Bob Dernier had 2 base hits and Scott Sanderson pitched 9 strong innings as
the Chicago Cubs topped the Houston Astros by a score of 5 to 1 at The
Astrodome.

Chicago promptly took the lead in their half of the first as they scored 3
runs on 4 base hits.  That scoring would be all that was needed.  Chicago
rapped out 9 hits for the afternoon.  

Sanderson(2-3) allowed 1 run on the game. Nolan Ryan(6-4) absorbed the loss.
'I thought it was my best performance in a long time,' said Sanderson. 'I had

Fernando Valenzuela allowed just 3 hits and Mariano Duncan blasted a homerun
and had 5 RBI as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Montreal Expos 8 to 1
at DODGER STADIUM.

It was a good day for Los Angeles thanks to Duncan.  He lifted one out of the
park for a two run home run (his 4th of the season) in the 2nd inning,
stroked a one-base hit in the 4th inning and doubled plating all three
baserunners in the 5th inning.  Los Angeles banged out 13 on the afternoon.

The win went to Valenzuela(7-1) who allowed 1 run in the game. Bryn Smith(5-3)

Rick Reuschel(4-4) and Joe Johnson(1-2) locked horns in a pitcher's duel with
Reuschel and the Pittsburgh Pirates coming out on top of the Atlanta Braves 2
to 1.

Pittsburgh set the tone of the game in the first inning when they scored 2
runs on 3 hits.  That was all the offense they were to need.  For the game
Pittsburgh out-hit Atlanta 10 to 4.  

Reuschel was helped out by Al Holland who recorded his 3rd save.

NEW YORK AT SAN DIEGO

connected with a 'big fly' and had 2 RBI as the New York Mets outscored the
San Diego Padres 4 to 0.

Fernandez(6-3) was tremendous on the mound for New York.  He allowed just 4
hits and 1 walk in 9 innings seeing his ERA drop from 2.21 to 1.95.  New York
totaled 9 on the afternoon.  

Andy Hawkins(4-6) took the loss.  Fernandez didn't realize how many strikeouts
he was racking up.  When told he had 11 he was obviously surprised, 'No
kidding? Man, I knew that I had a decent total, but I didn't think I had K'd
that many.  Say, that's pretty good, isn't it?'

Dave Lapoint tossed a fine 3 hitter and left fielder Jeff Leonard had 3 base
hits as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies by the
score of 7 to 1 at CANDLESTICK PARK.

San Francisco came up with 4 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning when they
had 6 base hits.  The early run support proved sufficient for Lapoint(5-5)
and San Francisco.  That was all the run support Lapoint required.  San
Francisco had a total of 14 hits for the game.  

The losing pitcher was Jerry Koosman(3-2).  Lapoint was jubilant in the
hometown clubhouse, 'It was a lot of fun out there.  The fans gave me a lot
of support as did my teammates.  We got the victory and I'll sure take 10
strikeouts anytime!'

The St. Louis Cardinals had an easy time of it at BUSCH STADIUM defeating the
Cincinnati Reds by a score of 7 to 2.

St. Louis tallied 3 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning.  Jack Clark led off
and started the attack as he laced a base-knock.  Two outs later Darrell
Porter came up and he drew a walk.  Ozzie Smith then drew a walk to load the
bases.  Kurt Kepshire was up next and he slapped a base-hit, and an error was
also committed, bringing in two baserunners.  Jay Tibbs then threw a high and
inside pitch that got by the catcher; it was ruled a passed ball scoring the
final run of the inning.  St. Louis banged out 9 on the afternoon.  

The victory went to Kepshire(3-2) who went 8 innings, allowing 2 runs. The
loss was charged to Tibbs(1-8).  He surrendered 5 hits and 2 walks in 4
innings.

A's batters at MEMORIAL STADIUM in a day game.  The Baltimore Orioles scored
7 runs for the win.

Baltimore drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning
when they scored 3 runs on 4 hits.  That scoring would be all that was
needed.  Baltimore had 9 hits overall, while Oakland had 6.  

Steve McCatty(1-6) suffered the loss.  He allowed a few too many baserunners
giving up 9 hits and 3 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings.

give up much, just 4 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.  Boston had 13 hits for
the afternoon.  

