MONTREAL (CP) — Robby Thompson grinned
impishly Tuesday night when asked whether he
could sense immediately that his three-run home run
was going out of the park.

“I just hit ‘em and run like hell,” said Thompson,
who was able to break into a trot in the fifth inning
when he sent a slider by Bryn Smith into the
left-field seats for his first homer of the season.

“I don't know if it was all that important, but it
broke the ice anyway.”

It did a job on the Expos, too, capping a four-run
inning that was instrumental in a 9-2 victory by the
Giants, snapping San Francisco's four-game losing
streak.

Smith, the Montreal starter who throws an
assortment of off-speed pitches, reached into his
repertoire for a long-discarded slider.

“T hadn't thrown a slider in about two years, but
{eatcher) Nelson Santovenia and I thought we
needed a ground ball,” remarked Smith. “I threw one
slider for a base hit and another that went 390 feet.”

REACHES BASE

The base hit was stroked by Bob Melvin, after
Chris Speier had opened the fifth by reaching base
on second baseman Tom Foley's fielding error.

Both runners advanced on pitcher Rick
Reuschel's sacrifice bunt. Brett Butler's single
brought in one run before Thompson buried Smith's
next slider.

Thompson, who has a .373 average since moving
from seventh to the second spot in the batting order
May 6, said, “I think I'm seeing better pitches in the
second spot. Pitchers don’t want to walk me to get to
Will (Clark).”

Jeffrey Leonard, with his second homer, a solo

blast off reliever Bob McClure

extended the margin to 7-2 and the Giants added two
more in the ninth on Candy Maldonado's two-run

double.

A run-scoring double by Clark and Leonard's
‘RBI single had staked the Giants to a 20 lead in the

fourth inning.

CHALKS UP WINS

against Montreal than any team he has faced, tired in

Yanks beat Oakland

By The Canadian Press

Neil Allen may have redefined the term long relief.

The Yankee reliever began warming up in the New
York bullpen after starter Al Leiter threw one pitch,
and he was on the mound for the team a few minutes
later.

“They told me I was going to be the long relief
man,” Allen joked after beating the Oakland Athletics
5-0 with a three hitter Tuesday night. “They didn’t tell
me I'd have to start the game, too.”

The A's, with the best record in baseball, were shut
out for only the second time this season. John
Candelaria of the Yankees blanked them with a
twohitter on May 22 in New York.

Elsewhere it was Toronto Blue Jays 9 Milwaukee
Brewers 0, Kansas City Royals 6 Cleveland Indians 3,
Chicago White Sox 10 Detroit Tigers 1, Minnesota
Twins 8 Texas Rangers 6, Baltimore Orioles 12 Seattle
Mariners 5, and Boston Red Sox 4 California Angels 3.

THROWS ONE PITCH

Leiter's first pitch was his last. Carney Lansford
lined the ball off the pitcher's left forearm for an infield
single

Leiter “thought he heard something crack,” said
Yankees manager Billy Martin. “That seared me, so I
didn’t even let him try a warmup pitch after that. I got
Allen up to throw as soon as Leiter was hit.”

Although Leiter was the official starter, his quick
departure because of an injury allowed Allen to get
credit for a complete game and shutout. Under baseball
rules, Allen got the shutout as a reliever because he
entered the game before there were any outs

Two days earlier, Allen had gone 2 2-3 innings in his
fourth relief appearance of the season

Allen retired the first 19 batters he faced en route
to his first complete game since July 20, 1986 when, as a
member of the Chicago White Sox, he beat the Yankees
with a two-hitter

Allen and the Yankees snapped a six game Oakland

winning streak.
TWINS 8 RANGERS 6

Dan Gladden went 4 for-5 with three doubles and
Greg Gagne hit a tworun homer as Minnesota beat
Texas. Gagne, batting .194 entering the game, hit a
433-foot homer in the sixth inning off Jose Cecena that
made it 6-6. Gladden followed with a single against Dale
Mohorcic, 2-2, stole second and scored on Steve
Lombardozzi's single

WHITE SOX 10 TIGERS 1

Gary Redus hit a grand slam and Ivan Calderon and
Ron Karkovice also homered, powering Chicago over
Detroit. The White Sox, who had scored just 28 runs in
their previous 13 games, won for the third time in 14
games. Detroit lost its fourth straight, its longest skid
of the season.

ROYALS 6 INDIANS 3

Bill Buckner hit a sacrifice fly and Scott Madison
and Jamie Quirk followed with run-scoring singles in
the 10th inning, leading Kansas City over Cleveland.
Willie Wilson drove in three runs with three hits. His
two-run single in the seventh lifted Kansas City into a
33 tie.

ORIOLES 12 MARINERS 5

Cal Ripken, Fred Lynn and Rene Gonzales homered
in the seventh inning and Baltimore got a season-high 16
hits to beat Seattle. Larry Sheets hit three doubles and
a single and Joe Orsulak had four hits for the Orioles,
who entered the game with a .214 average, the lowest in
the majors.

RED SOX 4 ANGELS 3

Mike Smithson, 11, shut out California for seven
innings as Boston won on the road. Smithson, making
only his second start of the season, gave up five hits. He
walked none and struck out three in winning his first
decision since June 23, 1987, while with Minnesota

Checkers

second with five wins and a loss and
Fleming of Checkers is third with
two wins in as many decisions.

In play last week, Labatt's beat
Tudor 7-2 with Evdokimoff picking
up the win on the mound for Labatts
and Cam Sookro suffering the loss for
Tudor. Brad Parker was one for two
at the place for Labatts.

Checkers shut out Hi Arrow 6-0

pitched a two-hitter as Labatts
coasted to an 8-0 victory over K and
A Tire. Don Savinkoff was two for
three at the plate and scored once in
the second.

