The sixth-inning hit was the 15th home run for Canseco, whose only other major league grand slam came against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opening game of the 1988 World Series.

"I wanted to hit a fly ball, but after two strikes I just wanted to put the ball in play," Spiers said. "I felt relaxed. I had a chance to win the game. "It's been frustrating for me so far.

I just want to do my part, whatever it is, to win," he said of his l-for-13 start.

1 The team initially could play at RFK Stadium in Washington as early as 1992 and later move to a new stadium in northern Virginia, the group said. I Notes Montreal pitcher Dennis Martinez apologized to Expos General Manager Dave Dombrowski about remarks the right-hander made last week following the demotion of Cuban-born catcher Nelson Santo-venia. However, the Nicaraguan-born Martinez said he still believes Santovenia's assignment to Indianapolis of the American Association "was made easier because Santovenia was a Latin." Martinez was quoted in Canadian newspapers last week as saying Santovenia's demotion was the result of racism on the part of the Expos. The Houston Astros optioned outfielder Gerald Young to their Class AAA Tucson club and purchased the contract of outfielder Jeff Baldwin from Class AA Columbus. Young was hitting .179 in 31 games for the Astros with one home run and four RBI.

Notebook Before Sanders batted leading off the sixth, he and Fisk exchanged words and were separated by home plate umpire John Hirsch-beck. Players from both benches and the bullpens streamed onto the field and gathered near home plate. No punches were thrown and the matter was cleared up within a minute. In the third inning, Sanders popped out to short with a runner on third and one out.

He failed to run to first and instead remained at the plate looking at Fisk. Sanders was booed on his way back to the dugout. Sanders, who also plays for the Atlanta Falcons, was recalled from Class AAA Columbus on Monday. He has started in left field the last two nights. The cause of the disagreement was not immediately known.
