Fassero, trying to work his way into the Texas rotation, had his first start for the Rangers postponed by rain last night. "I've been looking forward to it, so it doesn't matter if it's put back another day," Fassero said.

"You can't control the weather. I just want to get things going in the right direction." Rick Helling (12-7) will start the first game today for Texas against Jim Parque (9-11).

By MAURICE PATT0N Sports Writer MEMPHIS Heading into last night's game, the Nashville Sounds had no room for error with regards to their postseason aspirations. Many errors were made, however, as the Sounds fell to the Memphis Redbirds 11-6 and were eliminated from playoff contentioa The loss, combined with Oklahoma's 6-1 win against Omaha earlier in the day, clinched the Pacific Coast League East Division championship for the Red-Hawks.

Oklahoma will play host to Omaha in the first two games of the league semifinals beginning tomorrow. "I think everybody was ready to go, but the hops didn't go our way," Sounds Manager Trent Jewett said. "Things went awry. But the last thing you want to do is point fingers." Memphis broke the game open with a four-run third inning against Nashville starter Bob Mi-lacki (6-8), right after Mi-lacki pulled up short of second on Chad Hermansen's apparent two-out base hit in the top of the inning. Mi-lacki was forced out to end the threat, and the Sounds managed little else against Memphis starter Chad Hutchinson (2-0).

"Bobby didn't have his good stuff," said catcher Tim Laker, who continued his torrid series against the Redbirds with a solo homer in a five-run ninth. "They got some breaks and made the most of what they got, and Hutchinson was tough. He got a big lead, and he kept going after guys."

Reed; First, Everilt; Sec 3 3 3 94 6.47 Blair W. 2-10 6 Associated Press SEATTLE Jason Varitek has taken advantage of the opportunity to play every day. Varitek's second home run of the game, a three-run shot in the eighth inning, gave the Boston Red Sox a 9-7 victory over the Seattle Mariners yesterday.

"You can practice defensively and take batting practice all day, but you learn so much more from playing every day," said Varitek, a part-time player last season. With an injury early in the season to starting catcher Scott Hatteberg, Varitek has played nearly every day, hitting .266 with 15 homers and 59 RBI. "He's been very consistent all year long," Manager Jimy Williams said. "He's become an outstanding catcher in the league. He's one of the most focused players I've seen in a long time." Boston moved two games ahead of Oakland in the AL wild-card race.

Garces (4-1) picked up the win going two innings while Lowe picked up his 11th save in 14 opportunities pitching the final two innings. Tigers 5, Athletics 4 OAKLAND, Calif. -Tony Clark had a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly as the Detroit Tigers beat the Oakland Athletics.
