Key is key to win BOSTON (AP) — Teammates are Jimmy Key's biggest boosters. “If I was in the seventh game of the World Series, I'd want him pitching for me,” Toronto Blue Jays veteran Lloyd. Moseby said Tuesday night after Key's 8-3 American League baseball victory over the Boston Red Sox. Slugger Jesse Barfield said: “He's an experienced pitcher and he’s got good stuff. If you don't get him early, you don't get him at all.” Rance Mulliniks said: “He has great mental toughness and he's got the stuff to back it up.” Kelly Gruber, who has 10 homers as ‘a spot player, added: “He always seems to keep the score down enough to keep us within striking distance.” Key settled down after a rocky start. He allowed nine hits, a walk and three runs in the first four innings. Then, after Moseby tied thé score 3-3 with a two-run single in the fifth, Key surrendered just two hits and faced only 16 batters the rest of the way. “Key showed a lot of courage,” Tor- onto manager Jimy Williams said after the Blue Jays moved 1'/2 games ahead of the New York Yankees in the East Division race. “They had their chances early,” Williams added. “They didn't hit him hard, but hits are hits. “Jimmy hung in there, though, and after the fourth inning he seemed to get stronger.” “We had our chances early, but we didn’t fully capitalize on them. Then Key did an excellent job of shutting us down,” said Boston manager John Mc- Namara. “I was just trying to hang in there,” said Key, who has a 2.87 earned run average and a 14-6 record. “I wasn't throwing the ball well at all. “I haven't given up too many hits this year, but tonight they found the holes and!I was fortunate to get out with only three runs.” CAN'T HOLD LEAD _ Gruber hit a homer off reliever Tom Bolton in a three-run seventh. The Jays added another run in the ninth on Rick Leach’s pinch single. The Jays and the Red Sox wind up a three-game series tonight with Toron- to’s Dave Stieb, 11-5, scheduled to start against Boston's Jeff Sellers, 4-4. Leach keeps mum on streak, NEW YORK (AP) — Terry Leach’s perfect season has brought out his superstitions. No, he doesn't carry a rabbit's foot or anything like that. He just doesn’t want to talk about his streak because that causes him to think about it. “And that thinking is bad for you,” the right-hander said. “I don’t even read my stats.” Leach, raising his record to 10-0 Tuesday night, pitched the New York Mets to a 6-2 vietory over the Montreal Expos, allowing only six hits in eight innings. That broke the Mets’ three-game losing streak and kept the second- place club 5'/2 games back of the lead- ing St. Louis Cardinals in the National League East. “I'm trying not to let it go to my head,” said Leach, whose winning streak is the longest in the majors this season. “If I get too high, I'll lose the edge.” Leach, who didn’t give up a hit until Tim Wallach's leadoff single in the fourth, walked two, struck out two and lowered his earned-run average to 2.80 without throwing his fastball above 84 miles an hour. HIT HOME RUNS The Expos’ two runs came on solo homers by Tim Raines in the fifth and Hubie Brooks in the eighth. Leach, 7-0 in 10 starts and 3-0 in 20 relief outings, said he started off the Mets win At 33 years old, Leach approaches his suecess with the disbelief of a piteher who has spent most of his career in the minors. He is not far removed from the long bus rides and the cheap hotels. “It’s been a wonderful year,” he said. “But it won't go on forever. It will go away as quickly as it came. The Good Lord is just letting me have some fun for a while.” Expos manager Buck Rodgers, whose club has lost three times this season to Leach, joked after the game: “We couldn't solve Cy Young tonight — I mean Leach.” CHASE YOUMANS The Mets scored two runs in each of the first two innings, taking a 4-0 lead and chasing starter Floyd Youmans, 8-6, who has lost three of his last four decisions. Jesse Orosco pitched the ninth for the Mets. Keith Hernandez drove in three runs for New York, two with a first-inning double. He was credited with another RBI when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the second. Darryl Strawberry hit his 28th homer leading off the fifth inning. Kevin McReynolds hit his 20th homer leading off the seventh. Len Dykstra opened the Mets’ first with a walk and advanced to third on a single by Wally Backman, who stole second. Hernandez followed with his double for a 2-0 lead. By SCOTT WHITE INDIANAPOLIS (CP) — When they called the roll at the Pan-American Games on Tuesday, eight Dominican athletes were absent without leave, a Chilean marksman was excused by the U.S. State Department and a long-lost Cuban weightlifter reappeared wearing an American jersey. The Dominicans — four weightlifters, two