Expo fans could see Rose's hit
CINCINNATI (AP) - Montreal outfielder Pete Rose can celebrate a wedding, a birthday, a hitting milepost and a home opener in Montreal aU in the same weekend. After failing to get a hit in his hometown Wednesday, Rose was ready to board the team plane with his new bride and a determination to get his 4,000 th career hit in the Expos’ home opener Friday one day before he turns 43. The former Cincinnati Reds star drew four walks and grounded out in Montreal’s 9-3 victory Wednesday at Riverfront Stadium before a boisterous crowd that littered the field in disgust when Reds pitchers gave Rose little to swing at. His next swing at becoming only the second player ever to reach 4,000 hits should come Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies the team that signed him as a free agent after the

1978 season and released him last year. “Who’s pitching? Carlton?” Rose said, figuring his big hit could come off Phillies’ lefthander Steve Carlton, baseball’s all-time strikeout king. The 18,923 fans in Riverfront Stadium Wednesday hoped it would be either Bruce Berenyi or Frank Pastore giving up No. 4,000. Rose, who played in Cincinnati his first 16 major league seasons, drew three consecutive walks from Berenyi, who started and lasted 3 1-3 innings. Rose took a cut at only one of Berenyi’s offerings, fouling it off. The fans booed Berenyi loudly when he was replaced by Pastore, who retired Rose on a first-pitch grounder back to the mound in the sixth.

Ex-Yankees are doing quite well in
By The Associated Press Things haven’t changed for Graig Nettles and Goose Gossage now that they’re playing in the National League Nettles is still hitting home runs and Gossage is still giving them up. Both former New York Yankee players who came over to San Diego this year continued to do their thing as the Padres defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 Wednesday night. Nettles, who hit 333 home runs in the American League, slugged his first one in the

National with a man on base in the second inning. Gossage, who had a penchant for gopher balls despite being the No. 1 relief pitcher for many years with the Yankees, nailed down Wednesday’s win after giving up a two-run shot to Tommy Herr in the ninth. Tim Lollar, another former Yankee, pitched six strong innings and slugged a three-run homer himself. In other NL games, Montreal beat Cincinnati 9-3; San Francisco edged Pittsburgh 2-1 in 10 innings; New York defeated
Mariners weather storms
By The Associated Press
The red-hot Seattle Mariners played with fire and the Boston Red Sox got burned. When reliever Dave Beard struck out Boston slugger Jim Rice with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning and preserve a 5-1 lead, the Mariners never dreamed they would face the same situation an inning later. The Red Sox had pushed across three runs and had the bases loaded once more, again with two out. And who should step to the plate but the man who led the American League in 1983 with 39 home runs. This time, the Mariners brought in Roy Thomas, the fourth pitcher of the inning. “I try to practice not knowing who is at the plate. The intent was not to let him hit the ball hard,” said Thomas, who set up his out pitch, a slow curve, with sliders. “It was away enough where he couldn’t handle it.” All Rice could do was hit a fly ball to left field and the
Atlanta 6-1; Philadelphia nipped Houston 7-6 and Los Angeles turned back Chicago 21. Lollar shut out the Cardinals through the first five innings, but left after giving up three runs in the sixth, two on Darrell Porter’s second homer of the year. After Lollar left, Craig Lefferts and Gossage finished up. The Padres battered Joaquin Andujar for five runs in the second, as Lollar blasted his three-run homer and Nettles his two-run job. “I guess I might have been pressing waiting for the first one,” said Nettles. “To hit one and have it play a part in the game is great.” Lollar’s home run gave him six for his major league career. “I always go up to hit the ball hard,” said Lollar, an AllAmerican designated hitter at the University of Arkansas. “I like to take my swings and air it out, I don’t want to be cheated

