KEITH MORELAND Atones for errors
Moreland in Cub lineup to hit, not field CHICAGO (AP) - Keith Moreland of the Chicago Cubs refused to make any excuses about his three errors, letting his bat do the talking as the Cubs came from behind to nip Philadelphia 5-4 and sweep a threegame series. “I couldn’t catch the ball,” Moreland said, after his three errors in sunny, windswept Wrigley Field on Wednesday. But Moreland also contributed three hits, including an RBI single in the first and a clutch three-run double in the seventh, as the Cubs won their fifth straight and seventh in their first eight games. “I let in two runs but I knocked in four,” said Moreland. “Keith Moreland is just a good baseball player,” said Chicago Manager Jim Frey. “He’s always a tough hitter when you need a base hit.” The game was tied 1-1 after six innings, but Ozzie Virgil smacked a two-run homer, the Phillies’ first of the season, off reliever George Frazier in the top of the seventh to build a 3-1 lead. In the bottom of the inning, the Cubs chased Phillies’ starter Shane Rawley with singles by pinch-hitter Steve Lake and Bob Dernier. Then Ryne Sandberg singled off reliever Kevin Gross, 0-2, to load the bases with no outs. Lake scored on a passed ball and Dave Lopes walked to load the bases again and set the stage for Moreland’s base-clearing double. “I went to the plate trying to tie it up,” said Moreland. “I was just trying to put the bat on the ball, but I got the bat head on it and it went into the gap (in right).” Frazier allowed two runs in two innings to pick up the win in his first appearance of the season. Lee Smith recorded his third save, giving up the Phillies’ final run in the ninth on Greg Gross’ double, the third error of the game by Moreland and Glenn Wilson’s groundout. Chicago starter Scott Sanderson had a perfect game through 4-13 rd innings, but gave up a run and two hits in the fifth, and was taken out in the bottom of the inning for a pinch hitter when a groin injury suffered in spring training acted up. Sanderson set his single-game strikeout high as a Cub by striking out eight Phillies. The Phillies lost for the seventh time in eight starts, and already trail the National League East-leading Cubs by six games. “We’re just not getting the job done when it needs to be done,” said Phillies Manager John Felske. His team has scored just 18 runs in eight games, and struck out 11 times Wednesday to total 27 whiffs in the three-game series. Slugger Mike Schmidt has one hit in 23 at bats this season, and was (M Wednesday. “Anyone in a one for whatever slump is pressing,” said Felske of Schmidt. “He’s trying to be aggressive.” Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the first when Moreland singled home Ryne Sandberg. Philadelphia tied the score in the fifth, when Tim Corcoran reached on Moreland’s error at first base, and later scored on Steve Jeltz’ single that came after Moreland had misplayed his foul fly for another error.

Santana surprises Pittsburgh with power; Reds beat Braves
By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer The New York Mets got some power from an unexpected source ... and put the lights out on the Pittsburgh Pirates. “I hit a home run a year, but when I hit it, I hit it good,” said shortstop Rafael Santana after his homer helped the Mets defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-6 Wednesday night. The homer was Santana’s first of the season and only the second of his 89-game major-league career. He also had a double and scored three runs, duplicating Darryl Strawberry’s performance as the Mets won their seventh game in eight starts. In other NL action, Chicago edged Philadelphia 5-4; Cincinnati trimmed Atlanta 6-1; Montreal tripped St. Louis 2-1 and Los Angeles edged Houston 1-0 in 11 innings. Reds 6, Braves 1 Nick Esasky smashed three hits and drove in two runs and Tom Browning scattered six hits to lead Cincinn ti over Atlanta. Esasky singled home a run in a two-run fourth, then singled home another as the Reds broke the game open with three runs in the sixth. Cincinnati added a run in the ninth on Eric Davis’ home run. Browning, 1-0, struck out three and didn’t walk a batter in going the distance
Milwaukee slows down Detroit
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer The Detroit Tigers won’t go 9-0 like they did in 1984. And Manager Sparky Anderson insists they won’t go 35-5 like they did in 1984. But that doesn’t mean they won’t repeat as world champions in 1985. Just when the American League East was starting to fret about another Detroit runaway, the Milwaukee Brewers slowed things down Wednesday by nipping the previously unbeaten Tigers 2-0 behind the two-hit pitching of Danny Darwin. The 1984 Tigers didn’t lose until their 10th game. The 1985 edition only went 6-0 before succumbing. So? “This is a better club than 1984, I’ll answer that for you right now,” Anderson said “I can’t even compare the two; this team is just better. But in the American League East you’d better be better.” Orioles 6, Indians 3 Fred Lynn had three hits and scored

Louis behind a combined four-hitter by Joe Hesketh and Jeff Reardon. Hesketh, a rookie left-hander, struck out five and walked three in his first start c r the year before getting relief help in the eighth from Reardon, who gained his first save. At one point, Hesketh set down 17 straight batters. Cardinals’ left-hander John Tudor, 0-1, nearly matched Hesketh’s performance. After allowing a run-scoring single to Hubie Brooks in the first inning, Tudor managed to escape a two-on, none-out jam in the fifth before the Expos broke through to snap the 1-1 tie. Dodgers 1, Astros 0 Mike Marshall singled to score Mariano Duncan from second base with two out in the llth inning, boosting Los Angeles over Houston. Duncan led off the llth with a single and was sacrificed to second by Bill Russell. After Ken Landreaux struck out, Pedro Guerrero was walked intentionally. Marshall, who had fanned in his previous three at-bats, then singled to score Duncan with the only run of the game. Orel Hershiser, 1-0, who retired the nine batters he faced in relief, earned the victory. Frank DiPino, 0-1, the fourth Houston pitcher, took the loss.

Blue Jays 3, Rangers 1 Jesse Barfield smashed a three-run homer off reliever Dave Stewart in the bottom of the 10th after Texas had broken open a scoreless game in the top of the inning on Toby Harrah’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly off Bill Caudill. Royals 6, Red Sox 1 Charlie Leibrandt pitched a four-hitter and light-hitting Buddy Biancalana drilled a three-run homer to lead Kansas City. Leibrandt lost his bid for his first majorleague shutout since 1981 with one out in the ninth when Jim Rice singled and scored on Mike Easier’s double. Angels 4, Twins 3 Gary Pettis, who struck out four times in California’s previous game, stroked a twoout, two-run single to cap a three-run second inning as the Angels handed the Twins their sixth consecutive setback.
