Rangers, Canseco rock Tigers, 6-5
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — It doesn't matter
what uniform he's wearing. Jose
Canseco just flat out likes to hit in
Tiger Stadium, and the tale of the
tape proves it.
Canseco homered onto the left-
field roof and Rafael Palmeiro and
Dean Palmer also connected as the
Texas Rangers beat the Detroit
Tigers 6-5 Tuesday night.
Canseco led off the ninth with a
drive that was measured at 434
feet. His 26th home run of the sea
son was his fourth in 11 games for
Texas.
"When he's healthy, he's just’
like Cecil (Fielder)/' Tony Phillips
said. "That's all they want him to
do. Jose, Cecil and Mark McGwire
are in a league of their own."
When he was a rookie with the
Oakland Athletics, Canseco hit
one even farther in Tiger Stadium.
It was a line shot that landed well
up in an aisle in the second-deck
bleachers, to the right of the flag
pole. The center-field fence is 440
feet from the plate in Detroit.
"I've always considered this
ballpark a good hitters' ballpark,"
Canseco said. "For one thing, it's
not too deep.
"But, for me, hitting the homer
wasn't too exciting. What was ex
citing was finally getting the bat
on the ball. I mean, I was 0 for 2
with two strikeouts (and two
walks) at that point. I wanted to
say to the catcher, 'Can I make
contact now, can I make contact
now?"'
Canseco was batting third in
the Rangers' lineup, behind
Palmeiro.
"I tell Raffy to be aggressive,"
Canseco said. "I tell him not to
take a ball on 2-0 count if he
doesn't want to. I say, 'If you see a
2-0 pitch you like, crush it.'"
Palmeiro, who has gone 10 for
20 in the last six games, broke a 3-
all tie with an RBI single off Bill
Gullickson (14-11) in the seventh.
Palmeiro had three hits, including
his 18th homer, and drove in three
runs.
"It's nice to be hitting ahead of
Jose," Palmeiro said. "He's fun to
watch."
Dean Palmer hit his 25th
homer, a solo shot, in the third in
ning.
Palmer doubled and scored on
Jeff Frye's double in the eighth.
Travis Fryman hit his 20th homer,
off reliever Todd Burns, in the De
troit eighth and added an RBI sin
gle in the ninth.
Jose Guzman (14-11) allowed
five hits in seven innings. He
struck out six and walked three.
Matt Whiteside went 1 2-3 innings
for his first major league save, ex
tending a remarkable string.
Whiteside, who was purchased
from the Rangers' Triple-A farm
club at Oklahoma City, hasn't
blown a save all season.
He started the season at Dou-
ble-A Tulsa, where he was perfect
in 21 save situations, then convert
ed all eight opportunities at Okla
homa City before he was called
up.
"I've had that in the back of my
mind, to give him an opportunity
to save a game up here," Texas
manager Toby Harrah said. "He
was pretty excited about it. Here's
a kid that goes 21-for-21 in Dou-
ble-A and 8-for-8 in Triple-A. He
deserved a chance up here to see
what he can do."
The score was tied at 3 when
Frye started the Texas seventh
with a single. Monty Fariss fol
lowed with a line drive that Gul
lickson knocked down, and threw
to first for an out, and Palmeiro
singled home the go-ahead run.
Late comeback propels Houston
Bagwell's homerun in 11th completes Astros' rally over Giants
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON - Jeff Bagwell's
three-run homer in the 11th inning
was his fifth hit of the game and
helped the Houston Astros over
come a five-run deficit to beat the
San Francisco Giants 9-6 Tuesday
night.
Bagwell's 15th homer, a two-
out shot to center off reliever
Steve Reed, followed consecutive
singles by Steve Finley and Luis
Gonzalez allowed by loser Dave
Righetti (2-6).
Bagwell was 5 for 6 for game
and became the first Houston
player with five hits since Billy
Rockets' sale
talks continue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Rockets owner
Charlie Thomas' counterproposal
to prospective buyer John Moores
reportedly has left the two sides
far apart in sale negotiations.
Last week, Thomas received a
bid from Moores to buy control
ling interest in the Rockets for be
tween $60 million and $70 mil
lion. Thomas submitted his coun
teroffer over the weekend.
Although a dollar figure for
Thomas' offer has not been re
leased, the two proposals report
edly are far apart.
In 1990, Thomas set his price at
$100 million. But there is specula
tion he would accept an offer be
tween $80 and $90 million.
Moores, who lives in nearby
Sugar Land, is estimated to be
worth $270 million and has been
listed as one of the richest people
in Texas.
Hatcher on May 20, 1988, against
St. Louis. Bagwell surpassed his
career high of four hits, which he's
accomplished four times.
Doug Jones (9-8) worked three
innings, allowing a run on two
hits, for the victory.
Finley hit a homer for Houston,
his fourth, in the ninth inning off
Rod Beck to tie it at 6.
The Giants took a 6-5 in the top
of the inning on Darren Lewis's
RBI single.
San Francisco went up 3-0 in
the first on Matt Williams 19th
home run. Felder walked and
Willie McGee singled before
Williams' home run.
The Giants added two more
runs in the second when McGee
walked and moved to second
when first baseman Bagwell mis
handled Clark's grounder. Mark
Leonard doubled in drive in both
runners.
Houston scored twice in the
second after Bagwell singled and
then scored on a hit by Casey Can-
daele. Eddie Taubensee doubled
in Candaele.
The Astros tied it in the third
on Bagwell's RBI double and Ken
Caminiti's two-run single.
The win puts the Astros closer
to .500 with a record of 69-76, 19
games behind Atlanta.

another chance to host an event
sanctioned by the likes of
NASCAR.
Anybody who thinks that an
auto race sounds more boring
than staying home and flea-dip
ping the dog must not have seen
a real race before.
The sights, sounds, smells
and other sensations are as daz
zling as any found anywhere
else on the planet. And that's
just the girls in bikini tops. To
give equal time to all, there will
be plenty of muscle shirts and
cut-offs as well.
Sure, the racing is great at the
head of the field, but don't al
ways watch the lead cars be
cause some of the best racing
happens back in the "pack".
But the real reason to go to a
race is to see and be seen. If you
have already found that some
one special, take him or her to
the race and show off while you
take in the fantastic ambiance
that only race cars can provide.
After all, there's just some
thing fundamentally American
about watching a bunch of
Southerners named Dick and
Eddie race around in circles
burning petroleum products to
wretched excess while the Play
boy model look-alike sitting
next to you rubs basically the
same thing all over her body to
get that perfect tan.
If you can add a Budweiser
and a slab of pork ribs into the
mix you've probably discovered
the meaning of life, or at least
what it means to be a citizen of
the South.
And if you're not into seeing
and being seen, Dixie lifestyles,
and eating red meat, so much
the better. Just bring your own
tofu and granola and watch the
race because you won't be dis
appointed.
there is one great specialty store.
