victories have come at the ex-
r|Be of the Astros and the Cincin-
ati Reds, the two teams chasing the
liams in the NL West.
“I don’t know why we’ve played
etter against the West,” said Man
ger Jim Leyland, whose Pirates are
Biore-than-respectable 36-30
gainst the NL West but only 23-41
1 their own division.
A.11 1 know is that right now we’re
laying the Way we’re capable of
a
playing, we’re getting the hitting and
the defense to go with the pitching,”
he said. “I’ve thought all along that it
was just a matter of time until our
pitchers started pitching the way
they are.”
Drabek, 7-10, didn’t allow a hit af
ter Bill Doran’s leadoff single in the
fourth in winning his fifth consec
utive game as the Pirates completed
a three-game sweep and extended
Houston’s losing streak to five
games. The skid matches the Astros’
longest of the season and evened
their record at 65-65.
“I knew it would come sooner or
later but I’m glad to get the first one
(shutout),” Drabek said. “I’ve re
laxed and settled down and I’m
pitching the way I think I can pitch.”
“We just stopped swinging the
bats when we came in here,” said
Houston Manager Hal Lanier, who
held a closed-door team meeting af
ter the game.

ompete next week in the World
ng Championship in Austria,
iday night, about 3,500 people
red for a “carbo-load” — slang
for pigging out on spaghetti, bread,
frozen cake and salad — and then
gathered on motel parking lots all
over town to talk bikes.
About 11,300 people were drawn
into this North Texas city of 98,000
people for the bicycle race itself.
The first “Hotter n’ Hell Hun
dred” in 1982 drew 1,300 cyclists.
“It’s well organized,” said Bobbie
Boland, 27, who came in with a
group from Houston. “It’s pretty
here. It’s not polluted, and people
are friendly.”
Roby Christie, 44, a postal em
ployee, put the bicycle race together
in Wichita Falls.
He took a gamble, he said.
“In 1982, we were talking to a guy
about a rocking chair marathon. He
said you’d have 200 with a rocking
chair marathon. The largest bike
ride we’d been to was 250, but we
said we could draw 1,000,” Christie
said.
