Maddox Homers in 14th as Phillies Keep Pace in East


National League
Houston 7 at Chicago 0
-Nolan Ryan (6-2, 3.63) struck out eight in the five-hit shutout and Cesar Cedeno (.303 9SB) stole, scored and drove in two runs for the Astros
Cincinnati 1 at Pittsburgh 3
-The Pirates sweep the NLCS rematch at Three Rivers behind another outstanding performance by Rick Reuschel (6-1, 1.57) and Kent Tekulve (9Sv, 2.66). The Reds have now dropped a staggering seven straight and have fallen to 4th in the NL West.
Atlanta 9 at St. Louis 3
-The Braves pound out seventeen hits and surrender only four as Dick Ruthven (4-2, 3.10) pitched a complete game to avoid the sweep for Atlanta.
Montreal 2 at Los Angeles 3 (11)
-
No team has struggled offensively like the Dodgers but they’re helped out today by a quartet of Expo hurlers who issued eight walks, two wild pitches and a balk. Dennis Blair (0-3, 2.63) walked Dusty Baker with the winning run to end it in the 11th.
New York 0 at San Diego 2
-Alan Foster (3-4 ,2.40) tosses a five hit shutout and Dave Kingman (.194 7HR) hit his third home run of the series as the Padres remain in command of the NL West
Philadelphia 4 at San Francisco 2 (14)
-The early season has been a struggle for Garry Maddox (.229) but his 2nd home run of the season was the game winner in the 12th off Tom Griffin (1-5, 4.80). The fact it took six innings for the Phillies to score on the Giants beleaguered bullpen in this game counts as progress for San Francisco. Philadelphia remains a 1/2 game back of Pittsburgh with the win. Recently recalled Dan Warthen pitched three innings of relief for the win.


American League
New York 5 at Boston 2
-Graig Nettles (.237 8HR) homered and drove in four as struggling aces Catfish Hunter (4.04) of New York and Bruce Kison (4.55) of Boston each evened their marks at 4-4 today. Dick Tidrow (11Sv, 1.59) pitched two innings for the save
Baltimore 2 at Cleveland 9
-The Indians sweep the Orioles as the season long front runners have now dropped five in a row. Gaylord Perry (6-3, 3.66) pitched a complete game, Oscar Gamble (.326) ahd four hits and Gorman Thomas launched his 10th home run of the season for the Tribe who are now in a second place tie with the Red Sox just 2.5 games behind the Orioles
Detroit 2 at Milwaukee 1
-Dave Collins (.348 4HR) continues to thrive in an every day role with the Tigers as his homer was the game winning RBI making a winner of rookie starter Frank MacCormack (1-0, 0.75)
Kansas City 6 at Chicago 1
-
Wilbur Wood (0-2, 7.36) walked nine Royals as Chicago fails to complete a sweep of the 1st place Royals. Kansas City leaves 14 men on base but still win with ease to improve to 30-12.
Texas 5 at Minnesota 1 (gm 1)
-Rookie Steve Barr (1-0, 1.62) wins his first major league start as he combines with Jeff Terpko (3.29) and Sparky Lyle (1Sv, 2.28) on the three-hitter
Texas 5 at Minnesota 8 (gm 2)
-The last place Twins avoid a sweep in the doubleheader and the four game set with the Rangers as Larry Hisle (.293) doubled and drove in five.
Oakland 1 at California 5
-Frank Tanana (6-3, 2.82) pitched his second complete game of the week as the red-hot Angels sweep the defending division champions to move a game behind the A’s for 2nd in the AL West. Fred Lynn (.317 9HR) and Bobby Jones (.348 3HR) each went deep for the Angels while phenom 1B Jason Thompson raised his average to .303 with a pair of doubles.
