Virdon named Astro manager^ By MICHAEL A. LUTZ AP HOUSTON — Bill Virdon, fired as New York Yankee manager last month to make way for Billy Martin, was named Tuesday by one of his former Yankee bosses to replace Preston Gomez as manager of the Houston Astros. The announcement of Virdon s hiring, which takes effect im mediately, was made by new Astros General Manager Tal Smith. It came after Gomez demanded to know where he stood with the club. “I know we can’t win the pennant this year,” said Virdon, referring to the fact that the Astros were mathematically eliminated from the National League East Division race Monday night. “When I was hired at Pittsburgh and New York, I was expected to win,” said Virdon, fired recently as Unser, Garrett solo Homers overpower Astros Associated Press HOUSTON — Del Unser and Wayne Garrett slugged solo home runs to power the New York Mets beyond the Houston Astros 6-3 Tuesday night, spoiling Bill Vir don s debut as manager.

Unser slugged his sixth homer of the season in third and Garrett un loaded No. 6 in the fourth.

Both homers cam with two out.

PITTSBURGH — Jerry Reuss pitched a three-hitter and Al Oliver drove in a pair of runs with a homer and a double to help the Pittsburgh Pirates halt a six-game losing streak and beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0 Tuesday night.
