Astros win after team meeting FBI ends Rose inquiri
HOUSTON (AP) — The
Houston Astros are trying to
change their tendency for a late-
season swoon, according to Ken
Caminiti.
“We’ve had a history of fading
down the stretch because we
tense up. We’ve got to realize that
September is a Tong month and
we can still get some momentum
going,” Caminiti said after he
drove in three runs to lead the
Astros to a 6-3 victory Sunday
over the St. Louis Cardinals.
A year ago Sunday, Houston
was within 4V2 games of first
place but faded badly to finish
12*/2 behind Los Angeles in the
National League West. The vic
tory snapped a five game-losing
streak that followed a closed door
pregame team meeting.
“Glenn Davis called the meet
ing and after that everybody just
got up and put in their two
cents,” Caminiti said. “We needed
it. A lot of guys stood up and said
what needed to be said. It was
taken positively.
“More than anything else it
changed the attitude of the
team,” Caminiti continued. “We
were just waiting for something
to happen instead of going out

and making it happen. When we
didn’t get the big hit we were
going back to the bench and sulk
ing instead of tring to pick the
next guy up.”
In contrast, the Cardinals had
won 10 of their last 14 and are
heading home for an eight-game
homestand after a successful 10-
game road trip.
“We played good on this trip.
How we do the rest of the way de
pends on my pitching,” St. Louis
manager White Herzog said.
Said Cardinals’ shortstop Ozzie
Smith: “We’re a veteran ballclub
and we have been written off a lot
in the 1980s. Considering the in
juries we’ve had this year we’re
doing OK.”
Caminiti drove in two runs on
a decisive double in the sixth.
With Houston trailing 3-2, Da
vis reached on an infield single
with one out against Ted Power,
5-6.
One out later, Terry Puhl
walked before Caminiti lined a
one-hopper against the right field
wall.
Bob Forsch, 4-4, went six in
nings and gave up three runs on
four hits while walking two and
striking out two.
Dave Smith, the third Houston
pitcher, worked the final inning
for his 23rd save in 27 opportuni
ties.
Glenn Wilson added a two-run
double for Houston in the sev
enth.
The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead
in the third on Willie McGee’s
third homer, which drove in
Tony Pena, who had singled.
The Astros tied it in the fourth
when Kevin Bass led off with a
single and went to third on a dou
ble by Davis.
Bass scored on an infield single
by Puhl and Caminiti drove in
Davis with a sacrifice fly.
In an unusual play, Houston’s
Rafael Ramirez was called out in
the first inning without ever bat-
ting.
(AP) — The FBI has dropped its
investigation of Pete Rose, a newspa
per reported Sunday.
Baseball Commissioner A. Bart
lett Giamatti banned the Cincinnati
Reds manager and baseball’s all-time
leading hitter from the game for life
on Thursday, noting there was evi
dence that Rose bet on baseball and
his own team and that Rose refused
to attend a hearing on the charges.
But The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer
said in its Sunday editions that the
FBI had concluded a gambling and
drug investigation of Rose and does
not intend to file criminal charges.
“The FBI simply isn’t investigat
ing Pete,” Edwin Boldt Jr., the bu
reau’s legal adviser and press
spokesman in Cincinnati, told the
newspaper Saturday. “I’m happy to
say that on the record.”
Transcripts of a hearing on the
gambling accusations lodged against
Rose could have been used in the
drug-trafficking and tax evasion
trial of Rose’s former housemate,
Thomas Gioiosa, which began
Thursday in U.S. District Court in
Cincinnati, The Dayton Daily News
reported Saturday.
Although the FBI has apparently
closed its gambling and
quiry, Rose still is being invei
by a federal grand jury in Qik
focusing on alleged incometa*
tions.^^^^^^B
