Hall beginning to produce like Indians expect

By BEN WALKER AP Sports Writer The Cleveland Indians have patiently been waiting for Mel Hall to produce. And finally, the young outfielder they acquired in a recent trade showed why his new team was so anxious to get him. Hall cracked a two-run double in the eighth inning and then belted a three-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the 10th Wednesday night to rally the Indians past the Minnesota Twins 6-4. , “Having him in the lineup has helped the whole club,” said Cleveland Manager Pat Corrales of the 23-year-old Hall, whom they got from the Chicago Cubs in a multi-player deal two weeks ago. Hall, who finished second in the National League rookie of the year voting last season, had not driven home a run in his first six games with the Indians. But he cracked a two-out, two-run double off reliever Ron Davis in the eighth inning to pull Cleveland into a 3-3 tie. Then, after the visiting Twins scored in the top of the 10th on Randy Bush’s sacrifice fly, Hall came through again with his home run, also off Davis, 3-6. “I told Ronnie to try to get the pitch up-and-away,” said Minnesota Manager Billy Gardner. • “I guess he tried to, but he got it in the same place as the pitch he hit for the double.” : In other American League games, New York rallied past Detroit 5-4, Chicago jolted Seattle 9-7, Oakland trounced Kansas City 9-5, Baltimore held off Boston 3-1, Milwaukee topped Toronto 5-1, and California nipped Texas 2-1. Yankees 5, Tigers 4 Roy Smalley hit a sacrifice fly to cap a three-run rally in the eighth inning as New York was able to shake up Detroit’s bullpen. It was only the second time in 42 games this season that the Tigers had led in the seventh inning and eventually lost. Carl Willis, who relieved Detroit starter Dave Rozema after six innings, walked Butch Wynegar to start the eighth. Don Mattingly then singled, making him 3-for-4 and raising his average to .349. Don Baylor doubled home one run off Willis, 0-1, and then Doug Bair yielded an RBI groundout to Steve Kemp and Smalley’s sacrifice fly. The Yankees were without Manager Yogi Berra, who is suffering from a viral infection. Coach Jeff Torborg ran the team. New York complained that Rozema, a right-hander, began his windup with his left foot in front of the rubber, which they claimed is illegal, and announced they were playing the game under protest. White Sox 9, Mariners 7 Harold Baines crashed a tworun, two-out homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to make a winner of Chicago and reliever Salome Barojas. But when Seattle left Comiskey Park, the Mariners took Barojas with them, having acquired him in a trade for two minor leaguers. Baines’ 12th homer came off Ed Nunez and landed in the upper deck in right field. Seattle had scored once in the top of the ninth on Barry Bonnell’s RBI forceout to make it 77. Angels 2, Rangers 1 Texas starter Mike Mason retired the first 19 California batters. But in the seventh inning, he lost his perfect game when Dick Schofield doubled. One out later, he lost his shutout when Doug DeCinces cracked an RBI single. And in the ninth, Mason got charged with the loss when The Giants played in the shortest and longest maiorleague nine-inning baseball games. In New York, in 1919, they needed only 51 minutes to beat the Phillies, 6-1. As the San Francisco Giants in 1962 they outlasted the Dodgers, 8-7, in 4 hours, 18 min«^es.

