Orel Hershiser exits early as Braves take Game 1
ATLANTA The Indians manager Mike Hargrove was puzzled by Orel Hershiser leaving after 37-year-old Hershiser walked two in the seventh, with Fred McGriff and David Justice scoring as Atlanta won 3-2. Hershiser threw 101 pitches and cited losing his release point, not fatigue. Carlos Baerga sprained an ankle fouling out but remains in the lineup for Game 2.
