the New York Mets in 17 innings 3 to 2.

The game was deadlocked at 2 after nine full innings. Pittsburgh won the hard
fought contest in the 17th inning. Gene Alley singled. Alley was safe at
second on a stolen base. Two outs later Gene Clines came up and he slapped a
one-base hit scoring the run. Pittsburgh banged out 13 on the afternoon.

The win was credited to Nelson Briles(5-5) who went 7 innings allowing no
runs. Dave Giusti recorded his 25th save. Ron Taylor(4-1) was the loser in
relief.

Pittsburgh continued their winnings ways improving their record to a division
leading 51-28. They are 8-2 in their last ten games. With the loss New York
now has a record of 41-34.

AL Standings








Baltimore still holds the top spot in the AL East but their grasp is slipping. With Boog Powell hitting .123 0 HR 1 RBI and the starters being inconsistent the Orioles lead has dwindle to 2.5 games over the Tigers. Thanks in large part to losing 7 of their last 10 to include being swept in four games by the Red Sox. The Red Sox led by Reggie Smith (.308 9 HR 15 RBI) and the pitching of Ray Culp and Jim Lonborg have won 9 or their last 10 and are 4.5 games back. In the West the A's stayed consistent behind the stellar pitching of Vida Blue who was named the AL player of the Month for the second time this season. Blue went 5-1 with 3 CG 2 ShO and 48 K's. The Brewers are tying to keep pace but now have to worry about the "Red Hot" White Sox who have won 9 of 10 and currently have a 3 game win streak.

Regan Wildness Dooms Cubs

Phil Regan had control problems and couldn't close what was sure to be a Cubs victory over their long time rivals the Cardinals at Busch Staadium. With one out in the 8th and Torre on 3rd and Beauchamp on first Regan came in to face Ted Sizemore to preserve a 6-4 lead. Regan got Sizemore to flyout to center fielder Brock Davis who then gunned down Torre tagging up at third. After the Cubs were sent down in the top half of the 9th Jerry McNertney led off with a single then Regan developed his control problems. He issued free passes to Dal Maxvill and pinch hitter Joe Hague. After Luis Melendez flied out to shallow right field, Regan then issued walks to Matty Alou and Lou Block scoring McNertney and Maxvill. Joe Torre followed with a game winning single scoring Hague for the Cardinal victory.
The starting pitchers were both relieved and dejected. Ken Holtzman pitched a fine game for the Cubs going 7 strong in the no decision. Bob Gibson went 7 1/3 and served up homers to Joe Pepitone and Billy Williams.

Kirby wins 14th Straight


Clay Kirby needed bullpen help to roll his win streak to 14 as the Padres down the Astros 4-3 in the first game of a twi-light doubleheader. Nate Colbert hit his league leading 26th homer in the 3rd which was followed up by Ollie Brown's 9th of the year to give the Padres the needed runs for the victory. Kirby pitched 7 gutty innings then gave away to the bullpen in the 8th and 9th. Bob Miller notched his 3rd save of the season. The Padres lost the second game 3-2 and remain tied for first in the NL West with the Giants.

Home Run Derby for the A's

Six different Oakland batters hit home runs tonight to include two each from Mike Epstein and Dick Green as the A's pounded the Twins 14-1 at Metropolitan Stadium. Bert Campaneris got it started with a leadoff homer in the first which was all Catfish Hunter needed for run support as he was solid on the mound. By the time the Twins scored their first run the A's had a 4-1 lead. The A's scored in the last three innings to put the game away. With the win and the Brewers being idle, the A's moved into a tie for first.

McNally Does it All


Dave McNally had a day to remember as he single handedly defeated the New York Yankees yesterday. McNally pitched a complete game allowing 1 run on 3 hits while fanning 6 and walking none. But the highlight of his day came at the plate where he was 3 for 3 with 2 homers and 6 RBI's as the Orioles down the Yankees 8-1.

WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Boog Powell robbed Thurman Munson of a base hit.

Dave McNally smashed 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI and he pitched a 3 hitter at
Memorial Stadium as the Baltimore Orioles beat the New York Yankees 8 to
1.

McNally had a great day at the plate. He had the crowd cheering his every
move. He belted a three-run homer in the 2nd inning, bombed a two-run dinger
in the 4th inning and stroked a base-hit bringing in a run in the 6th inning.
Baltimore had a total of 9 hits for the game.

McNally(11-4) lasted until the end allowing 1 run for the win. Steve
Kline(4-10) absorbed the loss. He was knocked around, surrendering 8 runs in
7 innings.

'McNally just dominated us' losing pitcher Kline said. 'Hopefully we can get
to him the next time around'
