Padres show good timing
By The Associated Press The San Diego Padres stole a game from the Atlanta Braves, thanks to a rare steal by Kevin Mcßeynolds. “I don’t run much. I like to pick my spots but this looked like a good spot to run in,” the 205-pound outfielder said after scoring the winning run following a two-out, game-tying hit and a stolen base in the ninth inning. Mcßeynolds scored on Bobby Brown’s single to give the Padres to a 5-4 victory Monday night over the Braves. Padres Manager Dick Williams admitted that the sight of Mcßeynolds taking off for second base was “a complete surprise to all of us on the bench. But that was the key play of the game.” The Padres have won four games in a row and 14 of their last 17 to move 2V 2 games ahead of the runner-up Braves in the National League West. With San Diego trailing 4-3, Graig Nettles opened the Padre
Nichols uses rare opportunity
By The Associated Press Although behind by three runs in the ninth inning, the Boston Red Sox had a backup plan. Pinch-hitting reserve Reid Nichols, who hadn’t been to the plate since May 19, used a borrowed bat from Rick Miller, another reserve, to swat a three-run homer that capped a six-run rally and lifted the Red Sox to a dramatic 9-6 victory Monday night over the New York Yankees. “Rick and I did our usual thing in the clubhouse, hitting balls of tape to get ready if we were needed in the late innings, but I only had two bats ready because 1 haven’t been playing much,” Nichols said. Nichols, who explained he shaves the handles of his bats, ran the count to 2-2 and then fouled off four consecutive pitches, breaking his second bat on the last with a foul line drive. Nichols went to the dugout and was handed one of his own bats. He rejected it, though. “Rick shaves his bats like I do, so I wanted one of his,” Nichols said. “Then I got a fast ball up and over the plate. I was hoping I would just hit the ball. I

ninth with a walk off Pete Falcone, who was replaced by Steve Bedrosian, 4-3. Luis Salazar pinch-ran for Nettles and moved to second when Terry Kennedy grounded out following a strikeout by Steve Garvey. Mcßeynolds singled home Salazar to tie the game, then stole second to set up Brown’s game-winning hit after being told by first base coach Jack Krol that Bedrosian did not have a good move to first. “It was a surprise, I wasn’t expecting it,” said Bedrosian. Dave Dravecky, 3-3, who worked the final inning for the Padres, gained the victory. Expos 2, Cubs 1 Tim Wallach led off the ninth inning with his ninth home run of the season on the first pitch from Lee Smith to lead Montreal over Chicago. Smith, 3-4, had put down an Expo rally in the eighth inning in relief of starter Rick Reuschel. Reliever Bob James, 2-3, who pitched two innings,
was so excited I don’t think I realized that it had gone out until I was rounding third. Bill Buckner had tied the score for Boston with a two-run single off reliever Bob Shirley before Nichols batted for Rich Gedman and drilled a 2-2 pitch into the left field screen for his first homer this season. Tigers 5, Blue Jays 4 Lou Whitaker’s two-run homer snapped a 3-3 tie in the fourth inning and pinned a fifth straight defeat on Toronto, extending Detroit’s lead over the Blue Jays to eight games. Whitaker’s homer off Luis Leal, 6-1, was his fifth of the season. Dave Rozema, making just his fourth start of the season, allowed three runs on four hits in his five innings to improve his record to 2-0. Willie Hernandez pitched 2 1-3 innings for his 10th save. Dave Collins’ three-run homer for Toronto, his second of the season, tied the score 3-3 in the third inning. Alan Trammell tripled in the first and scored on Kirk Gibson’s sacrifice fly. In the second, Darrell Evans singled and John Grubb doubled. Chet
was the winner. Mets 3, Pirates 1 Dwight Gooden and Jesse Orosco teamed up on a sevenhitter, and Hubie Brooks and Keith Hernandez homered to lead New York over Pittsburgh. Gooden, 5-3, gave up six hits, struck out six including five in a row at one point and walked two before leaving with two out in the eighth. Gooden’s performance gave him 93 strikeouts to tie him for the NL lead with Fernando Valenzuela of Los Angeles. Orosco came on to notch his 12th save. Cardinals 6, Phillies 4 Darrell Porter’s two-run double highlighted a four-run third inning as St. Louis beat Philadelphia. Danny Cox, who had lost seven and had three nodecisions in his last 10 games, earned his third victory with relief help from Bruce Sutter, who earned his 15th save. Marty Bystrom, 2-3, was the loser. St. Louis turned four double
Lemon drove Evans home with a sacrifice fly and Ruppert Jones doubled, scoring Grubb. Orioles 3, Brewers 1 Scott McGregor scattered seven hits and John Lowenstein drove in one run and scored another, leading Baltimore to victory over slumping Milwaukee. McGregor, 8-4, walked two and struck out five in completing his sixth game in 15 starts. The Brewers have lost four straight games and nine of their last 11.

Veteran Reds are down on manager HOUSTON (AP) Dan Driessen, also a veteran of the Big Red Machine of the 19705, says he wouldn't mind hearing his name in trade talk like shortstop Dave Concepcion. “If they want to talk, I’m wide open. I’ll listen. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens,” said Driessen, a veteran first baseman of the Cincinnati Reds who becomes eligible for free agency at the end of the season. Concepcion, who is also the Reds' captain, says that it might be best if he were traded, with several conditions stipulated. The veteran shortstop is angry about being shifted around from third to first base and being left out of the lineup on Sunday by Manager Vern Rapp. Concepcion also said if Rapp’s plans called for him to be platooned with Tim Foley, he would be open to a trade. “He’s a player, like any other, who has the freedom of expression,” said Rapp. Rapp said he had met with Concepcion on Monday after hearing about his printed complaints. “We didn’t talk about it We talked about things I felt like you have to talk about with players,” Rapp said. “We talked about it,” asserted Concepcion. “Somebody called him and told him about it. ” Rapp said Concepcion is back at shortstop but, “We’ll just have to see with time.” Rapp said he did not tell Concepcion in Los Angeles he would not be in the lineup on Sunday for two reasons. He said Concepcion had an ailing wrist. “I just didn’t have time to tell him (before the game,)” said Rapp. Concepcion said the sore wrist was not a problem.
