Great Effort by Belle Wasted in 9-8 Senators Loss
Washington first baseman Albert Belle was sensational. He was 3-3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Arizona beat the Senators, 9-8. Belle was named the player of the game despite the loss. Mike Harkey picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-2. Scott Ruskin was tagged with the loss. The current losing streak for Washington has reached 4 games.

Arizona grabbed a 9-8 lead in the top of the eighth when Butch Huskey hit a run-scoring single. For the day, Huskey was 1-4.

"What a game," said Huskey. "We needed every last run."
