Big stick: Tike Redman, 3-for-4, run, stolen base. How they won: A wild pitch and a sacrifice fly led to Nashville's runs in the first and second innings, and the Sounds turned double plays in each of the final three innings to preserve the victory.

What they said: "Better late than never," said Guerrier, who is 3-1 with a 2.42 earned run average and 19 strikeouts in four starts (26 innings) since coming off the disabled list Aug. 10. Before going on the DL with tendinitis, he was 4-1 1 with a 5.21 ERA Tonight's pitchers: Sounds: LHP Brian Looney (0-1, 6.30 ERA). 51s: LHP Lindsay Gulin (5-2, 4.67). -MAURICE PATTON LOe-Mernprw 3.

The Cardinals lead the ML Central by three games over Houstoa Tve had good times here. It's great playing in that city," Fassero said. "I'm a little disappointed the way this year went because after what we did last year and what expectations we had this year, it's a little disappointing." Fassero, 39, is 5-6 with a 618 ERA in 51 innings.

He has pitched in 57 games this season. On Saturday, the Cardinals placed starter Matt Morris and lefthander reliever Mike Matthews on the disabled list Shortstop record: Baltimore's Mike Bordick broke Cal Ripken's major league record for consecutive errorless chances by a shortstop, throwing out Toronto leadoff hitter Shannon Stewart on a grounder in the first inning to run his string to 429. Bordick went on to complete his 81st game in a row without an error. Sosa aSng: Sammy Sosa, bothered by a sore neck, returned to Chicago and missed the Cubs' series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs said the injury was not believed to be serious.

Sosa has hit an NL-leading 43 home runs. He is batting 303 with 96 RBL Other injuries: Toronto first baseman Carlos Delgado was activated from the 15-day DL Delgado had been sidelined since Aug. 8 because of lower back tightness. The Blue Jays' career leader in home runs with 250, Delgado this year joined Joe Carter as the only Toronto players to have seven consecutive 20-homer seasons. Delgado, 30, was hitting 2 with 16 RBI in 23 games since the All-Star break.

The Baltimore Orioles placed outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. on the 15-day DL Matthews has tendinitis in his right wrist. He will have an MRI today. He is hitting 276 with 25 doubles, seven homers and 38 RBL The Chicago White Sox placed infielder Tony Graffanino on the 15-day DL because of an injured right knee. Graffanino was hurt playing second base in the first inning of Chicago's 8-3 victory over Tampa Bay.

X-rays were negative. Graffanino is batting 262 with six home runs and 31 RBL Woman dies during promotion: A woman taking part in a minor league promotion collapsed and died as she ran across the baseball field in search of a hidden diamond. Victoria Lampe, 28, was one of about 250 women and girls who took part in the promotion after Friday night's game between the Orlando Rays and Jacksonville Suns in Lake Buena Vista, Fla Lampe appeared to suffer a seizure in the infield of the Disney's Wide World of Sports WITH CUNNINGHAM DISCOUNTS CASHBACK YOU CAN SAVE UP TO 0,000 OFF MSRP I Full Sin With AC, Vortec, 0D Transmission, Stereo and More!

Being at home wasn't necessarily an advantage yesterday, as Nashville saw its one-run ninth-inning lead threatened with two outs when Ivan Cruz blasted a Duaner Sanchez fastball way past the right-field fence and slightly foul Two pitches later, Sanchez struck out Cruz for his seventh save of the seasoa "I had a pretty good idea it was going foul," Brown said of the Cruz drive, which came on a pitch where Sanchez varied from his usual overhand delivery to a three-quarters form. "The thing Duaner's got to learn is, there's a time to work on things and a time to not He likes to drop down sometimes, but against left-handed power hitters isn't the time. That can open a can of worms we didn't want to open there." The late drama came about in part because the Sounds were inefficient offensively, stranding four runners in scoring position in the continuation of a yearlong theme.

"We won a game we shouldn't have won," Brown said.

Playing uphill since winning just 15 of its first 40 games, the stretch run won't be any easier for the Sounds. Las Vegas was the first team to clinch a postseason berth, winning the PCL South last Tuesday, and its division rival, Tucson, is obviously finished once it concludes its series with Nashville. "That makes them a little more scary," Nashville Manager Marty Brown said.

"They can be as dangerous as they want to be, because they can go out and play carefree basebalL If we feel the pressure of having to go out and win every game that's not the way we want to be. "If we have an advantage, it's that we're playing teams we've only seen four times. They don't know what we're doing, we don't know what they're doing." If there's a disadvantage, it's that the Sounds are only 30-34 away from Greer Stadium. That doesn't seem to bother Brown, however, "I think we've played well on the road," Brown said.
