Danny Jackson(0-1) was the loser. He allowed 6 hits and 6 walks in 7 innings.

CINCINNATI AT ATLANTA Reds............ 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 3 0 Braves.......... 4 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 6 11 0 Win:Smith(1-0) Loss:Stuper(0-1) Zane Smith pitched a 3 hitter and Bob Horner had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at FULTON CTY STADIUM as the Atlanta Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds by the count of 6 to 1. Atlanta started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of the first when they tallied 4 runs on 5 hits. That early scoring was all that Smith(1-0) needed. The pitchers took over after the 3rd inning as neither team was able to score again. John Stuper(0-1) was the loser. He allowed 5 hits and 1 walk in 2/3 of an inning. PHILADELPHIA AT CHICAGO Phillies........ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 - 4 7 1 Cubs............ 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 - 5 10 0 Win:Fontenot(1-1) Loss:Rawley(1-1) Save:Smith(1st) Bob Dernier had 2 base hits as the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 5 to 4. Chicago set the tone of the game in the first inning when they scored 2 runs on 2 hits. Philadelphia threatened in the 9th but Chicago was able to put down the rally. Ray Fontenot(1-1) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 and 2/3 innings and allowing 1 run. Lee Smith recorded his 1st save. The loss was charged to Shane Rawley(1-1). He gave up 8 hits and 5 walks in 6 innings. 'We didn't get the key hits when we needed them' John Felske said. 'We did what we could, we just didn't pull out the win. What can you say?' HOUSTON AT LOS ANGELES Astros.......... 0 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 - 4 9 1 Dodgers......... 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 1 - 5 10 0 Win:Niedenfuer(2-0) Loss:Heathcock(0-1) Homeruns- G.Davis(5th) In an exciting finish the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out a win over the Houston Astros by a score of 5 to 4 at DODGER STADIUM. The deciding run was scored by Los Angeles in the bottom of the 9th. Pedro Guerrero laced a single. After an out was recorded, Greg Brock stepped in and he doubled. Ken Landreaux then hit a sacrifice fly giving Los Angeles the victory as 34,761 happy fans celebrated wildly. Los Angeles banged out 10 on the afternoon. Tom Niedenfuer(2-0) allowed no runs in 1 inning, and picked up the victory. Jeff Heathcock(0-1) suffered the loss in relief. He surrendered 1 run in 2/3 of an inning and saw his ERA increase from 1.93 to 3.38. NEW YORK AT PITTSBURGH Mets............ 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 4 4 1 Pirates......... 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 - 3 11 1 Win:Lynch(1-0) Loss:Deleon(0-1) Save:McDowell(1st) Homeruns- M.Wilson(3rd) One run was the difference at THREE RIVERS STADIUM as the New York Mets defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 to 3. New York tallied 3 runs in the top of the 2nd inning. Howard Johnson led off and started the attack as he laced a base-knock. Wally Backman got his chance to keep things going, but he went down on strikes. Kelvin Chapman was a strikeout victim, unable to help out. Ed Lynch was up next and he reached on an error. Mookie Wilson came to the plate and lost the ball over the fence for three runs (his 3rd of the season). That was all the offense they were to need. Pittsburgh made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across. Lynch(1-0) went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the win. Roger McDowell was credited with his 1st save. Jose Deleon(0-1) took the loss. He surrendered 4 runs and 4 hits in 7 innings. 'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' Chuck Tanner said after the game. 'Maybe now these guys will listen when I say they have to concentrate on EVERY pitch.' MONTREAL AT ST. LOUIS Expos........... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 2 4 3 Cardinals....... 0 3 0 0 0 0 3 4 - 10 16 0 Win:Cox(1-0) Loss:Gullickson(0-1) Homeruns- A.Dawson(2nd) Baseballs were flying all over the ballpark as the St. Louis Cardinals ran roughshod over the seemingly hapless Montreal Expos. The St. Louis offense rolled up a total of 10 runs!. St. Louis jumped on top to stay in the 2nd inning as they scored 3 runs on 4 base hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Danny Cox(1-0) and St. Louis. That was all the run support Cox required. St. Louis had 16 hits overall, while Montreal had 4. Bill Gullickson(0-1) was given the loss. His ERA ballooned from 2.70 to 4.97 as he allowed 5 runs in 6 innings.

