The victory lifts Houston’s record to 35-35, in Fifth place in the NL West. The Astros are a half game behind fourth-place San Diego and 9 1/2 games be hind league-leading Los Angeles. The Astros will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Dodgers Friday. Elsewhere, Philadelphia’s of making Tim Raines hit right-handed Wednesday night was like giving a can of spinach to Popeye. “They realized I’m a better leh-handed hitter. So they brought in a left-handed pitcher and forced me to bat from the right side,” Raines said, after hit ting a grand-slam with two out in the bottom of the ninth innubg to give the Montreal Expos a 4-0 rictory over the Phillies. The Montreal left-fielder, who hit re liever A1 Holland’s first pitch over the left-field fence for his first career grand slam and fourth homer of the year, said he wasn’t thinking about a home run. “I’m not a home-run hit ter," he said. “I was just trying to t a base hit.” Charlie Lea, who limited the Phillies to five hits, improved his record to 5-3 with his second shutout and third complete pme of the season. The right- hander struck out five and walked two in outdueling Marty Bystrom. “It’s a strange way to get the Terry Puhl win, especially when I was sitting on the bench,” sid Lea. “I got tired in the sixth inning but that helped me because I slowed down my pitches.” In other NL games, Cincinna ti topped San Francisco, 4-2, Pittsburgh defeated Chicago, 5- 2, Montreal blanked Philadel phia, 4-0, New York swept St. Louis, 6-4 and 2-1 and San Diego beat Los Angeles.

Guidry struck out five and checked the Orioles on eight hits Wednesday night as New York won, 5-2, for the team’s first triumph in 11 games at Memo rial Stadium and its sixth victory in its last seven games. The left-hander pointed to the eighth inning as a key. The Orioles’ first two men up reached base, with the middle of the batting order to follow. But Guidry fanned Eddie Murray — after Murray had barely missed a three-run homer on a long foul — and got Gary Roenicke and Ken Singleton on popups. In support of Guidry, Jerry Mumphrey and Roy Smalley drilled back-to-back home runs in the third inning off Scott McGregor, 8-4, who had a five- game winning streak halted. In other AL games, Texas routed California, 9-1; Minne sota toppled Toronto, 4-3, Cleveland beat Boston 9-4; De- Ranger’s Bill Stein troit defeated Milwaukee, 6-2; Chicago ripped Seattle 6-3 and Kansas City edged Oakland, 7-6.

United Press International MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Gil Morgan is the local favorite, Ray Floyd is the defending cham pion and Larry Nelson is coming off victory at the U.S. Open as the first round of the $400,000 Memphis Classic cranks up today. Hal Sutton, No. 2 on the money list behind Lanny Wad- kins, could be the dark horse in Memphis after two sixth-place finishes in his last two tourna ments. Lee Trevino, who has won more Memphis titles than anyone else, has an outside chance to claim his fourth vic tory at Colonial Country Club. Nelson hopes he can extend the momentum that led him past Tom Watson to take a rain- delayed victory in the Open Monday. “Winning it gives me some in centive to win here,” Nelson said. “I wanted to come to Mem phis before I won the Open. Winning the tournament made it even nicer to come.” “He could be in either of two situations,” said Morgan. “He could be a down cycle and find it hard to get up this week, or it could carry over and help him.” Morgan is an optometrist who went to school in Memphis and took the title here in 1979. He started the season by winning the first two tournaments and is No. 4 on the PGA money list with $235,782 in winnings this year. Floyd has yet to win 1983, with his best finish a second- place showing in the Tourna ment of Champions in April. He put together three good rounds of golf in the U.S. Open, but carded a 79 down the home stretch and finished out of the top 10. “I feel like my game is about to be coming around,” said Floyd, who plays out of Fort Pierce, FI. “I’m looking forward to Memphis.” The consensus of most of the players is that the 7,249-yard layout at Colonial is in great shape. The 152-man field, however, will have to battle tem peratures in the low 90s and high humidity on the par-72 course just outside Memphis. Barry Jaeckel and Steve Mel- nyk had the best scores in Wednesday’s pro-am with a 6- under-par 66. The pro-am team led by Al Geiberger took-home first place honors in the best-ball event with a composite score of 52.
