The winning pitcher was Ken Dixon(3-2) who allowed 1 run in 5 innings. Gene
Nelson(1-2) was tagged with the loss.  He served up 3 homeruns in his 5
innings.  

Young was in a good mood after the game, 'I'm just seeing and hitting the ball
real well now.  I made some adjustments last week and they are paying off.
That's what this game is about. making adjustments as the season goes along.'

Center fielder Gary Roenicke connected with a 'big fly' and had 3 RBI at The
Kingdome where the streaking Baltimore Orioles beat the reeling Seattle
Mariners 8 to 5.

Seattle was unable to recover after Baltimore went ahead in the top of the 4th
inning when they tallied 3 runs on 2 hits.  The big moment was provided by
Roenicke who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he belted a
three-run homer (his 4th of the season).  Baltimore had 11 hits for the
afternoon.  

The winning pitcher was Mike Flanagan(2-0) who allowed 3 runs in 7 innings.
Flanagan was helped out by Don Aase who recorded his 3rd save.  The loss was
charged to Matt Young(2-4).  He was knocked around, surrendering 6 runs in 4
and 2/3 innings.  

Baltimore won for the 7th straight time. Chuck Cottier was upset but
philosophical about the loss.  'Sometimes you run into a team that's on a
roll.  This was one of those times.'

In a two run game the Atlanta Braves got by the Chicago Cubs by the score of 7
to 5.

Atlanta claimed the early lead in the first inning when they scored 2 runs on
2 hits.  The big moment was provided by Dale Murphy who made the crowd happy
when he cracked a two-run shot (his 10th of the season).  Atlanta had 11 hits
overall, while Chicago had 8.  

Steve Bedrosian(3-3) allowed 5 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Gene Garber recorded his 3rd save.  The loss was charged to Steve
Trout(0-2).  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 4
innings.

Joe Hesketh pitched a complete game at OLYMPIC STADIUM where the Montreal
Expos beat the San Diego Padres by the score of 7 to 1.

Hesketh(5-0) contributed a very nicely pitched game.  He didn't allow much,
just 6 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings improving his ERA from 2.25 to 2.00.
Montreal rapped out 11 hits for the afternoon.  

Andy Hawkins(3-3) was charged with the loss.  He allowed 8 hits and 1 walk in

Sid Fernandez allowed 2 hits while blanking San Francisco at SHEA STADIUM
where the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 8 to 0.

Fernandez(4-2) pitched one of his finer games as he simply was too much for
the San Francisco batters.  He allowed just 2 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings
lowering his ERA from 2.45 to 2.04.  New York finished with 11 hits in the
victory.  

Atlee Hammaker(3-3) absorbed the loss.  He pitched 4 innings allowing 6 hits
and no walks. 'When Fernandez is on like that it is a tough game to play, no
doubt about it,' Jim Davenport said. 'He always pitches well against us.'

LOS ANGELES AT PHILADELPHIA
Dodgers......... 1 0 0  0 0 0  1 0 0  3 -  5 14  1

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in 10 innings by a
score of 5 to 2 at VETERANS STADIUM.

The game was deadlocked at 2 after nine full innings.  Los Angeles was
victorious in the 10th inning.  Terry Whitfield led off the inning for Los
Angeles when he slapped a single.  Steve Yeager came to the plate and drew a
walk.  After an out was recorded, Steve Sax stepped up to the plate and he
lined a single, and an error was also committed, driving in a run.  Bill
Madlock was up next and he drew a walk to load the bases.  Mike Marshall
stepped into the box and delivered a one-base hit which accounted for two
additional runs.  Philadelphia was out-hit by Los Angeles, 14 hits to 6.

Tom Niedenfuer(5-0) got the win allowing no runs in 2 innings. Bobby Castillo
recorded the save, his 3rd.  The losing pitcher was Larry Andersen(2-1) in
relief.

by a score of 4 to 3 at THREE RIVERS STADIUM.

Lee Tunnell(3-1) had a fairly solid outing.  He allowed 9 hits and 2 walks in
6 and 2/3 innings.  Cincinnati threatened in the 9th but Pittsburgh was able
to put down the rally.  

Tunnell got relief help from Cecilio Guante who gained credit for his 1st
save.  Tom Browning(3-4) took the loss.  He was knocked around by Pittsburgh,
allowing 12 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings.  

'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Tunnell said,

Terry Pendleton had 2 base hits and 3 RBI and John Tudor allowed Whitey Herzog
to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game at The Astrodome as the St.
Louis Cardinals beat the Houston Astros 4 to 1.

Houston was unable to claim the lead after St. Louis went ahead in the top of
the 6th inning plating an isolated run.  The game was a scoreless duel until
the 6th inning.  

The winning pitcher was Tudor(4-3) who allowed 1 run for the game. Mike
Scott(2-2) was the loser.  He was pinned with the loss despite not allowing
an earned run in his 6 innings of work.

