Astros pound Giants,
sweep 3-game series
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
A three-day hitting spree at
Candlestick Paik has the last-
place Houston Astros thinking
about getting back into the pen-
nant race.
“Anything can happen now,”
said third baseman Ken Cami-
niti, who drove in four runs with
a double and homer in the
Astros’ 14-6 victory over the
Giants Thursday night.
For the time being, what hap-
pened at Candlestick Park is in-
credible enough. The Astros
outscored the Giants 30-11 and
pulled to within a game of fifth
place with their first sweep Tft
San Francisco since 1972, - -
“Who knows? We might be
able to win a bunch of games in
a row and be right in the hunt,”
Caminiti said. “I’ve seen it hap-
pen in the minors. We just need
to keep hitting like we did in
these games.”
Pitching has not been a prob-
lem for the Astros, whose team
ERA is 2.52 over the last 22
games. Dariyl Kile (3-2) won
his third straight start, giving up
three runs in seven innings.
“From the time we’ve put him
in the rotation, he’s given us a
chance to win,” Houston mana-
ger Art Howe said.
“Maybe what happened in
this, series will carry over into
the second half,” said Howe.
“Whatever we do is a plus, be-
cause we weren’t supposed to
do anything this season.”
It was over early. The Giants
were down 6-0 after five innings
as Trevor Wilson (4-7) gave up
a two-run double and two-run
homer to Caminiti.
Casey Candaele hit his third
homer of the road trip and drove
in four runs for Houston. Can-
daele entered the road trip hav-
ing hit just four homers in 1,165
major league at-bats.
Jeff Bagwell went 3-fer-5;
with a triple and three runs
scored for the Astros. The
Giants scored their runs when
the game was well out of hand,
on homers by Kevin Mitchell,
Terry Kennedy and Matt
Williams.
Greg Litton pitched the ninth
inning for the Giants after Craig
apparently decided nobody else
on the staff could get the Astros
out. He became the first position
player to pitch in a game for the;
Giants since Dave Kingman1
threw two innings against the-
Dodgers in 1973.
Astros picked for All-Stars
Astros Craig Biggio and Pete Hamisch were selected to the Na-
tional League All-Star team as reserves Thursday by Cincinnati
Reds manager Lou Piniella.
Biggio, who finished second in the all-star balloting behind San
Diego’s Benito Santiago, is batting .327 for the season with three
home runs and 18 RBI. *
Hamisch has a 5-6 record on the season but has been the victim of
poor run support from his batters. His ERA is 2.32, fourth-best in
the NL, and he has held opposing batters to a .196 batting average.
Being chosen to play in Tuesday’s All-Star game in Toronto
means a little extra money in the pocket for both players. HamisCh’s
contract includes a $25,000 bonus for making the all-star team while
Biggio will receive $15,000 by making the squad.
Ex-champion Holmes
may fight in Houston
HOUSTON (AP) — Negoti-
ations are under way for Larry
Holmes to stage a second come-
back fight in Houston Aug. 3
against journeyman Eddie Gon-
zales.
If the Holmes fight comes
off, it would be his second since
coming out of retirement in
April. The former champion
scored a first-round knockout
over Tim Anderson at Holly-
wood, Fla., in his comeback
fight in mid-April.
Holmes, the former WBC and
IBF heavyweight champ, would
be the main attraction on a
seven-bout card to be staged
Aug. 3.
Holmes, 41, who resumed his
career after a nearly four-year
hiatus, was scheduled to fight
Gonzales on June 22 at Texas
Southern University. But con-
tractual difficulties forced
cancellation of that card. #
When Holmes failed to com-
ply with the Texas State Boxing
Commission’s medical stan-
dards, a second proposed date of
July 20 was postponed.
Now, the fight has been
pushed back to Aug. 3 if a site
can be found, promoter Jason
Schlessinger said.
“We’re negotiating with The
Summit, the Astroarena, the
Brown Convention Center and
Sam Houston Coliseum,”
Schlessinggr said.
Schlessinger, a businessman
based in Beverly Hills, Calif.,
left Houston on Wednesday for
the Bahamas for the holiday
weekend. He is expected to
return to Houston this weekend
and resumeijgegotiations.
Schlessinjpr said Holmes met
with members of the state box-
ing commission’s Medical
Advisory Board on June 27.
Doctors conducted an extensive
battery of medical exams and
oral testing before giving the
OK to fight, Schlessinger said.
Fighters over age 35 are
required to undergo rigorous
medical testing before being
registered to fight in Texas.
WIMBLEDON, England
(AP) — Jim Courier was over-
powered. Jennifer Capriati and
Mary Joe Fernandez lost
quickly. David Wheaton played
poorly but won. Andre Agassi
hobbled to defeat
Wimbledon’s Centre Court
was no picnic for five Ameri-
cans on the Fourth of July.
A Thursday that had started
with three, Americans in the
men’s quarterfinals and two in
the women’s semis finished with
one left in the tournament —
and he survived only by beating
another American.
By the end of the day, order
had been restored to Wimbledon
— the top two seeds were in the
women’s final, while Boris
Becker and Stefan Edberg were
on course for another showdown
in the men’s final.
Steffi Graf, the women’s .top
seed and a two-time champion,
defeated Fernandez 6-2, 6-4 in
the semifinals and will face
second-seeded Gabriela Sabatini
in Saturday’s final.
Sabatini, who has defeated
Graf five straight times and beat
her in the final of the U.S. i
last September, won her sei
nal 64, 64 over Capriati.
Courier, the men's fourth
seed, lost 6-3, 7-6, 6-2 to Mi-
chael Stich, a skinhy 6-foot-4
German who gave Courier the
full treatment — 15 aces, feath-
ery lobs, sharp passing shots and
angled volleys.
Stich earned a semifinal berth
against Edberg, the defending
champion, who won his quarter-
final 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 against
Thierry Champion and still has
not lost a set m the tournament.
Becker, who has played Ed-
berg in the last three finals,
struggled for four hours before
defeating seventh-seeded Guy
Forget 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, 7-6.
Becker advanced to a semifi-
nal against Wheaton, who sur-
vived a battle of attrition with
Agassi. By the end of the five-
set match, Wheaton had a sore
ankle and Agassi was limping
due to a thigh injury.
Wheaton slumped in the
middle of the 6-2, 0-6, 3-6, 7-6,
6-2 victory and was two points
from losing in the fourth set, but
Agassi let him off the hook.