Martin ejected
after exchange

OAKLAND CALIF. (AP) — Billy
Martin got his hands dirty and
umpire Dale Scott got his uniform
dirty. As a result, the New Yankees’
manager may have a problem

Martin erupted from the dugout in
the third inning of a game Monday
with the Oakland Athletics after
umpire Rick Reedruled that Yankee
second baseman Bobby Meacham had
trapped, rather than caught, a sink
ing line drive off the bat of Walt
Weiss. The Athletics’ shortstop was
safe at first with a single.

Replays indicated the ball was
caught before it hit the ground, but
television replays are not used in
baseball.

Martin appealed Reed's call to
Scott, the first base umpire, and in
the process said something that led
Scott to eject him. Martin tried to
kick dirt on Scott's shoes, but when
the recently watered dust wouldn't
fly, Martin scopped up a double

handful of Coliseum clay and hurled
it at Scott

Plate umpire Rich Garcia stepped
in to escort the ejected Martin off the
field, Martin screaming and pointing
at Scott as he exited

Martin said what angered him was
that Scott changed his story about
Reed's call

“He first said he didn’t see it, and I
could have accepted that. But then he
said the ball bounced. Either he was
a liar the first time or the second

" Martin said.
rcia supported Reed's call of the

controversial play

“The shadows made it look like he
trapped the ball. Bad time of day to
play a ballgame — I don't care how
much money television gives them,”
Garcia said

The game had been rescheduled
for a5 p.m. PDT start because it was

Lakers out-jam Mavericks

INGLEWOOD, CALIF. (AP) —
James Worthy scored 28 points as
the Los Angeles Lakers, badly
beaten twice in Dallas, stormed back
with a 119102 victory over the
Mavericks on Tuesday night in the
NBA Western Conference final

The victory gave the defending
NBA champion Lakers a 3-2 edge in
the best-of-seven series, with Games
6 scheduled Thursday night in
Dallas.

The winner of the series will face
the Eastern Conference ¢hampion,
either Boston or Detroit, for the
NBA title .

Worthy, scoring with acrobatic

moves to the basket, had 18 points in
the first half as the Lakers took
control.

Los Angeles moved ahead to stay
with a 20-4 scoring spree in the first
quarter, rallying from a 10-4 deficit
3'%2 minutes into the game to take a
24-14 lead with four minutes left in
the quarter.

Dallas got no closer than four
points the rest of the way. The
Lakers built their lead to 66-47 at
halftime and were ahead 92-71
heading into the final quarter.

During the decisive first half, the
Lakers shot 66.7 per cent from the
floor — including 7-for-10 for Worthy

— while the Mavericks hit just 41.7
per cent of their shots.

The Lakers, seeking to become the
first team to win consecutive NBA
titles since 1969, also got 20 assists
and 15 points from Magie Johnson
and 21 points from Kareem Abdul
Jabbar.

Mark Aguirre led the Mavericks
with 31 points and Derek Harper
who had 35 points in Dallas’ Game 4
victory had 19 in the fifth game.
Roy Tarpley added 18 for Dallas.

The victory built on the Lakers’
impressive home record in the
playoffs. They have won eight of nine
at the Forum this year

By The Canadian Press

Jeff Pico did so well in his major-league pitching
debut that he sent the Chicago Cubs public-relations
department scurrying through the National League
team’s record books.

The employees were trying to find out if a Cubs
pitcher had ever pitched a shutout in his debut

The 22-year-old right-hander pitched the Cubs to a
4.0 victory Tuesday over the Cincinnati Reds, allowing
four hits, walking none and striking out six

In turns out Pico was the 36th major-league pitcher
to accomplish the feat and the seventh Cub to do so. The
last Cub was Leonard (King) Cole on Oct. 6, 1909, who
defeated St. Louis 8-0 on a six hitter

In other games it was San Francisco Giants 9
Montreal Expos 0, New York Yankees 5 Los Angeles
Dodgers 4 in 11 innings, San Diego Padres 8
Philadelphia Phillies 0, Atlanta Braves 11 Pittsburgh
Pirates 1, and St. Louis Cardinals 9 Houston Astros 7.

The last time a playér pitched a shutout in his
major league debut was Jimmy Jones of San Diego on
Sept. 21, 1986, when he defeated Houston 50 on a
one-hitter.

“I'm a little stunned,” said Pico.

So were the Reds, who lost their fourth straight
game. .

Pico faced 29 batters, two qver the minimum.

“That's the best I've pitched all season,” said Pico,
who had a 5-2 record at Iowa with a 2.24 earned-run
average.

Andre Dawson's 11th home run in the first inning
gave Pico the lead, and the Cubs added two more runs
in the second and one in the eighth

METS 5 DODGERS 4

Rookie Kevin Elster hit a two-out home run off
Alejandro Pena in the 11th inning to give New York its
fifth triumph in as many meetings with Los Angeles this
season. Randy Myers got the win with one inning of
hitless relief. Dwight Gooden gave up the four Los
Angels runs and seven hits in 9 1-3 innings, thé first
time he had pitched into extra innings in regular-season
play

PADRES 8 PHILLIES 0

Andy Hawkins pitched a four-hitter and Marvell
Wynne had four hits, three of which started scoring
innings, as San Diego snapped Philadelphia's four-game
winning streak. Hawkins struck out two and walked
two in pitching his second shutout of the season.

BRAVES 11 PIRATES 1

Rookie Toin Glavine allowed four hits in eight
innings, Dion James, Bruce Benedict and Gerald Perry
had two-run singles and Ron Gant homered in a 17-hit
attack as Atlanta halted Pittsburgh's three-game
winning streak
