Thousands of Vietnamese children fathered by Americans and about 10,000 former and present Vietnamese political prisoners may enter the United States, Secretary of State George P. Shultz announced. He appealed to Hanoi to live up to a promise to let them go.
The President said he would meet September 28 at the White House with the Soviet Foreign Minister, Andrei A. Gromyko, in an effort to ease “suspicion and hostility” and “maybe convince him that the United States means no harm.” In making the announcement at a televised briefing, Mr. Reagan denied that he had been motivated by the election campaign and by criticism that Soviet- American relations had worsened under his Administration and that he had not met with any Soviet leader. “I have been facing a problem that no other President has faced,” he said, noting that there had been three Soviet leaders during his term — Leonid I. Brezhnev, Yuri V. Andropov and Konstantin U. Chernenko.
The Soviet press has not reported the White House’s invitation to Mr. Gromyko, and diplomats were cautious in appraising the significance of such a meeting. The only Soviet reference thus far has been the statement by Georgi M. Korniyenko, a First Deputy Foreign Minister, who said Monday on the NBC News program “Today” that it had been customary for Mr. Gromyko to meet with United States Presidents before the Reagan Administration. “If this time, in Washington, they think it is appropriate to turn back to that practice,” he said, “I believe there will be no difficulty on our part.”
President Reagan meets with Lord Carrington, the new Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
A Tomahawk cruise missile crashed Monday shortly after it was launched from a submerged submarine at the Navy’s test site in Puerto Rico, the Pentagon announced. A spokesman said a difficulty occurred in the transition from the booster phase to cruise flight and the missile crashed into the sea. He added that the unarmed missile was to have flown about 175 miles to hit a ship hulk. The spokesman said the test was the 134th cruise missile test, and that about 85 percent have been successful.
Troops from six Warsaw Pact countries began military exercises in Czechoslovakia today, the Tass press agency reported from Prague. Some 60,000 soldiers are involved in the maneuvers. Troops from Bulgaria, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary are participating along with the Soviet Union. Rumania, in keeping with past practice, sent observers.
Three gunmen wounded two traffic policemen in Londonderry today before Britain’s new minister for Northern Ireland, Douglas Hurd, arrived in Belfast. Mr. Hurd arrived from London for his first day as Northern Ireland Secretary, replacing James Prior, who resigned after serving three years. The attack on the traffic officers occurred in front of a crowded shopping center in Londonderry, 60 miles northwest of Belfast. William Ross, who represents a Belfast district in the British Parliament, said the attack was “a terrorists’ welcome” for Mr. Hurd, who was formerly a Deputy Foreign Minister.
Oleg Bitov, influential Moscow journalist who defected to Britain last year, is believed to have returned to the Soviet Union in the hope of seeing his family, London newspapers and friends reported. Bitov, former cultural editor of the Literary Gazette, has been missing since mid-August. Writer Duff Hart-Davis said Bitov was heartbroken that his wife and 15-year-old daughter were not allowed to join him in the West.
Israel’s Herut Party approved the agreement for a bipartisan government of national unity, but last-minute negotiations continued amid doubt that the deal could be presented to Parliament for approval today as scheduled. Major points still at issue were reported to be who would become religious affairs minister in the new Cabinet, and Jewish settlements in occupied Arab areas. The approval by Herut, the party of caretaker Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and the main element in the ruling Likud coalition, followed approval by Shimon Peres’ Labor alignment. The two main parties have been trying for weeks to work out a coalition after inconclusive elections in July.
Beirut radio reported that Lebanese guerrillas killed four Israeli soldiers in two bomb attacks in southern Lebanon, but an Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said there were no reports of Israeli casualties. The report came two days after Lebanese Justice Minister Nabih Berri, leader of the Shia Muslim militia Amal, said his militiamen were preparing suicide attacks against Israeli occupation troops.
Syria’s power struggle grew confused as Defense Minister Mustafa Tlas was quoted as saying that the brother of President Hafez al-Assad was “persona non grata forever.” Colonel Rifaat al-Assad, the brother of the ailing President, had been viewed as the probable victor in any struggle for succession.
