After eight appearances out the bullpen, Houston pitcher Dan Larson (1-2, 3.06 ERA) throws a three-hitter in his first start of the season as the Astros blank Philadelphia, 5-0. Larson whiffs seven hitters while Julio Gonzalez (.233, 7 RBI) leads the offense with three hits and two runs batted in. A starter last season, Larson was moved to the bullpen at the beginning of this year.
Vern Ruhle (3-4, 3.43 ERA) gives up four hits in eight innings as Detroit gets a road win, 3-0, over the White Sox at Comiskey Park. Chicago starter Francisco Barrios (0-6) loses his sixth consecutive game, giving up two earned runs over 8 1/3 innings.
Cleveland bats fall silent again as Royals starter Marty Pattin (5-3, 2.91 ERA) goes the distance in leading Kansas City to a 6-1 win, allowing six hits and striking out three.
With the two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th inning, Giants pitcher Gary Lavelle walks Jeff Davanon (4 RBI) on seven pitches to give the Cardinals a 2-1 win. Dave Heaverlo (2-1, 2.25 ERA) starts the inning giving up a single to Bake McBride (.324) and inducing Keith Hernandez to fly out. Lavelle then comes in and is greeted with a Ted Simmons (.252) single followed by a intentional walk to Buddy Bell to load the bases. Jerry Mumphrey then flies out leading to the dramatic walk-off...walk.
Seattle's Bill Stein (.237, 18 RBI) has three runs batted in, his last two coming in the top of the eighth off of Dave Giusti (0-2, 2 BS, 7.88 ERA) for the go-ahead runs and a 4-3 Mariners victory over Oakland. Starter Rick Jones (4.43 ERA) goes seven innings, giving up four hits and two runs before giving way to eventual winner Dave Pagan (1-2). Doc Medich (3.36 ERA) gave up one earned run and six hits in eight innings while not getting a decision for Oakland.
With both teams scoreless through eight innings, Atlanta's Jeff Burroughs (.261, 10 HR, 25 RBI) breaks up the shutout with a one-out, two-run walk off home run off Cubs starter Steve Renko (5-3, 2.57 ERA) to give the Braves a 2-0 victory. Jaime Easterly (5.40 ERA) starts for the first time in over a month for Atlanta and throws seven scoreless innings - allowing just four hits. Renko strikes out seven in the loss, giving up seven hits in 8 1/3 innings.
With two out in the bottom of the ninth, the Expos string together three consecutive hits off of San Diego's Rollie Fingers (1-3, 4 BS, 8.47 ERA) - the last being a two-run double by Warren Cromartie (.276, 5 RBI) to tie the game at five runs apiece. Brent Strom then replaces Fingers and promptly gives up a game-winning double to Ellis Valentine (.291, 10 RBI). Bill Almon (.237, 20 RBI) collects three hits in the loss while Padres' starter Randy Jones (3.95 ERA) scatters seven hits and two runs in eight innings before giving way to La Gran Moustache.
