Del Rio, Texas NEWS-HERALD, Thursday, July 27, 1909-9 Yankees losing skid continues By The Associated Press George Steinbrenner and Dallas Green now know what most of baseball realized last winter: the Yankees' pitching stinks. New York took a 2-0 lead against Cleveland Wednesday night. After falling being 6-2, the Yankees took a 7-6 lead. Didn't matter. The bullpen got involved and Cleveland won 8-7 for New York's eighth loss in nine games.

"I don't know where the comedy of errors begins and ends," Green said, "but it sure surfaced in that inning. You can't give major league players that many outs and not expect to get the After Luis Polonia's two-run homer gave the Yankees a 7-6 lead in the top of the eighth, Lee Guetterman, 2.5, allowed a leadoff single to Jerry Browne in the bottom half. Felix Fermin bunted and Guetterman's throw sailed 20 feet over first base and rolled down the right-field line as the runners went to second and third. Dion James popped out and Joe Carter was walked to load the bases. Pete O'Brien then popped the ball down the left-field line and Polonia allowed it to drop for a double.

O'Brien had three hits and drove in four runs. "All he has to do it catch the ball," Green said of Polonia. "I expect outfielders who are paid to play to catch the baseball. He didn't play 0'Brien's ball right in the fifth, either. It cost us two more runs." In other games, Oakland beat California 9-5, Minnesota beat Baltimore 5-4, Chicago beat Seattle 5-3, Kansas City beat Boston 7-4, Texas beat Toronto 11-1 and Milwaukee beat Detroit 3-2.

Cincinnati loses tenth straight By DICK BRINSTER AP Sports Writer With the Cincinnati Reds one defeat short of matching a 23-year-old low- mark, Manager Pete Rose says there's nothing the team can do but keep playing and hoping. The Reds lost their 10th consecutive game Wednesday night, a 5-3 defeat by San Diego. The Reds can tie a 1966 mark of futility with a loss tor the Padres today. Is there anything the Reds can do to changes their fortunes? "That's the same question we've asked each other the last seven or eight days," Rose said.

"Just keep playing, that's all you can do." Elsewhere in the National League, it was Houston 6, Los Angeles Philadelphia 4, Montreal Atlanta 5, San Francisco Pittsburgh 3, New York 2, and St. Louis 2, Chicago 0. Cincinnati's slump is its worst since an 11-game slide from June 29 to July 9, 1966. The Reds, beset by injuries, suffered again from a lack of of. fense.

They managed only four hits. "(John) Franco gets beat on a check swing (by Mike Pagliarulo Diablos defeat Jackson By The Associated Press Tim McIntosh slugged a grand slam homer to lead the El Paso Diablos to a 6-5 Texas League baseball victory over the Jackson Mets. In other Texas League games Thursday night, Shreveport defeated Midland, 8-5, in 11 inn. ings, and Arkansas defeated San Antonio, 5-1. McIntosh had been hitless in 11 at-bats against Jackson during the series before his grand slam homer that sparked a five-run sixth inning for El Paso.

It was McIntosh's 12th home run of the season, and the first grand slam of his professional career. Angelo Cuevas had a homer for the Mets. Mark Owens had a home run in the 11th inning to give the Shreveport Captains an 8-5 vic. tory over the Midland Angels. Otto Gonzalez hit a homer for Midland to tie the game in the ninth and send it into extra innings.

The winning pitcher was Doug Robertson, 2-2. The loser was David Graybill, 2-3. Pitcher Mike Perez halted a late rally by the San Antonio Mis. sions as the Arkansas Travelers defeated San Antonio 5-1. Arkansas scored its first run in the fourth after Geronimo Pena doubled and then was knocked in by Rod Brewer's single.

The Travelers picked up another run in the seventh when Ray Lankford tripled and scored on an infield ground-out by Jesus Mendez.
