Tanana Wins 12th as Angels Topple Pirates



Interleague Play:
San Francisco 3 at NY Yankees 2 (11)
-Derrel Thomas’s RBI single in the 11th off Dale Murray (1-5, 3.86) earns the last place Giants a victory. Gary Lavelle (3-7, 3.57) got the win despite blowing a 2-1 lead in the 9th on a Graig Nettles RBI double
Chicago Cubs 5 at Baltimore 2
-Bobby Murcer’s 15th home run of the year gave the Cubs a lead in the 8th that they would not relinquish. Bruce Sutter (9-5, 3.51) earned the win in relief while Orioles starter Steve Luebber (4-4, 3.75) was saddled with the loss
Houston 8 at Detroit 1
-Tony Scott went 5-for-5 to up his average to .367 in a reserve role and rookie Bob Knepper improved to a dazzling 5-1, 2.52 as the 1st place Astros have an easy time with last place Detroit.
Cincinnati 4 at Milwaukee 2
-Joe Morgan’s 13th home run of the season broke up a scoreless deadlock in the 8th as the Reds would eventually double up the Brew Crew. Jack Billingham (9-8, 3.95) earned the win and Rawly Eastwick racked up save number 29
Los Angeles 9 at Minnesota 2
-Andy Messersmith (12-5, 2.91) gets the easy win thanks to home runs by Rick Monday (10), Phil Garner (5) and Rick Dempsey (3). This just in the Twins pitching staff is horrendous
San Diego 3 at Texas 5
-The AL wins one here as Leo Cardenas rapped a go-ahead double in the 6th and Tommy Boggs (9-6, 2.87) and Jim Kern (17Sv, 1.66) earned the decisions for the Rangers
Pittsburgh 1 at California 3
-Frank Tanana (12-7, 2.95) struck out nine in eight innings as he combines on a three-hitter with Jim Brewer (2Sv, 6.28). Don Baylor (17th) homered for the Angels while Al Oliver’s (13) solo shot accounted for Pittsburgh’s scoring
Montreal 7 at Oakland 2
-Larry Lintz (.250, 17SB) goes 4-for-5 and swipes three bases as the Expos win their third straight in the Golden State, adding to Oakland’s woes. Clay Kirby (3-1, 4.14) has shown new life since being reclaimed from the free-agent pool last week by the Expos

AL East: The idle Red Sox extend their lead to 1.5 on the Orioles and 7 on the Yankees. The indains are in 3rd place 6 games behind
AL West: The idle Royals are now just 1 up on the Angels with the A’s falling 4 off the pace
NL East:
The Pirates lose so the Cardinals (3.5) and Phillies (4.5) gain ground without playing. The Cubs are creepin’ into the hunt and are 6.5 behind.
NL West:
 The Astros remain 1.5 games up on the Reds with the Padres falling to 4.5 behind
ALvsNL: The NL takes a 23-21 lead despite all games having been played in AL parks. The league with best record in the 144 interleague games earns home-field advantage in the World Series