cyclists and two wrestlers — slipped away from the Games village and face charges of deserting their country’s armed forces. Tea:n officials, suspecting that the fugitives were holded up with friends in New York, increased surveillance of their remaining athletes. Despite protests from Games officials and the Chilean team, the State Department denied a visa to Francisco Zuniga, who was reported to be a member of his country’s secret police. The Chileans didn't follow through on an earlier threat to pull out of the Games if Zuniga was barred and picked up their first medal Tuesday, a bronze in the equestrian three-day event. The Cuban weightlifters enjoyed their reunion with Roberto Urrutia, who won three gold medals for them at the 1979 Games before defecting to the United States and still holds Games records in the 82.5-kilogram class. LOST TO CUBANS Competing for the United States, Urrutia was beaten by two Cubans and had to settle for bronze medals. The winner, Pablo Laras, said he was happy to have defeated a “traitor to his country.” American and Cuban athletes continued to dominate most of the Games venues as the U.S. total of gold medals climbed to 49 after three ays of competition while Cuba had 32. A pair of shooting victories increased the Canadian bag to five for a third-place tié with Brazil. Toronto rifleman Pat Vamplewe, who came back from the last Pan-Ams with three silver medals and a bronze, spearheaded the Canadian assault by capturing the individual title in the small-bore rifle event and sharing the tem gold with Jean-Francois Senecal of Duvernay-Laval, Que., and Michael Ashcroft of Hamilton. The skeet team of Don Kwasnycia and Fred Altmann of Toronto and Brian Gabriel of Kitchener, Ont., earned another bronze, finishing one point behind Cuba as the U.S. team took the gold. The U.S. team also won the men’s centre-fire pistol title, but yielded the individual gold to Berto Renko of Venezuela, while Ta Perez of Cuba won the women's air pistol. Canada was not represented in these events. MEDALS FOR MARY Mary Fuzesi, 13, of Thornhill, Ont., continued to impress her seniors in rhythmic gymnastics. Monday, she added a silver and two more bronze in the four individual disciplines. Teammate Susie Cushman of Winnipeg also picked up a bronze. The four golds were shared by Lourdes Medina of Cuba, the all-round winner, and Diane Simpson of the United States. American riders took team and individual honors in the three-day event as the Canadian team of Philippe Desourdy, St-Lambert, Que.; Stuart Black, Caledon, Ont.; Moira Tone, Ottawa; and Jamie Smart, King, Ont., claimed the silver. Guy Greavette, the weightlifter from New West minster, who was stripped of two gold medals and a silver at the 1983 Games when he failed a drug test, made a triumphal return by earning three bronze behind Pedro Rodriguez of Cuba in the 82.5-kilogram class. Americans won four of the five swimming events but Silvia Poll of Costa Rica picked up her third gold of the Games in the women's 100-metre backstroke. The U.S. winners were Todd Dudley in the men’s 100 freestyle, Mike O'Brian in the 200 backstroke, July Martin in the women’s 400 freestyle and the women’s 4x100 freestyle relay. SECOND IN RELAY Cheryl McCarton of Toronto, Robin Ruggiero of Montreal, Manon Simard of Baie Comeau, Que., and Denise Gereghty of Copper Cliff, Ont., won the relay silver. Bronze medals went to Ray Brown of Cambridge, Ont., in the 200 backstroke and Megan Holliday of London, Ont., in the 400 freestyle. In judo, Kathy Hubble of Delta, earned a bronze in the 52-kilometre class and Nathalie Gosselin of Ste-Marie Beauce, Que., got another in the 56-kilo division. Canadian teams also won bronze in table tennis, the men placing third behind Brazil and the United States while U.S. and Cuban teams took the gold and silver ahead of the Canadian women. Guillermo Betancourt of Cuba won the first fencing gold in men's individual foil and U.S. roller skaters took the honors in the men's pairs, wome'ns 3,000 metres and women’s 5,000-metre relay. The Canadian women's basketball team opened its sechedule with a 94-57 victory over Mexico and the men's softball team ran its record to 30 by edging the U.S. Virgin Islands 3-2. The baseball team downed Nicaragua 10-5 for its second victory in three starts. The women's handball team crushed Argentina 29-7 but the men lost to Brazil 26-22. The best Canadian showings on the opening day of yachting were second-place finishes by the Soling crew of Hans Fogh of Toronto, Steve Calder of Miisi: Ont. Veteran right-hander Bob Stanley, game feeling weak but gained in strength from the fourth inning on. “I had my sinker working early,” he and Dykstra was hit by a pitch, making 3-12, was unable to hold a 3-1 lead.

