For the second time this season, Chicago's Sammy Sosa caught Mark McGwire in home runs, and for the second time it lasted about three hours. Sosa's 54th blast came against the Rockies in Colorado and was the longest at Coors Field this year. It also tied him with the Cards' slugger as they pursue Roger Maris' single-season home-run record. But only momentarily. McGwire launched his 55th -- a majestic bomb off Atlanta's Dennis Martinez -- a few hours later in St. Louis. Maris' milestone is looking awfully vulnerable right now.