Mike Brown tripled with one out and Brian Downing hit a sacrifice fly off reliever Tom Henke to produce the tiebreaking run. California’s Mike Witt also pitched well. He left in the ninth inning after a walk and a oneout double by Bobby Jones, the fifth hit by the Angels. Reliever Luis Sanchez intentionally walked Donnie Scott to load the bases, but then struck out pinch hitter Marv Foley and got Curtis Wilkerson on a forceout for his eighth save. Witt struck out nine to increase his AL-leading total to 96. Orioles 3, Red Sox 1 Scott McGregor, shelled in his previous two starts, was in and out of trouble all night in Baltimore. Yet he and the Orioles led 3-0 going into the top of the ninth. Boston then loaded the bases with two outs and Dwight Evans singled to pull the Red Sox within 3-1 and finish McGregor. Sammy Stewart was summoned to face Jim Rice with the bases still loaded. Stewart earned his second save by getting Rice on a flyout. A’s 9, Royals 5 Oakland scored in every inning but the eighth, helped by two home runs from Dwayne Murphy and solo shots by Davey Lopes, Rickey Henderson and Dave Kingman, who leads the majors with 20. Kingman finished with three RBI. The A’s took the final three games of the series in Kansas City after suffering a teamrecord 16-0 loss on Monday night. Brewers 5, Blue Jays 1 Milwaukee scored five runs in the first inning and breezed the rest of the way to complete a four-game sweep of visiting Toronto. Robin Yount, Ceil Cooper, Ben Oglivie and Ted Simmons delivered consecutive RBI singles as the Brewers raked Blue Jay starter Jim Clancy and reliever Jim Acker. Chuck Porter, 6-3, went five innings for the victory and Tom Tellmann went the final four for his first save.

Phillies pulled 'Gooden'on Mets

By DICK BRINSTER AP Sports Writer The Philadelphia Phillies, who had not faced New York’s rookie strikeout artist Dwight Gooden in 11 previous meetings between the National League East leaders, seized the opportunity and shelled the 19-year-old Met sensation. While the record will show that the Phillies beat the Mets 51 Wednesday night night to move into first place, they didn’t come away unimpressed with Gooden. “If he continues that way he’s going to be a great one,” said Phillies’ Manager Paul Owens. “He has a 'tood fastball, breaking pitches and poise.” “He’s one of the hardest throwers I ever faced,” said rookie outfielder Jeff Stone, a .471 hitter whose triple drove in the first run in Philadelphia’s decisive five-run third inning. “But he didn’t get the fastball in enough on my triple.” Gooden, second in the league in strikeouts to Fernando Valenzuela of Los Angeles, surrendeded six hits in the fifth to absorb his fifth loss in 11 decisions. He left for a pinch hitter in the sixth after striking out six batters to raise his total to 113. “I didn’t think I threw that badly,” Gooden said “Sometimes you have good stuff and guys hit you anyway. Sometimes you get by without anything. It’s all part of the game.” The fifth-inning blitz made a winner of Marty Bystrom, 44, who has labored in virtual obscurity since posting a 5-0 record in the stretch drive for the 1980 world champion Phillies. Larry Andersen finished up to gain his second save. Elsewhere, it was Chicago 8, Pittsburgh 7; San Francisco 14, Cincinnati 9; Atlanta 6, Houston 4; Montreal 4, St. Louis 2, and Los Angeles 5, San Diego 4. Dodgers 5, Padres 4 Valenzuela struck out 11 bat-

ters to raise his total to 120, but barely won the game after pitching 8 2-3 shutout innings. Valenzuela, who gave up seven hits, retired 14 out of 16 hitters in one stretch to even his record at 8-8. Steve Garvey singled to start the Padre uprising. Carmelo Martinez doubled for one run and Graig Nettles singled for another to finish Valenzuela. Reliever Tom Niedenfuer hit Champ Summers with a pitch and Bobby Brown followed with a two-run single before Niedenfuer got his 11th save by fanning Kevin Mcßeynolds to end the game. Cubs 8, Pirates 7 Chicago’s Ryne Sandberg, who drove in three runs with his 10th homer and a single, led off the 11th inning with a double off Rod Scurry, 1-4, and scored the winning run when Scurry walked Jody Davis with the bases loaded. A run-scoring double by Gary Matthews broke a 6-6 tie in the eighth inning, but the Pirates tied it in the ninth when Jim Morrison, who hit his first home run earlier, tripled home Tony Pena. Davis hit his 13th homer for the Cubs and Lee Mazzilli hit his third for Pittsburgh. Tim Stoddard, the fourth Cub pitcher, worked two scoreless innings to up his record to 5-1. Giants 14, Reds 9 Chili Davis slammed a pinchhit grand slam homer to cap a five-run fifth inning that reclaimed the lead for San Francisco, which earlier blew a 5-0 bulge. Cincinnati bunched five hits
