A day after driving three runs in a Giants win over Cincinnati, Bill Madlock (.333, 4 HR, 21 RBI) was at it again as he drives in five more runs while scoring four times himself and getting four hits in five at-bats in San Francisco's 14-1 thrashing of the Reds. Madlock singled twice, doubled and hit his fourth home run of the year. Darrell Evans (.326, 10 RBI) added four hits as well and starter John Montefusco (3-4, 4.22 ERA) holds Cincy to four hits through eight innings while striking out six.
After starting the year in the bullpen, Detroit's Milt Wilcox (2-0, 1.74 ERA) may have won himself a spot in the rotation as he two-hits the Brewers for a 1-0 victory. In just his second start, Wilcox strikes out nine and walks only one for his first career complete game. Milwaukee starter Moose Haas (1-6, 3.49 ERA) was up to the task as he holds the Tigers to four hits through 7 2/3 innings, but Lou Whitaker (.272) doubles to leadoff the second and later scores on a sacrifice fly for the only scoring in the game.
California RF Bobby Bonds (.231, 6 HR, 19 RBI) took it upon himself to get his team a victory as he goes 4-for-4 with two home runs and drives home all four Angels runs in a 4-1 triumph over New York. Paul Hartzell (5-1, 2.14 ERA) handles the Yankee lineup, holding them to four hits in his eight innings of work.
Toronto uses three solo home runs from Alan Ashby (.333, 6 HR, 18 RBI), Al Woods (.288, 2 HR, 10 RBI) and Otto Velez (.242, 6 HR, 19 RBI) to keep rookie pitcher Jim Clancy (6-0, 2.89 ERA) undefeated and give the Blue Jays a 5-4 win over Minnesota.
Rookie SS Rafael Landestoy (.257, 7 RBI) and newly acquired Don Baylor (.281) each have three hits as the Dodgers take over the NL West lead with a 7-5 victory over New York. Burt Hooten (3-1, 2.92 ERA) gives up four hits and one earned run through seven innings to get the win.
An error by Jack Brohamer (his 1st) at short gives the Indians an extra out in the 11th inning and Rico Carty (.321, 22 RBI) comes through with an RBI double and scores on a single by Ron Pruitt (.318, 12 RBI) to give Cleveland a 4-2 win over the White Sox in their second straight extra-inning affair. Wayne Garland (1.88 ERA) goes eight innings, giving up five hits and a run but gets a no decision as does Chicago starter Stan Bahnsen (4.84 ERA), who allows seven hits and two runs over 9 1/3 innings.
Thanks to a pair of three-run home runs by Mike Schmidt (.321, 7 HR, 21 RBI) and a nine strikeout performance by Tom Underwood (2-0, 2.63 ERA), the Phillies beat San Diego 9-5 for their sixth consecutive win. Lee Lacy (.327, 3 HR, 20 RBI) has three hits, scoring three times and driving in another pair in the process.
Gaylord Perry (6-2, 2.19 ERA) gets his sixth win of the year and the Rangers get their sixth win in a row as Jimmy Sexton (.233, 1 HR, 3 RBI) hits a key three-run home run in the sixth to give Texas the lead and the 5-4 win over the Royals.
Two-out RBI singles by Leon Roberts (.286, 9 RBI) and pinch-hitter Willie Crawford (.444, 2 RBI) are the deciding runs in a 5-3 Houston victory over the Pirates. Roberts ends the day with three hits and three runs batted in while Omar Moreno (.255, 11 RBI) reaches base in all four plate appearances scoring two runs on his three hits for Pittsburgh.
