Joyner spoils no-hit bid in ninth
Terrell comes oh so close
By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer Walt Terrell was within one out of a no-hitter. Then, Wally Joyner made sure again that the California Angels were not part of history. Terrell pitched 8 2-3 hitless innings Wednesday night before Joyner lined a clean double to right field as the Detroit Tigers beat the Angels 30. “I’m not disappointed. I just wanted to win the game,” Terrell said after finishing with a one-hitter. For Joyner, it marked the second time in his rookie season that he had broken up a no-hitter with a ninthinning double. He spoiled the bid by Texas’ Charlie Hough with a one-out double on June 16. “I thought about the Hough game, not in the on-deck circle, but in the bottom of the eighth inning,” Joyner said. “I didn’t want to walk off the field knowing that I made the last out of a no-hitter. That would have been embarrassing. I was relieved a little bit. I knew it was a base hit right away.” Terrell, 11-9, had retired 16 straight hitters before Joyner came to bat in the ninth. The left-handed Joyner pulled Terrell’s first pitch into the right-field corner.

“I’d throw the same pitch to him again maybe a little more inside. You can’t second-guess yourself. If you do that, you’re not going to last in baseball,” Terrell said. The Angels had not come close to a hit at Tiger Stadium before Joyner doubled. And while Terrell’s teammates stuck with superstition and did not talk to him about his progressing no-hitter, they were talking among themselves. Right fielder Kirk Gibson and shortstop Alan Trammell even bet on it. “When we took the field to start the ninth, I said to Tram, ‘A buck, you choose,”’ Gibson said. “Tram said he’d do it. I’d have paid a buck to see him do it. Jeez. He just hung a slider with nothing on it. ” Terrell struck out three and walked three in his ninth complete game and third shutout. He was trying to become the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the major leagues since California’s Mike Witt threw a perfect game in Texas on Sept. 30,1984. The Tigers broke a scoreless tie in the seventh against John Candelaria, 6-2, on RBI singles by Darrell Evans and Mike Heath. Trammell hit his 12th home run of the season in the eighth, off Doug Corbett. Red Sox 9, Twins 1 Roger Clemens, the top winner in the major leagues, pitched a two-

hitter for his 19th victory as Boston beat Minnesota. Clemens, 19-4, struck out six and increased his AL-leading total to 186, while walking a season-high six. He also lowered his league-best ERA to 2.54. Rangers 7, Royals 1 Charlie Hough tossed three-hit ball for 8 2-3 innings and reliever Dale Mohorcic tied a major-league record in getting the final out as Texas downed Kansas City. Hough, 10-8, ended his four-game losing streak. He threw a runscoring wild pitch in the first inning, but went on to retire 18 straight batters. Blue Jays 4, White Sox 1 Lloyd Moseby connected for a tworun homer and Joe Johnson pitched eight strong innings as Toronto beat Chicago for its fifth straight victory. Johnson, 3-1, shut out the visiting White Sox on five hits for eight innings before leaving after allowing a leadoff single in the ninth. Yankees 5, Mariners 2 Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield hit two-run homers and New York broke a three-game losing streak by beating Seattle. The visiting Mariners had won four straight games. Brewers 6, Indians 3 Rob Deer and Ernest Riles hit three-run homers and Bill Wegman combined with two relievers on a sixhitter as Milwaukee, last in the AL East, got back to .500 by beating Cleveland. Julio Franco drove in all three Indians runs.

The Indians maintained their 5M>game Eastern Division lead over Buffalo, a 13-8 winner over Louisville in the only other American Association game scheduled Wednesday night. Shines, who drove in two runs, hit a solo homer in the seventh inning, and Wright connected with two teammates on in a 4-run eighth inning. Nashville jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first inning with the help of a tworun triple by Matt Nokes. The Indians scored four runs in the bottom of the first and gained a 6-4 lead against loser Jeff Conner, 3-9, in the third inning. Winning pitcher Rodger Cole, 11-4, allowed four runs on eight hits in working the first eight innings.

