The expansion of the European Economic Community to include Spain and Portugal comes at a time of deep doubt and discomfort among many Europeans about the Community itself. The mood is summed up by the vogue term “Euro-pessimism,” reflecting the view common among many officials and ordinary Europeans that Europe is falling increasingly far behind in competition with the United States and Japan. Also lying behind the pessimism is a growing belief, arising from the deep divisions within the Community in the last decade, that the organization is not the vehicle of European rebirth dreamed of by its founders – that it has fostered a modest degree of economic cooperation but is not capable of bringing about a genuine “United States of Europe,” a once common term that is rarely heard today. As a result, as Portugal prepares to ratify the entry treaty next week — Spain will do so later this year, and the two countries are expected to become the 11th and 12th members of the Community on January 1 — two moods seem to be at war with each other. One is the hope that the inclusion of two new democracies, both of which were dictatorships isolated from the rest of Europe well into the 1970’s, will energize the whole, open up new vistas for it, and give it greater standing as a force in world politics and as an arena of shared democratic values.
Nottinghamshire coal miners, who work in the second largest field in Britain, broke away from the National Union of Mineworkers. The decision of the 28,000 miners in central England to leave the union, in protest against rule changes which make leftist leader Arthur Scargill president for life, could signal the breakup of the 143-year-old union. “The men at this conference will not bend their knees at the altar of Arthur Scargill,” Nottinghamshire union treasurer David Prendergast said in announcing the 228–20 vote to break away and form a new union.
The Observer, Britain’s oldest Sunday newspaper, said today that it had been charged with corruption for buying documents from a senior Defense Ministry official. It is believed to be the first time such a charge, brought under a 79-year-old Prevention of Corruption Act, has been brought against a newspaper. An official, Raymond Williams, 38 years old, was jailed for six months last January for selling the documents, which revealed waste and inefficiency in military spending. He was paid $2,000 by the paper, which the prosecution at Mr. Williams’s trial accused of a shabby act of “checkbook journalism.”
The police said today that Protestants could march through a Catholic neighborhood of the Nothern Ireland market town of Portadown Sunday despite a British order banning parades likely to incite violence. Angry Catholic leaders charged that the police, who made the decision after secret talks with Protestant officials over the last 48 hours, had backed down in the face of threats. About 1,000 policemen and soldiers are expected in Portadown, 40 miles west of Belfast, to protect the marchers from attack by Catholic residents, police sources said. A police statement announcing permission for the march said Protestants would still be barred from taking the same route on July 12-13, their two main marching days.
The Kremlin has replaced the Minister of Light Industry and the Minister of Ferrous Metallurgy, according to the official press agency Tass. Vladimir G. Klyuyev, 60 years old, will replace Nikolai N. Tarasov, 73, as head of the Light Industry Ministry, which is responsible for producing consumer goods, Tass said today. On Friday Tass said Ivan P. Kazanets, 67, who had been Minister of Ferrous Metallurgy since 1965, retired “for reasons of health.” He was replaced by Serafim V. Kolpakov, who had been a First Deputy Minister of Ferrous Metallurgy since 1981.
OPEC oil ministers failed to agree on measures to bolster world prices and stem the oil price slide. Meanwhile Mexico warned that it might cut its oil prices if the cartel did not reach a solution. Indonesia’s Oil Minister Subroto, chairman of the OPEC meeting, said he had asked ministers to return to the talks to suggest “immediate steps” they could take to defend its price structure and its share of the world market.
The Egyptian Government, in a distinct shift of policy, has started a campaign to stem the growth of Islamic fundamentalist forces here. Until recently, the Government of President Hosni Mubarak had avoided open confrontation with the fundamentalists. Signs of what one senior official called the Government’s new “firmness” reportedly reflect Egyptian concern about the growth of Islamic extremism not only in Egypt but also in Lebanon and throughout the region. “A clear message is being sent to fundamentalists,” a senior Egyptian official said. “Egypt will continue to pursue democracy, to foster freer expression and debate, but there are limits beyond which no one will be permitted to go.”
Libya and Morocco took a step closer to formal union by setting up a joint legislature. The assembly, comprising 60 members from each country’s Parliament, met in the Moroccan Parliament building and began working out procedures leading to the election of officers. Formation of the assembly was one element in the Arab-African Union Treaty signed by the two countries last August.