Dickie Noles(2-4) absorbed the loss.  'He was moving it around and spotting it

The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings.  Chicago was victorious in the
16th inning.  Harold Baines slapped a single.  Mike Jones then bounced one in
the dirt for a wild pitch.  Greg Walker then drew a walk.  Fisk followed and
he doubled making Chicago victorious to the delight of the the home town
crowd.  Overall Chicago out-hit Kansas City 18 to 11.

Shortstop Craig Gerber had 3 base hits as the California Angels beat the
Detroit Tigers by a score of 9 to 7.

California brought 7 runs across the plate in the top of the 3rd inning with
the help of 4 hits.  The big moment was provided by Bobby Grich who quieted
the home crowd when he depressed the partisan hometown fans with a grand slam
home run (his 5th of the season).  Due to a poorly pitched ballgame, scoring
in 5 different innings was still not enough for Detroit to come away with the
victory.  

Jim Slaton(3-3) allowed 7 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. Slaton got help from Donnie Moore who earned his 8th save.  Juan
Berenguer(1-3) was given the loss.  He gave up 5 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings of
work.  

'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Gene Mauch said after the game.  'Slaton did not have command of
his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew how to
pitch!'

Ron Washington was next to the plate, but was promptly struck out.  Kirby
Puckett came up and he slapped a one-base hit giving Minnesota the win and
sending the home town fans into a frenzy.  Minnesota won despite being
out-hit by Milwaukee 14 hits to 9.

Charlie Hough completed the game without help from the bullpen at ARLINGTON
STADIUM where the Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox by the score of 5
to 4.

Hough(5-5) pitched a fine game.  He was reached for 8 hits and 3 walks in 9
innings and surrendered 2 'long-bombs'.  Chicago threatened in the 9th but
their rally came up short.  

Joel Davis(2-2) was tagged with the loss.  Tony LaRussa was clearly
disappointed after the game.  'It was a manager's nightmare out there', he
said, 'We should have had this one.'

Aguilera, when asked about his 10 strikeout performance noted, 'The

11 to 9.

New York had the game winning rally in the bottom of the 9th inning scoring 2
runs on 2 hits.  After an out was recorded, Andre Robertson got things
rolling when he slapped a one-base hit.  Mattingly was next and he cracked a
two-run shot (his 5th of the season) making New York the victor and beginning
a joyous home town celebration.  New York provided plenty of action in the
4th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 7 hits.  The game was a wild affair

Texas.  The pitchers took over after the 3rd inning as neither team was able
to score again.

had 17 hits for the afternoon.  

The losing pitcher was Don Schulze(3-7). He was not very effective,

Brewers by a score of 4 to 3 at ROYALS STADIUM.

Danny Jackson(5-3) was very good in the win.  He didn't allow much, just 3
hits and 3 walks in 8 innings reducing his ERA from 3.97 to 3.68.  Milwaukee
threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.  

Dan Quisenberry recorded the save, his 11th.  Danny Darwin(1-5) suffered the
loss.  With this win, Kansas City has a 25-26 record.  They have been 7-3

separated the combatants at game's end.  The Oakland A's won by the slimmest
of margins, 3 to 2.

Neither team scored in the first nine innings.  Oakland won the game in the
15th inning.  After an out was recorded, Tony Phillips got things rolling
when he ripped a base-knock.  One out later, Steve Henderson came up and he
doubled which scored a run.  Dave Kingman then smashed a two-run homer (his
10th of the season).  Oakland rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon.  

The win was credited to Steve Ontiveros(3-1) who went 2 and 1/3 innings

Mike Smithson shut down the Toronto batters on just 3 hits as the Minnesota
Twins outscored the Toronto Blue Jays 6 to 0.

Toronto batters.  He didn't give up much, just 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings
improving his ERA from 2.72 to 2.46.  After the 2nd inning, neither team was
able to score.

allowing 8 hits and 2 walks.  Milwaukee finished with 9 hits in the victory.

lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 6th of the season).  Minnesota threatened
in the 9th but Chicago was able to put down the rally.