BALTIMORE AT CLEVELAND Orioles......... 0 0 1 3 0 1 0 0 2 - 7 10 0 Indians......... 0 0 3 5 0 0 0 0 - 8 10 1 Win:Wardle(1-1) Loss:Dixon(0-2) Save:Waddell(1st) Homeruns- C.Ripken-2(2nd), J.Carter(1st) 6,055 fans were treated to a fine game at MUNICIPAL STADIUM as only one run separated the combatants at game's end. The Cleveland Indians registered 5 runs in the 4th inning and won by the slimmest of margins, 8 to 7. Cleveland tallied 5 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning when they had 3 base hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Joe Carter who electrified MUNICIPAL STADIUM when he lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 1st of the season). Baltimore had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. The victory went to Curt Wardle(1-1) who went 8 and 1/3 innings, allowing 6 runs. Tom Waddell was credited with his 1st save. Ken Dixon(0-2) was given the loss in relief. He pitched 5 and 2/3 innings allowing 5 hits and 2 walks. Shortstop Cal Ripken blasted 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI for Baltimore but his effort was wasted in the loss. BOSTON AT KANSAS CITY Red Sox......... 2 3 2 1 1 3 4 0 0 - 16 21 0 Royals.......... 1 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 - 7 15 1 Win:Boyd(2-0) Loss:Leibrandt(0-2) Homeruns- D.Evans(3rd), J.Rice-2(3rd), L.Smith(2nd) Jim Rice ripped 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Oil Can Boyd went the distance as the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals by a score of 16 to 7. Rice enjoyed a big day at the plate. He lifted one out of the park for a two run home run in the 1st inning, hit a bases-empty home run (his 3rd of the season) in the 4th inning and laced a one-base hit in the 6th inning. Boston bats were hot in the 7th inning when they had 4 runs on 6 hits. The Boston offense poured it on, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings. The win went to Boyd(2-0) who allowed 7 runs in the game. Charlie Leibrandt(0-2) was the loser. He was not very effective, surrendering 7 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings. CALIFORNIA AT MINNESOTA Angels.......... 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 3 8 1 Twins........... 5 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 - 7 7 1 Win:Butcher(2-0) Loss:Witt(1-1) Kirby Puckett had 2 base hits and John Butcher tossed a complete game at METRODOME where the Minnesota Twins beat the California Angels by the score of 7 to 3. Butcher(2-0) looked very much in control throughout the day. He surrendered only 8 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. Minnesota had a total of 7 hits for the game. Mike Witt(1-1) was hit with the loss. He allowed 5 runs and 3 hits in 2/3 of an inning. CHICAGO AT NEW YORK White Sox....... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 4 1 Yankees......... 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 - 3 8 1 Win:Guidry(2-0) Loss:Bannister(0-2) Save:Righetti(3rd) Homeruns- K.Griffey(1st) Rickey Henderson had 2 base hits as the New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox by a score of 3 to 1 at YANKEE STADIUM. Ron Guidry(2-0) earned his pay with a solid performance for Guidry. He surrendered 4 hits and no walks in 6 and 1/3 innings seeing his ERA drop from 2.45 to 2.14. Chicago went down quietly in the 9th. Guidry was helped out by Dave Righetti who recorded his 3rd save. Floyd Bannister(0-2) took the loss. He pitched 5 and 2/3 innings and surrendered 5 hits and 3 walks. TEXAS AT TORONTO Rangers......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 2 - 5 11 0 Blue Jays....... 0 1 3 0 2 5 1 1 - 13 16 0 Win:Stieb(3-0) Loss:Russell(0-1) Homeruns- B.Jones(1st), G.Bell(2nd), J.Barfield-2(5th), D.Garcia(1st) Jesse Barfield cracked 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the sizzling Toronto Blue Jays outscored the Texas Rangers 13 to 5. Barfield had a great day at the plate. He lost the ball over the fence for three runs in the 3rd inning and cracked a two-run shot (his 5th of the season) in the 6th inning. Toronto dominated offensively as they scored in 6 different innings. Dave Stieb(3-0) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings. Jeff Russell(0-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed Toronto 6 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings of work. Toronto continued their winning ways, with their streak now at 9 games and counting. Bobby Cox was in a talkative mood after the ballgame. 'Fellows, I don't know what to tell you. our guys are just playing lights out lately. Everything and everybody is just really hitting on all cylinders. I know it can't last forever - but that isn't going to stop us from trying!'

