists. The diagnosis revealed the sad truth, a Torn Bicep Muscle. His ERA of 4.20 helped him to a 8-9 record this year. He struck out 131 and walked 33 in 158.2 innings.