The chief minister of India’s troubled Gujarat state resigned after months of religious and class bloodshed set in motion by a decision to open more places in universities and more good jobs to lowcaste Hindus and untouchables. Madhavsinh Solanki quit “under pressure” from his ruling Congress-I Party, his spokesman said. Demands for his resignation had mounted as police and paramilitary troops failed to quell riots that crippled the west Indian state’s economy.
Shia Muslims in Pakistan, demanding enforcement of their religious code of law, battled police in the southwestern city of Quetta in a clash that left at least five people dead, officials said. They added that two police officers were among those killed in the capital of Baluchistan province, near the borders with Afghanistan and Iran. The Shias, a minority in Pakistan, are demanding that the government enforce their code of Islamic law, which differs from that of the majority Sunni Muslims.
Tamil separatists put aside a threatened boycott and agreed to send representatives to discuss peace with the Sri Lankan government in the capital of Himalayan Bhutan, rebel sources said. However, both the Sinhalese-dominated government of President Junius R. Jayewardene and the secessionists say the talks, which begin Monday, are unlikely to make much progress toward ending bloody ethnic strife on the island once known as Ceylon.
Vietnam has offered to hold high-level talks with the United States to resolve questions within two years on Americans missing in action, State Department officials said today. The Hanoi offer, conveyed by Foreign Minister Mochtar Kusumaatmadja of Indonesia four days ago, has received a skeptical response from some Administration officials, who regard it as a possible Hanoi maneuver to deflect attention from repeated criticism of its occupation of Cambodia. There was also strong suspicion voiced by some officials that the offer was made at this time, virtually on the eve of the annual meeting of the chief non-Communist nations of Southeast Asia, to make Hanoi appear conciliatory, after months of being condemned for its military activity along the Thai-Cambodian border. Nevertheless, the Administration said it would study the offer to see if it represented a sincere desire by Vietnam to end the continuing problem of the more than 2,400 Americans still listed as missing in action in Indochina, of which some 1,375 are believed to be missing in Vietnam.
Mexico’s democracy, which for 56 years has largely served to ratify the ruling party and its policies, will be tested Sunday in nationwide elections. At immediate stake are the governorships of seven states, 300 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Congress, and hundreds of state legislative and municipal ofices. But more broadly in question is the ability of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party and the administration of President Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado to claim near universal support for their management of the Mexican economy and society. Although few offices are expected to go to opposition parties, even a small gain would be viewed as significant here. The ruling party now holds every governorship, and has done so since its founding in 1929. It also holds 299 of the 300 elected seats in the Chamber of Deputies and all but a handful of municipal and state offices.
The senior military commander of the Salvadoran rebel movement vowed today that the guerrillas would carry their attacks to the capital of San Salvador and spread the war to every part of the country. He said the new attacks would make El Salvador ungovernable within the next year. The commander, Joaquin Villalobos, added in an interview with a group of American reporters that the rebels now considered the Reagan Administration their principal enemy for having supported the Salvadoran Army and Government. He and other rebel commanders defended the rebels’ decision to kill four United States marines here two weeks ago and indicated that American military officials would continue to be attacked.
Josef Mengele’s son has preserved significant copyrights to his father’s papers and is negotiating to sell them for almost half a million dollars, according to sources close to Rolf Mengele, the son. Rolf Mengele, who last month gave a West German magazine some 30 pounds of material on his father’s life in South America after World War II, let the publication have magazine rights to the material, but kept for himself the potentially far more lucrative book, film and television rights.
A Communist guerrilla group, charging that the Mormon Church is part of the U.S. intelligence network, claimed responsibility from bomb attacks on six church chapels in Santiago and three other cities in Chile. The claim was made in a telephone call to United Press International by a man who said he was a spokesman for the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front. Craig Hill, controller of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile, said the blasts shattered windows and damaged doorways but caused no casualties.
A United Nations agency dealing with Africa’s famine said Friday that the crisis was over in 8 of the 21 nations that faced exceptional food supply problems in 1984-85. But it said the emergency remained acute in five countries.
The Government of Guinea said today that several present or former government officials had been arrested in connection with a coup attempt but that the leader of the plot was still at large. Fifteen people were killed and about 100 wounded in the uprising on Thursday, Captain Jean Traore, the Minister of Planning and Natural Resources, said today at a news conference. The rebellion was crushed on Friday by troops loyal to President Lansana Conte. Colonel Diarra Traore, the former Prime Minister who led the coup attempt, is still being sought, the Planning Minister said, contradicting earlier reports of his arrest.