An oil-laden supertanker in the Persian Gulf was struck by a missile that the ship’s captain identified as an Exocet, the type that Iraq has obtained from France. Capt. Tadeusz Gapinski, in a radio interview, said the Liberian-registered St. Tobias was only slightly damaged and that his 32-man, all-Polish crew escaped injury Iraq, involved in a long war with Iran, reported hitting two naval targets in the gulf.
Afghan guerrillas have apparently regained command of the upper part of a strategic Soviet-occupied valley that controls key supply routes in Afghanistan, Western diplomats said today. Reports from two Western embassies in Kabul said the rebels were apparently in control of an area of the Panjsher Valley, extending from Khenj to the Anjuman Mountain pass in the north. The 100-mile-long gorge, northeast of Kabul, was captured nearly three months ago by Soviet and Afghan Government forces, forcing a rebel leader, Ahmad Shah Masoud, to retreat. Mr. Masoud’s guerrillas have returned to the valley and wrested control of the mountainous upper area, according to reports read to reporters by diplomats based in New Delhi. The Soviet-installed Government in Kabul said today that fighting occurred Monday in nine provinces across Afghanistan. The Kabul radio has been reporting fierce battles almost every day since mid-August.
The ruling faction in India’s southern state of Andhra Pradesh dodged for at least one day a scheduled legislative challenge from deposed Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao. By stalling for time on a technical motion, the state government of N. Bhaskara Rao, an appointee of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, appeared to be admitting that it lacks the votes to beat Rama Rao, a former film star.
Voters in the Pacific republic of Palau have approved a compact of free association with the United States. The results of voting Sept. 4, made public Monday, showed 4,209 votes, or 66 percent, in favor and 2,013 opposed the compact, which grants the United States authority to control military activities in return for aid. The islands are in the western Pacific, 1,765 miles south of Japan. The compact must still be accepted by a majority of the people and by both houses of the Palauan Congress. If the compact takes effect, the United States is expected to give Palau $500 million in the next five years, with aid reaching $1 billion over the next 15 years.
Pope John Paul II chided North Americans for drifting away from God into the “apparent spiritual desert” of shifting modern values. On the third day of his 12-day Canada visit, the Pope, speaking in Montreal, challenged more than 1,000 priests to help society overcome a crisis in values that, to many, has left the church “on the margin of things.” Developing the theme at a Mass, he said that “to replace God is an impossible task.”
Bolivia is addicted to cocaine trading and the drug is the most important commodity of foreign exchange. However, with United States prodding and aid, the Bolivian Army has occupied the Chapare, where one- third of the world’s coca leaf grows, and the soldiers have driven the cocaine traffickers away.
A U.S. Navy frigate used water jets to drive off about 2,000 demonstrators protesting a visit by five U.S. warships to the southern Argentine city of Puerto Madryn after sea exercises with the Chilean navy, Argentine news agencies said. The demonstrators reportedly were angry over U.S. support for Britain’s recapturing of the Falkland Islands from Argentine occupation troops in 1982. United States Embassy officials said they had few details, but confirmed that the ship withdrew because of the protest. The news agency Diarios y Noticias said about 2,000 demonstrators gathered at the Puerto Madryn dock shouting “Yankee go home!” and “Killers!” Some protesters blocked the path of trucks carrying provisions to the ship, the destroyer USS Thorn. It was one of five United States Navy vessels participating with South American navies in maneuvers called Unitas 25.
South Africa ordered a strict clampdown on regime opponents, banning all protest meetings after two weeks of rioting in black townships in which about 40 people died. The ban, which will continue through the end of the month, also coincides with the seventh anniversary of the death of black leader Steve Biko in police custody.
The President said the budget deficit would be much lower if Congress had approved all his proposed reductions. Mr. Reagan, pressed to disclose his strategy for reducing the record deficits as Walter F. Mondale did on Monday, said he would propose similar cuts if he was re-elected.
President Reagan participates in a Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony for the late Senator Hubert Humphrey.
Walter F. Mondale renewed a call to President Reagan to propose a plan to reduce the Federal budget deficits that would match Mr. Mondale’s package. Quoting Joe Louis, the Democratic Presidential nominee called to Mr. Reagan, “You can run but you can’t hide.”
