WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Charles Johnson blocked the plate, saving a run!



One run was the difference at Enron Field as the Toronto club defeated the

Pittsburgh Pirates in 10 innings 3 to 2.



The score was tied at 1 after nine. Toronto was victorious in the 10th

inning. Charles Johnson began things off when he smashed a bases-empty

'big-fly' (his 13th of the season). After an out was recorded, Brian Roberts

came to the plate and banged out a single. Miguel Cabrera then stroked a

single. Frank Thomas struck out, unable to help the rally. Vernon Wells

stepped into the box and hit a single resulting in an exciting win for

Toronto and a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans. Both

teams ended up with 11 on the night.



Danny Graves(3-3) went 2 innings allowing 1 run for the victory. Danys

Baez(1-1) took the loss in relief. He pitched 1 and 1/3 innings allowing 4

hits and no walks.

White Sox Trading Players



Chicago (AP) - The White Sox, struggling through a rough 2003 season, decided to part ways with
two popular players and build for the future.
In separate deals, Chicago sent catcher A. J. Pierzynski to Arizona for a pair of draft picks. The fiery catcher is currently hitting .352 in 58 games played. Last season, A.J., hit .307 with 6 HR's and 56 RBI's in 126 games while playing for the Sox.


Then, righty reliver David Weathers was sent to Philadelphia in exchange for Scott Hatteberg. Draft picks were also traded. Weathers has a 1-4 mark with a 5.34 ERA this season. David was 4-1 with a 4.60 ERA in 76 innings pitched last season for Chicago.
