There was no rest for the weary on this day - while most of the league had this Monday off, four AL teams were duty-bound to play ball.
Both Dave Stewart and Mike Witt impressed early. There was no scoring until the bottom of the fourth. Doug DeCinces led of with a triple and later scored on a Juan Beniquez double. Califonia tacked on two more when Rob Picciolo reached on a fielding error and then scored on a yet another Brian Downing homer. Downing has been torrid of late.
The wheels came completely off for Stewart in the sixth after walking Picciolo with the bases loaded. Dickie Noles replaced him but gave up a 2-RBI double to Rod Carew. That's all Mike Witt needed, as he went the distance for a complete game shutout with eight K's.
