2B THE ODESSA AMERICAN onday, May 8, 1978 tintionnl League roundup .1 more in the sixth on a two-run single by and tough to hold some. On four of the steals, I just didn't have any idea that they'd be running. I just didn't expect it. The other four (by Moreno and Taveras) were just good stolen bases. I held them as close as I could, but I also had to concentrate on the plate." Moreno walked in the first inning, stole second and scored on a single by Robinson.
In the second inning, Garner doubled home a stole third and scored on a single by Rooker, who then stole his first base of the season. A theft by Robinson set up a third-inning run, and Pittsburgh scored twice Montral Expos split a doubleheader with Cincinnati, winning 19-5 and then losing 4-2. the San Francisco Giants edged the Chicago Cubs 2-1, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 8-5 and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the San Diego Padres 84. Houston at Atlanta was rained out.
"That's the way the game's supposed to be played," said John of the Pirates' base-stealing antics. Pittsburgh leads the National League with 41 thefts and Moreno leads the league with 14 of them. John described his move to first as "fair good enough to get some guys out and pinning the first loss of the season on the Dodgers' ace, 6-4. Omar Moreno and Bill Rob inson stole two bases each and Phil Gamer and winning pitcher Jim Rooker added one apiece. Rooker I who needed relief help from Jim Bibby and Kent Tekulve to raise his record to 21, laid the blame for the running spree directly on John.
"I didn't realize he had such a bad move to first base and I took advantage of it," said Rooker. "The catcher (Steve Yeager) didn't have a chance to throw anybody out." Elsewhere in the National League, the Dave Parker. Expos 19-2, Redi 5-4 Montreal tied a club record by scoring 19 runs against Cincinnati in the opener, the most runs by any team in any game this season. It was Cincinnati's worst defeat in 10 years. Montreal pounded four Cincinnati pitchers for 20 hits in the opener, including home runs by Andre Dawson, Ellis Valentine and Tony Perez.
The Expos chased starter Paul Moskau with four runs in the third, scored five times off Dale Murray in the seventh and By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS They used to be the lumber company, the guys with the booming bats. The Pittsburgh Pirates' idea of offense used to be waiting around for somebody to hit one over the wall. That's changed since Chuck Tanner took over as manager last year. The Pirates stole 260 bases in 1977, ,73 more than any other major league team, and shortstop Frank Taveras led the majors with 70. And they're off and running again this season.
They swiped eight bases in eight attempts against Los Angeles Sunday, running left-hander Tommy John ragged American league roundup rallying the Royals over Milwaukee. Joe Zdeb, Al Cowens and Frank White knocked in two runs apiece for the Royals, who snapped a five-game losing streak. Royals 8, Brewers 6 Fred Patek lashed three hits, scored twice and doubled in the go-ahead run in Kansas City's three-run sixth inning, Padded five runs off Dave Tomlin in the ninth. An error by third baseman Larry Parrish on a double steal attempt in the sixth inning gave Cincinnati two runs and dealt Ross Grimsley his first loss after five victories. With the score tied 2-2 in the sixth, Cincinnati had runners at first and third when Junior Kennedy broke towards second and Dave Concepcion edged off third.
Catcher Gary Carter threw to third to try to nail Concepcion, but the ball got by Parrish and went into left field, allowing both runners to score. Cincinnati's Pete Rose, who' reached the 3.000-hit milestone on Friday sat out the second game because of a stomach disorder, ending a club-record streak of .678 consecutive games, the longest of any active major leaguer. "It's the worst I've felt in 16 years," said Rose. "I took every pill I could to get better." Giants 2, Cubs 1 Vida Blue won his fourth game in a row for the Giants after losing his season opener. He pitched no-hit ball for 52-3 innings and allowed four hits before being lifted in the ninth as Manager Joe Altobelli played left-righty percentages for the final two outs.
Right-hander Randy Moffitt relieved and retired right-handed Dave Kingman for the second out, then Gary Lavelle, a left-hander, came in and got lefty Bobby Murcer to end -the game. 'I'm not going to let a guy hit a homer to b.eat us," reasoned Altobelli, "not with the bullpen we have. All I ask from a starting pitcher is an all-out good effort. First I want to see him win the game. Going nine innings is secondary." Willie McCovery drove in both Giants runs on an infield out in the third inning and a single in the fifth.
Phils 8, Mets 5 Greg Luzinski belted two home runs and droVe in four runs and Bob Boone and Richie Hebner hit one homer each the Phillies won their third in a row and ninth in the last 11 starts, surviving a 16-hit New York attack. Cardinals 8, Padres 4 Garry Templeton's two-run single capped a four-run fifth inning that carried the Cardinals past San Diego as -Bob Forsch raised his record to 5-2 by scattering eight hits. Ken Reitz singled home a run to produce a 3-3 tie in the fifth, then San Diego, catcher Rick Sweet dropped the ball at home plate on an attempted force play allowing the Cards to score the go-ahead run. Templetonihen gave St. Louis, a 6-3 lead with his single.
Texas League roundup Midland topples Amarillo Gold Sox By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Even when Reggie Jackson isn't hitting game-winning home runs, he has a hand in them. The New York slugger, who has a dramatic flair for breaking open games with the long ball, struck out Sunday, but that didn't stop him from helping the' Yankees win a game. On his way back to the dugout, he gave some crucial advice about Texas reliever Len Barker to the next batter, Chris Chambliss. What did he say? "He said Barker wasn't throwing very hard and his ball was straight," Chambliss later reported. Given that substantial piece of information, Chambliss straightened Barker's fastball out eyen more all the way out to the bleacher wall in right-center field, and the result was a 3-2, 12-inning victory Yankees over the Rangers.
"I put it right up there in his wheelhouse," Barker said after giving up Chambliss' first home run of the year. "Iti was a good pitch to hit out of any ballpark. If I gave Chambliss the pitch Jackson struck, out on, I don't believe he could have handled it." While Barker was throwing just straight balls, New York reliever Rich Gossage had the Rangers wound around his sharp-breaking pitches. He hurled four innings of hitless relief, but still wasn't completely satisfied with himself. "My ball was moving good and I'm very happy with the way I threw today," he said, "but I'm not at my peak yet.
It's a matter of getting a good rhythm. I just haven't thrown enough yet. I haven't even used my slider. I don't lose velocity as the season goes along, but the slider makes my fastball look that much better."