Walter Mondale will move rightward on foreign policy issues in the final 60 days of the Presidential campaign to attract moderate and conservative Democrats, according to his aides. The feeling in the Mondale camp is that while President Reagan remains vulnerable on the peace issue, Mr. Mondale is also vulnerable because of his liberal image.
Vice President Bush reluctantly expressed his position on abortion, saying he personally would advocate abortion in cases of rape, although he would oppose the use of public funds to pay for it.
In the nation’s primaries, U.S. Republican Senators Rudy Boschwitz of Minnesota and Alan K. Simpson of Wyoming buried primary challengers in their bids for second terms. Minnesota Secretary of State Joan Growe won the Democratic-Farm-Labor nomination but faces an uphill fight against Boschwitz. In Colorado, Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dick held a strong lead over lawyer Carlos Lucero in a Democratic primary for the chance to challenge Senator William L. Armstrong. Republican Governor John H. Sununu of New Hampshire easily won nomination to a second term, while state House Minority Leader Chris Spirou led in the Democratic race. In Vermont’s GOP gubernatorial primary, Attorney General John Easton defeated banker Hilton Wick. Easton will face popular former Lieutenant Governor Madeleine Kunin, who had no Democratic opposition. In the race for Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro’s seat in the “Archie Bunker” district in Queens, New York City Councilman Thomas Manton won the Democratic primary, and Serphin Maltese, a Conservative Party leader, appeared headed for an easy victory in the Republican primary.
A federal judge in New York refused to bar prosecutors from seeking an indictment of Labor Secretary Raymond J. Donovan’s former construction company or its officers, saying the firm had not shown that the investigation was politically motivated. U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand’s ruling cleared the way for a Bronx grand jury to complete its investigation of allegations that the Schiavone firm falsified records on a federally funded subway project.
The House voted to toughen financial penalties in federal drug cases and make it easier for authorities to seize and sell assets of narcotics dealers. The voice vote sent the legislation to the Senate, which passed similar provisions in a comprehensive crime package favored by the Reagan Administration. In addition to increasing the permissible fines to $250,000, the bill would permit speedier forfeiture proceedings, with specific language allowing the government to seize land used for growing illegal drugs and warehouses for storing narcotics.
Hurricane Diana raked the North Carolina coast east of Cape Fear, packing winds of more than 135 miles an hour, pushing storm tides up to 12 feet higher than normal and pounding the shoreline with torrential rain. But the worst of the hurricane still remained offshore, with its center about 15 miles to east of the Carolina coast. By late evening, damage was reported to be limited consisting mostly of snapped power lines and smashed windows.
An Olympics surplus of $150 million from the Games was reported by the organizers in Los Angeles. They said that most of the money was committed to aiding amateur sports programs. The surplus was about 10 times what the officials had estimated it would be before the July 28 opening of the Games, the first to be privately financed.
The Miss Ohio representative to the Miss America Pageant, who pleaded no contest to shoplifting charges two years ago, said in Atlantic City that she was innocent of any crime. A pageant lawyer attended a news conference with. Melissa Bradley, 23, and disputed information on the case given to United Press International by a judge and a court administrator in Bradley’s home town of Ontario. Pageant lawyer Leonard Horn said that a no-contest plea does not admit guilt and would not keep Bradley from competing in the pageant.
The parents of a Houston teenager charged with murder will probably go to jail for refusing to testify before a grand jury now that a state appellate court has refused to hear their case, their attorney said today. Randy Schaffer, the lawyer, said he would surrender his clients, Bernard and Odette Port, to the Harris County jail when he was ordered to do so. An order has not yet been issued by the judge who found them in contempt. Mr. Schaffer said he would then take the case to the federal courts. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals refused Monday to hear the Ports’ argument that they should not be held in contempt for failing to testify before a grand jury investigating the June 7 slaying of Debora Sue Schatz, a mail carrier who disappeared while delivering mail in the family’s neighborhood. The Ports’ 17-year-old son, David, is free on $20,000 bond on a murder charge filed in the mail carrier’s death. The Ports, who are Jewish, argue that their religion prohibits them from bearing witness against their son.
A jury in Albion, Indiana, convicted a faith-healing couple of reckless homicide and child neglect in the death of their 9-month-old daughter, who died of an untreated brain infection. David Bergmann, 28, and his wife, Kathleen, 27, testified that they practiced the teachings of the Bible when their daughter, Allyson, became ill in late May.
