MICHAEL BELINDA HEATHER TONI GAI Raines, ChiSox club Red Sox as Chicago’s lead-off man homers three times, drives in 5 The Associated Press BOSTON — Tim Raines hit three homers and Wilson Alvarez won his 1 1 tli straight decision as the Chicago White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 12-1 today. Raines hit solo homers leading off the first and third innings and a two-run drive in the eighth. He scored five runs and drove in four. Frank Thomas also home- red for the White Sox, his sixth of the season. Joey Cora had a three-run triple after Danny Darwin (2- 1) walked the bases loaded in the fourth. Chicago added three runs in the seventh and four in the eighth on the homers by Raines and Thomas.’ Alvarez (3-0), who held the Red Sox to one run and four hits in six-plus innings, hasn’t lost since last Aug. 11. He won his final seven de cisions last season, defeated Toronto in the AL playoffs and has allowed just five earned runs in three starts this season. ( Moon: Goodbye to Oilers, hello to Minnesota Vikings The Associated Press HOUSTON — Warren Moon, flanked.by. his family and aggnt, said goodbye to his Houston Oilers ties on Monday, choosing to talk about his fans instead of his detrac tors. It was a clean break, with no bitterness showing through. “This is a day 1 thought would never happen so soon, hut a day that’s become reality,” Moon said. “This is my final day as a Houston Oiler and my first day as a Min nesota Viking officially.” Moon was traded along with Ills $3.25 million salary to the Vikings last week for a fourth-round pick this year and a conditional third- round choice in 1995. “OneThing Twanted to acixflfii-'' plish here was to get this teafh ip be a winner and we got that done," Moon said. “I wanted to become entrenched in the community and we ^ot* that done. Another thing was to win a championship, and we didn’t get that but maybe the Oilers can still get it. My efforts from now on will be with the Minnesota Vikings.” Moon said he knew his depar ture was a business decision brought on by the NFL’s salary cap. "Economics play a big role in what goes on in sports and players get caught up in business deci sions,” Moon said. "I’m just lucky that I got artflther opportunity.” Moon became a focal point of criticism when the Oilers reached the playoffs seven straight years but never got past the second round. Houston won only three playoff games in Moon’s 10 years with the Oilers. His wife, Felicia, has told of racial slurs directed to her during games. "There are bad apples every where,” Moon said. ‘ If I do some things they don’t like up there, I’m sure I’ll hear that too. I do know that 1 got more support than nega tive stuff here.” Moon said angry fans were tougher on his family than on him. ‘ People aren’t going to walk up to me and say stuff because they don’t have the nerve to do that,' Moon said. “It’s been tough on my wife and family.” Leigh Steinberg, Moon’s agent, said Moon’s contract with the Vikings was for two years, but Moon declined to say that would be the end of his career. "I never dreamed Td still be playing,” Moon said. “Who knows how long I’ll be able to play after this contract is over.” Gu BREITLING 1884 Instruments for Professionals jjS! YOUR FUTURE IS WAITING.