Hawkins(3-4) ended up with the loss.  He was hit hard and gave up 7 hits and
4 walks in 3 and 1/3 innings.  

Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Fernandez - except San Diego.
Dick Williams lamented, 'He just was 'on' this afternoon.  He was keeping our
guys off balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes
it a fun game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'

Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 7 to 1.

San Francisco came up with 5 runs in the top of the 7th inning with the help
of 3 hits.  The highlight belonged to Dan Gladden who deflated the spirits of
the home town crowd when he belted a three-run homer (his 2nd of the season).
The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 7th inning.

Hammaker(4-3) got the victory, allowing 1 run for the game. Shane Rawley(4-3)
was the loser.  'After the stretch we have been through lately, this victory
is especially sweet' offered Jim Davenport.  Now, we just have to make this
the norm - not the exception!'

Mike Scott was able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete
game at THREE RIVERS STADIUM as the Houston Astros beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates 10 to 1.

Craig Reynolds had a big day with his bat.  He stroked a single which scored a
run in the 2nd inning, smacked a one-base hit scoring two baserunners in the
6th inning and blasted a two-run home run (his 1st of the season) in the 9th
inning.  Houston had a total of 16 hits for the game.  

The winning pitcher was Scott(3-2) who allowed 1 run for the game. Lee

Homeruns- B.Horner(5th)

John Tudor completed the game without help from the bullpen and catcher
Darrell Porter had 3 base hits and 3 RBI as the St. Louis Cardinals clobbered
the outmatched Atlanta Braves, 14 to 2.

Atlanta fell behind quickly as the St. Louis offense came through in the first
inning scoring 3 runs using 5 hits.  Vince Coleman led off and started the
rally when he singled.  Coleman was safe at second on a stolen base.  A balk
was called.  Two outs later Jack Clark came to the plate and delivered a
one-base hit plating a run.  Andy Van Slyke came to the plate and doubled
driving in one more runner.  Porter added to the uprising and doubled scoring
the final run of the inning.  That early scoring held up.  St. Louis bats
were hot in the 7th inning when they had 5 runs on 5 hits.  St. Louis
finished with 20 hits in the victory.  

The win was credited to Tudor(5-3) who went the whole way allowing 2 runs. Joe

Homeruns- B.Grich(3rd)

Bobby Grich left the yard at ANAHEIM STADIUM as the Baltimore Orioles lost a
heartbreaker to California Angels by the score of 2 to 1.

The deciding run was scored by California in the 9th.  After an out was
recorded, Doug Decinces delivered a single.  Grich followed and he delivered
a base-hit.  Grich took second on the throw.  Ruppert Jones then was walked
intentionally to load the bases.  Dick Schofield came up and he laced a
single making California victorious to the delight of the the home town
crowd.  California had 7 hits for the afternoon.  

Rafael Lugo(4-1) was the winner allowing no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings. Nate
Snell(0-3) suffered the loss in relief.  He gave up 3 hits and 1 walk in 1
and 1/3 innings.  

With this win, California has a 18-22 record.  They have been 3-7 lately.
Baltimore has a record of 24-15 after the loss.

Win:Acker(2-0) Loss:Creel(1-3)

5,471 fans were treated to a fine game at MUNICIPAL STADIUM as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end.  The Toronto Blue Jays won by the
slimmest of margins, 7 to 6.

The score was tied at 3 after nine.  Toronto won it in the 10th inning.  The
critical plate appearance was by George Bell who deflated the crowd as he
delivered a one-base hit scoring two baserunners.  Despite losing, Cleveland
out-hit Toronto 14 to 10.  

The victory was credited to Jim Acker(2-0) who went 1 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 3 runs. Keith Creel(1-3) was the losing pitcher in relief.  


CHICAGO AT KANSAS CITY
White Sox....... 0 1 0  0 0 0  0 0 0  -  1  6  0

Win:Leibrandt(1-4) Loss:Bannister(1-5)
Homeruns- G.Brett(4th), D.Motley-2(5th)

Left fielder Darryl Motley cracked 2 homeruns and Charlie Leibrandt pitched 9
strong innings as the Kansas City Royals topped the Chicago White Sox by a
score of 5 to 1 at ROYALS STADIUM.

Kansas City came up with 3 runs in the 3rd inning.  Willie Wilson got things
going when he laced a single.  Lynn Jones was next and he drew a walk.
George Brett then smacked a three-run homer (his 4th of the season).  That
early scoring held up.  Kansas City rapped out 7 hits for the afternoon.

Leibrandt(1-4) lasted until the end allowing 1 run for the win. Floyd
Bannister(1-5) was tagged with the loss.  He served up 3 homeruns in his 7
innings.  

