After the second beaning, his face froze in that position, prompting rumors of a botox implant.

Six 1 run games, three 2 run games, a 5-2 game and two games ending 6-2 marked a very tight evening where many games could have gone either way. In the only game not decided by less than 4 runs, the Red Sox finally found a reason to celebrate as Bruce Hurst threw a complete game, [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=440]striking out 10 Rangers[/url] to help Boston over Texas 11-3.

[b:27f7867024]Injury notes:[/b:27f7867024] Ruben Sierra was [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=440]taken out of the first inning[/url] after getting dirt in his eye while watching a strike three call. He's expected back tomorrow... In the same game, Gary Ward left in the 4th after tripping over first while rounding the bag after his single. He'll likely sit out the rest of the weekend while contemplating the fact he's not supposed to stretch singles into doubles... Darrell Evans left in the 4th[url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=440] after striking out[/url] while dodging a Mike Witt fastball aimed at his head. His neck pain expects to subside in 24 hours or so... Lance Parrish also left that game in the 8th after getting hit by Gary Lucas instead of Mike Witt, laughing uncontrolably and pulling a stomach muscle. 24 hours of bedrest and replays of the two beanings of Alan Trammell will have Lance on a quick rebound... Harold Baines is expected to miss 2 games after [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=440]lining out in the second inning[/url]. The injury is not serious as smacking yourself on the head with your bat after leading off an inning, tends to keep you off the DL most of the time... Padre manager [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/Sykes25/]Adam DeCicco[/url] is expected to miss about 5 hours of sleep after his Padres team lost to [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/teams/team.php?id=24769]Bernie Who[/url]?
