HOUSTON 9, FLORIDA 5

HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston hitters made Tony McKnight's second
major league start a bit easier than his first.

McKnight, boosted by some early support, got his first career
victory and Julio Lugo homered as the Astros beat the Florida
Marlins 9-5 Tuesday night before 27,408, the smallest crowd at
Enron Field since it opened in April.

"I was antsy and nervous, but we got some runs early and that
threw the nerves out the window," McKnight said.

McKnight (1-1), recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, was
backed by an early 8-0 lead. He allowed two runs -- one earned --
and five hits in five innings. It was his second major league
start.

"I was more nervous this start than the first one," McKnight
said. "I didn't think about the hitters, I just tried to make
pitches. I knew I had a good defense behind me."

McKnight's approach was simple.

"I didn't try to trick anyone, I just tried to get my fastball
over and mix in some changeups," he added.

Lugo was 3-for-5 with two runs scored.

Reid Cornelius (3-8) was tagged for eight runs and eight hits in
3 1/3 innings. He is 0-6 in 11 starts since July 2.

"I didn't have a good night. I got behind the hitters and left
the ball over the middle of the plate," Cornelius said. "They did
what they are supposed to do, hit the ball real hard."

Houston took a 3-0 lead in the first on Moises Alou's RBI single
and Richard Hidalgo's two-run single, and Lugo's solo homer made
it 4-0 in the second. The Astros added four runs in the fourth on
RBI singles by Tim Bogar and Lugo and a two-run triple by Billy
Spiers.

"This was his poorest outing of the season. He just didn't have
it tonight," Marlins manager John Boles said of Cornelius.

Florida cut it to 8-2 in the fifth when Mark Kotsay hit an RBI
double and scored on a fielding error by first baseman Jeff
Bagwell.

"I thought he had a good fastball and changeup," Astros manager
Larry Dierker said of McKnight. "Usually after a whil the other
club will expect you to make some mitakes with the fastball, but
he didn't make many tonight."

Bagwell had an RBI single in the sixth, but Mike Lowell hit a
two-run homer in the seventh and Kevin Millar homered in the
eighth.

NEW YORK 10, KANSAS CITY 5

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - David Cone rolled in agony on the same
field where he first hit the big leagues, scant yards away from
the pitcher's mound where he once won a Cy Young Award.

His first thought: pain. His second: that here, in his hometown,
in front of his friends and family, his long major league career
might finally have been done in by his own hustle.

The New York Yankees right-hander separated his left shoulder in
the third inning of Tuesday night's 10-5 win over the Kansas City
Royals, when he landed wrong after making a diving catch on Rey
Sanchez's bunt. After having the shoulder popped back in, and
after an X-ray didn't show any damage, Cone was already
speculating about a possible return to the Yankees' lineup.

"Maybe I can still come back," he said. "Maybe there's a chance I
can still get something done this year. I really can't tell at
this point."

Cone, a Kansas City native who won the 1994 AL Cy Young during
his second stint with the Royals, was scheduled for an MRI exam
on Wednesday.

"He said, 'I'm ready Sunday,' but we know better than that," said
Yankees manager Joe Torre, whose injury-plagued team maintained
its six-game lead over second-place Boston in the AL East. "I'm
just pleased that they were able to get (the shoulder) back in
even before they left for the hospital."

Cone went down too early in Tuesday's game to get the win, but
reliever Dwight Gooden (6-4) never lost the Yankees' early lead.
He replaced Cone immediately after the injury and pitched through
the eighth, giving up three runs on seven hits with a walk and a
strikeout. Mike Stanton pitched the ninth, giving up Mike
Sweeney's sacrifice fly.

"A situation like that is tough," Gooden said. "You just go as
hard as you can for as long as you can."

No. 9 hitter Jose Vizcaino went 4-for-5 and Scott Brosius hit an
eighth-inning grand slam for the Yankees. Brosius' drive off
reliever Andy Larkin splashed into the fountains beyond the
left-field wall and made it 10-4.

"He's cuffling," Royals manager Tony Muser said of Larkin. "He's
got a good sinker that sometimes doesn't sink, and he's got a
good breaking ball that sometimes breaks horizontally instead of
vertically."

David Justice homered and drove in two runs for the Yankees, who
beat Kansas City for the seventh time in eight games this season.
Carlos Beltran, making his first start since he went down with a
bruised knee on July 3, went 2-for-4 and drove in a run for the
Royals. Jeff Suppan (7-9) gave up five runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3
innings, striking out three and walking four.

