The Braves’ infielders look inept when they let an infield pop-up drop between them in the 9th inning of a 15 – 4 victory over the Giants. But SS Ozzie Guillen turns the miscue into an unusual foul ball. The towering pop by J.T. Snow falls on the pitcher’s mound when second baseman Bret Boone calls off the other infielders, then can’t reach the ball. Guillen lets it bounce toward the third-base line. As soon as it is in foul territory, he grabs the ball, turning it into a foul. Snow then flies out.

Cleveland Indians starters show up for a “pitching clinic” during a doubleheader sweep of the Boston Red Sox at Cleveland Stadium. Veteran Bob Feller pitches hitless ball for 6+ innings and hurls his major league record 12th one-hitter in a 2 – 0 victory in the opener, and in the nitecap rookie Herb Score strikes out the first nine batters (for a total of 16) en route to a 2 – 1 four-hit victory.
