Carter, who wasn’t around to talk after Toronto’s 8-4 loss to Milwaukee, got nailed in the shoulder by Jaime Navarro (4-4). He fell, got up, and started toward the mound. : The benches and bullpens emptied and the game was delayed about 10 minutes. The action aroused the Sky Dome crowd of 50,376, who had been dormant watching the Jays get drubbed. : “He said they were throwing at Him,” said Toronto manager Cito Gaston. “As a player, you know when you’ve been thrown at.” In other American League games Wednesday, it was: the Baltimore Orioles 7, Seattle Mariners 1; Cleveland Indians 4, Oakland "Athletics 2; Texas Rangers 4, Chicago While Sox 3 in 11 innings; Minnesota Twins 5, New York Yankees 1; Boston Red Sox 4, California Angels 3 in 10 innings; and Detroit Tigers 11, Kansas City Royals 2. “They came out of the dugout and went after Joe,” added Gaston, who said he had punches thrown at him by Milwaukee pitching coach Don Rowe. “You go out there to stop the fights, not start them.” But Navarro denied any wrongdoing, saying only the pitch got away. “He (Carter) was yelling ‘Second time’,” said Navarro. “I said I don’t care. , “A 5-0 game (at the time), I :didn’t jvant to throw at Carter. It’s •illogical. He just took it the wrong way.” Kosc issued warnings to both pitchers. In the sixth, Toronto’s Todd Joe Carter Is restrained by Brewers' catcher B.J.

Expos, Astros play hardball Stottlemyre (4-4) who was roughed up for the second game in a row, let an inside pitch get away on Paul Molitor, who’d hit a two-run homer in the first. Revenge? Stottlemyre, ejected after the pitch, said no and Molitor agreed. Mariners 7 Orioles 1 In Seattle, Erik Hanson (2-7) allowed only four hits in 6 1/3 innings to stop his six-game losing streak, and Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez, who smacked a three-run shot, homered for the Mariners. Rangers 4 White Sox 3 Kevin Reimer’s two-out double for Texas scored Juan Gonzalez, who had walked, all the way from first base off Donn Pall (2-1) in the bottom of the 11th. Indians 4 A's 2 Paul Sorrento homered twice off Dave Stewart (3-5) and Albert Belle also homered off the fourtime 20-game winner as Cleveland completed a three-game sweep in Oakland.

I didn’t get anyone out after the warning, so what difference does it make if I get thrown out?” The Astros, trailing 7-1 at that stage, began to feel more secure at the plate as the first five batters in the sixth inning reached base. Padres 8 Pirates 7 Darrin Jackson doubled in the tying run with one out in the bottom of the ninth and pinch-hitter Craig Shipley singled with the bases loaded against the reeling Pirates. Giants 6 Cubs 2 In Chicago John Burkett (5-1) by Canadian Press Old-fashioned, brush-’em-back hardball was much in evidence Wednesday as the Montreal Expos ended a three-game losing skid with an 8-5 victory over the Houston Astros. A central figure in the developments was Expos right-hander Dennis Martinez, accused by Astros manager Art Howe of throwing head high to the first three Houston batters he faced. “He throws inside, we throw inside,” declared Howe. “You live by the sword, you die by the sword.” The sword came close to Martinez’s mid-section in the fifth inning, when Astros reliever Xavier Hernandez moved him off the plate with a fastball. Earlier in the inning, Hernandez had plunked Tim Wallach on the shoulder with a rising fastball. After Martinez was almost hit he moved toward the mound, a bat in his hand for pan of the way. Hernandez yelled a few words and gestured toward Martinez, as both benches emptied. Players converged near the pitcher’s mound, but apart from a bit of shoving, no punches were thrown and order was restored, allowed six hits and one run in six innings for his fifth consecutive win. He has allowed one run in his last 20 innings. Reds 1 Mets 0 Tim Belcher (4-5) allowed only three hits in 8 1*3 innings, while Darnell Coles's two-out single in the seventh scored Barry Larkin, who doubled off Sid Fernandez (3-5), with the game’s only run. Dodgers 9 Cardinals 2 Todd Benzinger hit a third-inning grand slam and Eric Karros smacked a three-run homer in the ninth. The Dodgers have won eight of their last 12 games. Braves 9 Phillies 3 In Philadelphia, where 23,695 watched, Tom Glavine (7-3) became the NL’s first seven-game winner and light-hitting Lonnie Smith, starting his first game since April 22, drove in two runs. The White Sox visit Texas at 5:30 this afternoon on WGN (cable 23). PROTEST UPHELD Victory doesn’t last long against the Toronto Blue Jays, grounded out twice, against Coach’s Wednesday. Rossi said the issue might go before Baseball B.C. if it cannot be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. Negus disagrees with Rossi. “No, we didn’t have an agreement,” said Negus. “Rocky came by work and asked if I’d trade him. I said I’d think about it because he’s a good player and I wanted some quality players for him. He called me back and I advised him he shouldn’t play him because I wanted to keep him.” Negus said his team made a trade earlier in the year and both coaches agreed on it and it then went before the league and Nadalin for approval. “Yes,” he said, “The league must approve it.” Negus said his concern is, like Nadalin’s, for parity. Johansen could not be reached for comment. Horswell feels the whole affair is being blown out of proportion. “I thought Greg and Rocky had agreed,” said Horswell. “I got a call from Frank saying I could play for them. “It’s frustrating, actually. It’s just a beer league and I thought everybody was supposed to have fun. I didn’t think there was going to be anything to worry about.” Horswell said he desired to switch teams simply because he knows several of the Timbermen players better and thought it would be more fun to play with them. He has the option of playing for other teams in other towns, but added “I’d like to stay here and play. I just wanted to come back and relax and have fun.” ■ In senior Babe Ruth, Northern Thunderbird Air two runs in the extra inning to take a 12-10 win over Centre City Petroleum. After a seesaw six innings, Ricky Ghostkeeper scored the winner in the top of the seventh after walking. Chad Douette scored an insurance run and the defence shut by LEE ANDERSON Citizen Staff The Spruceland Inn Timbermen scored a 1-0 shutout over the Coach’s Comer Royals in senior men’s baseball Wednesday, but then lost the game. The Royals protested because Spruceland played Craig Horswell, a National Baseball Institute player, who is signed with his former team the Coast Power Train Dodgers. “The Royals launched a successful protest after the game,” said league president Angelo Nadalin. “There was a bunch of bickering about playing him before the game and Spruceland went ahead and played him anyway.” Nadalin ruled in favor of Coach’s, stating league constitution rules were violated. Coach’s was awarded the 1-0 victory. The defending champion Timbermen remain atop the standings. Nadalin expressed disaproval with what he considerd the Timbermen’s desire to stack their team. When asked his opinion of why Horswell chose to play with : the Timbermen instead of his own ;team Nadalin responded: “Because ; -they are on top. They’ve won the ' league for the last five of years or ! so and they still want all the best players.” ;• He intends his message to be a "clear warning that he, or the league, won’t indulge rule bending. “The league will not stand for this kind of action and the team in violation will be penalized and fined according to our league rules of conduct.” Nadalin said the fine is S50. Former Timbermen coach Frank Rossi said new coach Rocky Johansen and Coast Power Train’s coach Greg Negus were in verbal agreement about making a trade for Horswell. “It was between two teams and two coaches,” said Rossi. “I don’t think it concerns him (Nadalin) at all. Rocky negotiated a deal and he told me Greg said he could play if you really needed him.” Horswell, who got a hit in the NBI’s annual wrap-up game down CCP in the bottom of the eighth.
