Now, with Clemens healthy and no longer a prospect, the Red Sox are riding the big right-hander’s blazing fastball to their first division championship since 1975. "He’s the best pitcher in the league, maybe the best in baseball,” Milwaukee Manager George Bam berger said Tuesday night after Clemens defeated the Brewers 2-1 for his 23rd victory of the season, tops in the major leagues. In 30 starts, the 24-year old Texan has a 23-4 record for a win ning percentage of .852. He also leads the league with 227 strikeouts and a 2.56 earned run average. “You can’t have a losing streak with a guy like that,” Bamberger said. The Red Sox agree. Clemens has won 13 games after a Boston defeat. He has failed to win after a loss only twice. “These guys are counting on me and I’m supposed to help the club win, stop losing streaks,” Clemens said. “I don’t like having to stop los ing streaks, but I know they have to be stopped.” Clemens also looks at his job as a personal challenge if he starts after the Red Sox have lost a game. “I pitch better when I’ve got something challenging me,” he said. “If something presents itself that is a little bit tougher, then I like that.” Stage Center Presents a Texas Melodrama...

Tekulve plans to extend NL mark PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Re liever Kent Tekulve, one of the most successful submarine-style pitchers, has passed Elroy Face for career mound appearances in the National League, and is looking to pad the re cord considerably. “I’m thinking about my next ap- pearance,” the 39-year-old Tekulve said after getting credit for the Phil adelphia Phillies’ 9-5 victory Tues day night over his former team mates, the Pittsburgh Pirates. The bespectacled Tekulve, who had 722 of his 847 appearances while pitching for the Pirates, came on with one out in the seventh in ning and blanked Pittsburgh for his 11th victory of the season. He needs only one more victory to tie his ca reer high, set in 1982. It was his 67th appearance this season. While his number of appearances are tops in the National League, Te kulve is far short of the major league mark, held by Hall of Earner Hoyt Wilhelm, who retired after making 1,070 pitching appearances for five NL teams and four in the American League. “I’m not thinking about that,” Te kulve said. “A thousand is a lot of ap pearances. Realistically, that would , take another three or more seasons.” The way the veteran Tekulve has pitched this season, he isn’t thinking about retirement. “It still hasn’t entered my mind,” he said. “This (record) is just some thing I’m passing through. It just happens to he one of the highlights of my career.” the run, vou do’i Rangers’ Incaviglia cracks two homers in downing A’s, 4-0 . rookie last year,Kti strong arm buiasl ity to maneuver kl id open receivers.