Mariners had dodged another bullet to win 5-4. Angels 9, Brewers 5 Rookie right-hander Ron Romanick scattered nine hits for his first major-league victory before needing last-out help. Romanick, who held the Brewers to one run until the nin th, was supported by California’s biggest offensive outburst of the season, including three RBI by Reggie Jackson. Rob Wilfong homered for the winners. Despite the triumph, Romanick said he was “mad at myself for not getting through the whole game. I fell behind on some borderline pitches and I had to come down the middle. That’s how you get yourself in trouble. I’ll settle for the win and hope to improve on it next time.” White Sox 6, Indians 1 Scott Fletcher drove in one run and scored another and Greg Walker hit a three-run homer to back the four-hit pit-
atthe plate.” Expos 9, Reds 3 Andre Dawson drove in four runs to pace Montreal over Cincinnati as the Expos’ Pete Rose drew four walks, grounded out once and failed to get his 4,000 th career hit. Rose walked in the first, second, fourth and eighth innings and hit a bouncer back to the mound in the sixth. He scored Montreal’s first run, drawing the first walk from Bruce Berenyi, 0-2, and coming around on Bryan Little’s double and Dawson’s grounder. Dawson was credited with an RBI when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth, then the outfielder walloped a two-run double in Montreal’s four-run eighth to complete the scoring. Giants 2, Pirates 1 Jack Clark’s bases-loaded single with one out in the 10th inning broke a tie, boosting San Francisco over Pittsburgh. Clark, who beat the Pirates

Fletcher tripled a run home against Bert Mlyleven in the fir st inning and scored on Ron Kit tie’s sacrifice fly while Walker's wrapj>ed it up against George Frazier in the eighth Dotson was in such command that he even threw some split fingered fastballs in the last few innings Dotson said he had never thrown the pitch during a game and hadn’t even experimented much with it on the sidelines, but decided to use it as “something to mess around with . . . keep them off-balance by taking a little bit of speed off my fastball.” “He overmatched us,” said Cleveland Manager Pat Corrales said. Royals 5, Orioles 2 Jorge Orta singled for the only hit in Kansas City’s fourrun fourth inning and the Royals went on to hand the defending world champions their fifth loss in six games this season.Orta’s looping single scored Pat Sheridan, who stole

with an eighth-inning homer Tuesday night, singled down the third-base line after the Giants had loaded the bases on two walks and a single. Reliever Gary Lavelle, who blanked the Pirates over the last three innings, was the winner. Cecilio Guante, who started the 10th, took the loss. Mets 6, Braves 1 Mookie Wilson and Hubie Brooks drove in two runs apiece and Walt Terrell and Doug Sisk combined on a five-hitter to lift New York over Atlanta. The victory was the sixth straight for the Mets, whose 6-1 record is the best start in the team’s 23year history. Terrell gave up five singles and left the game with two out and the bases loaded in the eighth inning. Sisk walked a run home before getting the last out of the inning.

I>oserMike Boddicker then walked Hal Mcßae, Frank White and Steve Balboni to force Orta home with the second run and was lifted after throwing two more balls to Butch Davis. Dennis Martinez completed the walk to Davis, forcing Mcßae home. After Don Slaught grounded into a double play by way of the plate, Balboni, who homered in the sixth, scored on a wild pitch for a 4-0 lead. Baltimore’s runs came on homers by Murray and Rick Dempsey. Winner Larry Gura allowed four hits in seven innings. “I made some close pitches to Mcßae,” said Boddicker. “After that, I just lost the plate. I thought I’d go six or seven innings. I just couldn’t get the ball over the plate. That happens once or twice a season. I hope it’s out of my system.”

Dodgers 2, Cubs 1 Mike Scioscia’s sacrifice fly in the sixth inning scored Pedro Guerrero to snap a 1-1 tie and boost Los Angeles over Chicago. Rick Honeycutt went the distance for Los Angeles, the first Dodger pitcher to hurl a complete game this season. The left-hander scattered seven hits, struck out five and walked no one. Scott Sanderson took the loss. The Dodgers scored in the second inning on Scioscia’s single. The Cubs tied it in the fourth on an RBI single by Keith Moreland. Cubs Manager Jim Frey was impressed with Honeycutt. “He didn’t give in,” Frey said. “We got a few hits, but we couldn’t bunch them.” Redbirds winners By The Associated Press Redbirds pitchers Kevin Hagen and Dave Von Ohlen provided the one-two punch Louisville needed to hold Denver back in their American Association contest Wednesday night. The pitching pair combined for a three-hitter as Louisville downed the Bears 4-2. In other league action, Indianapolis edged Oklahoma City 3-2. Evansville at Wichita and lowa at Omaha were rained out. Hagen had a shutout going into the eighth when first baseman Joe DeSa doubled to bring home Ted Wilbom and Daryl Boston. Jack Ayer had an RBI double in the fourth for the Redbirds. Vince Coleman batted in a run and then scored on a grounder by Terry Pendleton in the fifth. Gary Rajsich wrapped up Louisville’s scoring with an eighth-inning home run. In Indianapolis, Gene Glynn rapped a single to drive in the go-ahead run and Razor Shines drove in the winning run to lead the Indians past the 89ers.