Tony LaRussa was obviously impressed with the pitching of Leibrandt, 'That guy
made us look a little silly out there this afternoon.  We just couldn't get
to him at all - everything was working for him.  I just hope that he got that
kinda performance out of his system.'

MINNESOTA AT MILWAUKEE
Twins........... 0 0 0  0 0 0  1 0 0  -  1  7  0
Brewers......... 0 0 0  0 0 0  0 0 0  -  0  1  0
Win:Blyleven(7-2) Loss:Haas(1-5)
Homeruns- T.Teufel(8th)

Bert Blyleven was on top of his game, blanking Milwaukee on just 1 hit at
COUNTY STADIUM as the Minnesota Twins beat the Milwaukee Brewers by the count
of 1 to 0.

Blyleven(7-2) was tremendous on the mound for Minnesota.  He was stingy on the
mound, allowing just 1 hit and 3 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from
2.05 to 1.83.  Minnesota managed 7 in their victory.  

The loss was charged to Moose Haas(1-5).  'All of my pitches were working
today,' Blyleven said.  'I felt really good out there, and heck, I think I
could have gone longer.'

NEW YORK AT OAKLAND
Yankees......... 0 0 0  0 0 0  0 0 0  -  0  4  1
A's............. 0 0 1  1 0 0  0 0    -  2  5  0
Win:Codiroli(7-3) Loss:Cowley(4-3) Save:Howell(9th)
Homeruns- B.Bochte(4th)

In a game for the baseball purist, Chris Codiroli(7-3) and Joe Cowley(4-3)
squared off in a tense pitching duel, Oakland A's finally emerged victorious
over New York Yankees, 2 to 0.

Oakland jumped on top of New York in the 3rd inning scoring one runner on 2
hits.  The early run support proved sufficient for Codiroli and Oakland.
That was all the run support Codiroli required.  Neither team managed to
score after the 4th inning.  

Jay Howell got the save, his 9th.

DETROIT AT SEATTLE
Tigers.......... 0 0 1  1 0 0  0 1 0  -  3  4  0
Mariners........ 3 1 1  0 0 0  0 0    -  5 10  0
Win:Swift(2-4) Loss:Petry(4-3) Save:Thomas(4th)
Homeruns- D.Evans(10th), G.Thomas(8th), S.Owen(3rd)

Phil Bradley had 4 hits as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Detroit Tigers by
the score of 5 to 3 at The Kingdome.

Seattle jumped out to the early lead in the first inning when they scored 3
runs on 2 hits.  The big moment was provided by Gorman Thomas who electrified
KINGDOME when he lost the ball over the fence for three runs (his 8th of the
season).  Seattle had 10 hits for the game and Detroit had 4.  

Bill Swift(2-4) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the win. Swift got
relief help from Roy Thomas who gained credit for his 4th save.  Dan
Petry(4-3) was the loser.  


BOSTON AT TEXAS
Red Sox......... 3 0 2  0 1 0  1 0 0  -  7 12  0
Rangers......... 0 0 0  0 0 1  0 0 2  -  3  7  0
Win:Boyd(4-3) Loss:Russell(1-6)
Homeruns- M.Easler(6th), R.Gedman(8th)

At ARLINGTON STADIUM the Boston Red Sox easily handled the Texas Rangers by
the score of 7 to 3.

Mike Easler had a big day with his bat.  He laced a one-base hit scoring a run
in the 1st inning, popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 6th of the
season) in the 3rd inning and doubled in the 7th inning.  Overall Boston
out-hit Texas 12 to 7.  

Oil Can Boyd(4-3) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 5 and 2/3 innings.
Jeff Russell(1-6) took the loss.  He allowed a few too many baserunners
giving up 12 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings.  

The Boston ballclub's record now stands at 27-13.  Texas can't seem to snap
out of their recent 'funk'.  Now they have a miserable 2-8 record over the
last couple weeks.

hit.  Coleman was safe at second on a stolen base.  Tommy Herr then was hit
by a pitch.  Willie McGee was up next and he lined a single to load the

the afternoon.  

The loss was charged to Charlie Hough(4-5).  He allowed 3 hits and 2 walks in

strikeouts.  'It's tough to generate runs if you can't make contact with the
ball.'

banged out 7 on the afternoon.

and 3 walks.  Jesse Orosco relieved and was untouched by Los Angeles as he
recorded the save, his 5th.  

Jerry Reuss(3-2) was given the loss.  He surrendered 8 hits and 1 walk in 6
innings.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Gooden - except Los
Angeles.  Tommy Lasorda lamented, 'He just was 'on' this afternoon.  He was

The game was deadlocked at 5 after nine full innings.  Philadelphia was
victorious in the 11th inning.  Mike Schmidt started the inning off right
when he singled.  After an out was recorded, Virgil stepped in and he drew a
walk.  Derrel Thomas then lost the ball over the fence for three runs (his
5th of the season) giving Philadelphia the victory as 30,069 happy fans
