MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Blue Jt
DETROIT (AP) - Damaso Garcia
drove in two runs with a squeeze bunt
and a sacrifice fly last night to lead the
Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-3 victory over
the Detroit Tigers.
Toronto's triumph ended an eight-
game winning streak for Detroit starter
Jack Morris, 9-4. Morris, the American
League's starting pitcher in the All-Star
Game, hurled the first six innings and
gave up all four runs and six hits as he
suffered his first defeat since April 29.
THE BLUE JAYS, who broke a 12-
game losing slide Tuesday night,
picked up a pair of runs in the fourth
inning. Otto Velez walked and John
Mayberry and Al Woods followed with
singles to break the scoreless tie. An in-
tentional walk to Ernie Whitt loaded the
bases and Garcia dropped his bunt
down the first base line to score
Mayberry.
Detroit touched Toronto starter Dave
Stieb, 5-7, for a run in the fifth on singles
by Lance Parrish and Kirk Gibson and
Lou Whitaker's sacrifice fly.
The Blue Jays added two more runs
in the sixth on Garcia's sacrifice fly and
Danny Ainge's run-scoring single.
A single by Alan Trammell, Steve
Kemp's double and a pair of groundouts
produced two Tiger runs in the sixth,
but Mark Bomback and Roy Lee
Jackson, who earned his fourth save,
held Detroit scoreless over the last
three innings.
The attendance for the final game of
the series was 8,775, the smallest crowd
of the season at Tiger Stadium.
Red Sox 8, White Sox 1
BOSTON (AP) - Joe Rudi belted two
homers and Dwight Evans, Gary Allen-
son, Dave Stapleton and Jim Rice hit
one each last night powering the Boston
Red Sox to an 8-1 victory over the
Chicago White Sox behind rookie south-
paw Bob Ojeda.
The six homers set an American
League high for the year, bettering by
one an Oakland barrage against Seattle
last April17.
Mets 7, Cubs 4
CHICAGO (AP)-Dave Kingman and
Ellis Valentine drilled consecutive
triples to open the 10th inning and the
New York Mets surged to their third
straight victory of baseball's second
season yesterday with a 7-4 decision
over the Chicago Cubs.
Kingman scored the tie-breaking run
on Valentine's triple and Valentine
scored on a single by Hubie Brooks,
who earlier had homered and singled.
Brooks later advanced to second on a
passed ball and scoredhis third run of
the game on a single by Alex Trevino.
THE METS' winning streak is their
longest of the year.
Neil Alen, 4-3, was the winner, while
Dick Tidrow, 2-5, was the loser.
