‘It’s not the amount of money so

Tank Cashen said while inspecting
Hproblem areas Thursday. “But
ill flatter how much we spend, we

Flynn and his groundskeepers
worked on the field until 3 a.m.
Thursday, and were back at Shea at
7 a.m. to continue fixing the turf.
The Mets had stored squares of
sod beyond the outfield fences, ex
pecting to need them to fill in torn-
up spots. Extra sod was delivered
early Thursday.
“It’s not as good as it was yester
day,” Flynn said, helping mount a
new home plate. “It’s not too bad.
“But this makes me very angry.
You win in other ballparks and they
don’t rip it apart.”

The Astros chipped away for their
runs, scoring one on a wild pitch and
three others on fly outs to smother
the Reds’ playoff hopes.
The Astros completed a season-
long domination of the Reds by tak
ing their 14th victory in the 18-game
series. The Astros’ victory dropped
Cincinnati into third place, leaving
Houston with a 9‘//-game lead over
San Francisco in the NL West and
reducing its magic number to eight.
Right-hander Matt Keough, 4-3,
and reliever Aurelio Lopez com
bined on a four-hitter to lead the As
tros to their second three-game
sweep at Riverfront Stadium this
season. Houston also took a three-
game series in April.
The Astros took advantage of
Browning’s first-inning control
problems, sending eight batters to
the plate for three runs. Glenn Davis
doubled home the first run, a wild
pitch by Browning brought in an
other, and Ashby’s sacrifice fly fin
ished the scoring in the inning.
Browning allowed another sacri
fice fly to Ashby in the sixth, and
Lopes scored the Astros’ final run in
the eighth off Don Robinson on an
other sacrifice fly.
The Astros outscored the Reds
17-5 and outhit them 30-13 in the
three-game series.

batting or infield practice, as repairs
continued until game time.
By the time the game started at
1:35 p.m. EDT, there were at least
20 spots in the infield where new,
greener sod had been put in place.
There were another 100 spots in the
outfield.
The Houston Astros have a com
manding lead in the NL West and
likely will be the Mets’ opponent in
the best-of-seven series.
“It felt good when we got the last
out, but there were already so many
people on the field, I didn’t see it,”
outfielder Darryl Strawberry said.
“I hadn’t seen anything like that
before in my life. By the time I got to
the dugout, my hat was gone.”
