Las Vegas Stars scorecard — May 28, 1998

Thursday, May 28, 1998 | 9:11 a.m.

By Steve Guiremand

Outfielder James Mouton, on an injury rehab assignment from the Padres, arrived at Cashman Field in the second inning but didn't play in Wednesday's dramatic 6-5 win over Colorado Springs. Mouton, plagued by a strained quadriceps muscle, will likely start tonight. Another injured Padres' player, infielder Archie Cianfrocco, also will join the Stars tonight for an injury rehab. Cianfrocco has been plagued by a oblique strain in his back. ... Bob Cluck, who managed the Stars in 1984 and 1985, has been hired by the San Diego Padres to scout American League teams for upcoming interleague games. Cluck, a former Oakland Athletics pitching coach, is still being paid by the Athletics. He will also scout some National League teams for the Padres. "I know the American League West," Cluck said. Said Padres general manager Kevin Towers: "The more you know, the better off you are. He's practically a freebie." ... When Stars pitcher Scott Sanders singled in the second inning of Wednesday's win, it marked the first hit by a Stars pitcher in 32 at-bats this season. ... Entering Wednesday's games, Stars second baseman Dave Hajek ranked second in the Pacific Coast League in hits (59) and was tied for the league lead in doubles (16). He doubled again Wednesday to take the league lead with 17 two-baggers. Hajek also ranks eighth in the PCL in batting (.339). ... Outfielder Aaron Guiel, who hasn't played since May 17 because of vision problems, expects to get some new glasses today and could return to action this weekend. ... The Stars rank second in the PCL in team pitching with a 4.10 team ERA. Matt Clement ranks third in strikeouts with 60.
