time,” said Comer, 8-6, who sur
vives chiefly with his off-speed
pitches. “When you do that, they
can’t dig in. Our defense bailed me
out a couple of times, too.”
The only runs of the game came
in the second inning when Rangers
catcher Jim Sundberg doubled
home Richie Zisk from second and
John Grubb from first. Sundberg
was catching only his second game
since being beaned last Tuesday
night by California’s Don Aase.
“Because I have been out so long
I wasn’t too tired tonight despite
that long game last night,” said
Sundberg, referring to the 15-
inning affair against Oakland. “I
don’t know about the rest of the
guys. But we have the experience
on this club to be able to forget
about tough games like that one.
That’s a good characteristic to
have.”
Baltimore put at least one runner
on base in seven innings. In the first
inning, Kiko Garcia was thrown out
at home by Grubb in centerfield,
Doug DeCinces was thrown out try
ing to go from second to third on a
fly ball in the fourth inning and with
two outs in the eighth, Pat Kelly was
tossed out while trying to stretch a
single into a double.
On top of all that, the Orioles lost
designated hitter Lee May for three
or four games with a strained calf
muscle.
The second game of the three-
game series tonight will have Fer
guson Jenkins, 8-4, on the mound
for Texas versus Baltimore’s Steve
Stone, 6-5.

Cleveland has just two wins in its
last 14 games and Lemon was repor
tedly close to taking the job after los
ing his own to Billy Martin with
New York.
“I don’t believe any firm offer was
or will be made to Lemon,” said
Mike Seghi, traveling secretary of
the Indians, when asked if there was
any substance to rumors Lemon was
about to take over Torborg’s job.
“As far as I know, no talks are
going on with Lemon. As I said, Jeff
will remain,” said Seghi, son of
Cleveland Vice President and Gen
eral Manager Phil Seghi.
In Cleveland, publicity director
Joe Bick confirmed Seghi’s state
ment.
“Rumors that Bob Lemon, former
manager of the New York Yankees,
was going to take over as manager
have not come to be,” Bick said.
“Jeff Torborg will remain as man
ager of the Indians.
How long “is impossible to say
and depends on the team play,”
Bick added. “The team could go on
to win the pennant and Torborg
could remain for 10 years.”
Torborg put an end to a lot of the
rumors and speculation by deciding
to resign at the end of this season.
