MLB Game Of The Day
Friday May 17,1985
AT
Comiskey Park,Chicago,Ill.

Thanks to huge days at the plate by 1B Cliff Johnson, who was 2 for 4 with 2 homers and 5 RBI and C Geno Petralli who was 3 for 5 with a triple and 5 RBI the Rangers jumped all over the White Sox,scoring early and often in a 16-4 rout of the hometown Pale Hose.Comforted by a huge early lead,Rangers starter Charlie Hough(6-2) cruised through the game,going the distance,and allowing 4 runs on 5 hits and a walk while fanning 4.Taking the loss for Chicago was starter Joel Davis(1-2), who lasted just 2 innings,allowing 7 runs on 5 hits and a walk.On an odd note,of the Sox 5 hits off of Hough,4 of them were homers,2 by Carlton Fisk,and one each by Rudy Law and Tim Hulett.

Today's Injuries

Padres reliever Tim Stoddard has a sore hamstring and will be out for 2 days.

White Sox relief pitcher Steve Fireovid has a mild hamstring strain and will be out for about 5 days.

MLB News And Notes
Mired in last place with a record of 11-23,the Montreal Expos have decided to make a change.In a hastily called press conference,Montreal GM Murray Cook announced the firing of manager Buck Rodgers to the shock of just about everyone in the Montreal area.A replacement has yet to be named.

Following a 4th inning RBI single by C Alan Knicely that put the Reds ahead of Pittsburgh 3-2,it was shutdown time again,as the Reds staff held the Pirates to just 2 singles the rest of the way,preserving the 3-2 victory and giving Cincinnati their 9th win in their last 10 games.
