In the seventh he walks two and strikes out his record setting 11th batter before leaving for a reliever, who allows both runners to score sticking Gooden with a no decision. San Antonio loses its first game of the season, as Honus Wagner's multi hit game streak comes to an end at 4. He promptly started a new one the following game.

Walter Johnson pitches a complete game and Larry Walker drives in his first runs of the season with a bases loaded 3 run double in the fifth, sealing the deal. Omaha's 1st loss of the year was the direct result of the two players on the pre-season trade block in 3B Jimmy Collins (Error) and CL Mo Rivera (3 unearned runs).....Team spokesman was quoted as saying: "We are investigating these team leaks, the players shouldn't have even known."
