Texas Tech and Texas will represent the SWC western divi sion in this weekend’s cham pionship.

Valenzuela, the league’s Most Valuable Player and Gy Young Award winner last season, has a 1 -1 record going into tonight’s game against the Houston Astros, who handed the Dodgers their sixth straight loss in a 6-4 meeting Monday at Dodger Stadium. It was the First time since 1979 the Dodgers had endured six straight losses. The win went to ex-Dodger Don Sutton, who pitched seven innings For his second triumph, while Terry Forster, 1-2, took the loss. Veteran infielder Art Howe drove in the game winning runs that Forster gave up and capped a Four-run sixth inning rally that sent the Dodgers reeling. “It was a good win,” said Howe, who was signed by Houston in 1976. “We had lost three in a row at the Dome. It’s tough to win here. When I came up in the sixth inning, I got the green light to swing on a 3-0 pitch. I wasjust trying to hit the ball hard — anything to get a run batted in. This place charges you up. It’s Fun to play baseball here.” The Astros laced Five consecutive hits oFF three pitchers in the sixth before Alejandro Pena re tired to the side. Phil Garner and Jose Cruz sing led off starter Burt Hooton and Forster took over on the mound. Alan Ashby singled in Garner and Ray Knight doubled in Cruz. Pena took over and Howe’s long single drove in Ashby and Knight. Dodgers’ Manager Tom Lasorda said he thought Hooton was “running out of gas” in the sixth, which was why he took him out. “It looked like he had lost it,” Lasorda said. “1 didn’t think he had a good fastball when I took him out. If a reliever holds the lead, it makes you look good, but it was one of those things.” Hooton said he wasn’t surprised. “I felt I was throwing all right, even though I wasn’t real sharp,” he said. “Sometimes you have to struggle a little. But I still felt strong. I can’t say 1 was surprised when the manager took me out. It was his decision.” VIVARIN KEEPS YOU GOING WHEN THE GOING GETS ROUGH. Hitting the books? Feeling the strain?
