Hebner Fails In Bid For Major League Extra-Base Hit Record
Hebner, in a game dominated by pitching, struck out in his fifth at bat as he chased a major league record for extra-base hits. He had not homered in about five weeks and said he focused on contact and not swinging for power. The Pirates, batting .271 as a team, built a strong lineup with the first six hitters hitting .200 or better, while pitching backed by Meais, Ureth, and Ellis helped keep them 30-2 games behind the league leaders. Elsewhere, Willie McCovey hit two homers for the Padres in a 3-1 win over the Mets, pushing his career total to 425.
