  • Chicago Comeback Tops Houston, Keeps NL Race Close

    Orel Hershiser allowed just one earned run on 6 hits in 6 innings, but the Chicago Docs needed two comebacks to top the Houston Hoots to win it 6-4, keeping the race in the National League close. Keith Hernandez hit an RBI single off Phil Niekro to give Chicago an early lead, but an error by Albert Pujols led to three unearned runs in the bottom of the inning to put Houston on top 3-1. Sammy Sosa hit an RBI double in the 6th, and scored on Pete Rose's 2-out single to tie the game. Paul Waner gave the Hoots the lead back with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the inning. But things fell apart for Niekro in the 7th. Albert Pujols hit an RBI double to tie the game back up, and two batters later Jim Edmonds hit a 2-run single to give the Docs a 6-4 lead. Kevin Brown gave Chicago two scoreless innings of relief, and Tug McGraw pitched a scoreless 9th for his 8th save. Houston's lead in the National League is back to 1 1/2 games. So far, Los Angeles hasn't been able to take advantage. LA will face St. Louis later today.
