Mays miss Tarpley in loss
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) —
Magic Johnson scored a season-high
38 points, including a halfcourt shot
at the end of the first half, as the Los
Angeles Lakers beat the Dallas Mav
ericks for the ninth straight time
with a 113-106 victory Monday
night.
The Lakers, trying to claim the
NBA’s best record and the home-
court advantage throughout the
playoffs for the third time in four
seasons, used their seventh consec
utive triumph to improve their re
cord to 58-17 and their lead over de
fending league champion Detroit
Pistons to four games.
Rolando Blackman scored 19
points for the Mavericks. Teammate
Roy Tarpley sat out the second game
of a two-game suspension from
coach Richie Adubato for missing
Friday’s practice. Earlier in the day,

ARLINGTON — Nolan Ryan was
on the trail of his sixth career no-hit
ter Monday night in front of a sell
out crowd of 40,907 at Arlington
Stadium.
But it wasn’t to be for Ryan. He
tired after five innings and was re
moved after throwing 90 pitches. He
allowed four walks while striking out
four, and was relieved by Mike Jef-
fcoat.
Ryan, 43, picked up 290th career
win, as the Rangers moved by the
Toronto Blue Jays, 4-2.
Ryan pitched only once in spring
training, going seven innings and
giving up seven hits against the Chi
cago White Sox on March 30.
Last year, Ryan came close to
picking up his sixth no-hitter, but
fell in the late innings. In 1989, he
took no-hitters into the final inning
four times and lost them all.
The Rangers’ hitting star was first
baseman Rafael Palrniero. Palmiero
was two-for-two with a home run
and a triple, and had two walks. He
scored three of the Rangers’ runs.
The Rangers jumped out to a two-
run lead in the bottom of the first in
ning. Palmiero walked and scored
on a home run by designated hitter
HOUSTON (AP) — Barry Larkip
was looking for a strike and Charley
Kerfeld gave him one that became a
three-run triple in the 11th inning
Monday night, helping Cincinnati to
an 8-4 victory over the Houston As
tros in Lou Piniella’s debut as Reds
manager.
Kerfeld loaded the bases with a
pair of walks and a single. Larkin
then drove a triple to right-center to
beat Kerfeld, making his first major-
league appearance in two seasons.
“I knew he didn’t want to go 3-
and-2 on me so I knew I’d get a
strike,” Larkin said after the Reds’
season-opening victory. “And that’s
where it was, right over the plate.”
Larkin played the game despite
an ankle injury sustained during
spring training.
“I wasn’t going to start the season
on the bench,” Larkin said. “I
sprained it in a collision. They asked
if I wanted to play. I wouldn’t let any
ankle injury stop me.”
Kerfeld underwent shoulder sur
gery after playing a key role in the
Astros’ 1986 National League West
title. He had not pitched in the ma
jors since 1987.
“Maybe I was a little too excited,
but I saw 30,000 or 40,000 fans that
Tarpley tested negative for cocaine
and alcohol use.
With center Mychal Thompson
out with a hyperextended right knee
suffered Friday night at Phoenix,
the Lakers started Y ugoslavian
rookie Vlade Divac loi just the sec
ond time this season. Divac had 21
points and 11 rebounds.
Sam Perkins cut the Mavericks’
deficit to 78-73 with the first basket
of the fourth quarter before the
Lakers scored 14 of the next 19
points, including Johnson’s driving
layup with 8:09 left, to open the
margin to 92-78.
Moments after Dallas guard
Derek Harper drew his second tech
nical foul in a 94-second span, the
Lakers took their largest lead, 103-
88, on Michael Cooper’s 3-pointer
with 4:13 to play. Dallas closed to
109-104 on a jumper by Anthony
Harold Baines. The homer, the
Rangers’ first of the season, was a
line shot over the 380-foot mark in
right-centerfield.
“We picked the perfect night with
Nolan on the mound and a sellout
crowd,” Palmiero said.
Palmiero spent a lot of time in the
weightroom over the offseason.
“I feel stronger this year, and I
don’t want to get weak toward the
end of the year,” he said.
