1.   And then Baerga capped a three-run ninth with a two-run single for his third and fourth runs batted in of the game.

2.   But not Monday night, after Piazza had two hits in his first three times up and three runs batted in.

3.   He also made up the run with his first major league hit -- and his first major league run batted in -- in the bottom of the second.

5.   Seven runs batted in.

6.   The hitters were rated on batting averages, home runs, runs batted in and stolen bases.

7.   The rapidly maturing second baseman Edgardo Alfonzo also had four hits and a run batted in.

8.   The Splendid Splinter set All-Star Game records with four hits, including two home runs, four runs scored and five runs batted in.

9.   They combined for five runs batted in, which, amazingly, is one fewer than Yankee left fielders mustered in June.
