This year Torre has hit 27 home runs and posted a .281 batting average.

Bill Hands dominated the day, pitching shutout ball against the Bums and holding them to 3 hits. He fanned 5 and walked 2 in spinning his 3-0 win.

"I can't take all the credit for this one," Hands said. "I had some great defense behind me."

This season-to-date Hands has 7 wins and 8 losses and a 3.40 ERA.
