World Series Twins back Cardinals into corner after weekend wins

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Minnesota Twins are on their way to St. Louis, two games up in the World Series and coasting along like no other postseason team in history. “We’re on a roll now,” Twins shortstop Greg Gagne said. “Hopefully, we can carry it through.... We’ve got some confidence going into St. Louis.” The Twins won the first two games of the World Series, 10-1 Saturday night and 8-4 Sunday night. They had seven runs in the fourth inning of Game 1, six in the same inning of Game 2. “When I go to the racetrack Tomorrow, I’m going to play ‘4,’” Twins Manager Tom Kelly said. With Sunday’s victory, the Twins not only backed the Cardinals into a corner, they also became the first team in major-league history to Tscore fivd or more runs in seven consecutive postseason games. The Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers in a five-game American League playoff. Their winning Scores were 8-5,6-3, 5-3 and 9-5. They •Jost Game 3,7-6. ; Of the 37 teams that have gone down 2-0 in the World Series, only 10 have come back to win. So what, says Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog. “Two things mean nothing in baseball,” Herzog said, “last year and yesterday.” Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday night at Busch Stadium with rookie Les Straker, 8-10, going for Minnesota against veteran John Tudor, 10-2. Tudor will try to stop St. Louis’ five-game World Series losing streak, dating back to 1985.

Bono leads Steelers to 21-7 drubbing over Colts

PITTSBURGH (AP) John Stallworth made one of the biggest catches of his NFL career, then realized he didn’t know the quarterback who threw the ball, the defensive back who covered him or many of the teammates who were congratulating him. Steve Bono threw two touchdown passes in leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 21-7 replacement team victory Sunday over the Indianapolis Colts but doesn’t know whether he will be rewarded with a promotion or a pink slip. Indianapolis’ replacements won two of their three games, but will find themselves replaced Tuesday by the regular Colts, who were 3-13 last year and 0-2 before the 24-day NFL strike ended last Thursday. Welcome or rather, good-bye to NFL replacement football. A lot of players will be sorry to see it go. “Everybody in this locker room is happy we won the game, but everybody is a little apprehensive about what’s going to happen,’’ Bono said. “It’s a little subdued in here and I guess it is all around the league.” Many players who helped their teams win games Sunday now will lose their jobs and “nobody really knows what their future holds,” Bono said. “I’d like to start Sunday (against the Cincinnati Bengals), but I don’t even know if I’ll be on the roster,” Bono said. “The coaches will make

Sunday’s crowd of 55,257 whistleblowing, hanky-waving fans was Minnesota’s largest baseball crowd ever. Minnesota’s Bert Blyleven got the win Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits through seven innings and striking out eight. The Twins sent 11 men to the plate and chased St. Louis’ starter, Danny Cox in the fourth inning. Tim Laudner, a .191 hitter during the season, had a two-run single in the big inning, then hit a 420-foot homer two innings later. Game 2 was a matchup of the clubs’ two “big game” pitchers. Blyleven, 15-12 for the Twins during the season, was making the third World Series appearance of his career. His Series record now is 2-0, the first victory coming in 1979 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he has a 3-0 record in playoff action, two of those earned this year against Detroit. Blyleven allowed singles in each of the first two innings Sunday but did not give up a run until the fifth. He also gave up a run in the seventh before yielding to Juan Berenguer and Jeff Reardon, who eached worked an inning. Berenguer gave up two runs in the eighth. Cox, 11-9 for the Cards this year, was 1-1 in the playoffs against San Francisco, including a 6-0, eight-hit shutout in Game 7. He started two World Series games in 1985 against Kansas City, and although he had no decisions, he gave up just two earned runs in 14 innings. This time he was gone in 3 2-3 innings, having given up seven runs on six hits and a pair of walks.

Stats in scoreboard that decision and I’ll respect whatever they do.” Bono gave Pittsburgh a 7-0 lead with a 3-yard, first-quarter scoring pass to Stallworth, the veteran wide receiver’s 500th career reception. Bono made it 14-7 early in the fourth quarter with a 20-yard TD pass to rookie running back Merril Hoge. All of the replacements won’t win jobs, but they did earn the respect of their teammates and their coaches, according to Steelers Coach Noll and Colts Coach Ron Meyer. Both the Steelers, 3-2, and the Colts, 2-3. were 2-1 with their substitutes. “You go through life with the cards you’re dealt,” Meyer said. “I told our guys that life isn’t fair and they made the most of this and they can hold their heads high. I told them I was proud to be associated with them.” The Steelers, who had an 18-9 edge in regulars and fielded six pre-strike starters to none for the Colts, struggled offensively but managed to turn three of the Colts’ five turnovers into scores. Earnest Jackson carried 24 times for 134 yards and replacement back Chuck Sanders scored on a 10-yard run in the fourth quarter as the Steelers outrushed the Colts 252-72. Colts quarterback Blair Kiel, replacing the injured Gary Hogeboom, threw three costly interceptions.

JERRY ELAM

Gary Gaetti, MVP of the playoffs, homered off Cox with one out in the second inning to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead. Two innings later, Cox fell apart. With one out in the fourth, Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbek hit consecutive singles. A wild pitch advanced the runners and Gaetti walked, loading the bases. Randy Bush hit an 0-2 pitch into the rightfield corner for a double, scoring two runs. Tom Brunansky was walked intentionally, loading the bases again. The runners held on a flyout to shallow left by Steve Lombardozzi, but Laudner singled home Gaetti

Greg Gagne, who made the first out of the inning, hit a bloop double into right, scoring Laudner. and the Twins led 7-0. The Cardinals finally scored a run in the fifth when Terry Pendleton led off with a single, only the third hit off Blyleven, and Curt Ford walked. Jose Oquendo hit a perfect doubleplay grounder to second baseman Steve Lombardozzi, but Lombardozzi bobbled the ball. All he could get was Oquendo at first, and

the runners advanced. Pendleton then scored on a grounder by Tony Pena. The Cards got another run in the seventh on consecutive two-out singles by Ford, Oquendo and Pena, but lost a chance for more when Puckett threw out Oquendo at third while Ford scored on Pena’s hit. Berenguer came out for the eighth and gave up three hits, including an RBI double by Dan Driessen and a run-scoring single by Willie McGee, but Reardon pitched a scoreless ninth.
