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.
Virdon, fired by the New York
Yankees last month, was hired ear
lier Tuesday to replace Preston
Gomez, who was fired.
Unser slugged his sixth homer of
the season in third and Garrett un
loaded No. 6 in the fourth.
Jon Matlack, 14-8, had shut out
the Astros on five hits until the ninth
when he gave up a double to Enos
Gabel, Cesar Cedeno’s seventh
homer of the year and Cliff
Johnson’s 11th homer. Both homers
cam with two out.
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. —
Minnesota’s Bert Blyleven retired
the first 13 Baltimore batters and
pitched the Minnesota Twins to a
five-hit 5-2 victory over the Orioles
Tuesday night.
The setback dropped second-
place Baltimore eight games behind
Boston in the American League’s
East Division. The triumph was
Minnesota’s ninth in 11 games.
MONTBEAL — Steve Rogers
scattered 10 hits and the Montreal
Expos scored three unearned runs
in the first inning enroute to a 5-0
victory over the San Diego Padres
Tuesday night.
Jim Lyttle led off the Expos first
by reaching safely on left fielder
Bobby Tolan’s error, was sacrificed
to second by Jim Dwyer and went to
third on a passed ball.
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.
The victory, coupled with
Philadelphia’s 6-4 loss to Atlanta,
moved the Pirates back into sole
possession of first place in the Na
tional League East, one game ahead
of the Phillies, and it followed a 2-12
road trip in which Pittsburgh
squandered a four-game lead.
KANSAS CITY — Bill Lee
hurled a four-hitter and rookie Fred
Lynn slammed a double and a two-
run homer to lead the Boston Red
Sox to a 5-0 victory over the Kansas
City Royals Tuesday night.
Dwight Evans, Bob Heise and
Rick Burleson also drove in runs for
the American League East leaders.
NEW YORK — Jorge Orta’s
single scored pinch runner Nyls
Nyman from second base in the 11th
inning, lifting the Chicago White
Sox to a 7-6 victory over the New
York Yankees Tuesday night.
Carlos May drew a leadoff walk
from reliever Sparky Lyle, 3-6, and
was sacrificed to second. Nyman ran
for him and raced home on Orta’s
soft bouncing single between first
and second.
CHICAGO — Lee Lacy’s triple
and John Hale’s sacrifice fly in the
eighth inning combined with the
two-hit pitching of Don Sutton and
Mike Marshall and gave the Los
Angeles Dodgers a 2-1 victory over
the Chicago Cubs Tuesday.
ATLANTA — Dave May wal
loped a two-run pinch homer in the
ninth inning Tuesday night, cap
ping an Atlanta comeback that lifted
the Braves to a 6-4 victory over
Philadelphia and knocked the Phil
lies out of a first-place tie in the
National League’s East Division.
Rob Belloir singled with one out
in the ninth and May drilled his
eighth home run of the season off
reliever Gene Garber, 9-8.
ST. LOUIS — Willie Davis re
turned from five days of self-exile on
the disqualified list with two sing
les, a double and a triple, helping
the St. Louis Cardinals edge the
Cincinnati Reds 2-1 Tuesday night
behind Lynn McGlothen’s four-hit
pitching.
By winning, the Cardinals ended
Cincinnati’s nine-game winning
streak and remained in third place
just 2V2 games behind Pittsburgh in
the National League’s East Division
and only IV2 games in back of
Philadelphia.
CLEVELAND — Texas’ Jim
Umbarger beat Cleveland’s Dennis
Eckersley in a rookie pitching duel
as the Rangers tripped the Indians
2-1 Tuesday night.
Eckersley, 9-5, gave up a double
to Dave Moates leading off the game
and he came around to score on two
infield outs.
OAKLAND — Ron LeFlore sing