SAN FRANCISCO 8, PHILADELPHIA 5

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Barry Bonds didn't stick around to talk
about yet another historic night. He let his bat do the talking.
Bonds hit two home runs for the second consecutive game and the
San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5 Tuesday
night to open a season-high 6 1/2-game lead in the NL West.

"Barry is locked in," Giants manager Dusty Baker said. "You can
tell because he's hitting it the other way and straightaway. It's
great to see Barry swing the bat so well. It was a weird game. A
lot transpired."

Bill Mueller hit the go-ahead homer in the seventh inning, and
Rich Aurilia, Ellis Burks and J.T. Snow also homered for the
Giants, who won their seventh straight game to extend their lead
over Arizona. The six homers were the most for San Francisco
since hitting six on May 4, 1963, at the Polo Grounds against the
New York Mets.

"Balls were falling out because the wind wasn't blowing," said
Aurilia. "It seemed like every one of our homers was a big one."

Bonds has 43 homers on the season, his most since hitting a
career-high 46 in 1993. It's also the 46th multihomer game of his
career, tying him with Harmon Killebrew and Mickey Mantle for
ninth on the career list.

"Barry is hot and he's been boosting us," said Burks, who had a
season-high four hits. "But everybody is contributing and we need
that. This is as much fun as I've had in a long time."

John Johnstone (3-4) pitched one hitless inning for his first win
since April 29. Robb Nen pitched a scoreless ninth for his 35th
save in 40 opportunities, and a major league best 22nd straight.

With one out in the seventh, Mueller hit the first pitch from Ed
Vosberg (1-1) for his ninth homer to break a 5-all tie. Bonds
followed with his second homer of the night, knocking out
Vosberg.

"I was just trying to get ahead on Mueller and left it over the
plate," Vosberg said. "Bonds hit a slider that didn't break. I
was a little surprised he went to left field, but that's why he's
such a great hitter. He hasn't won a couple MVP awards for
nothing."

The Phillies, who stranded 12 runners, lost their season-high
seventh straight. Giants starter Kirk Rueter allowed three runs
and six hits in five innings. Phillies starter Kent Bottenfield
allowed five runs -- four earned -- and seven hits in six
innings.

The Phillies' Pat Burrell hit his 14th homer, tying him with
Houston's Mitch Meluskey for most among NL rookies.

TEXAS 2, CHICAGO 1

CHICAGO (AP) - The Texas Rangers aren't going anywhere once the
season ends, but they're making the possible road to the playoffs
for the Chicago White Sox a bumpy one.

"We know where the White Sox are," Rangers manager Johnny Oates
said after Tuesday night's 2-1 victory over Chicago, giving Texas
wins in the first two games of the four-game series.

"We've got some pride at stake. We've had an effort like this all
year, but lately the results have been there."

The struggling Rangers have won three straight, their longest
since capturing four in a row July 25-28.

Chad Curtis hit a two-out RBI single in the ninth after Chicago
shortstop Jose Valentin started the inning by committing his 31st
error of the season.

The loss narrowed the White Sox's lead over Cleveland in the AL
Central to 6 1/2 games, their smallest lead since June 21. The
Indians beat Tampa Bay on Tuesday and face the White Sox in a
crucial three-game series this coming weekend at Jacobs field

"Obviously you think about it, you see what they're doing,"
Chicago manager Jerry Manuel said. "We're going to be fine. We've
played good baseball for a period of time and so has Cleveland.
This is what a pennant race is all about."

Pinch-hitter Rusty Greer reached to start the ninth when Valentin
backhanded his ball in the hole and threw low to first where
first baseman Paul Konerko couldn't hold on to the very catchable
one-hopper.

"It wasn't an easy play for me or for Paul," Valentin said. "I
backhanded it, tried to set and throw."

After a fielder's choice and fly out, Luis Alicea fouled off four
pitches from Bobby Howry (2-4) before singling and then Curtis
hit a 3-2 pitch to left to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.

"I didn't want to walk Curtis and load the bases with (Rafael)
Palmeiro coming up," Howry said. "I challenged him and he won
this time. That's the way it goes."

Jonathan Johnson (1-0) pitched two shutout innings for his first
major league win and John Wetteland got three outs for his 30th
sve, striking out Charles Johnson with runners at first and
second.

The White Sox got their only run, off Darren Oliver, in the
bottom of the fourth on singles by Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Lee
and a double-play grounder by Herbert Perry.