James gained credit for his 8th save.  Pete Filson(1-4) took the loss in

Designated hitter Jose Canseco had 2 base hits as the Oakland A's topped the
Texas Rangers by a score of 4 to 1 at OAKLAND COLISEUM.

Oakland tallied 2 runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning.  The early run support

support Krueger required.  Texas was out-hit by Oakland, 8 hits to 4.  

Jay Howell got the save, his 12th.  Burt Hooton(3-6) was the loser.  He

on the afternoon.

allowing no runs. Scherrer got help from Willie Hernandez who earned his 15th

Code:


BOSTON AT BALTIMORE
Red Sox......... 0 0 0  0 0 1  0 0 0  -  1  3  1
Orioles......... 1 0 0  0 0 0  2 0    -  3  6  1
Win:Stewart(7-1) Loss:Clemens(7-1)

Mike Boddicker reeled off a total of 10 strikeouts as the Baltimore Orioles
outscored the Boston Red Sox 3 to 1.

Sammy Stewart(7-1) won the game with a masterful relief performance.  No one
got on base in his perfect 2 and 2/3 innings.  Baltimore had 6 hits overall,
while Boston had 3.  

Roger Clemens(7-1) ended up with the loss.  He gave up 2 runs and 5 hits in 6
and 1/3 innings.  With this win, Baltimore has a 32-20 record.  They have
been 5-5 lately.  With an impressive recent record of 9-1, Boston hopes this
will only be an isolated loss - followed by another nice run.

KANSAS CITY AT CALIFORNIA
Royals.......... 0 0 0  0 0 1  2 0 0  0 0 0  0 0 0  0 2 -  5 14  3
Angels.......... 0 0 0  0 0 0  0 3 0  0 0 0  0 0 0  0 1 -  4 13  0
Win:Jones(3-2) Loss:Sanchez(0-1)

Willie Wilson had 5 hits at ANAHEIM STADIUM where the Kansas City Royals beat
the California Angels in 17 innings by the score of 5 to 4.

Both teams were tied at 3 runs apiece after nine innings.  Kansas City came
out the victor in the 17th inning.  Wilson started the inning off right when
he ripped a base-knock.  Wilson got a great jump and stole second easily.
After an out was recorded, George Brett stepped in and he was walked
intentionally.  Donnie Moore then fired a sharp breaking ball that appeared
to cross-up the catcher.  In any event, it got by him and was ruled a passed
ball.  Hal McRae stepped into the box and doubled which was good for two
runs.  The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 6th inning.

The winning pitcher was Mike Jones(3-2) who allowed 1 run in 5 innings. The
loss was charged to Luis Sanchez(0-1) in relief.  He gave up 1 hit and 1 walk
in 2/3 of an inning.  


SEATTLE AT CLEVELAND
Mariners........ 0 1 0  0 0 0  0 0 0  -  1  7  0
Indians......... 1 0 0  0 2 0  4 0    -  7 13  0
Win:Smith(4-3) Loss:Langston(2-6) Save:Reed(4th)
Homeruns- B.Jacoby(7th)

In a lop-sided win the Cleveland Indians tallied 4 runs in the 7th inning and
ripped the reeling Seattle Mariners by a 7 to 1 count.

Cleveland took the lead for good in the bottom of the 5th inning when they
tallied 2 runs on 2 hits.  The key at-bat was by Brook Jacoby who thrilled
the crowd when he smashed a two-run homer (his 7th of the season).  For the
game Cleveland out-hit Seattle 13 to 7.  

The win went to Roy Smith(4-3) who allowed 1 run in 6 innings. Jerry Reed
recorded his 4th save.  Mark Langston(2-6) took the loss.  He got hit pretty
hard, allowing 8 hits and 4 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.  


NEW YORK AT MILWAUKEE
Yankees......... 1 0 3  0 1 4  3 0 1  - 13 18  0
Brewers......... 1 0 6  0 0 0  0 0 0  -  7 12  3
Win:Bordi(6-3) Loss:Haas(1-8) Save:Fisher(1st)
Homeruns- D.Winfield-2(10th)

Dave Winfield smacked 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the New York Yankees
defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 13 to 7 at COUNTY STADIUM.

