Astros close gap to 1 Vz games in N.L. West
By The Associated Press Nolan Ryan may be the best pitcher in the National League this season. And he finally got a victory to prove it. Ryan ended his eight-game losing streak Tuesday night by combining on a three-hitter with Dave Smith as the Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0. Ryan, 5-13, won for the first time since June 12, a span that included three no-decisions and matched the longest losing skid of his career. He pitched seven innings and gave up three hits, walked two and struck out nine. “I didn’t worry about it that much. It was one of those things that sooner or later was going to come,” Ryan said. “I think the guys felt much worse about it than I did.” The Houston hitters had failed Ryan, scoring just 13 runs in the eight starts he lost. Ryan lowered his earned run average to 2.95, third-best in the league. He has struck out 190, one behind teammate Mike Scott for the NL lead, in 149 2-3 innings and allowed just 109 hits. Smith pitched two hitless innings to get his 20th save. In other NL games, Montreal beat Los Angeles 2-1, Pittsburgh stopped
Toronto maintains A.L. East lead
By The Associated Press Dave Stieb said it was the kind of game that could lift the spirit of the Toronto Blue Jays for days. For Tom Henke, it was just another victory. Stieb and Henke, along with slugger George Bell, played key roles Tuesday night as the Blue Jays rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Toronto took a half-game lead in the American League East into the day’s play, but the Blue Jays already knew that second-place Detroit had won its game before they took the field on the West Coast. ‘‘There was some scoreboard watching,” said Henke, who pitched the final inning for his club-record 28th save. “We couldn’t miss that (Detroit) score. It was right out there in front of us. Stieb, 13-5, pitched a three-hitter for eight innings for his seventh straight victory. He trailed 1-0 until Bell hit a two-run homer with two outs in the eighth, giving him 37 homers and 102 RBI for the season. In other AL games, it was Cleveland 9, Milwaukee 8 in 12 innings as the Brewers’ Paul Molitor hit in his 33rd straight game; Detroit 11 11, Minnesota 2; Boston 14, Chicago 8; Texas 3, Kansas City 1; Baltimore 4, California 1, and New York 4, Seattle 3. Bell homered off Dennis Eckersley, 6-6. Stieb struck out seven and walked four before Henke recorded his 15th save in his last 15 save opportunities. Tigers 11, Twins 2 Detroit snapped Minnesota’s fourgame winning streak as Larry Herndon drove in five runs with two
