Perhaps the most interesting part of it was that shortly after that last pitch, TSN photographer Whatthe Hellwasthat snapped this photo showing Sutton apparently wearing a Dodger uniform. When asked about the photo post game, Sutton explained, "After that pitch, I felt my uniform melt and underneath my Angel duds were my Dodger blue baby! Sue me if ya want."

[b:3c7bc6b8e4]In other walkoff action...[/b:3c7bc6b8e4] Tiger ace Jack Morris threw a complete game for his 16th victory on the year as Lance Parrish delivered a walk off single and [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=1638]Detroit defeated Oakland, 5-4[/url].

[b:3c7bc6b8e4] In ANOTHER walkoff game...[/b:3c7bc6b8e4] White Sox second baseman Julio Cruz helped the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=1640]White Sox surpass the Royals in 10 innings, 7-6[/url].

[b:3c7bc6b8e4]There is a new leader of the NL West...[/b:3c7bc6b8e4] as the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=1632]Astros spanked the Cubs, 12-3[/url] behind strong pitching from Mark Knudson and bullpen practice provided by Cubs starter Scott Sanderson who retired just one batter and allowed 6 runs. Mr Sanderson will be receiving a portion of the playoff bonus pool should the Astros hold on to first place.

[b:3c7bc6b8e4]Meanwhile in sunny San Diego...[/b:3c7bc6b8e4] The Padres continued to kick their own asses at home and did nothing to prevent Houston from taking over first place as Rick Aguilera hurled 7 shutout innings handing Dave Dravecky and the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=1633]Padres a 3-1 loss to the Mets[/url].
