major-league career couldn't have come at a better time for the Houston "This was pretty much a must-win for us" Jeff Bagwell said after Garcia pitched a five-hitter to beat the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 4-0 Wednesday night and stop the Astros' six-game losing streak Houston opened a 212-game lead in the NL Central over second-place Pittsburgh which lost to Cleveland 7-3 "When you're in a hitting slump like we've been the best way to stop it is to have your pitcher throw a shutout" Bagwell said The second-place Brewers dropped 312 games behind the Indians in the AL Central Garcia (6-8) struck out four and walked four sending Milwaukee to just its third loss in 11 games He also singled in a run against the Brewers the team he played for last season "That didn't make it special" Garcia said "It was big because we had lost six games in a row and because we are in first place" Coming in Garcia had one win in his previous six starts ALSO WEDNESDAY Indians 7 Pirates 3: Omar Vizquel and Matt Williams hit two-run homers in a five-run fourth inning to keep Orel Hershiser unbeaten since July 2 The visiting Indians won twice in the three-game series the first between the bordering-state teams in their 96 years together in the majors The crowd of 37513 boosted the series attendance to 126191 the fourth largest in Pirates history The Pirates missed a chance to return to the 500 mark by losing for the seventh time in nine games Hershiser (13-5) was in trouble in each of the first three innings and fell behind 2-0 but held on to win his sixth in a row despite allowing eight hits over six-plus innings He hasn't lost in his last 10 starts and is 4-0 in five outings since coming off the disabled list Aug 13 Cubs 10 Twins 6: Mark Grace hit a two-run homer and Ryne Sandberg and Dave Clark drove in two runs each to lead the host Cubs Sandberg hit a two-run double in the second and Clark had a two-run pinch single in the fifth Grace who drove in three runs homered off Todd Ritchie in the eighth Jeremi Gonzalez (11-6) became the Cubs' winningest rookie since Mike Harkey went 12-6 in 1990 allowing two runs one earned and five hits in five innings Reds 6 Royals 3: Pokey Reese and Eddie Taubensee homered as host Cincinnati scored six runs off former Reds pitcher Ricky Bones (3-5) Rookie Brett Tomko (10-5) struck out nine in 6 23 innings allowing five hits and walking five Cardinals 4 White Sox 2: Gary Gaetti hit a tie-breaking home run and rookie Manny Aybar (1-4) earned his first major-league victory as the host Cardinals won The Cardinals remained on the fringe of the race in NL Central six games behind Houston The first complete game of Ramon Garcia's major league career couldn't have come at a better tune for the Houston "This was pretty much a

over the dugout roof during batting practice pleading for Charles Johnson's autograph They toss him caps balls photos posters enough paraphernalia to start a souvenir shop He deftly catch- es every item signs it and lobs it back into the stands Then Johnson trots off his record )7'''-''''" TNT intact: He still hasn't mishandled any- '-i''r 1 thing all year 6 The Florida Marlins' catcher does- have an error or a passed ball which means he's flirting with a per- ''s feet season at his position Through ik Wednesday Johnson had 155 con- Ti secutive errorless games four shy Charles of Rick Cerone's major league record Johnson is 'all- "You don't start a season thinking world' says you're going to go errorless or not one manager make a passed ball" Johnson said "You understand that things like that happen It's part of the game" A season without a passed ball is unusual for a catcher and to go without an error is even more rare But to do both in the same year? "Amazing" said Andy Etchebarren a coach for the Baltimore Orioles and a major league catcher for 15 seasons "If he catches 120 to 130 games and doesn't have a passed ball or an error that's hard to believe" The Orioles got their first look at Johnson during an interleague series this week In Florida's extra-inning victory Tuesday he picked a Baltimore runner off second base tagged out two runners at the plate and had two hits including a single to start the game-winning rally in the 10th inning "That catcher" Baltimore manager Davey Johnson said "is all-world" By any measure the 26-year-old Florida native and University of Miami product is enjoying the best season in a three-year career that already includes two Gold Gloves He has been a catalyst as the Marlins close in on the first playoff berth in franchise history "If we were to lose GI that would be the worst loss on the team" said teammate Darren Daulton a former catcher "We couldn't afford it" Because of defense Johnson made the All-Star team this year for the first time despite a 226 average Then he got hot and through Wednesday he was hitting 338 since the All-Star break raising his season average to 272 with 18 homers and 57 RBIs "Don't get too close to him you might get burned" teammate Tony Saunders joked Game Team Summary 2629 Atlanta Braves 2630 2631 Chitago Cubs 2632 2633 Cinrinnati Reds 2634
