On July 2, 1994 Seattle OF Ken Griffey Jr. leads the Mariners to a 12 – 6 win over the Yankees by getting five singles.
The Indians beat the Royals, 11 – 9, in a wild 10-inning game. Benches clear in the 3rd inning after Kansas City’s Jonathan Sanchez plunks Shin-Soo Choo, and again in the bottom of the frame when Jeanmar Gomez hits Mike Moustakas. Gomez is immediately ejected by home plate umpire Gary Darling, as are Indians manager Manny Acta and 3B Jack Hannahan, the first player to join the fray. The Indians then proceed to blow a 9 – 2 lead, with the Royals scrapping runs here and there until Yuniesky Betancourt ties the game with a solo homer off Vinnie Pestano in the 8th.
