American League The Orioles have won four straight, equaling their longest streak of last season, and are the first American League East team to go five games over .500 this season. They lead the second-place Boston Red Sox by 2 Vi games. TV: Twins at White Sox, Sunshine Network, 8:30 p.m.; Royals at Angels, SportsChan-nel, 10:30 p.m. Cheering Traber on at Tiger Stadium was his brother Pete, a former University of Michigan football player who is now a doctor in Ann Arbor. "He's hit extremely well every time I've watched him play," Dr.

Traber said. "He hit an upper deck homer here last year when I came to see him play." Traber had been riding the bench for two weeks and was in the lineup only because Randy Milli-gan was injured. "It's been kind of hard not playing," Traber said. "The team's doing well and I didn't feel a part of it. But I deserved to be on the bench because I had a terrible slump at the start of the season and Randy played well.

"The most important thing during that stretch was I was trying to do to much. There was always pressure. Tonight, I was totally relaxed." Rookie Randy Nosek (0-2), making his second start since being called up from Class AA London, Ontario, did not survive the first inning, giving up all six runs on four hits and two walks. He was relieved by Mike Schwabe, another rookie up from London, after retiring only two batters. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Milwaukee's Ted Higuera earned his first victory of the season Thursday night, allowing only two hits through six innings as the Brewers beat the Yankees 5-0 at County Stadium.

Higuera did not come out for the seventh and was replaced by Jay Aldrich. He went three innings for his first career save. The Brewers used a balk and a catcher's interference to take a 4-0 lead after two innings against the Dave LaPoint (5-4). Paul Molitor walked in the first and was forced at second by Robin Yount. Gary Sheffield flied out but a balk was called on the pitch, allowing Yount to reach second and Sheffield to return to the plate.

Sheffield singled Yount to third, Rob Deer was hit by a pitch and Yount scored on Glenn Braggs' sacrifice fly.

"I wasn't getting ahead of the hitters and was getting the pitches up. I'll just say it wasn't my night and try to forget what happened." Dave Schmidt (5-4) won his fourth consecutive start despite allowing a leadoff homer to Gary Pettis in the Detroit first and another leadoff shot by Fred Lynn in the fifth. Brewers 5, Yankees MILWAUKEE Ted Higuera, slowed all season as he recovered from back surgery, pitched a two- National League Four pitchers, including Nolan Ryan, have taken no-hitters to the ninth inning this season.

The last one also came against the Dodgers when Cincinnati's Tom Browning pitched a perfect game on Sept. 16, 1988. Deshaies (6-3), who has never lost to the Dodgers in six decisions at the Astrodome, walked five and struck out six. The Astros have seven straight victories, equaling the longest National League winning streak this season. Dodger starter Mike Morgan (4-3) gave up an infield hit to Glenn Davis and a single to left field to Puhl to start the second inning.

Davis went to third on Ken Camini-ti's fielder's choice grounder and scored on a grounder by Ramirez, knocking the ball out of Scioscia's grasp with his slide. AB Pet. W.Clark, SF 51 185 40 67 .362 Larkln, Cln 45 171 24 57 .333 L. Smith, All 40 145 30 47 .324 T. Gwynn, SD 54 211 32 67 .318 V.

With two outs in the eighth inning, Hatcher hit a hard bouncer that Deshaies was unable to handle. The ball skipped toward shortstop Rafael Ramirez, whose throw was too late to catch the runner. Murray singled between second baseman Bill Doran and right fielder Terry Puhl to lead off the ninth. The Dodgers went on to score two unearned runs before reliever Juan Agosto struck out pinch-hitter Mike Davis for the final out. Dunedin By JIM BARAN Palm Beach Post Staff Writer PORT ST.

LUCIE Terry McDaniel hit a leadoff home run but it wasn't a sign of things to come for the St. Lucie Mets. The Dunedin Blue Jays (27-29) scored eight runs in the next five innings and defeated the Mets (32-23) 8-5 Thursday night in a Florida State League game at the St. Lucie County Sports Complex. Dunedin starter Nate Cromwell (7-3) woke up Thursday morning with a stiff neck; the Blue Jays almost didn't let him pitch.

The four Mets Cromwell faced hit the ball hard. McDaniel hit his fifth home run of the season, and Alex Diaz and Steve Davis both hit hard balls but were put out. When Chris Donnels doubled, Blue Jays manager Doug Ault decided to remove Cromwell. Winning pitcher Steve Wopnick (4-0) pitched 4V3 innings, allowing two hits. St.

Lucie starter Terry Griffin (5-2) pitched four innings, giving up four hits and four runs. After Griffin walked Norm Tonucci in the fourth, Scott Ruckman hit a two-run home run to make it 4-1 Blue Jays. Ruckman drove in three runs. Six of his season total of eight RBI have been against the Mets. Eric Hillman relieved Griffin in the fifth and gave up four hits and three runs in the inning.

"We expect a lot more out of both of them," St. Lucie manager Clint Hurdle said. "Griffin has struggled in his last few outings, and Hillman had a good first outing and has been struggling since." Horns runs Mitchell, San Francisco, 15; G. Davis. Houston, 12; Strawberry, New York, 1 H.
