Hot corner

April 24, 1998

Quote: "My mom was in the stands and that made this first major-league win even more special. Now, I've got to find something to wear on the plane." -- Devil Rays' Jason Johnson after he blanked Texas on three hits in 5 1/3 innings.

It's a fact: Indians shortstop Omar Vizquel ran his errorless-games streak to 54 last night.

Who's hot: The Rangers' Ivan Rodriguez went 3-for-3 yesterday, including a homer, to raise his average to .443

Who's not: Texas starter Darren Oliver (0-3) suffered the loss to Tampa Bay, giving up five runs and six hits over three-plus innings. He has yielded 19 runs and 27 hits over his last 15 2/3 innings.

On deck: Fans will return to Yankee Stadium tonight for a game against Detroit for the first time since a 500-pound steel beam crashed onto seats April 13.
