Wednesday 7/27/1999: Paul Wagner pitches his 2nd shutout of the season
PITTSBURGH - Paul Wagner took the mound and never left. And Houston hitters couldn't touch him at all. Pittsburgh's right-hander gave up just one hit in his 2nd shutout of the season. He now has 7 career shutouts in 159 games started. Wagner (9-9) struck out 7 and walked 3, throwing 71 of 114 pitches for strikes. 'I had my stuff going. Everything I tried worked. What a day!' Richie Sexson helped Wagner at the plate, he finished with 3 hits in 4 AB, hitting two dingers, with three runs scored and driving in 5 runs.

Wednesday 7/27/1999: Huge blow for California's Sauerbeck, career over

He complained about pain after throwing a pitch to Alex Ochoa, then suddenly collapsed. Sauerbeck was rushed to an hospital near the ballpark, where doctors took x-rays. Those revealed the serious injury, Torn Bicep Muscle. Opposing players hit .200 against Scott this season. While posting an ERA of 5.58 he went 3-2 in 0 starts, fanning 33 and walking 21 hitters. His career featured a record of 13-5 with an ERA of 4.97. Baseball will certainly miss this great player.
