1.   David Bell singled to start the bottom of the fifth, and Kenny Lofton turned on a low slider and launched it into the right field stands.

2.   Lofton chased a low slider and slapped it up the middle for a two-run single.

3.   Maybe Dye will chase a high fastball, or a low slider, whatever is called for.

4.   Piazza also caught Garey Ingram trying to steal second base, handling a low slider from Martinez and gunning from his knees.

5.   Tino watched Tino smoke a low slider into the right-field seats in the fifth.
