Joyner Hits 2000th Career Hit, Kent back in RBI race
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Atlanta Braves' Wally Joyner followed up
his 200th career homer with his 2,000th career hit this past week. The 15-year
veteran is the 213th player to reach the 2,000 career hits mark. But Joyner
was again relgated to backup 1st baseman this week as the Brave's Andres
Gallaraga returned from the disabled list.
Meanwhile, Giant's second baseman Jeff Kent, like Joyner an LDS
Church member, bounced back from a post-All-Star game slump and got 12 hits
in 23 at bats (.522) in the first six days of August. He hit two home runs
and collected 9 RBIs during those games, bringing Kent's season total to
98, second place and just 3 behind Chicago's Sammy Sosa's National
League-leading total and just 5 behind the major league-leading total
of Seattle's Edgar Martinez.
Cardinal Pitcher Garrett Stephenson also fared better this week,
getting a complete-game shut-out of the Atlanta Braves. While relief pitcher
Mike Fetters had a mixed week, winning one game and loosing another, while
managing a mediocre 5.40 ERA.
In golf, PGA tour members Mike Reid and Mike Weir both landed in the
money in The International tournament, Weir finishing 19th and Reid 24th.
And Senior tour member Bruce Summerhays finished 17th in the Coldwell
Banker Burnet Classic.
