Seaver and Niekro creating problems
By The Associated Press A couple of old National league hands or arms, rather are wearing out American League hitters these days. Tom Seaver, 39, pitched a five-hitter to lead the Chicago White Sox over the Kansas City Royals 2-0 Monday night for his first American League shutout after 17 years in the NL. It was the 277th victory, 57th shutout and 214th complete game of his storied career, which included three Cy Young Awards with the New York Mets. Phil Niekro, who spent 25 years with the Braves, pitched eight innings for his sixth American League victory in seven decisions as the New York Yankees beat Oakland 3-1. The 45-year-old Niekro tied Detroit’s Jack Morris for the league lead in victories while lowering his ERA to 1.04.

Niekro, a knuckleballer, now has 274 career victories and has allowed just four earned runs in 541-3 innings this season. In the rest of the AL, Baltimore downed California 41, Boston defeated Cleveland 6-1 and Detroit beat Seattle 7-5. White Sox 2, Royals 0 Seaver, 4-2, struck out three and didn’t walk a batter, while Scott Fletcher singled in one run and scored the other as Chicago ended Kansas City’s three-game winning streak. “I didn’t have terrific stuff,” Seaver said, “just good.” Seaver said his shutout was special only in that it gave the defending AL West champions a .500 record, 17-17. “It wasn’t any more gratifying than any other game,” Seaver said. “We’ve been struggling to get to .500 and everybody would like to get rocking.” Seaver had both his losses

and two no-decisions before finally winning his first game in the American League in his fifth start. He came into Monday night’s game with a 4.25 ERA, which he lowered to 3.59, but Seaver said he hadn’t really pitched poorly since he was knocked out in the fifth inning of his first start. “I don’t care what the numbers say,” Seaver said. “I’ve pitched pretty well.” Fletcher drove in a run with a single in the second inning, and he tripled and scored on a single by Jerry Dybzinski in the fifth. Yankees 3, A’s 1 Niekro surrendered just four hits in eight innings before leaving with a twinge in his right shoulder. The problem was not considered serious enough to jeopardize his next start. He didn’t allow a run until Rickey Henderson homered with two out in the eighth in-
ning. Niekro said he’d seen too much in his years in the majors to be surprised by his phenomenal success. “I think a lot of other people are surprised, the front office here, people in Atlanta are surprised, but I’ve played the game long enough that nothing surprises me anymore,” Niekro said. Two of New York’s runs scored on Omar Moreno’s seventh-inning triple, and the other scored in the first on an error by second baseman Joe Morgan. Orioles 4, Angels 1 Rich Dauer continued his hot hitting against Geoff Zahn, doubling in two runs and scoring another after a single, and Scott McGregor pitched a five-hitter for Baltimore, which has won 14 of its last 17 games. The Angels, meanwhile, have lost six of seven. Dauer has a .237 batting

By The Associated Press Jose DeLeon found his missing forkball, and the Pittsburgh Pirates found their missing long ball. The Pirates, after three consecutive late-inning losses in Atlanta, got home runs from Jason Thompson and Dale Berra to go with a solid eightinning performance from DeLeon to edge the Houston Astros 3-2 at home Monday night. “I’ll tell you, this feels great. I’m happy tonight,” said Pirates Manager Chuck Tanner, who had called Sunday’s 9-8,10-inning defeat to the Braves “as tough a loss as I can ever remember.” The Pirates, normally one of the most prolific hitting teams in baseball, had hit a National League-low 11 homers until Monday. No other team in the league had hit fewer than 17. Thompson, the Pirates’ cleanup hitter who had managed only two previous homers, drilled a two-run homer in the fourth following Marvell Wynne’s double to give the Pirates and DeLeon a 2-1 lead. Then, after losing pitcher Bob Knepper tied the game at 2-2 with his fourth career homer, Berra came through with the game-winning solo shot in the seventh. DeLeon scattered just three hits over eight innings before leaving in favor of reliever Kent Tekulve because of a blister on his pitching hand. Phillies 3, Dodgers 2 Reliever Tom Niedenfuer hit
average but is hitting .405 lifetime against Zahn, the Angels lefty. Dauer had gone 3-for-26 before his two hits Monday night. Dauer hit his two-run double in the third inning, and the Orioles chased Zahn in the eighth when Dauer singled and scored on a triple by Cal Ripken Jr., who scored on a single by Eddie Murray. McGregor, 5-3, allowed a run in the fourth on a single by Reggie Jackson, a walk and a double by Juan Beniquez. Red Sox 6, Indians 1 Bob Ojeda and Bob Stanley teamed on a three-hitter, and Jim Rice pounded a two-run homer in the first inning as the Red Sox broke a three-game losing streak by beating Cleveland. Ojeda, 4-2, gave up just two hits and one unearned run in the fourth that snapped a string of 19 2-3 scoreless innings. He
pinch hitter Len Matuszek with a pitch with the bases loaded, forcing in the winning run, and Philadelphia extended its winning streak to four games by scoring three runs in the ninth inning against Los Angeles. Jerry Reuss went into the ninth with a two-hit shutout but yielded one run on consecutive singles by Ivan Dejesus, Luis Aguayo and Juan Samuel. That chased Reuss, and Niedenfuer took the mound. Garry Maddox sacrificed the runners ahead, and Niedenfuer walked Mike Schmidt intentionally. An error by first baseman Franklin Stubbs, who earlier had hit his first major league homer, allowed Aguayo to score, and Niedenfuer hit Matuszek with an 0-2 pitch.

Tigers 7, Mariners 3 Pinch-hitter Dave Bergman hit an run-scoring triple in the eighth that enabled Detroit to recover from two Seattle runs in the top half of the inning that had forged a 5-5 tie. Lou Whitaker singled home Bergman with the insurance run that made a winner of Aurelio “Senior Smoke” Lopez, 3-0. With one out in the Tigers eighth, Rusty Kuntz, who had homered earlier, doubled down the line into left for his third hit off Seattle starter Ed Vande Berg, 2-2.
