1.   Hernandez threw a sidearm slider to Sandy Alomar, who stretched his arms to reach the ball out of the strike zone.

2.   Omar Vizquel singled and stole second, and with two out, Manny Ramirez coaxed a walk from Hernandez, who initially was having trouble controlling his sidearm slider.

3.   The fans stood and screamed for another strikeout, and got it, when Rodriguez flailed pathetically at another sidearm slider.

4.   Three sidearm sliders.

5.   I threw a sidearm slider off the plate to get to the next pitch.
