NL SPOTLIGHT  


   Reds top Dodgers in 13 innings
Eric Gagne was stunned, then enraged. Ejected for hitting Adam Dunn in the ninth inning of a close game Thursday, the Dodgers closer lost his cool, kicked his glove and threw his cap. Two hours later, Los Angeles was seething over a loss.

ATHLETICS LATEST  
Contra Costa Times
   A's bullpen does the job
In the same situation a few days ago, A's fans may have shivered when they took a look at the middle of the Detroit Tigers batting order. With the unsightly performance the A's were getting from their left-handed relievers, the four consecutive solid left-handed batters in the Tigers lineup wouldn't exactly have been a recipe for Oakland success.


GIANTS LATEST  
Mercury News
   Long, short of it: Giants lose again
Damon Minor got all of one and he still got nothing. The ball rebelled. It refused to leave the park, despite a baseball tradition that says a ball crushed with all the might of a 6-foot-7, 230-pound man really ought to leave the ballpark.

AL SPOTLIGHT  


   Everett welcomes former teammates with two home runs
Texas Rangers outfielder Carl Everett lingered on the field after batting practice Thursday, greeting and chatting with some of his former Red Sox teammates. There seemed no evidence of lingering animosity over his turbulent two years in Boston.

GAME SUMMARIES  

Expos' Guerrero Makes Schilling Pay
Curt Schilling challenged Vladimir Guerrero one time too many.

Everett's 7 RBIs Jolt Red Sox
After going on a home run binge against his former team, Carl Everett was the model of diplomacy.

Mariners 10, Indians 6
Ben Davis was almost embarrassed he hit a home run. So he ran around the bases as fast as he could.

Athletics Top Tigers, 5-3
Eric Chavez homered twice as the Oakland Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Thursday night.

Twins 6, White Sox 0
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire wasn't about to take Eric Milton out after the eighth inning, even though the Minnesota starter had thrown about 120 pitches.

Expos beat Schilling, Diamondbacks
Vladimir Guerrero hit his second game-ending homer against Arizona this series, connecting with one out in the ninth inning off Curt Schilling to give the Montreal Expos a 2-1 victory over the Diamondbacks on Thursday night.

Orioles Upset Devil Rays 4-3
Chris Richard homered again and Sidney Ponson won for the second time in 12 starts as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 4-3 Thursday night.

Phillies 2, Giants 1
Randy Wolf is back - and so is his confidence. The left-hander threw seven strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies scored two runs on a pair of fielder's choices in the seventh inning to beat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 Thursday night.

Rockies 3, Pirates 0
Colorado rookie Jason Jennings doesn't have a shutout or a complete game since his major league debut last year. Maybe that's why the last thing he expected was to flirt with the first no-hitter in Rockies history.

Red Sox Release Offerman to Add Floyd
The Boston Red Sox released Jose Offerman on Thursday to make room for Cliff Floyd and must pay the first baseman more than $4.1 million that remains on his contract.
