Nosediving Keys Lose, 5-3
Mexico City beat Long Beach on the strength of starting pitcher R.J. Eisen's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 5-3. The winner was Eisen. He threw 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Brian Davis. Ken Griffey earned the save for Mexico City, his 28th of the year.

Jeff Ciervo had a big 2-run home run for the Aztecs in the top of the third inning. With Mexico City leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Brian Davis and punished it. The result was his 30th home run of the season, which put the Aztecs on top, 3-0.

"I want us to come out, have fun, hit some balls, and score. We're having a tough time," said Ron Kunkleman, the Long Beach manager.

The Aztecs improved to a lofty 84-32.
