EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (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.

They regained possession at their

:ety Bubba McDowell on the first
iy of the fourth quarter. A 14-play
ive concluded with a 34-yard field
[al by Tony Zendejas, who misfired
two earlier tries.
jSan Diego (1-3) then drove from
24 to the Oilers’ 3, but the Charg-
lost seven yards when Glenn
Montgomery and William Fuller
combined to sack Tolliver, Hous
ton’s first sack of the game. After
two incompletions, Fuad Reveiz
missed a 27-yard field goal attempt
with 2:49 to play.
Houston then ran out the clock.
It was Reveiz’s second miss of the
game. He has made only two of
seven field goals this year.
Tolliver had 174 yards passing,
completing 14 of 25 throws with two
interceptions. Moon completed 27
of 46 passes while throwing one in
terception.
Moon’s second touchdown pass, a
22-yarder to Givens with 29 seconds
remaining in the second quarter,
gave Houston a 14-7 halftime lead.
Givens made the catch between
two San Diego defenders in the cen
ter of the end zone after the Charg
ers pulled into a 7-7 tie on Tolliver’s
27-yard scoring pass to Anthony
Miller.
irates clinch NL East,
prepare for Reds series
|ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Pitts-
rgh Pirates clinched their first Na
nai League East title since the
ico days of “We are Family,” beat-
the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 Sun-
lyon Doug Drabek’s three-hitter.
Pittsburgh, which has won a sea-
n-high seven straight games and
10 of 11, will play Cincinnati starting
ursday in a rematch of the 1979
playoffs. The Reds and the Pi-
Jteswere the only NL teams not to
in division titles in the 1980s.
The Pirates, who finished fifth
it season with a 74-88 record, dom-
ted the NL East at the start, clos-
April with 10 victories in 11
(mes to take over first.
ittsburgh has led the division for
of 175 days, moving into first

on Aug. 4 and then sweeping a

rk Mets.

Pittsburgh will now be meaning-
While the Pirates reached the top,
the Cardinals dropped to 70-89 and
ensured they will finish last for the
first time since 1918. 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.
