I knew if I stood still I'd get into trouble,” he added, explaining he felt so fresh because of the 16 games he missed during the season with injuries. ‘The Wings managed only 16 shots on goal — eight in the third period after the outcome was decided. “We just stood around and watched instead of making things happen like you should when you're in the third round,” said a disappointed coach Jacques Demers. Gretzky set up Jari Kurri for a first-period power-play goal, Gregg for the game-winner a minute into the second and Craig Simpson for another power-play marker late in the second. Esa Tikkanen scored the final goal on a dazzling breakaway move early in the third. Until that goal. the 17,498 spectators — 24 short of a sellout — had offered the Oilers little more than polite applause throughout the one-sided contest. But they leaped to their feet‘on Tikkanen’s move that left goaltender Greg Stefan diving to the left while Tikkanen went right In the second period, the Red Wings managed only five shots in the second period, but did get their only goal, Brent Ashton scoring on a rebound. Gilbert Delorme was fingered for cross- checking 84 seconds later and Edmonton scored with the two-man advantage to restore their two-goal lead. The defending Stanley Cup champion Oilers, now 6-0 at home in these playoffs, shut down Detroit's offence so effectively that goaltender Grant Fuhr had only two or three difficult stops all night. The Wings, who won Game 1 of the conference final here last year, will have to come’ back in-Game 2 Thursday if they hope to return home with the much-desired split “If we continue to stand around,” Demers cautioned his club, “it could be a very, very short seri That's what most of Edmonton is predicting and even a section or two of fans tried to get the “sweep, sweep” chant going Tuesday. They failed. ‘Country Goose’ Dinnerware DODGERS HOT L.A. dumps Pirates By The Canadian Press There's an old baseball adage that says the best trades often are the ones that aren't made. That reasoning looks sound in Los Angeles, where the Dodgers failed last winter to deal slugger Mike Marshall. Today, the team that struggled to consecutive 73-89 finishes as Marshall missed more than 50 games in each of the last two seasons is in first place in the National League West Division. Only three of its players have appeared in all 23 games. The surprise among them is Marshall, who hit two homers and drove in five runs Tuesday night as the Dodgers knocked Pittsburgh out of first place in the East Division with a 146 rout. “It's been unfortunate what's happened the past couple of years with all the injuries I've had, but that's a fact,” Marshall said. “I've always said that when I'm able and healthy and go out there every day, I feel that I'll put good numbers up for this club.” Elsewhere in the NL, it was: New York Mets 8, Atlanta Braves 0; Houston Astros 4, Philadelphia Phillies 0; Montreal Expos 4, Cincinnati Reds 3'in 13 innings; Chicago Cubs 13, San Diego Padres 5; and San Francisco Giants 2, St. Louis Cardinals 0. In addition to Marshall's heroics, Mike Scioscia improved his league-leading batting average to .380 with Rookie Tim-Belcher, 2-1, pitched five innings, allowing five runs and seven hits while striking out four and walking three. Cubs 13 Padres 5 Andre Dawson homered twice, doubled and drove in five runs for Chicago. The homers, a two-run shot in the third inning off Ed Whitson, 2-1, and a three-run shot in the fourth off rookie Candy Sierra, gave Dawson nine for the season. Dawson has hit 11 against San Diego since joining the Cubs in 1987 and has 25 career homers against the Padres: Mets 8 Braves 0 With Rick Aguilera disabled, David Cone was pressed into a starting role and produced his first career shutout. Cone, 3-0, allowed eight hits, struck out five and walked one. Darry! Strawberry took the all-time club lead in homers with a three-run shot, career 155th. Astros 4 Phillies 0 Left-hander Bob Knepper, troubled by tendinitis which had sidelined him since April 21, pitched a six-hit shutout in beating Philadelphia at Veterans Stadium for the first time in five years. He struck' out seven and walked’ one in improving his record to 3-0 and reducing his earned-run average to 0.64. Giants 2 Cardinals 0 Joel ¥: who struck out as a pinch hitter in the three hits as the Dodgers dealt the Pirates defeats forthe first time this seagon. Marshall capped a four-run first inning with a two-run homer and a five-run fourth with a three-run shot, his third of the season.

