Royals beaten by the Tigers enter last place in the league
DETROIT — Shane Halter hit a three-run homer and Wendell Magee had three hits and two RBIs as the Detroit Tigers moved out of last place yesterday by beating the Kansas City Royals 7-6.
The Associated Press
Detroit (9-17), which had held a share of the AL Central cellar since the start of the season, moved past Kansas City (8-17), which dropped to 0-2 under interim manager John Mizerock, who took over this week after Tony Muser was fired.
Jamie Walker (1-0) pitched one and one-third scoreless innings, and Juan Acevedo got six outs for Detroit's first save this season. The Tigers improved to 9-11 under manager Luis Pujols, who replaced Phil Garner after an 0-6 start. Detroit finished its homestand 5-1, winning back-to-back series for the first time since taking three straight last July.
Dugouts and bullpens emptied at the end of the eighth inning after an argument between Detroit's Bobby Higginson and the Royals' Neifi Perez.
Higginson hit into an inning-ending double play and started arguing with Perez, who was coming off the field from shortstop. Higginson had been called out in the third inning for sliding out of the basepath
at Perez in an attempt to break up an inning-ending double play.
Kansas City led 4-2 in the fifth before Higginson hit an RBI single off Dan Reichert and Halter his first home run since last Oct. 4 against Minnesota.
But the Royals retied the score in the sixth when third baseman Jose Macias threw wildly to first on Luis Alicea's two-out grounder, allowing two runs to score on the error.
Cory Bailey (0-3) walked Halter and Jacob Cruz with one out in the seventh, and Wendell Magee followed with the go-ahead single.
Reichert allowed six runs on 10 hits and two walks in six innings. Detroit starter Seth Greisinger gave up four runs and five hits in four-plus innings. Greisinger was making his second start since missing most of 1999 and all of 2000 and 2001 with elbow problems.
Magee homered in the second and Higginson hit an RBI single in the third, but the Royals chased Greisinger in the fifth on Alicea's RBI single and a run-scoring throwing error by right fielder Robert Fick. Carlos Beltran tied it with a two-run triple off Jose Paniagua.
Former star faces more charges
The Associated Press
FLEMINGTON, N.J. — Former NBA All-Star Jayson Williams faces a new, more serious manslaughter charge in an indictment returned yesterday in the shooting death of a limousine driver at his estate.
Williams was indicted on a series of charges, including aggravated manslaughter, which carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison. He also was indicted on earlier charges of aggravated assault, witness and evidence tampering, and reckless manslaughter, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.
A friend of the former New Jersey Nets star, John Gordnick, was indicted on two charges, including evidence tampering.
The 34-year-old Williams was charged Feb. 25 in the Feb. 14 death of Costas Christofi.
Williams, who remains free on $270,000 bail, appeared in court on the charges in March. He did not enter a plea and was not required to do so until a grand jury indictment. A date for arraignment was not immediately scheduled.
His spokeswoman, Judy Smith, has said Williams
will plead innocent "at the appropriate time." His attorney said yesterday, and he was pleased the case can now go to trial.
"We remain confident that after a full exploration of the facts the truth will show that the death of Mr. Christofi was a tragic accident but not a criminal event." Joseph Hayden said.
Gordnick's lawyer did not immediately return calls for comment.
Prosecutors say Williams was recklessly handling his 12-gauge shotgun and that he and two friends, Gordnick and Kent Culuko, tried to make the shooting look like a suicide.
Prosecutors would have to show Williams demonstrated "extreme indifference to human life" to prove the aggravated manslaughter charge.
Acting Hunterdon County Prosecutor Steven Lemer has said there were reasons to believe that alcohol "is something we need to look into." but has not said whether Williams was drinking before the shooting.
The 6-foot-10 Williams was once among the NBA's best rebounders, but leg injuries ended his career and he retired from the Nets in 2000. Since the shooting, he has been suspended from his job as an NBA analyst for NBC.
