"We're getting the run support I get eight runs and I'm not in there after four innings You just have to put it out of your mind and not take it into your next start I'll be ready four days from now" Sierra's two-run homer helped the Rangers rally and tie it at 6-6 in the fifth But Paul Molitor doubled to lead off the sixth against reliever Gerald Alexander and later scored on Greg Vaughn's sacrifice fly to put Milwaukee back in the lead The Brewers scored three more in the seventh as Rangers pitchers continued to have their problems getting Molitor out He had four hits in the game and tied a club record by scoring four runs Rafael Palmeiro's two-run homer in the seventh cut the Brewers' lead to 10-8 However after Sierra doubled with two outs Valentine made the fateful decision of pinch-hitting for cleanup hitter Kevin Reimer when left-hander Mark Lee came in to pitch Pinch hitter Mike Stanley grounded out to shortstop and Gary Pettis went in for Reimer on a-lined Out for Diaz

the Milwaukee Brewers 10-8 before 35009 at Arlington Stadium "'don't want it to be like that the pitchers don't want it to be like that" Rangers manager Bobby Valentine said "Everybody wants to win 8-0 But these are the guys we have They're wearing Rangers uni- orms and 1 believe in them 1 be- lieve they will get better" There's only so much the Rangers' offense can do The Rangers have averaged 785 runs over their past 13 games but their 4 record in that stretch is 7-6 "We're going to hit" outfielder Ruben Sierra said "We're going to score a lot of runs But the pitchers have to do the job too" The latest pitching collapse came on a night when Texas' most de pendable starter was on the mound Jose Guzman was 6-1 with a 169 earned-run average in his past eight starts but whatever malady has been inflicted on the Rangers pitching staff apparently is contagious Guzman despite being handed a 3- 1 lead in the second couldn't get through the fourth inning as the Brewers scored five runs to take a 6- 3 lead "He didn't have his good con: trol" Valentine said "His breaking ball was way up and his fastball was out of the zone" Guzman gave up six runs on eight hits as his ERA jumped from