Robert G. Mugabe’s party gained an overwhelming victory in Zimbabwe’s first general election since independence. The Prime Minister’s party won 63 of the 80 seats reserved for blacks in the 100-member Parliament. Mr. Mugabe indicated that he saw the victory as a mandate to dismantle Zimbabwe’s British-drafted Constitution. Prime Minister Robert Mugabe, fresh from triumph in Zimbabwe’s general elections, vowed to immediately scrap the 20 seats reserved for whites in the country’s Parliament. He also told chief opposition leader Joshua Nkomo, whom he accuses of fomenting rebels, to stop their activities or risk having his party banned. In final results, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Union won 63 of 79 black seats being contested, with 15 going to Nkomo’s Ndebele-dominated party. One seat went to the small opposition party of the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole.
Judges and civil rights lawyers from South Africa and the United States gathered in Washington today to discuss South Africa’s policies of strict racial separation and to devise a legal strategy for combating them. Meeting at the American Bar Association’s annual convention, leaders of South Africa’s small civil liberties bar described the legal apparatus of racial separation, known as apartheid, and told of their attempts, despite harassments, banning orders and other impediments, to soften its harshest features. Those efforts, they said, have been severely handicapped by the character of the South African system, where the supremacy of Parliament over the courts and the abolition of jury trials left them little maneuvering room. Nevertheless, they said, they have coaxed some measure of change out of the courts. And even in its imperfect state, they maintained, the court system may be all that separates South Africa from racial warfare.
President Reagan makes a Radio Address to the Nation on the federal budget. President Reagan, appealing for support for his own budget plan, called on voters Saturday to urge Congress to reject the “budgetary assault on national security” passed by the Democratic-controlled House and back the “responsible and fair” plan approved by the Republicanrun Senate. Reagan’s plea, made during his weekly radio address, was part of an Administration effort to get Congress to reach a budget settlement acceptable to the White House when it returns this week from its Independence Day recess. Both houses of Congress approved plans last month to trim spending in fiscal 1986 by about $56 billion, but the plans follow different routes. The Senate would shave domestic programs and block scheduled Social Security cost-of-living adjustments while permitting a 4% rise in defense spending to compensate for inflation. The House would freeze military spending at current levels but would not change the Social Security increases.
President Reagan speaks with flight attendant Ulrike Derickson from the recently hijacked TWA flight.
For the first time in several years, the states have enacted a larger overall amount in tax cuts than tax increases. A number of legislatures have rolled back emergency taxes imposed in the recent recession. The wave of tax cuts was confined mostly to states in the Northeast and Middle West. Fifteen states reduced taxes by a total of $2 billion, while 23 others, most of them in the Southern and Central part of the country, increased state taxes by a total of $1.3 billion to meet constituent demands for services. Budget surpluses in many states have pushed them into a new stage in which they could decide to cut taxes. But even with the net reduction of $700 million in state taxes across the nation, these taxes remain substantially higher than before the 1981-83 recession and before the Federal Government began cutting its grants to state and local governments in 1980.
Perhaps no hijacking gripped the the attention of the American public as the seizure of T.W.A. Flight 847. Though much is already known about the incident, extensive interviews with freed hostages disclose vivid and details about the hijacking and the captivity that followed. Jerome Barczak thought he was in luck. The 52-year-old engineer’s flight from Athens to New York had been canceled, but Trans World Airlines said that if he hurried he could catch Flight 847 to Rome, with a connection to New York. T.W.A. even delayed Flight 847 for him, whisking him in a car to the taxiing jet, where he settled into the last available seat. But Mr. Barczak and the other 142 passengers did not turn out to be lucky. Within 20 minutes after the Boeing 727 lifted off they found themselves caught in a terrifying hijacking that was to carry them on a zigzagging three-day odyssey from Beirut to Algiers to Beirut to Algiers and back to Beirut, where 39 Americans were held hostage for two more weeks.
The fugitive wanted in connection with the discoveries of bodies, weapons and torture videotapes at a remote California cabin was arrested today in Canada, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said. Robert S. Gast, a bureau agent in San Francisco, said the man, Charles Chitat Ng, was arrested in Calgary, Alberta, where officials said he had tried to steal food from a supermarket and had shot a security guard in the hand. Mr. Ng. was identified through fingerprints and identification he was carrying, the bureau said. Mr. Ng, 24 years old, has been sought for a month in connection with the discovery of skeletal remains at a rural cabin in Calaveras County that was occupied by Leonard T. Lake, who died last month. The police are investigating whether the two men were linked to the disappearance or deaths of about two dozen people. The remains of at least nine bodies have been found at the cabin along with several bags of bones. Also found at the cabin were videotapes depicting women being tortured.
