ARLINGTON — Although it looked bad for three
innings, the Cleveland Indians refused to knuckle
under to Charlie Hough.
Hough defeated the Indians 8-3 in the season open
er 10 days ago, and for three innings Tuesday night, the
34-year-old looked like he would repeat the effort.
The Texas knuckleballer retired the first 10 batters,
but with one out in the fourth inning, the Indians sud
denly ripped him for six straight hits and four runs.
By the time reliever Paul Mirabella ended the inning,
the Indians had a 6-0 lead and went on to take a 9-4
victory over the Rangers in the opener of a three-game
series.
Led by American League co-player of the week
Andre Thorton, who drove in three runs with a home
run and a double, the Indians stroked 14 hits off three
Texas pitchers.
The onslaught didn’t surprise Thorton, whose team
has averaged seven runs a game.
“We attacked him (Hough) the same way we did in
Cleveland. We are just hitting better, that’s the key. We
are playing better and hitting the ball,” said Thorton,
whose two-run homer, his fourth of the year, gave the

LOS ANGELES — The Los
Angeles Dodgers turned to their
favorite anti-slump formula
Tuesday night and the antidote
worked again.
Fernando Valenzuela pitch
ed a complete game and pulled
the Dodgers out of a six-game
losing streak, the longest they
had suffered since 1969.
“This was only my third
game, but I felt fine,” Valen
zuela said after the 10-2 victory
over Houston. “I was getting
men out and that’s what counts."
