(AP) - The Dallas Cowboys dared the !ew York Giants to throw the ball ndthe offer was just too good to re- "t for Phil Simms and the NFL’s lost boring offense. Simms threw three touchdown asses for the First time in more than year and moved past Hall of Famer erry Bradshaw into 20th place in 1-time completions as the Giants mtinued their dominance of Dallas itha31-17 decision Sunday. The victory, New York’s sixth raight over the Cowboys, also was le second in three weeks against alias (1-3) and sent New York into icNFC East bye week with a 4-0 re- | d. It is the second straight season e Giants have opened 4-0. The win was similar to New York’s p-7 decision in Dallas, with one ex- ption: the Giants opened things I) more with the pass instead of unding it out on the ground like ic first game when they rushed 50 nesfor 168 yards. “Let’s face it, we want to run the 11 and control it,” Giants center art Oates said. “But when the other am puts eight guys up front to stop run, you have to throw the ball. It wasn’t so much a matter of them daring us to throw. It was more des peration. They knew they couldn’t let us run the way we did two weeks ago.” _ New York carried 33 times for 136 yards Sunday, but it was Simms who did the damage. He hit 16 of 22 passes for 188 yards and had touch down passes of 12 yards to Mark In gram, seven to Bob Mrosko and 27 to rookie Rodney Hampton. “Everything we did today was sim ple,” Simms said after his first three- TD passing performance since the final game of the ’88 season against the Jets. “It was nothing complicated or tricky. We weren’t trying to fool anyone. We just won the battle phys ically.” Dallas free safety Ray Horton said he was somewhat surprised the Gi ants passed so much after being so effective on the ground the last two games. In both contests, New York has had 40 minutes of possession. “It seems they just come out each week and say let’s do this and let’s do that,” Horton said, “And in four weeks, they haven’t been turned back yet.” The Cowboys never threatened to make it a game, although they did manage to close the score to 17-10 midway through the third period on a 4-yard run by Emmitt Smith. It was the first touchdown against the Gi ants’ defense in 163 minutes, 20 sec onds, dating to a fourth-quarter TD run by Randall Cunningham of Phil adelphia in the opening game. However, Simms and the Giants responded by driving 75 yards in 12 plays, with Hampton catching his second pro touchdown 38 seconds into the fourth quarter for a 24-10 lead. “I had a seam pattern and a free release,” Hampton said. “They didn’t touch me and Phil put the ball right there.” Simms’ 16 completions gave him 2,040 in his 12-year career and easily moved him past Bradshaw, who had 2,025 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Troy Aikman was almost as im pressive for Dallas, hitting 21 of 26 for 233 yards, including a 7-yard TD pass to Jay Novacek with 1:58 to play. It came shortly after backup quarterback Jeff Hostetler had ex tended the Giants lead to 31-10 with a 12-yard run. Blue Jays’ win cuts Red Sox lead to 1 game BOSTON (AP) — Fred McGriff led Toronto’s 19-hit bar rage with four singles and the Blue Jays charged back to within one game of Boston in the Ameri can League East, roughing up the Red Sox 10-5 Sunday. The Blue Jays salvaged the fi nale of a three-game series and prevented Boston from clinching a share of the division title. To ronto now finishes the regular season with three games at Balti more while the Red Sox are home for the last three against Chicago. The Blue Jays blew an early 4-1 lead and after Boston tied it, they broke it open with three runs in the fifth and three more in the seventh. McGriff helped Toronto to a 1- 0 lead in the first, had an RBI sin gle during a three-run second and added a two-run single in the fifth. Jimmy Key (13-7) allowed nine hits, including Tom Brunansky’s fifth homer in three days, and five runs in 6 2-3 innings. He gave way in the seventh to Jim Acker after Jody Reed got his third hit. Joe Hesketh (0-4), the second Boston pitcher, took the loss, sur rendering a tie-breaking homer to Junior Felix, his 15th, in the fifth. Boston starter Greg Harris (6- 0) lasted just 1 2-3 innings, allow ing four runs on five hits and two walks. Hesketh replaced Harris, but wilted after Boston pulled into a 4-aii tie with two runs in the fourth. Hesketh gave up eight hits and three runs. Tony Fernandez and George Bell each got three hits for To ronto. Kelly Gruber struck out for the third out in the first, but reached base on Harris’ wild pitch. Gruber later scored on Bell’s sin gle and Boston tied it in its first on Wade Boggs’ RBI single. The Blue Jays combined four hits and a walk for three runs in the second. Mookie Wilson had a sacrifice fly, McGriff hit an RBI single and another run scored as catcher Tony Pena mishandled a throw to the plate for an error. Boston scored on doubles by Pena and Carlos Quintana in the second, then made it 4-4 in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Dwight Evans and a single by Pena.

It was the long est streak any club had gone without finishing last. Drabek (22-6), the NL Cy Young Award favorite, closed out the clincher in style with his third shut out of the season and ninth complete game. He pitched to only one batter over the minimum through seven in nings as he won for eighth time in nine decisions. He has lost only twice in 18 starts since June 28. , Drabek gave up a one-out double to Terry Pendleton in the second, a leadoff single to Jose Oquendo in the third and a one-out single to Milt Thompson in the fifth. But he stranded Pendleton on third and helped himself by picking off both Oquendo and Thompson. Joe Magrane (10-17) took a three- hitter into the eighth but the Pirates loaded the bases on singles by Don Slaught, Jose Lind and Drabek. It f s Time To Play!
