Angels’ rout of Rangers
not club’s typical win
Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Cali I. — Although
Reggie Jackson ignited a 14-hit at
tack by the California Angels Sun
day, he knows that this kind of pro
duction will not last for the
remaining three weeks of the season.
“Today wasn’t indicative of our
ballclub,” said Jackson, whose three-
run First inning homer started the
Angels off on a 12-4 rout of the
Texas Rangers.
“We haven’t been a great offen
sive ballclub if you look at the statis
tics. We’re not the kind of team that
comes back from a deficit well. We
do welhyvhen we score First.”
The v Angels pounded Texas
starter Jose Guzman (0-2) for Five
runs in the First Five innings.
The Angels put it away with a
five-run eighth inning, sending 10
men to the plate. Doug DeCinces hit
his 14th homer for two of the runs in
the eighth.
“Those days are fun,” Angels’
manager Gene Mauch said. “Bal
lplayers like to hit. All we have to do
is keep on winning and good things
will happen.”
The victory, coupled with Kansas
City’s 4-2 loss in the first game of a
doubleheader at Oakland, helped
the Angels cut the Royals’ lead in the
American League West to two
games.
The Angels had 1 1 walks off five
Texas pitchers.
Kirk McCaskill, 10-11, gave up
three runs in 6 1-3 innings and was
replaced by Stuart Cliburn, who
pitched the final 2 2-3 innings to
earn his sixth save of the season.
Texas starter Guzman pitched the
first five innings, allowing Five runs
on six hits and Five walks.
Jackson gave the Angels a 3-0 lead

McCaskill gave up two home runs

runs and, an out later, Duane
Walker ended an 0-for-31 drought
with his fourth homer.
The Angels scored in the bottom
of the sixth against reliever Bob Se-
bra. Gary Pettis walked, stole second,
advanced to third on Rod Carew’s
fly out and scored on Brian Down
ing’s single.
The Angels scored in the seventh
inning on a run-scoring single by
pinch-hitter Juan Beniquez.
DeCinces’ homer was his First
since Aug. 3. Pettis drove in the 10th
run with an infield hit. Rod Carew
followed with an RBI single and
Jackson’s infield hit scored a run and
capped the Angels’ eighth-inning
rally.
The Rangers lost center Fielder
Oddibe McDowell with a pulled
hamstring after he caught Doug De
Cinces’ fly in short right-center field
for the last out of the sixth inning.
Astros 2, Padres 1
in the first inning, blasting his 24th
home run of the season and the
527th of his career into the right
field bleachers.
The Angels made it 5-0 with a
run-scoring double by Bob Boone in
the fourth inning and an RBI single
by Dick Schofield in the fifth.
HOUSTON — After a lengthy
wait, the Houston Astros’ search for
a power hitter may have finally
ended.
Glenn Davis offered more evi
dence that he could furnish the
home run power the Astros have so
rely needed by hitting his 15th
homer in only 80 games to lift Hous
ton to a 2-1 victory over the San
Diego Padres Sunday night.
“He’s done a great job,” Astros
Manager Bob Lilis. “Everybody
would like to hit just one home run
as far as he did tonight.”
Davis’ homer broke a 1-1 tie in the
eighth and went an estimated 475
feet. The blow

Associated Press
HOUSTON — Veteran
knuckleball pitcher Joe Niekro
said he’s happy the Houston As
tros traded rum to the New York
Yankees but that the transaction
caught him by surprise.
“I didn’t know anything about
it until I walked into the club
house,” the Astros’ all-time win-
ningest pitcher said late Sunday
afternoon at the Astrodome,
where he was scheduled to have
been the starting pitcher against
the San Diego Padres.
“There are a lot of mixed emo
tions here,” Niekro said after
learning he would join his
brother, Phil, on the Yankees’
pitching staff.
“I am happy to go to a club like
the Yankees and play with a guy I
truly love, Phil,” Niekro said. “I
wanted to see Phil win his 300th
game but 1 thought I’d be in the
stands and not in the dugout.”
Phil Niekro has 299 career vic
tories.
For Niekro, the Astros are get
ting minor league pitcher Jim De-
shaies and a player to be named
later.
The sudden trade came only
three days after new Astros Gen
eral Manager Dick Wagner and
owner John McMullen said they
hoped to re-sign Niekro, who can
become a free agent at the end of
the season.
But Wagner said Sunday that
trade talks for Niekro had been in
progress before he was named
general manager.
“We can get talent now, and at
the end of the season we might
get nothing,” Wagner said.
