I knew I’d get a piece of it and I did.” Fred Breining, 4-1, picked up the victory and was elated at the Giants’ effort. “Our hitting has been excel lent lately, so I just tried to forget about the score and pitch like it was tied,” Breining said. “The win for me doesn’t mean as much as the fact that we came back after blowing a big lead.” Virdon blamed the loss en tirely on Houston pitching. “I certainly can’t fault the hit ters tonight,” Virdon said. “Our pitching is being looked into. We’re attempting some things to find someone who can catch fire. (Don) Sutton has been our only consistent pitcher, and he’s had some problems lately. “The plans are to start (reliev er Dave) Smith Friday,” Virdon said. “He was a starter in the minors before we called him up as a reliever.” San Francisco took a 2-0 lead in the second on a two-run hom er by Darrell Evans and Hous ton narrowed the margin to 2-1 in the second on doubles by Jose Cruz and Alan Ashby. The Giants knocked out Houston starter Nolan Ryan and raised their lead to 6-1 in the fifth, only to fall behind 8-6 in the sixth. Houston’s big inning began when Art Howe walked and scored on Danny Heep’s double. Dickie Thon singled to score Heep and make it 6-4. Ray Knight scored Thon with a sing le and Cruz followed with a sing le. Ashby then doubled home two runs to give Houston the lead. Phil Garner doubled to score Ashby. San Francisco scored once in the seventh. Then Evans dou bled off loser Frank LaCorte, 0- 2, to lead off the eighth and went to third on a fielder’s choice. LeMaster’s bunt scored Evans to tie it 8-8. Tom O’Malley then doubled LeMaster to third to set up Venable’s game-winning hit. Morgan completed his first game at third without a hitch and credited some of his success to the playing surface. “It’s strange, but on Astro turf, it’s much easier than on dirt,” Morgan said. “I don’t Bill Virdon Bndredtl swimming the event.

Corbett’s relief pitching sends Angels past Texai United Press International ANAHEIM, Calif. — Even though Reggiejack- son provided the thunder, Doug Corbett’s eighth save of the season provided the widest smiles for the California Angels Wednesday night. Jackson two-run homer in the seventh inning came with the Angels leading 2-1 and they went on to beat the Texas Rangers 5-3. Jackson is paid to hit homers — he has 14 this season —just as Corbett is paid to provide late- inning relief. The veteran reliever, however, has been hit hard this season, and entered Wednesday night’s game with a not-too-glossy 5.74 ERA. But he pitched a strong 1 'A innings, getting three groundouts and one strikeout to allow Ken Forsch, who allowed eight hits and two runs in seven innings, to even his record at 6-6. The Angels gave up outfielder Tom Brunans- ky, their most promising minor leaguer, to ac quire Corbett from the Minnesota Twins earlier this season, and while Corbett has been strug gling, Brunansky has been wowing veteran obser vers with his home run power. But Corbett, who earned more saves than any pitcher in the American League over the past two years, figures things are about to even out. “For a month, I’ve been throwing improperly,” he said. “(Pitching coach) Tom Morgan spotted it.
