Pitcher Champion Drives in Five in Fourteen Run Fifteenth



American League
Cleveland 1 at  Boston 0
-Gorman Thomas’s (.248) 15th home run of the season broke a scoreless tie in the 9th as the 1st place Indians move 1.5 games up on the Red Sox in the East. Phil Niekro (3.38), Jaime Easterly (4-1, 3.38) and Harry Parker (12Sv, 2.94) combined on the two hit shutout. Skip Lockwood (3-2, 3.32) lost his second game in relief this week.
Milwaukee 18 at New York 4 (15)
-Here’s something you don’t see everyday – or ever at all – the Brewers with a fourteen run 15th inning at New York. Ken Holtzman (0-1, 24.16)  gave up twelve of the runs in his return from the minors. Don’t think his return in New York is going to stick.
Winning pitcher Bill Champion (2-6, 3.73) double twice in the improbable frame.
Detroit 1 at Baltimore 6
-Wayne Garland (6-1, 2.45) with the complete game victory as the Orioles remain a half game behind the Indians in the East. Juan Beniquez (.276) knocked in three runs for Baltimore.
California 4 at Chicago 5
-Jorge Orta’s (.301) third hit of the day capped a three run 9th inning rally off Mickey Scott (1-3, 3.86) and Terry Forster (5.84) as the White Sox hand the Angels their fourth consecutive loss to begin June after their torrid 22-5 May.
Texas 6 at Kansas City 5
-The Rangers build an early 6-1 lead off spot starter Al Fitzmorris (1-1, 6.60) and hang on to defeat the 1st place Royals. Like the Angels, Kansas City has lost four in a row to begin June after a torrid May – and April in their case as well.
Minnesota 4 at Oakland 6
-The A’s are just a half game behind the Royals after winning their fourth straight. Sonny Siebert (6-3, 3.09) pitched seven solid innings and Billy Williams (.331 12HR) homered for the surging A’s

National League
Chicago 3 at Montreal 8
-Woodie Fryman (2-1, 3.70) wins his first start of the season as the Expos chase the usually reliable Dennis Eckersley (4-4, 2.62) out of the game after four innings.
Pittsburgh 7 at New York 2
-
The Pirates began the season with a sweep at Shea Stadium and win easily again there tonight as Bert Blyleven (6-2, 3.03) earned the victory and Bernie Carbo (.227) and Richie Hebner (.282) each had four hits
Philadelphia 4 at St. Louis 6
-Eric Rasmussen (6-3, 2.91) survives two home runs by Greg Luzinski (.290 12HR) as the Cardinals down the Phillies 6-4. Mark Littell (13Sv, 1.64) continues to star in relief for St. Louis
Houston 9 at Los Angeles 1
-Mike Ivie (.313 15HR) padded his league leading RBI total with a home run and four RBI’s and J.R. Richard (4-5, 5.03) may be rounding into form as the Astros are looking like contenders this season. Greg Gross (.385) had four hits for Houston.
Cincinnati 4 at San Diego 5
-
Recently acquired Mike Phillips (.206 2HR) homered for the Padres and Randy Jones (7-2, 4.14) settled down after the Reds took a 4-2 lead in the 2nd as San Diego extends their lead on Cincinnati to three  games. The Astros remain one off the pace.
Atlanta 2 at San Francisco 3
-Max Leon (4-1, 1.91) blows his first save of the season as Ken Reitz (.218 2HR) hits a game winning two run home run in the 9th for the Giants. Workhorse Gary Lavelle (1-3, 2.33) earned the win in relief for San Francisco
