Highlights:
This one’s easy. Eighth inning, two Royals on base, the
light-hitting Greg Gagne up to bat, and a 25-to-1 wager against
him leaving the Yard. Going, going, gone! And to put salt
in the wound, Luis Polonia fakes everyone out into thinking that
he actually caught it. Sorry, Shamu. Pay up.

Highlights:
Tony Gwynn went 3-for-3 and recorded his 2000th hit, leading the
way to Benes’ thirteenth win and Hoffman’s third save. Dante
Bichette patrolled the outfield with all of the grace and aplomb
of Lonnie Smith, butchering several plays in right field before
our very eyes.
