LOS ANGELES — Dodgers
catcher Steve Yeager says it was
just a lucky break.
“I wasn’t thinking home
run,” he said Wednesday night
af ter fie hit a two-run homer in
the 14th inning to clinch a 5-3
Dodger victory over the winless
Houston Astros.
“I was looking for a certain
pitch with first base open,” he
said. “(Houston pitcher Frank
LaCorte) made a mistake and I
was lucky to capitalize on it. I hit
it as hard as I could and I was
glad it went over the fence.”
Houston has dropped nine
straight games to tie the Nation
al League record for losses at the
start of a season held by three
clubs, the last being the 1962
New York Mets.

we were in the game all the way
but still lost it,” Houston mana
ger Bob Lillis said. “I’m sure out-
luck will change before long.”
With two out in the 14th, Der-
rell Thomas doubled to right
field before Yeager hit a 1-0
pitch into the right-field stands

CLEVELAND — Mike Hargrove decided to
come out swinging.
Hargrove, an ex-Ranger who struck out in his
first two at-bats against Texas starter Charlie
Hough, banged out a pair of doubles and stored
the winning run in the seventh inning of Cleve
land’s 4-3 victory over the Rangers Wednesday.
“Hough has a nasty knuckleball, and the only
way to hit him is to keep swinging,” I largrove said.
“I didn’t even swing die bat in my second strike
out, and 1 really hated that. It wasn't .is nerve-
racking when 1 hit against (reliever) Mike Mason
in the seventh.”
Mason, a rookie left-hander, took over for
Hough in the seventh with the Rangers leading
3-2 and walked leadof f man Chris Bando. Bando
took second on a sacrifice hunt In Julio Franco
and scored on Hargrove's double down the lirst-
base line. Hargrove then scored the winning run
on Bake McBride’s bloop single to left.
Hargrove drilled a leadoff double in the fifth
inning against Hough.
“You can’t he timid against a guv that makes the
ball dance," Hargrove said. "He threw me a last-
ball, and I just guessed tight. He (Hough) also
threw me a screwball that dropped two feet."