Wage and benefit concessions were overwhelmingly approved by United Auto Workers members voting on a new three-year contract at an American Motors Corp. parts distribution center and a metal stamping plant in Milwaukee. The agreement reportedly involves reducing the average assembly worker’s pay by 61 cents an hour, to $12.95, reducing the time spent on lunch breaks and eliminating nine paid vacation days. AMC, 46% owned by the French automaker Renault, had said it would close the Wisconsin plants if workers did not approve the concessions. Fewer sales as U.S. consumers switch to larger cars have been blamed for AMC’s $29-million loss in the first quarter.
Many commercial airline pilots in the United States have a drinking problem but cannot face up to it, two recovered alcoholic airline pilots told a Montreal workshop sponsored by Alcoholics Anonymous. Pilots Grant B. and Ron D., both of Chicago, said they believe the macho self-images of pilots often prevent them from seeking help. Grant, 43, a pilot for 22 years with one of the largest U.S. airlines, estimated that about 10% of the 30,000 commercial pilots in the United States have a drinking problem. Ron, 52, who has been with another large American airline for 31 years, said irregular working hours allow pilots to camouflage their drinking problems.
More farmers than expected have obtained the credit they needed to continue farming for another year, according to several indicators. Some farm experts warn, however, that the situation masks deepening financial problems both for troubled farmers and for bankers who have continued to advance credit after earlier suggestions that they would not.
Thousands welcomed home the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus, in festivities in Groton, Connecticut, where the submarine will become part of a national museum. The Nautilus, its atomic core removed in 1980 when it was decommissioned, was towed to Groton from Mare Island Naval Shipyard near San Francisco, a voyage that began last May. The vessel, launched in nearby New London in 1954, will be prepared for a berth as the centerpiece of an $8-million museum and library, opening in April, 1986, dedicated to the history of submarines.
Almost all of Utah was blacked out when lightning struck a power substation that exploded in a bright orange fireball, sending a huge cloud of black smoke 100 feet into the air. More than 1 million persons in Salt Lake City, Ogden and St. George, in the southwestern part of the state, were without power. A witness said the fire at the substation, about a mile from Salt Lake City International Airport, was accompanied by about six other fires in the Salt Lake Valley, apparently triggered by a lengthy storm.
The First National Bank of Jacksonville, Alabama, was declared insolvent due to “fraud-major defalcation,” a federal bank official said. The closure was ordered by Michael Patriaca, the Treasury Department’s deputy comptroller of currency, who cited “fraudulent loans” and bad management, said David R. Bufton, spokesman for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. AmSouth Bancorporation bought the assets of the bank, which will reopen Monday as AmSouth Bank of Jacksonville. It was the 54th bank to fail in the nation this year.
Bert Lance resigned from his position as Georgia Democratic Party chairman. Mr. Lance, the former federal budget director who is chairman of the Calhoun First National Bank, leaves the post in the midst of an investigation into allegations that he engaged in unsound banking practices. According to Wayne Reece, a lawyer for the party, Mr. Lance wrote the members of its executive committee July 3 that he had submitted his resignation to Governor Joe Frank Harris, the titular head of the state’s party. Mr. Reece said Mr. Lance wrote that his problems with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which investigated his banking practices, “should be my fight and not the party’s.” Mr. Lance wrote that he had been abused and harassed by the agency, Mr. Reece said. Mr. Lance could not be reached for comment.
Five West Virginia men were accused Friday of the rape and abduction of a New York woman who the police said escaped after six hours. The 23-year-old woman, who married and moved to Beckley, West Vrginia recently, was abducted Tuesday night while making a telephone call outside a closed convenience store, the police said.
Moist fog and calming winds yesterday aided firefighters trying to contain brush fires that have blackened more than 200,000 acres of canyons and hillsides in 10 Western states.