Palmiero led off the third inning
with a triple off the rightfield wall,
and scored on Baines' groundout.
Palmiero scored the Rangers’ final
run in the seventh inning when he
stroked a home run over the left
field wall.
Jeffcoat pitched two and two-
third innings and gave up two hits.
Both Toronto runs were charged to
him.
Jeff Russell came on with two outs
in the eighth and gave up a two-run
double to Kelly Gruber. Gruber was
thrown out on the play at third base
while trying to stretch it into a'triple.
Russell then retired the Blue Jays
in order in the ninth to pick up the
save.
Gruber had two of the three Blue
Jay hits. His first hit was a double off
Jeffcoat in the sixth that broke up
the no-hitter.
were excited too,” Kerfeld said. “I
wouldn’t be sitting here if I didn’t
throw well in spring training.
“Tomorrow is another day. I’ll get
up and the sun will be shining.”
Mariano Duncan kept the Reds in
the game early with a two-run
homer in the second and a run-scor
ing single in the sixth that tied the
game at 4-4 and forced extra in
nings.
“It’s going to take all 24 men on
the roster, but if we play like we did
tonight, we can go a long way,” Dun
can said.
Kerfeld walked Joe Oliver to start
the 11th and Hal Morris followed
with a single. After a sacrifice by Ron
Oester, Chris Sabo was intentionally
walked and former Astro Billy
Hatcher struck out.
Larkin then hit a liner to right to
score pinch-runner Rolando
Roomes, Morris and Sabo. Eric Da
vis singled in Larkin.
Winner Randy Myers pitched 1 2-
3 innings of hitless relief.
Glenn Davis was hit by pitches
three times, tying a major league re
cord and setting a Houston record.
The last to be hit three times was
Ron Hunt of San Francisco in 1969.
Jones w'ith 31 seconds left, but John
son re-entered the game and sank a
pait of free throws to clinch the tic-
tory the L.akers’ 10th straight at
home.
Dallas used a 14-3 run, engi
neered by Harper’s layup and three
assists and capped by Blackmans
layup, to turn a 10-point deficit into
a 64-63 lead with 6:10 leIt in the
third quarter. But Johnson climaxed
an 11-0 run with his third 3-pointti
of the game and a pair of free
throws to restore the Lakers’margin
to 74-64 with three minutes left in
the period.
After Harper hit a driving layup
with 2.4 seconds on the clock, John
son let fly from five feet behind the
midcourt line and hit nothing but
net to give the Lakers their biggest
lead of the half.

Vikings release
veteran Kramer
LDLN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP)-
fommy Kramer, ranked either first
or second in every major passing cat
egory for the Minnesota Vikings,
was released by the NFL tearaathis
request on Monday.
Kramer, the Vikings’ first-round
draft pick from Rice University in
1977 and at 35 the Vikings’ oldest
player on offense, said General
Manage! Mike Lynn told him that
he probably would be no bettei than
the team’s third-string quarterback
this season.
He said Lynn had told him that
Wade Wilson again would be the No.
1 quarterback and that Rich Gan
non, 24, who was acquired from New
England in 1987 in exchange for
Minnesota’s fourth-and llth-round
picks in the 1988 draft, would get a
shot at the No. 2 spot.
“I’ve enjoyed my time with the Vi
kings,” Kramer said in a statement
released by the Vikings. “I don’t
want to retire just yet. I’m looking
forward to a new challenge and
hope to get an opportunity to learn
and operate a new system. It should
be interesting after so many years
with the Vikings.”
Kramer couldn’t be reached im
mediately for further comment.
Kramer, a 13-year veteran who
was the Vikings starting quarterback
from 1979 until the last couple of
years, was one of 13 Vikings left un
protected from Plan B free agency
in February.
Plan B players who had not signed
by April 1 and still had contracts re
verted back to their former cjubs un
der their old contracts.
Kramer had one vear left on a
two-year contract extension he
signed last year, which would have
paid him about $1 million this sea
son. The Vikings are now free of
that obligation.
