Detroit pounds Kansas City, 17 – 0, to give Bill Gullickson an easy win over Tom Gordon. It is the worst loss in franchise history for K.C., and a reversal of the match-up of July 14th between the same two starters. That day, the Royals routed the Bengals, 18 – 4.

In a 15-inning, 9 – 8 loss to the Royals, Sam Horn of the Orioles becomes the first non-pitcher to fan six consecutive times in a single game. Pitcher Carl Weilman of the Browns was the only other player to have the dubious distinction, performing the feat on August 25, 1913.

Two naked fans run onto the field at Fulton County Stadium then slide into home plate. The duo are apprehended by security guards. Not distracted, the Braves defeat the Cubs, 12 – 2.

Randy Johnson takes just four innings to rack up 10 walks. He fans 4, tosses a wild pitch and allows one hit and four runs in his stint, a 6 – 1 loss to the Brewers. Bill Wegman takes the complete game win.

Cleveland defeats Oakland, 2 – 1, as Indians hurler Rod Nichols gets the victory and breaks a personal 13-game losing streak dating back to September 1989.

Seattle’s Edgar Martinez just misses hitting for the cycle for the second game in a row. He stokes a single, double, and triple in a 5 – 1 win over the New York Yankees. On the 14th, he had two singles, a triple and a home run against the Cleveland Indians.

The New York Mets trade pitcher Ron Darling and minor league P Mike Thomas to the Montreal Expos in exchange for pitcher Tim Burke.

Pitcher Kip Gross loses two games, in two different leagues, 1,100 miles apart. The Cincinnati Reds hurler takes the loss in the Reds’ 10 – 6 defeat by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and also becomes the loser of a game played by the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. It is the completion of a game in Denver which had been suspended by rain back on May 15.
