The newly renovated Anaheim Stadium will now be known as Edison International Field. The 30 year-old Angels’ ballpark will once again be a baseball-only facility with the NFL Rams, who shared the facility from 1980-1994, having shifted their franchise from LA to St. Louis two years ago.

Anaheim Stadium, the Big A, gets a new name: Edison International Field of Anaheim. Edison, a utility giant, will pay $50 million over 20 years for a package that includes the name of the stadium, home to the Angels.

The Mets, 1 – 0 winners yesterday on a home run by diminutive Luis Lopez, use the long ball today to tie the Phils. New York collects four home runs in the 7th and 8th to tie at 6 apiece, then stitch six straight singles in the 10th to score 5 and win, 10 – 5. In the nitecap, the Mets lose, 2 – 1 to Darrin Winston, a 31-year-old rookie released by the Mets in the spring.

Baltimore OF Eric Davis returns to action in the Orioles’ 6 – 5 win over Cleveland only two months after having a cancerous tumor removed from his colon. Davis goes hitless in the contest, but rips a long fly out to deep right-center in his first at bat.

Ken Griffey, Jr powers homers #51 and #52 in Seattle’s 7 – 3 win over the Blue Jays. Junior has now hit 100 homers in a 2-year span, just the 6th major leaguer to do so.

The Braves beat the Giants, 5 – 4 on Fred McGriff’s 2-out, 2-run homer off Rod Beck in the 9th inning. The homer caps a 4-run rally for the 1st-place Braves.