SAN FRANCISCO AT CINCINNATI Giants.......... 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 - 4 9 1 Reds............ 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 3 8 0 Win:Hammaker(2-0) Loss:Tibbs(0-2) Save:Davis(4th) Homeruns- J.Leonard(1st), T.Perez(1st) Second baseman Manny Trillo had 3 base hits as the San Francisco Giants topped the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 4 to 3 at RIVERFRONT STADIUM. San Francisco had 3 runs cross the plate in the top of the 6th inning with the help of 3 hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Jeff Leonard who silenced the crowd when he belted a three-run homer (his 1st of the season). San Francisco took care of Cincinnati with no trouble in the bottom of the 9th. Atlee Hammaker(2-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 innings and allowing 2 runs. Mark Davis earned his 4th save. Jay Tibbs(0-2) was tagged with the loss. LOS ANGELES AT SAN DIEGO Dodgers......... 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 2 5 2 Padres.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 6 0 Win:Niedenfuer(3-0) Loss:Thurmond(0-1) Homeruns- B.Madlock(2nd), M.Duncan(2nd) The Los Angeles Dodgers nipped the San Diego Padres 2 to 1 at JACK MURPHY STADIUM in a hard fought contest. The game was decided in the top of the 9th inning. After two outs Bill Madlock lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' (his 2nd of the season). Los Angeles had only 5 hits for the afternoon. Tom Niedenfuer(3-0) allowed no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the victory. Mark Thurmond(0-1) suffered the loss. He surrendered just 5 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. MONTREAL AT ST. LOUIS Expos........... 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 3 - 7 9 0 Cardinals....... 1 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 - 5 8 1 Win:Youmans(1-0) Loss:Horton(0-2) Save:Reardon(4th) Homeruns- C.Cedeno(1st) Hubie Brooks had 2 base hits at BUSCH STADIUM as the Montreal Expos came back dramatically to top the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 7 to 5. Montreal had the winning rally in the 9th inning with 3 runs utilizing 4 base hits. Brooks led off and keyed the rally when he lined a one-base hit. Terry Francona stepped up to the plate and he slapped a single. Mitch Webster then lined a single knocking in a run. Webster took second on the throw. Mike Fitzgerald got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim. Jim Wohlford was the next batter, but he struck out. Tim Raines added to the outburst and was walked intentionally to load the bases. Vance Law came next and he lined a base-hit which was good for two more runs. Law took second on the throw. A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the lead change 6 times. The win was credited to Floyd Youmans(1-0) who went 2 innings allowing 2 runs. Jeff Reardon recorded his 4th save. The losing pitcher was Ricky Horton(0-2) in relief. He surrendered 3 runs and 4 hits in 2/3 of an inning. Whitey Herzog was not very talkative after his team's tough loss. 'I'm not in the mood for questions, but I'm sure Buck Rodgers will be glad to talk about the game as long as you have questions to ask.'

John Wathan stepped into the box and was hit by a pitch scoring another run. Onix Concepcion did his part to keep things going and drew a walk scoring the final run of the inning.

Just a quick update...when we get further into this season I'll post full leaderboards and team stats periodically. Currently, it is such a small sample size it's really worthless...

Both teams ended up with 9 on the afternoon. Warren Brusstar(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 2/3 of an inning. Floyd Youmans(1-1) was charged with the loss in relief. After the game, it took a long while before Buck Rodgers emerged from his office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions.

I'm sure you'll find the banter a lot more light-hearted over in the Chicago locker room.'

Phil Bradley stepped up next and he popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 3rd of the season). California had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. The winning pitcher was Frank Wills(2-0) who allowed 1 run in 5 and 1/3 innings. Wills got help from Edwin Nunez who was credited with his 1st save. Jim Slaton(0-2) was given the loss. Gene Mauch was subdued when questioned after the game, 'Sure, this kind of loss takes a while to get over, but heck, we're all professionals. We've been through this many times - it's the nature of the game. We'll be fine - as for me - I'll be ready to go again tomorrow!'

Milwaukee brought 2 runs across the plate in the bottom of the 4th inning. The big moment was provided by Ben Oglivie who came through for the home fans when he tripled bringing in two baserunners. After the 4th inning, neither team was able to score. Higuera got help from Bob Gibson who earned his 1st save. George Bamberger was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back.

Bobby Valentine was obviously impressed with the pitching of Key, '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.'

The win was credited to Blyleven(3-2) who went the whole way allowing 3 runs. The loss was charged to Steve McCatty(0-3). Jackie Moore was in a contemplative mood after the tough loss, 'It is really hard to lose this kind of a game. It may seem weird to some, but it is easier to take the occasional blow-out loss. It is the ones that just barely get away that hurt so much - like this one!' CALIFORNIA AT SEATTLE Angels.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 4 - 6 13 0 Mariners........ 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 1 3 - 7 9 1 Win:Beattie(2-0) Loss:Moore(0-2) Homeruns- G.Thomas(5th), K.Phelps(1st) Gorman Thomas homered and had 3 RBI at The Kingdome as the Seattle Mariners pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the California Angels by the count of 7 to 6.

The Texas bats were silent in the bottom of the 9th. Dave Stieb(4-0) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Tom Henke earned the save, his 6th.

