The San Diego Padres have
shown a curious attitude these
days — they’re enjoying them
selves.
“It’s fun right now, it’s a lot of
fun,” Manager Dick Williams
said Tuesday night.
His team had just moved to
within 3‘/2 games of first-place
Atlanta in the National League
West with a 5-1 victory over the
Montreal Expos.
“We have 14 games left
against Atlanta and we’ll take
our chances,” Williams said. “I
hope the other teams don’t be
lieve we’re contenders. I just
hope the clubs let us go about
our business.”
Starting pitcher John Curtis,
who pitched 5% innings and
raised his record to 6-4, also
helped the Padres with his bat
iclpt
witn a two-run single in the

second inning off Ray Burris, 3-
11.
Later, Curtis spoke optimis
tically about San Diego’s chances
this season.
“In spring training we said to
ourselves we have to be respect
able,” he said. “But probably no
one anticipated we would be
where we are now.
“We feel we can win,” Curtis
said.
Gene Richards’ double made
it 3-1 in the seventh and the
Padres added two more runs in
the eighth on an RBI single by
Perkins and an error by Mon
treal second baseman Frank
Taveras.
The Expos scored in the
second inning when Gary Carter
doubled and scored on Chris
Speier’s single.
In other games, Pittsburgh
edged Houston, 1-0, Philadel
phia topped San Francisco, 3-2,
St. Louis defeated Cincinnati, 3-
1, Chicago halted Atlanta, 7-2,
and Los Angeles beat New York,
9-3.

Texas 3; Baltimore 3, California

PIRATES 1, ASTROS 0 —
At Pittsburgh, Larry McWil
liams tossed a five-hitter and Jim
Morrison belted a solo homer to
lead the Pirates. McWilliams, 4-
3, struck out four and walked
none. As starting first baseman
Jason Thompson’s replacement,
Morrison hit the home run in
the second inning off loser Bob
Knepper, 2-10.
The Pirates have won eight of
their last 10 games and 14 of
their last 19. McWilliams, 4-3
overall, scattered five hits, allow
ing no one past second after the
fourth inning and completed
the game. Knepper pitched a
three-hitter for seven innings
before being relieved by Frank
LaGorte.
The Astros, who finished
their road trip with a 4-4 record,
will play the Chicago Cubs and
St. Louis Cardinals in the Astro
dome starting tonight. Houston,
15‘/a games behind the division
leading Atlanta Braves, is in
fifth place in the National
League West, while the Pirates
are hold down third in the NL
East.
PHILLIES 3, GIANTS 2 —
At Philadelphia, Bo Diaz singled
home the tie-breaking run with
two out in the eighth to spark the
Phillies. Sparky Lyle, 3-2, got the
victory and Tug McGraw work
ed the ninth for his third save.
CARDINALS 3, REDS 1 —
At Cincinnati, Steve Mura, now
6-7, pitched a four-hitter as the
Cardinals extended the Reds’
losing streak to nine games.
CUBS 7, BRAVES 2 — In
Atlanta, Junior Kennedy cap
ped a three-run seventh with a
two-run single to help the Cubs
snap the Braves’ six-game win
ning streak.
DODGERS 9, METS 3 — At
New York, Steve Sax’s two-run
single highlighted a four-run
sixth to spark the Dodgers, who
benefitted from five Met errors.
Mike Scott, 6-6, was the loser.
If the players selected the All-
Star team instead of the fans, it’s
a good bet Hal McRae of the
Kansas City Royals would have
gotten more votes than anyone
in the American League Tues
day night.
But because he’s a designated
hitter and not listed on the All-
Star ballot he didn’t get any sup
port.
McRae hit a grand slam to
raise his season’s RBI total to 76
and spark the Royals to a 6-2
triumph over the Boston Red
Sox.
It’s doubtful he’ll be bypassed
by AL All-Star Manager Billy
Martin, but even then he prob
ably will be limited to a pinch-
hitting appearance since the de
signated hitter isn’t used in the
All-Star game.
“It’s in their hands,” said
McRae, meaning the AL offi
cials who will meet this week to
select the rest of the team. “I
won’t be mad if I don’t go; it
wouldn’t do me any good. My
kids would probably be more
disappointed than I.”
McRae belted his third career
grand slam in the first inning to
help the Royals beat the Red Sox
behind the combined five-hit
pitching of Vida Blue and Bill
Castro.
TIGERS 11, TWINS 6 — At
Detroit, Lance Parrish drove in
three runs with a pair of home
runs and scored three times to
help Jack Morris break a four-
game losing streak in the Tigers’
victory.
A’s 7, INDIANS 3 — At Oak
land, Calif., Davey Lopes drove
in three runs with two homers
and Brian Kingman scattered
seven hits to pick up his first vic
tory of the season.
ORIOLES 3, ANGELS 2 —
At Anaheim, Calif., Cal Ripken
drilled a solo homer with two out
in the eighth inning and Dennis
Martinez allowed seven hits in
8 2 /s innings to hand the Angels
their seventh straight loss.
YANKEES 8, MARINERS 7
— At Seattle, Bobby Murcer’s
leadoff home run in the 12th
inning gave the Yankees their
fifth victory in their last six
games. A1 Cowens homered for
Seattle.

Murray fends off TexaJ
in Blue Jays’ 4-3 victor)
United Press International
ARLINGTON — Veteran
Toronto reliever Dale Murray’s
forkball was breaking sharply,
but it was his fastball that left the
Texas Rangers bewildered at
the plate.
Murray struck out the side in
the ninth inning to preserve a
4-3 Toronto triumph over the
Rangers Tuesday and end the
Blue Jays’ three-game losing
streak with a flourish.
Murray, who relieved rookie
starter Jim Gott in the sixth in
ning and fanned designated hit
ter Lamar Johnson to stifle a ral
ly, struck out six Rangers and
yielded just one hit to 11 Texas
batters in earning his fifth vic
tory in eight decisions.
“I seemed to get more confi
dent as I continued working
tonight,” the right-hander said.
“I had good control of my fast
ball, and that’s the key for me.
“I was able to keep them (the
Rangers) guessing. I think I kept
them off stride because I was
able to work the fastball in and
out on alternate pitches.”
The 32-year-old Murray had
pitched for Montreal, New York
and Cincinnati in the National
League before joining the Blue
Jays last year. He said the victory
was especially sweet “when you
consider we’d just lost three

PHILADELPHIA — The
architect of the restructuring of
the Philadelphia Eagles and an
instrumental figure in the Super
Bowl success of the Pittsburgh
Steelers have been hired to di
rect the Philadelphia franchise
in the new U.S. Football League.
The club was expected to
name Carl Peterson, the former
Eagles’ director of player per

assistant head coach of the Steel
ers, as its head coach today at a
news conference.
Although managing partner
Myles Tanenbaum was unavail
able for comment, it was learned
Tuesday night Peterson and
Perles had been named to the
posts.
The franchise also is ex
pected to reveal its nickname
and its home stadium at the
news conference.
Together with Eagles’ Coach
Dick Vermeil, Peterson, 39, is
credited with rebuilding the
NFL team into perennial playoff
contenders. Under his direc

players such as Wilbert Mont
gomery and Charlie Johnson
and signed free-agents Herman
Edwards, Brenard Wilson and
John Spagnola, all of whom cur
