II KINGS FALL: Los Angeles' John Tonelli (left) tangles with Edmonton's Steve Smith. NHL, 2D. April showers for Stewart More 4 Rough start: Once unbeatable in opening month, Athletics' Stewart has lost two with one no-decision this year. By Lori Gilbert GANNETT NEWS SERVICE MINNEAPOLIS Wednesday's match-up between Oakland's Dave Stewart and Minnesota's Jack Morris was one Athletics manager Tony La Russa eagerly anticipated. The "two warriors," as La Russa called them, didn't disappoint.

At least for five innings. Then both were hammered in the sixth as Morris and the Twins earned a 7-4 win. Stewart, once seemingly invincible in April, winning 20 straight in the month dating back to 1987, failed to win for the third consecutive game. It was the second loss in a row for Stewart, 1-2, after a no-decision. "Today I had one rough inning," said Stewart, whose ERA over the last three games is 10.00 and overall is 7.56.

"Today was a lot more positive than the last two.

Stewart, who gave up 12 hits, settled down after the sixth, but it was too late. Oakland rattled Morris, 1-3, in the top of the sixth inning with four runs. 1 The Athletics batted through the lineup, collecting six of their seven hits.

But like Stewart, Morris settled down after the one rocky inning to -pick up his first win for the Twins. He got relief help from Rick Agui-lera in the eighth. "The first three times out, I was just trying to do too much," said Morris, who also picked up his 2.000th career strike out when he fanned Jose Canseco in the seventh. "Now. I feel relaxed." During their just-completed 10-game road trip.

Oakland batters hit .236 and the team's ERA was three games. "I was aware that our bullpen was getting a little thin," Burkett said. "I thought it was important to throw six or seven innings, but I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself. Our middle relief has been throwing a lot of innings so it was nice to keep them out off the game." Burkctt (2-1) struck out six. walked two and lowered his ERA from 4.26 to 3.2 1.

"That's what you've got to have in the situation we were in. when you're bullpen is tired." Craig said. "We beat a real good pitcher and a hot ball club." Padres starter Ed Whitson (1-2) allowed four runs and seven hits in 6'i innings. The go-ahead run scored on a ild pitch by Whitson. normally one of the better control pitchers in the game.

Last season, he was second-best in the majors at keeping the ball in the strike zone, allowing just 1.8 walks per inning. Associated Press '3 Ik A Associated Press his glove Wednesday.
