Minnesota 3, Baltimore 2: At Baltimore, Paul Molitor doubled in the tying run In the eighth and scored on a wild pitch. Rick Agullera (3-4) pitched seven Innings for the Twins, who handed the Orioles their 10th loss In 14 games.

Eddie Guardado struck out the side In the eighth and got one out In the ninth before Dan Naulty got his third save. Brady Anderson (31 homers) who missed the Orioles' previous four games with appendicitis, decided against surgery after a fourth doctor's opinion told him what he wanted to hear. He started In centerfleld and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Anderson will be playing In pain, and there's a chance his appendix could burst. Toronto 3, Cleveland 1 At Toronto, Pat Hentgen allowed five hits In 7'h Innings, and Joe Carter hit his 350th homer and 23rd this season.

Half of his 350 are with Toronto. Shawn Green's two-run homer broke a 1-1 tie In the fourth. Hentgen (11-6) has won four straight starts. New York 6, Toxai 0: Dwight Gooden (10-5) in his strongest outing since his May 14 no-hitter, allowed two hits in seven innings for the host Yankees.

The Yankees' Bernle Williams missed Tuesday's game because of a sty in his right eye. Kansas City 7, Boston 5: At Boston, Kevin Appier, the subject of several rumors as the trading deadline approaches, won for the fourth straight start. Craig Paquette hit his team-leading 13th homer fori Kansas City, which has won seven of nine games. Five of the Royals' i runs were unearned because of four Red Sox errors.

The July 31 trading deadline is a week from today, and Cecil Fielder is well aware of it. "Of course it's on my mind," Fielder said. "It's probably on more peoples' mind here than mine. I'm not going to let it disturb me or my performance.

We'll wait and see what happens." It will be a surprise if the Tigers deal Fielder by next Wednesday, the deadline for making a deal without having waivers on a player. The reason is Fielder's salary. But general manager Randy Smith might have until Aug. 31 the deadline for setting postseason rosters to trade him, because Fielder's salary also likely will allow him to get through waivers. A lot of teams could probably use a slugger like Fielder, but he has approximately $10 million remaining on his contract through next season.

And if the Tigers pay upwards of $2 million or $3 million of that while Fielder plays elsewhere, they will want at least one young player in return. Smith has begun making calls to contending trying to generate interest in some veteran Tigers. "There's nothing really going at this point," Smith said Wednesday. "There are no continuing conversations." Although the Indians swapped designated hitter Eddie Murray to Baltimore on Sunday for pitcher Kent Mercker, the deal apparently didn't create an opening that Fielder can fill. Murray had become expendable' because newcomer Mark Carreon and Jeromy Burnitz will inherit Murray's at-bats.

Fielder's chances of going to Cleveland might increase if slugger Albert Belle departs as a free agent! after this season. There are growing indications that; the Tribe won't keep Belle because of his continuing attitude and discipline problems. LEWS INTEREST? The Tigers might have interest in infielder Scott Leius, whom Cleveland apparently will let go to make room for pitcher Dennis Martinez's return from the disabled list. Leius can play all four infield positions, which would give him two potential appeals for next season's Tigers. He could be a candidate to play 'shortstop, a position that is open.

If Alan Trammell doesn't return, he could replace him as a utility infielder. Leius, who homered to win Game 2 of the 1991 World Series for Minnesota, had the best of his six big-league seasons with the '94 Twins, when he had 14 homers and 49 RBIs in 350 at-bats. NOTES: Tuesday night, in Justin Thompson's second rehabilitation start for Visalia against High Desert, he struck out seven and allowed two hits in three scoreless innings. Thompson is still on target for a return of Aug. 2 or 3.

Before Thursday night's series opener in Seattle, the Tigers plan to activate Trammell and pitcher Greg Gohr, and to send infielder Fausto Cruz and pitcher Jeff McCurry to the minors to make room. Gohr doesn't sound upset about being sent from the rotation to the bullpen. "I just want to pitch," said Gohr, who has missed three weeks with tendinitis in his left knee.

He lost 60 pounds. Like Gregg, Roe decided he needed to lose weight after National League umpire John McSherry, a friend of his, collapsed and died on the field in Cincinnati on Opening Day. McSherry had fought a weight problem for years. Roe has gone from 312 pounds to 242.

He wants to get to 222 by season's end and 205-210 by the start of next season. Roe weighed 215 when he began his big-league career in 1979. CHICAGO WHITE SOX: First baseman Frank Thomai Is progressing on schedule and could return In a week or 10 days. He went on the disabled list July 1 1 with a stress fracture of his left foot. HOUSTON: Right-hander Danny Darwin was acquired from Pittsburgh for pitching prospect Rich Lolselle, 24.

Darwin, 40, was 7-9 with a 3.02 ERA after making the Pirates as a non-roster player. It's his second Astros stint. Lolselle was assigned to Triple-A Calgary. PITTSBURGH: Right-hander Paul Wagner went on the 60-day disabled list. He will probably need surgery to correct a torn ulnar ligament (biceps) but said he'll seek a second opinion.

Manager Jim Leyland said he will add Chrla Peters and Slav Parrls to the rotation. Peters' only experience Is one relief appearance. Right-hander John Erlcks was purchased from Triple-A Calgary. SEATTLE: Two-time American League batting champion Edgar Martinez (.334, 22 HRs, 82 RBIs, 44 doubles) went on the 15-day disabled list with bruised ribs suffered Saturday in a collision with California's John Mariano. Seattle acquired third baseman Jeff Manto from Boston for Triple-A Infielder Arqulmedez Pozo, 22.

Pozo hit .279 with 15 homers and 64 RBIs at Tacoma. Martinez, usually a designated hitter, was playing third base for the first time this season when hurt.
