CHICAGO (AP) - Reserve outfielder
Henry Cotto made a sensational catch
in the top of the seventh inning before
driving in Ron Cey with the tie-
breaking run in the bottom of the seventh
Thursday and the first-place Chicago
Cubs turned a bizarre, game-ending
double play to hold off the Montreal
Expos 3-2.
Rick Sutcliffe, 8-1, took a six-hitter in-
to the ninth but left after singles by Tim
Wallach and pinch hitter Mike
Stenhouse put runners on first and third
with one out. Reliever Lee Smith was
then summoned to face pinch hitter
Pete Rose.
With Stenhouse running on a 3-2 pitch,
Rose lined a ball off Smith's right
shoulder, but reserve shortstop Dave
Owen dashed in, caught the ball in the
air and fired to first to double off
Stenhouse.
Sutcliffe won his sixth straight game
while striking out 10 and walking three.
Smith recorded his 23rd save.
Bryn Smith, 9-9, took the loss.
Pirates 6, Mets 4
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Lee Lacy
tripled home the tying and lead runs in
the eighth inning and scored on Dale
Berra's sacrifice fly as the Pittsburgh
Pirates rallied for three runs to defeat
New York 6-4 last night and extend the
Mets' longest losing streak of the
season to seven games.
Although Lacy tripled off New York
relief ace Jesse Orosco, the loss
snapped the seven game winning streak
of starter Ron Darling, 10-4, who hadn't
lost since May 22. It also dropped the
Mets' 1V2 games behind the first place
Chicago Cubs in the National League
East.