WALT TERRELL Good for 8 2/3
Carman nearly perfect for Phiily
Bell continues power groove for Cincinnati
By BILL BARNARD AP Sports Writer Buddy Bell, usually satisfied with making solid contact, is showing that he’s also capable of carrying some thunder in his bat. “The home runs are a surprise,” Bell said after his sixth homer in seven games carried the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday night. An infield hit by Bell, an error, another infield hit and a soft single by Bo Diaz gave the Reds a 1-0 lead in the first. They extended the lead to 3-0 in the fifth when Kal Daniels tripled and Bell followed with his 15th homer, three less than his career high for a season. “Sometimes it seems so easy, other times you can’t figure it out,” Bell said of his recent hitting streak. “It must be in the water or something.” Cincinnati right-hander Bill Gullickson, 10-8, pitched shutout ball for eight innings against the Cardinals. A leadoff homer in the ninth by Andy Van Slyke, who went 4-for-4, accounted for St. Louis’ only run. Phillies 1, Giants 0 Don Carman retired 24 straight San Francisco batters before Bob Brenly hit a sun-aided double leading off the ninth, then Philadelphia won it in the 10th on Juan Samuel’s homer. Carman, who has spent most of his career in the bullpen, was trying to become the 16th major-league pitcher to throw a perfect game. But Brenly’s long drive, which went off the glove of center fielder Milt Thompson, ended his hopes. “When it was first hit, I was sure it

was going to be a home run. I was thinking about going from a perfect game to a loss in one pitch,” Carman, 6-4, said. Pirates 4, Astros 1 First-place Houston stayed 7% games ahead of San Francisco despite losing to Pittsburgh and Rick Rhoden. Rhoden, 14-7, knocked in the Pirates’ first run and pitched a fivehitter, retiring the last 16 Houston batters after giving up a fourthinning single to John Mizerock. With Pittsburgh trailing 1-0, Rhoden tied the score with a single in the fourth inning and later scored on a three-run double by Bobby Bonilla off Bob Knepper 15-9. Rhoden’s hit broke a streak of 21 consecutive scoreless innings by the Pirates overall and 36 straight against the Astros. Mets 7, Dodgers 5 New York, leading the NL East by 18Vfe games, posted its first series sweep in Los Angeles since 1968 by beating the Dodgers for the third straight time. Sid Fernandez, 14-4, won for the ninth time in his last 11 decisions although he gave up all five Los Angeles runs in the fifth. Braves 8, Cubs 3 David Palmer pitched and batted Atlanta past Chicago. Palmer, 9-8, allowed five hits in 7 1-3 innings and combined with Jeff Dedmon on a six-hitter. Palmer also keyed a 17-hit attack by the Braves with three hits and three RBI. Padres 3, Expos 2 Hot-hitting Kevin Mcßeynolds homered twice in support of Eric Show as San Diego edged Montreal.
Grand jury taking break in Bias case UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) The grand jury investigating the death of University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias is taking a break after hearing from top school officials, including head Coach Lefty Driesell. The grand jury, which appears to be nearing the end of its work, will be back next Tuesday “to hear more testimony relevant to the case of Len Bias,” Arthur A. Marshall Jr., the prosecutor heading the investigation, said Wednesday. The jurors will return again Sept. 10, at which time they are expected to wrap up their work, returning more criminal indictments and issuing a report on drug use and academic problems at the university’s main campus at College Park. Driesell, Athletic Director Dick Dull and John Slaughter, chancellor at College Park, testified Wednesday during one of the longest sessions of the investigation so far. Driesell and his lawyer, Edward Bennett Williams, arrived early in the morning at the Prince George’s County courthouse and left in the middle of the afternoon, escorted through a side door by sheriff’s deputies. The two men slipped hurriedly into a waiting pots for perjury and obstruction of justice last week, they still have not voted on any other charges, the prosecutor said after Wednesday’s session was completed. Marshall would not discuss the testimony except to say that “everybody who was supposed to testify did testify.” Most of Wednesday’s testimony dealt not with criminal matters but with questions about the university’s athletic program, one source, who asked not to be named, said. When Driesell left with his lawyer, he would not say whether he agreed to waive immunity from prosecution before testifying. The Washington Post quoted Williams as saying Driesell did agree to waive immunity. Marshall said before the grand jury proceedings began that he wanted to question Driesell about what he told members of the Maryland basketball team at a meeting held just hours after Bias died in his dormitory room June 19 of cocaine intoxication. Marshall said he would consider recommending the indictment of Driesell on obstruction of justice charges if he told his players to remove any evidence or to refuse to cooperate with police handling the investigation.