A reporter testified in Atlanta that he had used a “rhetorical device” in a newspaper story when he compared physicist William Shockley’s proposal for the voluntary sterilization of blacks to Nazi experiments during World War II. Roger Witherspoon, 35, a former reporter for the Atlanta Constitution, said that it was fair to compare Shockley’s plan to Nazi genetic experiments but testified that his article was an opinion piece reflecting his own beliefs. Shockley is seeking $1.25 million in damages from Cox Enterprises Inc., publishers of the Constitution, and Witherspoon for the 1980 article, which the physicist contends libeled him.
A judge who fined a woman driver $9 for passing a stop sign and killing a teen-ager attributed the action to a clerical error and a busy schedule, and said, “I’m just sick” over the matter. Circuit Judge David C. Clark of Palm Beach County, Florida said he did not know anyone had died in the accident in which Jean Feldman Brass, 67 years old, was charged with violating the right of way by passing a stop sign. Judge Clark said he was unaware that Brad Lee Garland was killed because the word “fatal” was not printed on the outside of the case file. “Fatal” was written on the traffic ticket inside the file in red letters half an inch high. The judge said he did not look inside the file because he had an unusually busy schedule last Thursday when he fined Mrs. Brass $9 and sentenced her to driving school. Judge Clark said prosecutors were reviewing the case to see if additional charges can be filed.
Five hungry immigrant children, all below the age of 10, who were arrested for stealing food will not be charged, the police in Providence, Rhode Island said today. The five, who are 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 years old, were caught Sunday after they crawled from the basement of a home in the neighboring city of Cranston, the police said. They said the children were carrying partly eaten frozen dinners. Offers of food, money and clothing for the children began coming in today. Their parents are not eligible for welfare because a relative who sponsored their immigration from the Azores three months ago will not sign a financial statement for them.
Excessive prices are still being paid to contractors by the Pentagon, according to documents disclosed by Air Force employees. The prices of some components of large transport planes are about four to five times what they were four years ago, and the Government is spending $170.98 for a flashlight and $74,165 for an aluminum ladder.
Whether Texas Instruments violated any criminal statutes when it shipped improperly tested microchips to manufacturers of weapons systems will probably be investigated, according to Pentagon officials.
Votes on new MX missiles would be put off until next year under a plan being discussed by House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. and the Senate majority leader, Howard H. Baker Jr., according to aides.
Mary Ann Garton Bass married her son and hid their kinship from him for six years because “she did not want any other woman to have him,” a prosecutor said today. Mrs. Bass, 43 years old, was charged with felonious criminal incest for marrying Danny James Sullivan, 26, in 1978. She was seeking psychiatric help for an “obsession” with her son, the prosecutor said. She pleaded not guilty in Dickson County Court and was released on $5,000 bond Monday. Mrs. Bass was Mr. Sullivan’s natural mother and she had also formally adopted him after their marriage. He was unaware of either fact, county officials said. Mrs. Bass gave her son up for adoption by the Horace Sullivan family when he was 3 years old. When, at the age of 18, he came to the Charlotte area looking for his natural family, he met Mrs. Bass, who did not tell him she was his mother. They dated, fell in love and married on January 29, 1978.
The Army announced today that it would station a light infantry division at Fort Drum, here in one of the most economically distressed sections of northern New York. The new division, the first created by the Army since 1975 and the first to be stationed in the Northeast since World War II, will bring 7,500 soldiers and 9,700 dependents to Fort Drum, according to Army officials. In a packed American Legion hall here, six miles from Fort Drum, Representative David O’B. Martin, told cheering local officials: “This is just the beginning. There are a lot of challenges ahead.”
Five members of one Nevada family were killed by a flash flood, and another flash flood watch was issued for the desert Las Vegas region today. A spokesman for the National Weather Service said atmospheric conditions were “ripe for more flooding” today, but called for clearing skies Wednesday. Five members of the Michael Shepard family died Monday night when their pickup truck was engulfed by a four-foot wall of water pouring out of the Spring Mountains near their home southwest of Las Vegas. At Boulder City, 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas, 4.25 inches of rain fell Monday. Average annual rainfall for the Las Vegas Valley is four inches.
