Clemens keeps Sox winning
BOSTON (AP) — One year ago,
with young prospect Roger Clemens
recovering from shoulder surgery,
the Boston Red Sox were en route to
a fifth-place finish in the American
League East, 18'/a games behind
champion Toronto.
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.”

H“I’d say we’ve been nonproduc
tive,” Reds player-manager Pete
Rose said. “We’re just not hitting.
Bien you get (no more than) five
hits two games in a row, you're not
going to win many games.”
■Cruz snapped a scoreless tie with
his two-run homer in the fourth in-
niig ofl Welsh, 6-7, and added a
three-run homer in the eighth.

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.”
