Seattle Slew
This must have been the least tense pitchers’ duel ever. Aaron Cook and Kevin Millwood were throwing 90-MPH salad, as Dennis Eckersley would call it. Cook had the most strikeouts in an outing this season with a surprising five punchouts. In the fourth a spate of singles with a walk mixed in did him in, death by a slew of singles.
Don Orsillo had another chance at a foul ball and this time appeared to make a sporting try. But in reality the ball was too far to make a play so he could mimic fielding competence.