The remains of 13 U.S. servicemen killed in a 1972 plane crash in Laos will remain in an Oakland military depot until a U.S. judge hears one widow’s request to have the remains examined by a forensic pathologist. Ann Hart of Pensacola, Fla., maintained that officials may not have made positive identifications. The bodies were identified by the Army’s Central Identification Laboratory in Honolulu. The remains were recovered by a joint U.S.-Laotian team and represent the largest group of missing servicemen returned since the Vietnam War ended 10 years ago, an Air Force spokesman said.
Scientists are hopeful that new studies showing narcolepsy to be genetically transmitted may lead to a cure for the sleep disorder that afflicts 250,000 Americans. The neurological disorder causes its victims to lose control over when they sleep and can result in hallucinations. Dr. William Dement, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Stanford University, said that research in several countries has shown that defective genes are present in the blood of patients with narcolepsy. It is hoped that the disease eventually can be prevented or cured by replacing the defective genes.
With a night of rest to refresh him, Boris Becker returned to Centre Court today to continue the pursuit of a championship his opponents have said he cannot win. And once again the 17-year-old West German was like rolling thunder, overpowering Anders Jarryd in the completion of their semifinal match and becoming the youngest player to reach the men’s final at Wimbledon. Becker defeated Jarryd, seeded fifth, 2-6, 7-6, 6-3, 6-3, and will face Kevin Curren in the final Sunday.
Wimbledon Women’s Tennis: Martina Navratilova beats Chris Evert 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 for her 6th Wimbledon singles title. If it was not her best, Miss Navratilova came close. She survived a shaky start to defeat Mrs. Lloyd, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, today, thus winning her sixth Wimbledon singles championship and fourth in a row. It also was the fifth time in five attempts that she has defeated Mrs. Lloyd in the Wimbledon final, a noteworthy accomplishment given the nature of their rivalry and Mrs. Lloyd’s popularity among the fans here. “This was my most satisfying win,” Miss Navratilova said. “I’ve lost three matches this year and everyone said I was going downhill. Every year, there is more pressure. Every year, there is so much to prove. Six isn’t enough.”
Major League Baseball:
The Red Sox downed the Angels, 7–5. Mike Easler cracked a two-run triple in the seventh inning, capping a Boston comeback over California. The Angels, who were ahead 5–1 after five innings, led 5–4 when Stewart Cliburn began the seventh in relief by hitting Dwight Evans with a pitch. Evans was forced on Wade Boggs’s grounder, but Bill Buckner’s single chased Cliburn (3–2). Easler greeted the reliever Donnie Moore with a drive into the right-field corner, giving Boston a 6–5 lead. The Red Sox added an insurance run in the eighth when Steve Lyons singled, took second on Moore’s wild pitch and scored on a single by Dwight Evans, the 800th run batted in of his career. Bob Stanley (4–4) went the last four innings for the victory. Reggie Jackson hit a two-run homer in the fifth. It was Jackson’s 12th home run of the season. Rod Carew had three hits for California, raising his career total to 2,977.
In Kansas City, the Orioles score 7 runs in the 5th and beat the Royals, 8–3. Fred Lynn’s opposite-field, grand-slam home run cleared the fence by inches, capping the seven-run outburst in the fifth inning that powered Baltimore over Kansas City. The homer came off Joe Beckwith, who had relieved Danny Jackson and issued an intentional walk to Eddie Murray to load the bases. Lynn has a single, triple and grand slam for the O’s. Scott McGregor (7–7) pitches 8 ⅔ innings for his 7th win.
Don Sutton scattered five hits over eight innings for his 288th career victory, and Carney Lansford scored three runs and doubled home another today to lead the Oakland A’s over the error-plagued Toronto Blue Jays, 5–1. Sutton (8–5) allowed no walks and struck out four for his fifth straight victory. The right-hander has not lost a game since May 22. Steve Ontiveros pitched a hitless ninth.
The White Sox edged the Indians, 6–4. The pinch-hitter Luis Salazar got credit for a run-scoring double when his pop-up to short right field was misjudged by the Cleveland second baseman Mike Fischlin. The hit snapped a 10th-inning tie and led Chicago to the victory. The Cleveland reliever Rich Thompson (2–3) hit Tom Paciorek with a pitch to open the inning. The pinch-runner Julio Cruz took second on Tim Hulett’s sacrifice bunt before Jamie Easterly was brought in to face Ozzie Guillen. After Easterly threw a wild pitch, allowing Cruz to move to third, Salazar batted for Guillen. Salazar’s double, which landed 10 feet beyond the infield dirt, scored Cruz. Salazar then stole third and scored on Rudy Law’s single.
