Second baseman Ron Belliard launched 2 homeruns and Bob Howry came through
with a solid 3 and one third innings as the Cleveland Indians topped the
Seattle Mariners by a score of 6 to 5 at SAFECO Field.
 
Cleveland scored 3 runs in the top of the 7th inning when they had 3 base
hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Ben Broussard who disappointed
the partisan crowd when he cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 2nd
of the season).  Seattle made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to
push the needed runs across.  
 
The victory went to Rafael Betancourt(1-1) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Bob Wickman earned his 1st save.  Jeff Harris(0-2) ended up with the
loss.  He gave up 4 runs and 3 hits in 6 and 2/3 innings.

Orioles defeated the Boston Redsox by a score of 5 to 2 at Camden
Yards.

Palmeiro who made the Baltimore fans a happy lot when he bombed a two-run
dinger (his 3rd of the season).  Baltimore banged out 9 hits on the
afternoon.  
 
The win went to Erik Bedard(1-0) who allowed 1 run in 6 and 2/3 innings.

Manny Ramirez slammed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and Bronson Arroyo allowed Andy
Virostek to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game as the Boston Redsox
topped the Baltimore Orioles by a score of 8 to 2 at Fenway Park.
 
It was a good day for Boston thanks to Ramirez.  He smashed a bases-empty
'big-fly' in the 1st inning and delivered a solo blast (his 5th of the
season) in the 4th inning.  Boston banged out 7 hits on the night.  
 
The victory went to Arroyo(1-1) who went the distance allowing 2 runs. Rodrigo
Lopez(1-1) was given the loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering 5
runs in 4 and 1/3 innings.
