Alex Milchin was tired of being the ''losing pitcher.'' Milchin's name appeared beside the LP in all six of his last decisions. Going into his start against Anaheim he made a promise to himself, ''win this one for yourself...the losing must stop here... and he went to the mound for seven innings allowed seven hits and two runs walked one struck out nine and improved his record to 4-9.
Tampa Bay scored wo runs in the seventh to tie the game 2-2. Mac Maestri singled and July Odom homered, his fourth.
Later in the eighth inning Steve Gerber (3rd) and Tim Picciuto (2) hit solo homeruns.
Anaheim did not go quietly into the night. Bruce Kim doubled in Babe Nevin. Kim tried to score on Dashel Pardo's hit but was gunned down at the plate to end the gamer.
Final 4-3 Tampa Bay.
Tapa Bay leads the AL by three games and has a three game lead on Detroit and Washington.
====================================
Oakland 4 Seattle 3

Billy Walton took the loss (8-7).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Washington 1 Detroit 0
Washington hosted Detroit in a truly crucial series that really did have pennant implications and Washington too two of three in the series.
Mark Pyle (10-3) won game one by a 7-4 score. The number five spot in Washington rotation continues to be snake bit no matter who starts there. Dave Kinder has been 0-2 since being moved into the number five slot,
Kinder's record dropped to 5-6 after Washington lost 4-2.
Game three promised to be a classic battle between two top shelf pitcher. Charles Johnson and Greg Waitkus were the headliner starters and they delivered.
Johnson hit Detroit lead off batter Pol Banta with the second pitch of the game. Then struck out Bill Martinez and breezed through the final two outs of the inning.
Watkins likewise put the lead off batter on when he walked Pat Merriam. Merriam was able to advance to second because he was running on a hit and run play that batter Duane Ahlgren grounded to second baseman Kent Cassidy.
Russell McCarthers struck out. Don Trechock hit a high fly out to center fielder Don Hayes, a sure handed fielder, who lost the ball in the afternoon sun light for a two base error that allowed Merriam to score an in-earned run but still take a 1-0 lead.
Watkins allowed three singles over the next three innings two were lead off singles to Paul Parrish in the second inning, a one out single to Duane Ahlgren in the third and a lead off bunt single by Tom Orie in the fourth inning.
Johnson allowed only one base runner (Banda on the hit batter) over the first three inning. He had some difficulty getting through the middle innings.
Hayes had a one out single in the fourth, Lennie Bean walked and Pip Jackson singled. Hayes raced around and tried to make up for his error by scoring but he was thrown out at the plate on a pin point laser beam throw by McCathers to catcher Terry Howard who put up a stone wall to block the plate and tag out the unfortunate Hayes.
Johnson struggled in the fifth inning as well allowing singles to Catcher Russ Hutson and Joe Pikturis.
Waitkus sacrified both runners along.
Banta reached base for the second time in the game without having a hit. This time he walked.
Washington brought the infield in with one out for a play at the plate. Bill Martinez struck out and Hayes once again failed to get the tying run in. Hayes grounded a Sunday hop to rookie second baseman Wally Stone making his first start, third major league game. Stone threw him out, took a deep breath, and sprinted off the field.
Stone was the middleman in a double play the next inning when Kent Cassidy hit a one hopper to Paul Parrish at shortstop. Parrish's throw forced Lennie Bean who had a lead off single.
Watkins left after six inning because of fatigue having allowed four hits and one unearned run, two walks and seven strikeouts.
Alex Colpaert took over for the final two innings and allowed no hits and recorded one strikeout.
Johnson went eight innings allowed five hits no runs two walks and nine strikeout.
With the win Washington is tied with Detroit in second place three games behind Tampa.
