save of the year, giving up one
hit and an unearned run over
the last four innings.

co Giants wait in the wings ready
to steal the show.
The Dodgers regained first
place by a half-game in the Na
tional League West Tuesday
night by beating the Cincinnati
Reds, 8-4, while the Braves were
losing, 3-2, to the Giants.
Los Angeles and Atlanta be
gin a two-game series tonight at
Atlanta and while those two
clubs continue their fight for
first place the Giants hope to
sneak into the pennant picture
before the week is out.
“I definitely think we can still
win this thing,” said Giants’
pitcher Jim Barr, who held the
Braves to six hits over 7'/s in
nings Tuesday night.
The Giants, in fourth place,
are 5'/2 games behind the Dod
gers but have won five in a row.
“We may not be in striking
distance yet, but we are still
there and we are moving tip,”
Giants’ Manager Frank Robin
son said.
Reggie Smith hit a two-run
homer and rookie Chili Davis
added a solo shot to help the
Giants hand the Braves their
fourth straight loss.
Dusty Baker drove in four
runs with a double and his 21st

defeat the Reds.
A five-run third put the Dod
gers ahead to stay, 5-3. Ken
Landreaux had an RBI single,
Tommy Lasorda’s Dodgers
move ahead in NL West
Steve Garvey an RBI double and
Mike Scioscia a run-scoring sing
le in the inning in addition to
Baker’s two-run double.
“We’re going into Atlanta
with the lead and that makes a
difference,” Dodgers’ Manager
Tom Lasorda said. “But we still
have to win.”

innings of four-hit relief for the
victory.
Elsewhere in the NL, Phi
ladelphia downed Chicago, 7-5,

the tools to get the job done.
“I just followed Ted Sim
mons,” Sutton said, after pitch
ing a seven-hitter for his first
American League victory in the
Milwaukee Brewers’ 4-0 shutout
of the Detroit Tigers. “I know he
knows the hitters. I gave him
what he wanted.”
Cecil Cooper’s three-run
homer in the eighth inning was
the key blow as the Brewers
maintained their three-game
lead over the Baltimore Orioles
in the American League East.
A run-scoring single by Robin
Yount snapped a scoreless duel
between Sutton, 1-1, and Dan
Petry, 14-8, before Cooper deli
vered his 28th home run.
Petry had been working on a
three-hitter through seven in
nings before Ed Romero beat
