game at Tampa Bay.
Molitor got his 3,284th career hit on a groundrule double down the right-field line during the first inning of Minnesota's
The hit off Devil Rays' starter Julio Santana snapped an 0-for-7 slump. Moltor went 1-for-11 in the three-game series against the Devil Rays. He is 25 hits behind Eddie Collins, who is eighth all-time with 3,309.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Julio Santana pitched a five-hit game for his first career complete game as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays snapped a five-game losing streak with a 10-3 victory against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.
Santana throws first career complete game
Minnesota designated hitter Paul Molitor moved past Willie Mays into ninth place on the all-time hit list at 3,284 with a first-inning ground-rule down double the right-field line.
Santana, with a 5-2 record, did not allow an eamed run, struck out three batters and walked three in his 28th career start. The right-hander has worked at least six innings in 11 straight starts and has allowed three eamed runs or less in nine of those starts.
Twins starter Eric Milton, with a 7-1-1 record, lasted 2 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits.
Cardinals McGwire out swings legends
ST. LOUIS — As his home-run total continues to mount, Mark McGwire keeps leaving some of the biggest names in baseball history in his winters.
Last week, McGwire became the first player in major-league history to have three consecutive 50-home run seasons when he hit a home run in both ends of a doubleheader at New York.
Two days later, on Aug. 22, McGwire set a major-league record with 162 home runs during three consecutive seasons. Ruth, who hit 161 from 1926 to 1928, again took a back seat.
miles in baseball history in his wake. The St. Louis Cardinals player, who hit home run No. 54 Wednesday night, has surpassed so many of the biggest and best in baseball history during his quest for Roger Maris' home run record that he ought to be used to it by now. Instead, he almost seems embarrassed.
The victim was Babe Ruth, who had consecutive 50-home run seasons in 1920-21 and 1927-28.
The latest link to the past came after his 509-foot, two-run home run off Florida Marlins rookie Justin Speier. The blast made McGwire only the third player in National League history to hit that many home runs in a season and the first since Ralph Kiner hit 54 in 1949.
Sampras, Hingis face tough task in U.S. Open
TOUGH DRAW: Pete Sampas and Martina Hingis are the top seeds at the U.S. Open, but CBS analyst Mary Carillo said that the two players have an extremely tough road ahead of them.
"Hingis he headaches throughout the draw," Carilo said, referring to
potential match-ups with Monica Seles, Steffa Graf and Serena Williams. "She has to be prepared. She is not nearly the player she was a
year ago." Sampras, who has struggled since winning Wimbledon last month, could face Andre Agassi in the quarterfinals and defending champion Pat Rafter in the semifinals. "Pete sure didn't want to play Agassi that

soon. "Carillo said, 'He has to come out alert.'"
CBS begins its coverage with late night highlights beginning Monday. USA Network provides early-round cable coverage.
TUBE BITS: The college football season begins tomorrow with Michigan State playing Colorado State on ESPN2 and Louisiana Tech vs. Nebraska on Fox Sports Net. ABC opens with Purdue against Southern California on Sunday and Florida State against Texas &M on Monday night. Former Texas coach John Mackovic joins ESPN2's college football studio show. The new best-of-three WNBA playoff format favors defending champion Houston, NBC analyst Ann Myers said. "It's tough enough beating them once, but it is almost impossible to do it twice," said Myers, who will call Game 2 Saturday. ESPN's final Sunday-night baseball game of the season matches Mark McGwire and St. Louis against the Atlanta Braves. HBO's Ivan Robinson vs. Arturo Gatti fight Saturday got an 8.1 rating, the highest for a "Boxing After Dark" main event.

U.S. golfer shoots for amateur success
The Associated Press
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Defending champion Matt Kuchar ended both his U.S. Amateur match-play duels yesterday on the 13th hole, setting up a quarterfinal showdown with British Amateur winner Sergio Garcia.
"It is my lucky number. It's funny that it's worked out this way." Kuchar said after crushing Bert Atkinson on Oak Hill's East course. Earlier in the day, he knocked out Matthew Saglio.
Today's match against Garcia, the 18-year-old Spaniard phenomenon with the nickname "El Nino," could be the pivotal one in the weeklong championship.
"It could be one-sided," Kuchar said.
"Most likely, it will be a great battle."
Garcia knocked out Danny Green of Jackson, Tenn., stringing together three birdies and one bogey. Earlier, Garcia beat Chip Travis of Hinsdale, Ill., with four birdies.
Looking ahead to the tussle with Kuchar, Garcia said he was sure of one thing — that if he did not play his best he would not win. Garcia won the British Amateur in June and is 19-0 in match play this year.
"I don't think I'm going to let down the United States if I don't win, I don't think he's going to let down Spain and Europe if he doesn't win," he said. "It's not that big yet. We're just two kids going at it."
Although mindful that the United States lost the Ryder Cup to Europe at Oak Hill in 1995, Kuchar said his match-up with Garcia won't carry any extra patriotic weight.
