#494---CLE @ MIN, 4/10/1999

 

The Indians got three-run homers from Manny Ramirez and Richie Sexson in the first to lead Benj Sampson 6-0, but Dwight Gooden coughed most of it right back up, getting just two outs to Sampson’s three. Both teams got good long relief outings; Minnesota’s Mike Lincoln gave up one run in five innings and Cleveland’s Steve Karsay one run in 5 1/3, making it 7-6 Cleveland before a five-run outburst in the eighth powered by four doubles (Travis Fryman, Sandy Alomar, Omar Vizquel, Roberto Alomar) put the Tribe back in control. Minnesota got a run off Jerry Spradlin in the ninth to make the final score 12-7.