Monday to Saturday 9: 30- Thursday and Friday 9:30- PRICE IS JUST THE BEGINNING Jays on track with victory over Mariners SEATTLE (AP) — Toronto team- mates Fred McGriff and rookie Todd Stottlemyre both say it was their finest day as major leaguers. McGriff keyed a four-home-run at- tack on Tuesday with two homers and four RBIs to support the superb pitching effort of Stottlemyre, who earned his first major league baseball victory as the Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 9-2. “This was my best day as a major- league hitter,” McGriff remarked. “I saw the ball real well tonight and made good contact.” A two-year veteran, McGriff posted his first career four-hit game. He hit a solo home run in the fourth inning and added a tworun shot in the eighth inning, his fifth and sixth homers of the year. It was the first multiple home run game for a Blue Jay since George Bell hit three in the season opener, April 4 at Kansas City. McGriff also.lined a single in the sixth inning and singled Bell home to cap a four-ruh Toronto ninth inning. “Some pitchers may relax with him (McGriff) up because he follows George Bell,” Seattle starter Mike Campbell said. “But I know that he’s a good hitter and has some power, “Tonight, I made a, couple mistakes and he made me pay.” Stottlemyre, 1-2, a native of Wash- ington state, made his first,trip to the Northwest as 4 major- leaguer a mem- orable one, taking a perfect game into the seventh inning en route to his first vietory. The right-hander from Yakima re- tired all 19 Mariners-he faced before hitting Rey Quinones with a pitch one out into the seventh es to break up the perfect game. Henry Cotto popped out for the second out before Alvin Davis spoiled the no-hit bid with a single double down the right field line that scored Quinoxes with the first Mariner run. “He (Davis) hit a fastball up and in,” Stottlemyre said. “I felt I made a good pitch; but he fought it off.” He said he was more concerned with his first win than the no-hitter. “I never looked around thinking I had a no-hitter,” he said. “I just wanted to get out of her with a win. “I was ahead of the hitters and pitched my best game in the majors.” Stottlemyre yielded just Davis's hit and struck out six batters without a walk before giving way to reliever David Wells with two out in the seventiflinning. Wells pitched one inn- ing and was replaced by Duane Ward, who recorded the final four outs to pick up his second save. Campbell, 2-3, also a Washington native, suffered the loss. He gave up five runs on seven hits in eight innings while striking out five and walking three. The first Blue Jays run came as a result of Seattle's inability to complete a double play. Rance Mulliniks scored from third base on Lloyd Mogeby’s groundout to shortstop Quinones that should have resulted in an inning-ending double play. Quinones flipped the ball to Harold Reynolds who forced Kelly Gruber at second base, but dropped the ball on the relay to first. Mulliniks and Ernie Whitt each contributed their first home runs of the season. Mulliniks hit a solo shot in the fifth inning, and Whitt hit a three-run shot off the foul pole in right field Canadians blast Las Vegas Stars LAS VEGAS, NEV. (CP) — Kelly Paris hit a three-run homer and doubled in another run Tuesday night as the Vancouver Canadians blasted the Las Vegas Stars 16-4 in a Pacific Coast League game, ending the Stars’ seven-game winning streak. The Canadians piled up their runs with the help of 16 hits, nine walks, two balks and five errors by the Stars. Russ Morman added a double and a consecutive game hitting streak to 23 with a first-inning single, and Mike Brumley had a pair of doubles in the loss. Joel Davis, 3-0, pitched six innings and allowed threé runs on seven hits to earn the victory. Joe McKeon, the Stars’ starter who was charged with the Canadians’ first six runs, took the loss, to drop to 2-2. Las Vegas catcher Sandy Alomar hit . homer, but he also made two pair of singles for ‘The Stars’ Shane Mack extended his ing errors on pted pickoff plays. Canucks hold pick VANCOUVER (CP) — The Van couver Canucks say they aren't looking to trade their top pick in the National Hockey League entry draft. Several teams might be interested in the second overall pick that belongs to the Canucks but they aren't seeking offers, says Brian Burke, director of hockey operations. “The teams that are successful are the ones that keep their drafts and it's our philosophy to hold on to the pick,” Burke said this week. “Montreal has not approached us and we have not approached them.” There has been speculation the Montreal Canadiens are willing to trade up in the draft to keep their provincial