ARLINGTON — On the hottest day of 1981 at Arlington Stadium,
the Texas Rangers’ cauldron finally came to a boil.
The Rangers, one of many teams seemingly drowned in the tidal
wave of Oakland’s early-season victories, suddenly found themselves
in first place in the American League West Monday night.
“You don’t want to get too high and you don’t want to get too low,”
said a surprisingly subdued Don Zimmer following the Rangers’ 8-1
blasting of the Detroit Tigers. “Sure, I’m glad we re in first place. But
this isn’t the time to get excited.’’
In the first few weeks of the season, after Oakland had raced to a
17-1 start, Texas found itself 8V2 games out of first place. Texas still
rests a half game back of Oakland in the won-loss column, but on a
percentage basis — which is how the standings are determined —
Texas is now ahead of the A s by a single percentage point.
While Oakland was idle Monday night, the Rangers were taking
advantage of some suspect Detroit fielding and three hits by Mickey
Rivers to easily whip Detroit. Rick Honeycutt, blessed with all the run
support, lasted eight innings in near 10()-degree heat to raise his
record to 6-1.
Texas has now won four in a row, six of seven and 13 of 17.
“We never even talked about Oakland’s lead,” said the Rangers
manager. “I’ve never seen a pennant won in April or May. The time to
get excited is late September.”
Detroit had won four straight and seven of its last eight coming into
Texas for a two-game stand, but the Tigers found themselves behind
by six runs after two innings.
Loser Dan Schatzeder, 3-4, gave up a double to Mickey Rivers, a
single to Al Oliver, walked Buddy Bell and then was tagged for a single
by Bill Stein. Throw in errors by third baseman Tom Brookens and
catcher Lance Parrish and the Rangers had scored four runs in the first.
Bow a stars in Philly win
Two more runs came in during the second on a single by Mario
Mendoza, another single by Bump Wills, Rivers’ second double and a
sacrifice fly by Bell.
Detroit made three errors and botched at least two other plays that
did not go as errors.

PHILADELPHIA — Ever
since he joined the Philadelphia
Phillies 12 years ago, Larry Bowa
has had to prove himself to his
critics time and time again.
That hasn’t changed this year,
even though the 35-year-old
shortstop batted .288 in the last
half of the 1980 season, .316 in the
league championship series and
.375 in the World Series.
“1 feel overall, right now I’m
playing as good as I ve ever play
ed, Bowa said Monday night after
a 3-for-4 night with three RBIs
that carried the Phillies to a 4-3
victory over the Houston Astros.
“People always are reminding
me of the first half of last season
(when he hit .244) but they don’t
remember the second half of the
season, the playoffs or the World
Series. I have to keep reminding
people that I still can play.’
Bowa knocked in two runs with
a second-inning single and singled
home another in a two-run fourth
to lead the Phillies in the season’s
first matchup of last year’s division
champions. He singled again in
the sixth.
“I’ve been hitting the ball well
against Atlanta and against the
Mets (in the team’s two previous
series),” he said. “I go in streaks
when I’m hitting down on the ball
and keeping it out of the air. When
I hit it in the air. I’m in trouble.”
Bob Boone added the second
run in the fourth with a sacrifice
fly.
The game also marked the re
turn to Philadelphia of the Pete
Rose Watch. Rose went l-for-3
with an intentional walk to come
within four hits of breaking Stan
Musial’s National League record
of 3,630.
Rose’s hit was a sharp single up
the middle off loser Don Sutton,
4-7, in the third.
“I told Don when I passed by
him that I hit a pretty good pitch,
an inside slider,” Rose recalled.
“Don said, Yeah, but they pay
you good money to hit pretty good
pitches. ”
Houston s runs came on Jose
Cruz’ 10th homer of the season in
the fourth and Cesar Cedeno’s
two-run single in the fifth. The
Astros outhit the Phillies, 12-8,
but stranded 11 baserunners.
Their final hope came in the
eighth when Joe Pittman and Luis
Pujols opened with singles. Pinch-
hitter Denny Walling then hit a fly
to deep left-center that Garry
Maddox caught after a long run.
McGraw entered and Bowa nailed
Pittman at the plate on Tony
Scott’s high chop. Craig Reynolds
flied out to end the inning.
“We had our opportunities but
we didn’t get it done,” Houston
Manager Bill Virdon said. “That
was a problem for us in the early
season when we were going bad.
We had a tough time getting the
big hit.”
“We let the game get away from
us,” added Art Howe, the league’s
leading hitter. “We’ve had a lot of
one-run ballgames against them
with the same verdict. We’d like
to turn that around quick. ”
Rookie Marty Bystrom makes
his first start since May 24 tonight
for the Phillies against Joe Niekro.
One of the things that has pleased Zimmer the most this year is that
his team has not had many games such as the one endured by the
Tigers Monday night.
“We haven’t had too many sloppy games,” he said. “I understand
that last year this team (the Rangers) would look sloppy for an entire
week at a time. But our longest losing streak this year has been two
games. I hope that continues.”