Everything seemed to Youmans, and one out later, Hernandez also was hit by a pitch for another run. eo Sznajder keeps cool MONTREAL (CP) — Andrew Sznajder of Toronto knew his chances for success hinged on keeping a tight rein on his emotions in front of a wildly cheering crowd. Sznajder put his supporters on an emotional rollercoas. ter during his come-from-behind upset win over 16th-seeded Peter Doohan of Australia in first-round play Tuesday at the $500,000 Player's International tennis tournament. But Sznajder, who won 7-6 (7-4), 26, 7-6 (7-3), kept his own feelings on an even keel. “I knew the crowd was behind me, but I wasn't going crazy and jumping around like I was at the Davis Cup,” said Sznajder, whose on-court antics and slight build make him look younger than his 20 years. “I was just trying to concentrate out there.” During Davis Cup play in Edmonton |gst month, Sznajder's acrobatics and war whoops brought him to within two points of knocking off Andres Gomez of Ecuador, only to see the match slip from grasp. But Sznajder (pronounced Snayder) didn't have time to do any preliminary celebrating against Doohan, who held leads of 4-0 and 5-2 in the third and final set. Instead he was forced to play gritty, determined tennis and match the Australian's 11 aces with bristling passing shots. “I was just trying to hang in there because anything can happen in this game,” Sznajder said of his third-set comeback. “I've been in a lot of games where things turn around if you keep at it.” CHANGES TACTIC When his net game failed him, Sznajder, a Pepperdine University student who's ranked 205th in the world, dropped back to the baseline and allowed Doohan, ranked 47th, to come in. Sznajder would then promptly pass him, as he did three times during the third-set tie-breaker. Doohan, who knows the role of giant-killer well after and Mark Larhmers of Brockville. Ont., and by Bruce and Having won a bronze in all-round Ross Id of V in the Star class. defendi Boris Becker out of Wimbledon i in the second round earlier this summer, said the partisan crowd and poor line calls had as much to do with his defeat as Sznajder's passing shots. “I was surprised he was so good under pressure,” he said sourly. “I thought he woudl crack at some point.” Sznajder’s win made him the only Canadian left in the tournament. Later in the night, Chris Pridham of Toronto staved off five match points before being edged 7-5, 7-6 (9-7) by second-seeded Stefan Edberg of Sweden in an entertaining match. Edberg played erratically in the first set and had his service broken three times. The two traded a pair of service breaks in the third set before settling down and staying on serve until the tiebreaker. Edberg led the tiebreaker 6-2 when Pridham came storming back to knot it at 6-6. But he ran out of luck as the Swede won the match on a winning volley. Earlier in the day, Montreal's Martin Laurendeau lost a second-round match to ninth-seeded Wally Masur of Australia, 7-5, 6-1, while Bill Cowan of Toronto lost 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 to Christo Sten of South Africa in a first-round match All of the other seeds who saw action advanced, including eighth-seeded Kevin Curran, who edged fellow American Jim Pugh 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (7-5). No. 15-seed Jimmy Arias of the United States and Peter Lundgren advanced to the third round by winning their matches in straight sets. Arias stopped est German Michael Westphal 6-2, 6-4, while Sweden's Lundrem beat Sammy Giammalva of the United States 7-5, 6-1. In opening-round matches between Americans, Richard Matuszewski topped Greg Holmes 76 (7-5), 6-4, Derrick Rostagno beat Larry Scott 6-8, 7-6 (7-5), Todd Witsken defeated Bill Scanlon 7-5, 6-1, and Roberto Seguso best Jonathan Cantner 6-3, 6-1. Kelly Evernden of New Zealand won his first-round match against American John Ross, 68, 7-5, while 1l1th-seeded Johan Kriek of the United States topped American Mike Leach 6-2, 6-7 (5-7), 7-5.
