 |   For the third straight game Reggie Jackson (.500, 3 HR, 5 RBI) homers and for the third straight game the New York Yankees win - this time a 4-3 victory over Milwaukee at Yankee Stadium. Graig Nettles (.455, 2 HR, 5 RBI) also homers as part of a thre hit day while Ron Guidry (1-0, 3.38 ERA) goes eight innings, striking out eight for his first win of the year. Moose Haas (0-1, 4.50 ERA) goes the distance for the Brewers in the loss. |
  After both teams combine for eight runs in the ninth inning, Ed Armbrister (.667) triples off of Padres reliever Brent Strom and later scores the winning run on a Dave Concepcion sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give the Reds a 6-5 win over San Diego. Ken Griffey (.333, 2 RBI) goes 3-for-3 with two runs scored for Cincinnati in the win. |
  Pittsburgh's Jerry Reuss (1-0, 0.00 ERA) and Kent Tukulve (2 SV, 0.00 ERA) combine to hold the Cardinals to four hits and use three hits from Dave Parker (.583, 2 RBI) to squeak out a 2-1 win. |
  After getting hit with a Rick Reed pitch with one out in the top of the ninth inning, Montreal's Andre Dawson (.375, 1 RBI) takes the game into his own hands as he steals second and third, then scores the winning run on a Wayne Garrett (.600, 1 RBI) single - his third hit of the game - for a 5-4 win over Philadelphia. |
  With two out in the top of the 10th inning, Roger Metzger (1st error) misplays a ground ball at third base hit by Tom Paciorek, enabling Gary Matthews to score from second and giving Atlanta a 7-6 win over the Astros. It was the very first inning Metzger has played at third in his career. Astros catcher Joe Ferguson (.200, 1 HR, 4 RBI) had tied the game in the seventh with a three-run home run. |

  Wearing a huge brace that makes his left leg look twice as big as his right, Tigers starter Mark Fidrych (1.00 ERA) astounds the trainers by scattering nine hits in a complete game 7-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Fidrych threw 112 pitches in the game and was quoted afterward as saying "...tonight there is no pain - tomorrow might be another story." |
