BUDDY BELL HITS FOR CYCLE!

It didnt take long for something extra special to take place this season. On only the second day of the new campaign Texas Rangers third baseman Buddy Bell showed his class by completing a cycle in an 8-3 Rangers win over Minnesota. On top of everything Bell topped it off by hitting a grand slam.

"To do that at this level is something special" said Bell who drove in four runs and scored three more, "I just feel good at the plate and want to help this team do something no one expects us to."

Mike Caldwell of the Brewers was the unfortunate victim as these teams split the first two games of their series at Miller Park. Bell is hitting .500 in his first two games having gone 5-10.

Charlie Hough got the win for the Rangers.

Blyleven K's Nine DiamondBacks
Bert Blyleven was part of tremendous win for the Minnesota Twins. Blyleven pitched a shutout striking out 9 men and allowing only 3 hits in the 13-0 win at Chase Field.

Goose Goslin and Joe Cronin combined to drive in seven runs as the Twins were all over Curt Schilling who had nothing on this opening night. The Twins battered out 18 hits and reminded many why the D'Backs are expected to be among the worst teams in the league.

Dodgers back on Track
In what may become a normal trend the LA Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres and Jake Peavy with great pitching in their 7-0 shutout. Orel Hershiser eased Tommy LaSorda's mind with a fine performance that included six strikeouts.

Babe Herman was the hitting star of the day collecting three doubles in the win. Herman drove in two and scored two as the Dodgers cruised to tie the series.

Other scores
Yankees 8 White Sox 6
Ron Guidry gets the Yanks back on track

Angels 10 Athletics 4
The A's have dropped their first two games thanks in large part to Vlad Guerrero who scored four runs.

Nationals 4 Mets 1
The Gooden vs Pedro matchup was a good one as Rusty Staub single handedly won this one for the home side with 2 home runs off the Doctor.

Cardinals 5 Reds 9
Vada Pinson drives in five runs as Dizzy Dean and the Cards drop their second home game.

Cubs 0 Pirates 2
A Dave Parker 2 run home run is the diffrence in this game as Deacon Phillipe shuts out Chicago.