At Baltimore, the Detroit Tigers cut their magic number to 7 with a 9–2 clipping of the Orioles. Darrell Evans has 4 hits including a homer. Larry Herndon follows Evans homer with one of his own, while Kirk Gibson has 3 hits and his 27th steal. Dan Petry wins his 17th. He gave up five runs, walked four and struck out six before turning the lead over to Doug Bair in the seventh. Detroit scored five runs in the fifth inning, pounding the starter Bill Swaggerty (3–2) and the reliever Tom Underwood. The Tigers pass the two million mark in road attendance tonight and become the fifth team in American League history to go over that mark at home and on the road.
The Minnesota Twins rode the six-hit pitching of Frank Viola and consecutive seventh-inning homers by Kent Hrbek and Tom Brunansky to take sole possession of first place in the American League West tonight with a 5–1 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The Twins are a game ahead of the Royals and two games ahead of the Angels, who lost to the Indians, 4–2. The Twins were leading 1–0 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh when Tim Teufel hit his second double of the game and scored on Mickey Hatcher’s second run-scoring single. Hrbek then smashed the ball into the right-center field gap and circled the bases for an inside-the-park home run, his 25th homer of the season. Brunansky belted the next pitch into the left-field seats for his 30th homer. Viola (16–12) went the distance, striking out nine and walking two to beat the left-hander Charlie Leibrandt (9–7).
The Cleveland Indians’ Andre Thornton blasted a two-run homer, and Don Schulze, a rookie right-hander, scattered nine hits in downing the California Angels, 4–2. Thornton’s 31st homer of the season capped a three-run rally in the first inning against Ron Romanick (10-12), who has not won since July 31. Brett Butler led off with a single and stole second before Julio Franco singled him home. One out later, Thornton connected for his 92nd and 93rd RBIs of the season.
The New York Yankees were frustrated tonight by the bunt, the bloop and then the home run, and lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 10–3. The bunt by Cliff Johnson was unpredictable, the bloop hits were uncanny and the homers were crushing blows that came in the four-run fifth and gave Toronto an 8–0 lead. But this game was memorable for what followed the homers, a high fastball by Dennis Rasmussen that flew by Willie Upshaw’s eyes and the brief skirmish the pitch created. Upshaw was the first man to bat for the Blue Jays following the second of the two home runs in the fifth, and that in the time-honored logic of baseball meant that Upshaw could expect to see a pitch close to his body, the pitcher’s method of re-establishing his presence. But the ball nearly struck Upshaw in the head and he rushed the mound.
The Milwaukee Brewers routed the Boston Red Sox, 14–6. Cecil Cooper capped a four-run fifth inning with a three-run homer, and Willie Lozado and Robin Yount had two hits each, including consecutive homers in a nine-run seventh inning, to power Milwaukee past Boston. The Brewers matched the biggest one-inning output in their history in the seventh. Lozado, a rookie third baseman, singled to left to open the seventh, one of his four hits. Yount then followed with a single, chasing the Boston starter Dennis Boyd (10–10), who was replaced by Steve Crawford. Jim Gantner grounded to the third baseman Wade Boggs, whose throw to second was too late to force Lozado. Barrett’s relay to first sailed into the Boston dugout, permitting two runs to score and Gantner to reach second. Cooper received an intentional walk and Crawford retired the next two batters. But Bill Schroeder, Dion James and Ed Romero followed with RBI singles. Lozado then belted a three-run shot into the left field screen for his first major league homer. Yount was knocked down on Crawford’s next pitch, but got up and drilled the next pitch into the screen for his 12th homer.
Curt Young (8-4) allowed six hits over eight innings, and Dave Kingman knocked in his 114th run in leading the Oakland A’s to a 4–1 win over the Chicago White Sox. Consecutive singles by Carney Lansford, Joe Morgan and Kingman put Oakland ahead in the first. Vance Law hit his 16th homer in the second to tie it at 1-1. Singles by Mickey Tettleton, Donnie Hill and Almon produced the go-ahead run in the fifth off LaMarr Hoyt (12-16).
