Murphy can't play much better

By BEN WALKER AP Sports Writer Now, what will Dale Murphy do in May? “He had better cool off or he will end the season with 200 RBls,’’ Cincinnati playermanager Pete Rose said Tuesday night after Murphy belted a two-run double that capped a five-run seventh inning and carried the Atlanta Braves past the Reds 8-4. Murphy finished an incredible opening month with 29 runs batted in, which tied the major-league record for most RBIs in April, set by Ron Cey in 1977. Murphy batted .380 ( 27-for-71) with nine home runs during the month. Murphy had one last chance to break the RBI mark, but struck out in the ninth. “I was thinking about it. It crossed my mind,” he said. “But I know when I think like that, it affects my swing.”

Pistons make big mistake, Bird gets mad By WILLIAM R. BARNARD AP Sports Writer When Detroit’s Bill Laimbeer added injury on injury to Larry Bird, the Celtics’ star made sure it was the Pistons who were the most seriously wounded. Bird scored 30 of his playoff career-high 42 points in the second half Tuesday night, most of them after taking an accidental blow to the chin from Laimbeer late in the third quarter, as the Celtics beat the Pistons 121-114 for a 2-0 lead in their National Basketball Association playoff series. “Laimbeer is frustrated at the way he is playing, he is not playing as well as he can,” said Bird, who at halftime cast aside a protective bandage that covered his injured right elbow. “The worst thing to do is get him upset,” Boston Coach K.C. Jones said of his superstar forward. Bird had only 12 points in the first half as Boston took a 59-53 lead. He added 11 before the collision with Laimbeer with 1:17 left in the third quarter and Boston guarding a slim 83-80 lead. Despite a bloodied chin, Bird, the 1983-84 NBA Most Valuable Player, immediately hit another basket before the end of the period, then added 17 more in the fourth quarter to help the Celtics keep the Pistons at bay. Bird also had 10 rebounds in addition to his 42 points. “He is not mortal,” Detroit Coach Chuck Daly said. Lakers 134, Trail Blazers 118 Los Angeles, despite equaling its smallest victory margin in five playoff games, left little doubt of the outcome in Game 2 against Portland. “We ran away with the game early,” Lakers Coach Riley said. “That’s been the situation in all of our five playoff games thus far. But it was the first game where the opposition wasn’t either tired or injured.” A 10-2 streak by the Blazers gave them some hope early in the second quarter as they trailed only 41-40. But Byron Scott scored 10 points in the next four minutes to spark a 21-1 scoring spree that put Los Angeles ahead 62-41. Scott finished with 31 points and made 13 of 17 field-goal attempts. James Worthy contributed 21 points for Los Angeles, while Earvin “Magic” Johnson had 18 assists, 19 points and nine rebounds. 76ers 112, Bucks 108 Philadelphia held off a Milwaukee rally down the stretch to edge closer to an Eastern Conference final confrontation with the archrival Celtics. Nuggets 130, Jazz 113 Dan Issel, playing in his last NBA playoffs before retirement, scored 14 of his 24 points in the second quarter when Denver took control against Utah.

In other National League games, Philadelphia hammered Montreal 11-0, New York beat Houston 4-1, Chicago downed San Francisco 3-1, Pittsburgh tripped San Diego 6-2 and St. Louis defeated Los Angeles 6-1. Murphy does not know exactly how to explain his April barrage. “I don’t know what it is but I am getting a lot of chances to drive in runs,” he said. Rose went 2-for-4 and raised his hit total to 4,112. He needs 80 hits to break Ty Cobb’s all-time hit mark of 4,191. Phillies 11, Expos 0 Von Hayes continued his torrid hitting while Jerry Koosman scattered 11 singles for a shutout in Philadelphia. Hayes went 4-for-5, including a double, while scoring two runs and driving home two more. He is 20-for-41 in his last 10 games with 11 RBIs during that stretch.

Mets 4, Astros 1 Dwight Gooden pitched a four-hitter and struck out eight to help New York win at home.

Cubs 3, Giants 1 Ryne Sandberg showed more signs of breaking out of the 1985 doldrums by going 3-for-4, including two doubles. Sandberg, who entered the game batting just .159 higher than he’s been hitting most of the month doubled home the tying run in the third inning and then scored. Winner Steve Trout, 4-1, gave up nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. He was helped by four Chicago double plays. Pirates 6, Padres 2 Jason Thompson got Pittsburgh off to a good start with a two-run homer in the first inning and Steve Kemp doubled home two more runs in the sixth for insurance. Thompson’s second home run of the season capped a three-run outburst against LaMarr Hoyt, 2-2. Rick Rhoden, 1-3, went the first five innings for the victory.