The Milwaukee fans didn't appreciate the big day Winfield had.  He stroked a
base-hit in the 1st inning, bombed a two-run dinger in the 3rd inning and hit
a bases-empty home run (his 10th of the season) in the 5th inning.  New York
simply wore out the Milwaukee pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings.

Rich Bordi(6-3) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 2 and 2/3 innings.
Brian Fisher recorded the save, his 1st.  Moose Haas(1-8) was given the loss.
He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 12 hits and 2 walks in 5 and
1/3 innings.  


CHICAGO AT MINNESOTA
White Sox....... 0 0 0  0 3 2  0 0 1  -  6 10  1
Twins........... 0 1 0  0 1 1  0 0 0  -  3  8  1
Win:Bannister(2-6) Loss:Viola(2-6) Save:James(9th)
Homeruns- G.Walker(7th), D.Engle(4th), T.Laudner(3rd)

At METRODOME the Chicago White Sox outscored the Minnesota Twins 6 to
3.

Floyd Bannister(2-6) was solid if not spectacular.  He was reached for 6 hits
and 1 walk in 5 and 2/3 innings and surrendered 2 'long-bombs'.  Chicago
banged out 10 on the afternoon.  

Bannister got help from Bob James who was credited with his 9th save.  Frank
Viola(2-6) was the losing pitcher.  He pitched 8 innings and surrendered 9
hits and 4 walks.

TEXAS AT OAKLAND
Rangers......... 0 0 0  0 0 1  0 0 0  -  1  7  5
A's............. 0 3 0  0 0 3  0 0    -  6  7  1
Win:Codiroli(10-3) Loss:Noles(2-5)

Chris Codiroli tossed a complete game and left fielder Dave Collins had 2 base
hits and 2 RBI as the Oakland A's topped the Texas Rangers by a score of 6 to
1 at OAKLAND COLISEUM.

Codiroli(10-3) had a strong outing.  He surrendered only 7 hits and 3 walks in
9 innings lowering his ERA to 3.87.  Oakland and Texas each finished the
afternoon with 7 hits.  

Dickie Noles(2-5) was tagged with the loss.  He was not very effective,
surrendering 6 runs in 5 and 1/3 innings.  The Oakland ballclub's record now
stands at a division leading 28-25.  With the loss Texas now has a record of
19-34, worst in the division.

DETROIT AT TORONTO
Tigers.......... 2 0 2  0 0 1  0 1 1  -  7 14  0
Blue Jays....... 2 0 0  0 0 0  0 3 3  -  8 11  1
Win:Lamp(7-1) Loss:Hernandez(2-3)
Homeruns- A.Trammell(4th), B.Martinez(1st), G.Bell-2(16th), J.Barfield(14th)

George Bell launched 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the powerful Toronto Blue
Jays staged a dramatic comeback over the Detroit Tigers by a score of 8 to 7
at EXHIBITION STADIUM.

Toronto had the winning rally in the bottom of the 9th inning with 3 runs
using 2 hits.  Jesse Barfield was the sparkplug when he delivered a solo
blast (his 14th of the season).  After another out, Jeff Burroughs got his
chance to keep things going, but he went down on strikes.  Tony Fernandez
then drew a walk.  Buck Martinez was up next and he blasted a two-run home
run (his 1st of the season) making Toronto victorious to the delight of the
the home town crowd.  Detroit was not lacking for run support as they scored
in 5 separate innings, yet victory eluded them as they seemed to forget that
pitching is also needed to win ballgames.  

The victory was credited to Dennis Lamp(7-1) who went 1/3 of an inning,
allowing no runs. Willie Hernandez(2-3) was charged with the loss in relief.

Lamp and Bell were really whooping it up in the clubhouse after the great come
from behind victory.  As Bobby Cox noted, 'A win like this one can do wonders
for a team's attitude.' Everyone shares in the joy - the fans, the players -
even you guys - it's better than winning by a dozen runs!'

KC making a nice run to get back into the ALW race. 85 wins may win that division. Hopefully, the Dodgers can continue winning and not have to face Ozzie in the NLCS.