Rookie Danny Tartabull hit a two-out, bases-loaded infield single, the only hit of the inning, scoring Darnell Coles as the Mariners rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning at Seattle to beat the Texas Rangers, 4–3. Texas third baseman Buddy Bell fielded Tartabull’s bouncer behind third base, but pulled first baseman Pete O’Brien off the bag. Texas reliever Dickie Noles, 1–3, hit Alvin Davis to open the ninth. Domingo Ramos then ran for Davis. Ken Phelps walked and Dave Schmidt replaced Noles. Coles ran for Phelps. Dave Henderson then sacrificed the runners into scoring position.
Ozzie Virgil hit a two-out, bases-loaded single in the ninth inning to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6–3 victory over the Chicago Cubs today. Virgil’s grounder was fielded behind second by the shortstop, Tom Veryzer, who attempted to flip the ball backhanded to the second baseman, Ryne Sandberg. The toss was wide and two runs scored. Charles Hudson (9–10) earned the victory, and Lee Smith (9–6) was the loser. Al Holland hurled the ninth to record his 29th save. The loss was the first in six home games for the Eastern Division-leading Cubs, whose division-clinching number — the combination of Cub victories and New York Met defeats needed for Chicago to wrap up the title — dropped to 11 with the Mets’ loss tonight to the Cardinals.
On an evening that will haunt them all winter, the New York Mets were probably blasted right out of September last night when the St. Louis Cardinals scored five runs off Jesse Orosco with two out in the eighth inning and demolished them, 9–5. In one horrendous inning, Orosco threw 43 pitches to nine batters, walked two with the bases loaded, gave up a three-run double by Tommy Herr with the bases loaded and blew both a lead and a chance to gain ground in the dying days of the pennant race. When it was over, the Mets had 17 games left to play but were still seven games behind the Chicago Cubs, who had lost earlier in the day.
In Pittsburgh, Rick Rhoden allows 3 hits, two by Tim Raines, as the Pirates top the Montreal Expos, 5–1. Rhoden (13—9) struck out three and walked nine in posting his fifth complete game. Johnny Ray hit a three-run homer to pace the Pittsburgh attack. Rhoden has a hit and a run, the 11th straight game he’s made a hit while pitching. Gary Peters, White Sox in 1966, was the last pitcher to put together an 11-game hit streak.
Eric Davis hit a three-run homer, Pete Rose had three hits and drove in a pair of runs and Mario Soto pitched a six-hitter for Cincinnati as the Red thumped the San Francisco Giants, 7–3. Soto (15–7) recorded his sixth straight victory over the Giants since last year despite allowing a three-run homer in the sixth to Chili Davis to give San Francisco a 3–2 lead. The Reds rallied for two runs in the bottom of the inning, with Soto’s single driving in the run that made a loser of the reliever Randy Lerch (5–3). The Reds loaded the bases with none out in the sixth on the second error of the game by the shortstop Johnny LeMaster and a pair of walks by Lerch. Ron Oester grounded into a force play to drive in one run and Soto delivered his run-scoring single with two outs.
Dale Murphy drove in four runs with a triple and his 32nd home run of the season to lead the Atlant Braves over the Houston Astros, 6–4. Murphy has now hit 10 home runs this season off the Astros’ pitching staff, including four off the starter Bob Knepper. Rick Mahler (10–9) went the first six innings for the victory, with Gene Garber hurling the final three innings for his eighth save. Julio Solano (1–3) took the loss in relief. The Braves took a 2–0 lead in the first off Knepper when Rafael Ramirez rapped a one-out single and one out later Murphy slammed a home run into the left-center-field seats. Atlanta opened a 4–0 lead in the third on Murphy’s triple.
Fernando Valenzuela pitched a six-hitter and hit a two-run homer to pace the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5–2 win in San Diego. The Padres, despite the loss, remained 9½ games ahead of second- place Houston and dropped their magic number for clinching the National League West to nine. Valenzuela, after giving up two runs in the first inning, settled down and allowed only four hits the rest of the way in raising his record to 12–15. He struck out four and walked one. Ed Whitson (13–8) started for San Diego and was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth after allowing three runs on three hits. In the Los Angeles fifth, Mike Marshall and Mike Scioscia singled and German Rivera hit a sacrifice fly to score Marshall. Valenzuela then hit his third homer of the season.
