League
Montreal 3 at New York 7
-The Mets have now won five in a row as Ed Kranepool drives in three and Craig Swan (5-14, 3.79) gets a much needed victory. Bill Lee (15-10, 2.64) didn’t make it out of the 4th for Montreal
Philadelphia 2 at Pittsburgh 3 (14)
-The Pirates win in extras for the second straight night over the Phillies. Gene Tenace scored the tying run in the 7th and drove in the winning run with a single in the 14th. Five Pirate relievers shut the Phillies out for the final six innings
Chicago 9 at St. Louis 7
-Adrian Garrett smacked home run #18 and Bruce Sutter notched his 16th save as the Cubs move to within a half game of 2nd place St. Louis. Sutter has yet to allow an inherited runner to score this year in 19 opportunities. Fellow rookie Bruce Kimm stole four bases to raise his total to 17 - very impressive for a catcher.
Atlanta 3 at Cincinnati 13
-The Reds pound the Braves again as Joe Morgan (18HR, 56SB) homered and stole two bases. Five Reds had multi hit games in this one.
San Diego 6 at Houston 4
- Steve Garvey (13HR) hit two home runs and drove in four helping Randy Jones (16-3, 3.25) to victory. The Padres end a six game losing streak with the win
San Francisco 6 at Los Angeles 8
-Dusty Baker (15) and Rick Monday (17) hit three run home runs off Giants rookie Rob Dressler (1-2, 4.84) as L.A. continues to play good baseball in the 2nd half. Ken Brett (4-2, 7.05) has had a terrible year but gets the win tonight.
NL East: The Pirates are running away with it now as they lead the Cardinals by 9.5
NL West: The Astros lead is cut to 4.5 by the Reds