Lance Parrish hit a two-out, two-run home run in the seventh inning to power Detroit over Texas by a score of 4–3. Randy O’Neal (5–1) allowed four hits in 6 ⅓ innings for the win. Willie Hernandez, who surrendered four hits, finished the game to earn his 17th save. Dave Rozema (3–6) took the loss in relief of starter Glen Cook, who went the first six innings, giving up two runs on six hits. The Rangers played the game under protest.
At Seattle, Phil Bradley hit a solo home run leading off the eighth inning to snap a tie and lift the Mariners to their fourth straight victory, winning 5–3 over the Brewers. Bradley took Pete Vuckovich. (3–6) to the opposite field, belting his second pitch over the right field wall for his 12th home run of the season. The Mariners have won 13 of their last 15 games. The Brewers have lost four straight. Roy Thomas (4–0) Seattle’s third pitcher, got the victory. He came in with one out in the eighth and got last-out relief help from Brian Snyder, who picked up his first save.
Ken Landreaux hit two home runs, including the Dodgers’ first inside-the-park home run in six years, and Pedro Guerrero also homered, doubled and singled today to power Los Angeles over the St. Louis Cardinals, 8–3. Bob Welch (2–1) survived an error-strewn fifth inning and pitched a six-hitter in his first complete game of the season. The Dodgers struck quickly, scoring three times in the first inning after Kurt Kepshire (5–6) retired the leadoff batter. Mariano Duncan followed with his fourth bunt double of the year, a ball the Cardinals let roll while Duncan raced to second. Landreaux then hit a ball that bounced over the head of the charging Andy Van Slyke in right field and went to the wall for a home run. The inside-the-park homer was the first for the Dodgers since Davey Lopes’s on July 23, 1979. Scioscia doubled home a run later in the first.
At Pittsburgh, a two-out infield single by Marvell Wynne plates the winning run as the Pirates sink the Padres, 8–7. With two out, Khalifa singled off Craig Lefferts (4–4) and took third on pinch-hitter Sixto Lezcano’s single to left. Lezcano took second on the left fielder Carmelo Martinez’s throw. Wynne grounded to short and beat Garry Templeton’s throw to score Khalifa and make a winner of John Candelaria (2–3). Steve Kemp homers for Pittsburgh, and would’ve added a single but is thrown out at first base in the 7th by right fielder Tony Gwynn in a 9-3 putout.
At the Astrodome, the Expos Tim Wallach hits a grand slam off Nolan Ryan as Montreal scores 6 runs in 4 innings to drive him from the mound. But the Astros rally to win, 8–7. Dickie Thon hit his first homer this year and doubled in the sixth inning to break a 6–6 tie and lead Houston over Montreal. Jeff Calhoun (1–1) gained his first major-league victory in relief of Ryan. Ryan left after Wallach’s grand slam. He struck out three batters to raise his career major-league strikeout record to 3,993. Gary Lucas (3–1) was the loser.
Chris Brown’s second homer of the game, a leadoff blast that broke a ninth-inning tie, gave San Francisco its fourth consecutive victory, as the Giants beat the Cubs, 6–4. The triumph gave the Giants their longest winning streak of the season. Chicago has lost three straight. Brown broke a 4–4 tie with his eighth home run of the season on a 2-and-2 pitch from Chicago’s ace reliever, Lee Smith (4–3). Scott Garrelts (4–3) pitched three innings of one-hit relief for the victory. Mark Davis got the final out for his fifth save. Chicago scored twice in the first inning. Ryne Sandberg singled with one out in the first, extending his hitting streak to 18 games, the longest in the majors this season, and Leon Durham hit a two-out home run, his eighth. Sandberg’s hitting streak matched his personal high, set in 1984, and exceeded the league highs set earlier this season by Cincinnati’s Dave Parker and Dave Concepcion.
The Reds topped the Phillies, 4–2. Pete Rose singled home a run and scored twice, Dave Parker drove in two runs and the Cincinnati Reds broke their four-game losing streak. The game was delayed by rain in the ninth inning for an hour and 13 minutes. Don Robinson (4–0) John Franco and Ted Power combined to hold Philadelphia to eight hits. Robinson, making his first start of the season after 14 relief appearances, gave up five hits in six innings, struck out seven and did not walk a batter. Rose went 1 for 3, giving him 4,155 hits, 37 away from breaking Ty Cobb’s all-time mark.
