HOUSTON (AP) — Batting third
in the lineup has been first rate for
Houston Astros’ outfielder Kevin
Bass.
In two games against St. Louis,
Bass scored four runs and batted in
four more including a first inning
two-run homer that paced the As
tros to a 4-3 victory over the Cardi
nals Sunday.
Bass socked his 13th home run of
the season into the left field seats
with one out.
“Kevin’s been swinging a good bat
the last couple of games,” Houston
manager Hal Lanier said. “He’s been
really stinging the ball.”
Coming into the game, Bass was
only hitting .143 against St. Louis
this season and .182 versus the Car
dinals lifetime, but he has batted
.350 over the past two weeks.
“A lot of people probably won
dered why I moved him to the third
spot, noting how he hit against St.
Louis,” Lanier said. “But moving
him there may get his spirits up and
he may get some better pitches to
hit.”
Bass also mentioned hitting be
hind Glenn Davis is a luxury.
“They fear him,” Bass said. “He’s
second in the league in home runs
and RBIs. I feel more aggressive. I
have to be because they come after
me harder than when I’m down in
the order.”
Bass also scored Houston’s fourth
run in the third inning following
Billy Hatcher’s sacrifice fly to center
to help left-hander Bob Knepper,
13-4, win his first start since being
injured August 14 with a pulled
groin.
Knepper has won five of his last
six decisions. Dave Smith posted his
24th save of 28 opportunities in
1988 by closing the game.
Knepper did not have a great out-
ting, giving up eight hits and three
runs in five-plus innings, but St.
Louis left-hander Greg Mathews, 3-
5, had a tougher time with a pitching
line of five hits and four runs in only
three innings.
“He was high-balling,” St. Louis
manager Whitey Herzog said. “He
threw a high change-up to Bass and
he’s not a power pitcher. He’s got to
get the ball down.”
Mathews was philosophical about
the loss.
’’This is not a disaster,” Mathews
said. “I can’t let one bad game de
stroy me.”
Herzog, however, didn’t like
Mathews casual approach.
“He feels good?” Herzog re
sponded. “With three wins? I’d like a
sore-armed guy with 20 wins. He’s
got to remember the only purpose is
to win.”
Tiger injuries worsen
with loss of Whitaker
DETROIT (AP) — The cracks in
the Detroit Tigers’ already-thin ar
mor began to show in August. Now
those cracks have become gaps that
even a managerial magician like
Sparky Anderson may be unable to
repair.
The Tigers, who clung to the
American League East lead while
losing 11 of their last 13 games, fi
nally were caught Sunday by the
Boston Red Sox. The two entered
play Monday tied for the division
“We just have too many injuries
right now,” Anderson said. “I’d like
to go with a set lineup the rest of the
way, but I can’t. But there’s no use
crying about it. I’m sure they’re ain’t
gonna worry about it in New York or
Boston.”
Second baseman Lou Whitaker
was the latest to go down — literally.
Whitaker tore cartilege in his right
knee while dancing and doing the
splits at an anniversary party he at
tended with his wife after the Tigers
loss Saturday night to the Milwaukee
Brewers. He’s out 10 days to two
weeks.
The Tigers as a team are hitting
.255, third to last in the 14-team
American League.
“I still think we’ve got a good team
on the field, but nobody’s hitting,
and the pitchers are just kind of suf
focating. They know if they fall be
hind, it’s going to be a long game,”
third baseman Tom Brookens said.
The pitching staff, which was
most responsible for getting the Ti
gers to first place and keeping them
there, has fallen on hard times.
Second-year starter Jeff Robin
son, 13-6 with a 2.98 ERA hasn’t
started since being bothered by two
inflamed fingers on his pitching
hand; Frank Tanana, 14-9 with a
4.25 ERA; and Eric King, 3-1, 3.65
ERA since being called up from To
ledo, each missed a turn with a stiff
shoulder.
General Manager Bill Lajoie fi
nally landed some help in an 11th-
hour trade last week with Baltimore
that brought Fred Lynn, 18 home
runs, 38 RBI, to Detroit.