Date: 4/22/1985


Code:
ATLANTA AT HOUSTON Braves.......... 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 3 8 0 Astros.......... 2 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 - 6 11 0 Win:Dipino(4-1) Loss:Forster(0-1) Save:Smith(6th) Phil Garner had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Dave Smith stopped Atlanta cold as the Houston Astros defeated the Atlanta Braves by a score of 6 to 3 at The Astrodome. Houston had 3 runs cross the plate in the bottom of the 7th inning with the help of 4 hits. After an out was recorded, Jose Cruz began the Houston spurt when he laced a one-base hit. After another out, Denny Walling came to the plate and laced a single which scored a run. Walling took second on the throw. Mark Bailey then was walked intentionally. Garner followed and he slapped a base-hit plating one more runner. Terry Puhl stepped into the box and laced a base-hit scoring the final run of the inning. Frank Dipino(4-1) was helped out by Smith who pitched a perfect ninth and recorded his 6th save. Terry Forster(0-1) was charged with the loss in relief. He surrendered 3 runs in 1 and 1/3 innings and saw his ERA increase from 3.60 to 7.11. SAN DIEGO AT LOS ANGELES Padres.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 4 0 Dodgers......... 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 - 4 9 1 Win:Welch(1-0) Loss:Thurmond(0-2) Save:Castillo(2nd) Mariano Duncan had 4 hits at DODGER STADIUM as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 4 to 1.

Bobby Castillo was credited with his 2nd save. The losing pitcher was Mark Thurmond(0-2). He allowed 3 runs and 6 hits in 4 innings. ST. LOUIS AT MONTREAL Cardinals....... 1 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 - 4 9 0 Expos........... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 2 0 Win:Kepshire(1-2) Loss:Gullickson(0-3) Homeruns- C.Cedeno(3rd) Kurt Kepshire blanked Montreal allowing just 2 hits at OLYMPIC STADIUM as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Montreal Expos by the count of 4 to 0. Kepshire(1-2) escaped virtually unscathed against the Montreal hitters. He gave up just 2 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings improving his ERA from 5.29 to 3.46. St. Louis totaled 9 on the afternoon. Bill Gullickson(0-3) was the loser. He was hit hard and gave up 9 hits and 3 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings. 'When Kepshire is on like that it is a tough game to play, no doubt about it,' Buck Rodgers said. 'He always pitches well against us.' PITTSBURGH AT NEW YORK Pirates......... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 6 0 Mets............ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 2 9 1 Win:Gorman(2-0) Loss:Guante(1-2) With the hometown crowd on the edge of their seats, New York Mets came from behind to top Pittsburgh Pirates, 2 to 1. New York had the winning rally in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 runs utilizing 4 base hits. Keith Hernandez led off the inning for New York when he doubled. Gary Carter came next and he banged out a single. Danny Heep then doubled bringing in a run. Clint Hurdle was up next and he smacked a single giving New York the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. New York out-hit Pittsburgh for the game, 9 hits to 6. Tom Gorman(2-0) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1 inning. Cecilio Guante(1-2) suffered the loss in relief. Davey Johnson was in great spirits in his post-game interview. Yet, when asked about his feelings after the thrilling comeback victory, he volunteered, 'I'll tell you this much - I know how my counterpart, Chuck Tanner, feels right now - and it's not very good. It's terrible when you come up on the short end of one of these!' CHICAGO AT PHILADELPHIA Cubs............ 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 3 9 0 Phillies........ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 1 10 0 Win:Eckersley(4-0) Loss:Gross(1-1) Save:Brusstar(1st) In a game for the baseball purist, Dennis Eckersley(4-0) and Kevin Gross(1-1) squared off in a tense pitching duel, Chicago Cubs finally emerged victorious over Philadelphia Phillies, 3 to 1. Philadelphia fell behind quickly as the Chicago offense came through in the first inning as they scored 2 runs on 3 base hits. That was all the offense they were to need. Chicago managed 9 in their victory. Warren Brusstar got the save, his 1st. CINCINNATI AT SAN FRANCISCO Reds............ 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 - 8 15 0 Giants.......... 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 - 2 7 0 Win:Browning(2-3) Loss:Hammaker(3-1) Save:Franco(1st) Homeruns- N.Esasky(1st) Third baseman Nick Esasky had 4 hits and 3 RBI at CANDLESTICK PARK where the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 8 to 2. Esasky was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided much of the offense for the visitors. He smashed a two-run homer (his 1st of the season) in the 1st inning, slapped a one-base hit in the 5th inning, stroked a base-hit in the 7th inning and doubled resulting in a run in the 8th inning. Cincinnati finished with 15 hits while San Francisco ended up with 7. The win went to Tom Browning(2-3) who allowed 1 run in 6 innings. John Franco earned his 1st save. Atlee Hammaker(3-1) ended up with the loss. By giving up 5 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings his ERA increased from 2.84 to 3.91. With this win, Cincinnati has a 7-12 record. They have been 4-6 lately. With the loss, the San Francisco ballclub's record is 10-8.
