MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Sorensen stifles Yankees, 3-1

ByThe Associated Press
NEW YORK - 'Milwaukee's Lary
Sorensen pitched seven and one-third
innings of no-hit ball before Chris
Chambliss singled cleanly for the first
of New York's two hits as the Brewers
defeated the Yankees and Ron Guidry
3-0 yesterday.
Sorensen, a 23-year-old right hander
in his second full season in the majors,
issued a leadoff walk to Willie Randolph
on a 3-2 pitch but got Bobby Murcer to
hit into a double play. He retired 20 bat-
ters in a row - good for 21 outs - until
he walked Reggie Jackson to start the
eighth, also on a 3-2 delivery.
LOU PINIELLA flied out but Chai-
bliss drilled'a solid single to right field
to end the no-hit spell. After a few wor-
ds from third baseman Sal Bando,
Sorensen, 10-8, preserved his second
shutout of the season by getting Jim
Spencer to ground into an inning-ending
double play.
Sorensen had to cover first base to
complete both double plays, which were
started by first baseman Don Money.
BuckyDent singled to right-center
with one out in the ninth for the
Yankees' other hit but Randolph
grounded into a game-ending double
play.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Sorensen, who
had lost his last two starts, struck out
three and didn't allow anything resem-
bling a hit until Chambliss' single,
although he had yielded 136 hits in 130%
previous innings this season.
Red Sox 5, Royals 4
BOSTON - Bob Watson drove in the
tie-breaking run in the eighth inning
with his fourth single of the game
yesterday as the Boston Red Sox rallied
for a 5-4 victory and completed a sweep

of a three-game series with the Kansas
City Royals.
While boosting their home record to
32-10, including 19-4 against West
Division rivals, the Red Sox moved to
within three games of the idle
Baltimore Orioles in the American
League East race.
BOSTON SPOTTED Kansas City a 4-
0 lead in the first two innings, then bat-
tled back despite leaving a total of 16
runners on base.
Jim Rice, who earlier had drilled his
19th homer of the season, touched off
Boston's winning rally with a one-out
walk in the eighth. Tom Poquette,
acquired from Kansas City three weeks
ago, singled and Watson followed with
his game-winning single to right,
scoring Rice.
Kansas City scored its four runs off
Boston starter Chuck Rainey. Allen
Ripley bailed out Rainey in the second
inning and allowed just four harmless
hits in 51/3 innings.
Bob Stanley took over in the eighth
and blanked Kansas City in the final
two innings, earning his 19th victory in
15 decisions.
Mariners 4, Twins 0
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - Seattle's

Rick Honeycutt fired a three-hitter
yesterday to lead the Mariners to a 4-0
victory over the Minnesota Twins.
HONEYCUTT, a 25-year-old lefthan-
der, struck out four and walked two in
winning his fourth game in a row. The
other Minnesota hits came in the ninth
on John Castino's leadoff double and an
ensuing single by Bobby Randall.
Honeycutt got the only run he needed
when the Mariners scored an unearned
run in the third against Geoff Zahn (7-

2). Larry Cox opened the inning with a
walk and took second when Bobby
Valentine laid down a sacrifice bunt
and was safe on an error by Zahn. With
two out, Willie Horton dumped a single
into right field to make it 1-0.
Cox drove in Seattle's second fun
with a grounder in the fourth and the
Mariners added two in the ninth on a
walk, singles by Bruce Bochte and Hor-
ton and Tom Paciorek's sacrifice fly.

New Bruin eoaeh
'its in' witplyr
BOSTON (AP) - Fred Creighton, fired two months ago as coach of the
Atlanta Flames, was named yesterday to succeed flamboyant Don Cherry
as coach of the Boston Bruins of the National Football League.
Cherry, popular with fans and players but a thorn in the side of
management, left the Bruins this spring after a long and bitter dispute with
General Manager Harry Sinden and club President Paul Mooney.
"I was very impressed with the job Fred did in Atlanta. His style of play
and type of personnel was very similar to that of the Bruins," Sinden said.
"He also hasan excellent reputation for working with younger players."