rivals, the Quebec Nor. diques, from cornering the market on the top prospects from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Nordiques have the third and fifth picks in the first round of the draft, scheduled for June 11 in Montreal. Quebec is said to be eyeing Daniel Dore, a big right winger from the Drummondville Voltigeurs whom scouts liken to the Habs’ Mike McPhee and Claude Lemieux, and flashy left winger Martin Gelinas of the Hull Olympiques. RATES HIGHLY Dore is ratéd fifth and Gelinas seventh in the rankings by Central Scouting, the NHL's scoutipg combine. The Canadiens are “said to be willing to part with Shayne Corson, a tough, grinding centre who has been involved in a couple of questionable off-ice incidents in the past year that have not endeared him to the image conscious Montreal management. Corson, 21, would fill a erying need for some muscle on the Canuck forward lines, but Burke suggests the pot would have to be sweetened considerably for the Canucks to be interested. “Our intention is to use the pick, unless someone makes us an offer that is truly astonishing and, if we made it, Pat (general manager Quinn) could be arrested for larceny,” Burke said. “Someone would have to be that desperate and, frankly, we don't think it’s going to happen.” Centre Mike Modano of the Prince Albert Raiders, ranked No. 1 by Central Scouting, may be taken by the Minnesota North Stars, who have the first pick in the draft. The Canucks could have a choice of right winger Trevor Linden of the Medicine Hat Tigers, left winger Darrin Shannon of the Windsor Spit: fires or defenceman Curtis Leschyshyn of the Saskatoon Blades. Burke favors Linden, even though he plays right wing, one of the few areas of depth in the organization. Devils need win in Boston Garden BOSTON (AP) — The New Jersey Devils got their opening loss out of the way. Now it's time for them to burst out of the underdog role again and try to upset the Boston Bruins. For the third straight NHL playoff series, the Devils lost the first game on the road. Boston, on the other hand, hopes to build on its 5-8 victory Monday night with a second one to- night (7:35 p.m. EDT, CBC)-in the best-of-seven Wales Conference final. Neither the New York Islanders nor Washington Capitals could do that and both were eliminated by New Jersey. “Maybe it's a blessing in disguise,” Devils defenceman Ken Daneyko said Tuesday of the loss to Boston. “We've experienced something new every ser- ies. The first series was our first time in the playoffs. “Now we're playing in a building we haven't seen much.” Boston coach Terry O'Reilly said tonight's game is “a very important one when you consider that they'll be coming back with (rookie goalie Sean) Burke and in the two previous series they managed to win the second game on the road. We're aware of that.” WINS GAMES The Bruins are 6-0 at home during the playoffs and won three of their last four regular-season games in Boston. Burke, who sat out the opener in favor of 10-year veteran Bob Sauve, will return to the nets tonight, said New Jersey coach Jim Schoenfeld. After joining the Devils early in March from the Canadian Olympic team, Burke had a 10-1 regular-season record in 12 games. He was the goalie in Saturday night's 3-2 victory over Washington that clinched the Patrick Division championship. “He doésn't have many weak spots, that’s for sure; I learned that in practice,” said Boston left winger Bob Joyce, an Olympic teammate of Bur. ke's. The Bruins will counter with Reggie Lemelin, who starts his sixth con secutive game. He won the previous five and has played in nine of Boston's 12 playoff games, compiling an 8-1 record. Boston's other goalie is Andy Moog, another member of the Canadian Olympic squad. ALLOWS GOALS Lemelin allowed two goals in the last three games of the previous series against Montreal and had a shutout against New Jersey until Tom Kurvers made it 3-1 at 11:26 of the second period. The Bruins say they want to avoid the mid-game lapse that turned a 3-0 lead into a 3-3 tie Monday night. To do that, Lemelin said they'll have to play better between the blue lines and be intense for the entire game. The Devils want to start better. They were outshot 11-4 before taking the last eight shots of the first period Monday night. They also say they need to be more physical in front of the net. On Monday night, Ray Bourque's game-winning goal and Ken Linse man’s insurance goal both came on re bounds the Devils failed to clear. If the Devils can gain a victory, they'l gain the home-ice advantage. Games 3 and 4 are scheduled for New Jersey on Friday night and Sunday night. A fifth game would be back in Boston next Tuesday night.
