"I take the position players. Nemo (Niemann) takes the pitchers," Swisher said. "If I have to tell a pitcher the same thing a thousand times, maybe he'll get it the time," Niemann said.

Niemann was a 1980 Houston Astros' teammate of Nolan Ryan and learned from slow learner Ryan. "Great strikeout pitchers don't throw to avoid contact until they get ahead of batters. Nolan Ryan was in the majors for 10 years before he learned that, and as a result he was only a .500 pitcher until then," Niemann said. When a reporter questioned Dennis Harriger, who gave up one of Albany's four homers Wednesday, whether the Eastern League is using a more lively ball than in '92, Harriger shrugged. "I haven't heard anyone suggest that if you keep the ball low, there won't be home runs no matter what ball you use," he said.

"If you come in high like I did on that pitch there'll be home runs." Albany second baseman Kevin Jordan, who homered off Harriger in the seventh and off Chris Dorn in the ninth, has five homers this season compared to eight in 1 12 Class A Carolina League games last season and four apiece in previous seasons with Oneonta and Fort Lauderdale. It's not just pitching that has kept the Mets hovering just above the EL cellar. Three more errors by the left side of the infield, all wide throws, brings the 1 6-game team total to 24. After taking a 3-2 lead in the second, the Mets sent only 22 more batters to the plate the minimum for Vi innings. The best-hit balls during the drought were two line drives to infielders.

It was 4-4 when Mike Devereaux opened the sixth by reaching on a throwing error by shortstop Jeff Reboulet. Singles by Ripken and Harold Barnes produced the go-ahead run.

Arthur Rhodes (1-1), who came in with a 13.97 ERA, allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 innings. White Sox 11, Brewers 2: Frank Thomas continued his hot hitting with a two-run homer, and Kirk McCaskill pitched seven strong innings as Chicago beat visiting Milwaukee. Thomas has five hits in his last 1 1 at-bats and nine RBI in his last three games, two more than his April total last year. Thomas was hit by a pitch from Josias Manzanillo in the eighth and later removed for a pinch runner. McCaskill (2-3) gave up one run and six hits, struck out four and walked two.

Chicago had scored just nine runs for him in his previous four starts. Cal Eldred (3-2) was tagged for six runs and nine hits in just four innings. NATIONAL LEAGUE 5 double plays help Reds win The Associated Press Cincinnati's Joe Oliver hit a three-run homer and the Reds made five double plays in defeating visiting Pittsburgh, 4-2, Wednesday night. Winner Tim Pugh (2-1) gave up eight hits in seven-plus innings, but generally stayed out of trouble because of the Reds' defense. It was the first time the Reds had five double plays in a game since July 20, 1991, at Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati's club record is six. Greg Cadaret gave up an RBI double to Jay Bell in the eighth that cut the Reds' lead to 4-2, but reliever Jeff Reardon got the last four outs. Dave Otto (1-2) was stingier than Pugh, allowing five hits in seven innings, but took the loss because he couldn't get a low breaking ball past Oliver in the second inning. Oliver golfed a low, 3-2 pitch over the wall in center. The Reds scored their final run when Roberto Kelly homered in the third.

It was his third homer in four career at-bats against Otto, Pugh left after giving up a leadoff single to pinch hitter Lonnie Smith in the eighth. Bell doubled Smith home with his eighth hit in his last 1 1 at-bats. Kevin Mitchell returned to the Reds' lineup after missing five games with a pulled hamstring. He went 2-for-3 with a double, raising his aver- age to .368, before sitting down after the fifth inning. Marlins 3, Braves 1: Benito Santiago's infield single in the ninth drove in the go-ahead run for Florida at Atlanta.

The victory was the Marlins' fourth in five games. The Braves have lost four in a row and fell under .500 (11-12) for the first time since last June. Reliever Steve Bedrosian (0-2) hit pinch hitter Greg Briley with a pitch to open the Marlins ninth. After a sacrifice, Junior Felix singled to right but Briley slipped rounding the bag and had to stop at third. Santiago followed with his single to shortstop, breaking a 1-1 tie.

Bob McClure (1-1) picked up the victory by getting the final out in the eighth. The Braves left 10 runners on base in the first five innings. In Tuesday night's 1 1 -inning loss to Pittsburgh, they stranded 14. Astros 6, Cubs 1: Greg Swindell (4-1) won his fourth straight start and first-place Houston won for the 1 2th time in its last 1 6 games. Swindell (4-1) pitched eight innings, giving up seven hits, striking out two and walking none against visiting Chicago.

The Astros scored four runs in the second off starter Jose Guzman (4-2). Ken Caminiti lined a one-out homer to right, his second homer in as many nights, to make it 1 -0. Andujar Cedeno followed with a two-out single, his sixth consecutive hit, and scored on Eddie Taubensee's triple. Swindell singled home Taubensee, moved to second on a walk and scored on a throwing error by first baseman Mark Grace. pniiiiee(pniiaaeipnia).
