The Soviet Union has agreed for the first time to hold high-level talks with the United States on their differences over Indochina, Korea and other areas of potential trouble in the Far East, State Department officials said today. They said that Paul D. Wolfowitz, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, would lead a three-member delegation to Moscow for discussions next Thursday and Friday with Mikhail S. Kapitsa, the Deputy Foreign Minister in charge of Asian affairs, and other experts. The Reagan Administration has been seeking full-scale talks on Asia with the Russians since 1981, officials said, because of the continued tensions in Indochina due to the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia. The occupation is backed by military, economic and political help from Moscow.
Norwegians are to vote Sunday and Monday on who will lead them for the next four years, and polls indicate the Conservative-led coalition Government of Kaare Willoch and the Socialist coalition dominated by the Labor Party are in a close race. The future of Norway’s welfare state and the firmness of the nation’s commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization have emerged as the major issues in the campaign. The campaign has reflected the continued drift of Norwegians into the two main parties, sharpening the ideological choice facing the voters. The voting comes one week before national elections in neighboring Sweden, where that nation’s ruling Social Democrats and the growing Conservative Party are confronting voters with an even starker contrast.
Reagan Administration officials have concluded that recent disclosures of West Germans spying for East Germany are very costly to West German intelligence operations but will not seriously hurt American intelligence activities. At the same time, the officials acknowledged that the exposures gave an accurate and unsettling look into the amount of Soviet espionage in Western Europe and raised embarrassing questions about sharing information with allies, questions the Administration would sooner not have to answer. The officials said the Central Intelligence Agency had always assumed that West Germany, more so than other Western European countries, was significantly infiltrated by East German and Soviet agents. Accordingly, the officials maintained that American intelligence shared with Bonn was given in pieces that did not include information about American agents and their sources and methods.
An American boy’s bar mitvah was celebrated by what remains of the once-flourishing Jewish community in Kraków, Poland, and was the first there in more than 20 years. The event was sponsored by American Jews who were asked by the leader of Kraków’s Jewish community, which was decimated by the Holocaust, to send a bar mitzvah.
President Reagan makes a radio address to the nation on U.S. International Trade. Moves against key trading partners for “unfair trading practices” were ordered by President Reagan. The United States Trade Representative, Clayton Yeugetter, was told to “begin proceedings” against Japan, South Korea, Brazil and the European Economic Community. The action was announced by Mr. Reagan in his weekly radio speech.
Thousands of Israeli troops and paramilitary personnel were deployed in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip territories in an attempt to stem escalating violence between Arabs and Jews. Israel radio said the added military effort will include spot checks at roadblocks and more frequent patrols of heavily populated areas. Armed Jewish settlers also patrolled Gaza, complaining that the army’s protection has been insufficient. The added security followed a series of Arab attacks on Israelis and subsequent retaliation by Israeli militants. Six Israelis have been killed.
The Soviet Union has begun a new campaign to increase its influence among Palestinians and encourage them to reject American-sponsored efforts to revive Arab-Israeli peace talks, according to senior Palestinian leaders who have recently returned from Moscow. In meetings last month with senior representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization, including a close aide of Yasir Arafat, and in meetings with rival Syrian-backed Palestinian groups, Soviet leaders expressed “total opposition” to the accord signed by the P.L.O. and Jordan on Feb. 11, Palestinians from both groups said. The accord outlines the principles of a joint P.L.O.-Jordanian effort to seek peace with Israel. It calls for an international peace conference, sponsored by the United States and the Soviet Union, and the creation of a Palestinian state federated with Jordan on land now occupied by Israel.
Lebanese Premier Rashid Karami called for Syrian troops to impose order in West Beirut after the latest outbreak of militia fighting in the capital’s Muslim sector. Karami told reporters, “I see no other force… but the Syrian army” able to end the fighting between Shia Muslim and Druze militias. In other violence in the Beirut area, meanwhile, Shia militiamen traded gunfire with Palestinian guerrillas in the besieged Borj el Brajne refugee camp. Artillery shells crashed into residential areas on both sides of the so-called Green Line during large-scale exchanges between Christian militiamen and army units on the one side and Muslim fighters on the other. The police said shells that slammed into the Muslim quarter of Basta injured several civilians and caused several fires. The Christian Voice of Lebanon radio reported fires caused by bombs and shells in the Christian residential area of Sin al-Fil.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak swore in a new prime minister with strong financial expertise, in an apparent attempt to deal with the nation’s rising prices and sluggish growth. Ali Lutfi, 49, a former finance minister and economics professor, replaced Kamal Hassan Ali, who left office last week after 14 months in office.
Iraq said today that its warplanes raided the Iranian oil terminal at Kharg Island twice in the last 24 hours and hit a “large naval target” in the Persian Gulf. Iraq generally uses the term to refer to an oil tanker or merchant ship. Military spokesman said Iraqi jets attacked the northern Gulf oil terminal Friday night and again today, dropping four tons of explosives in each raid. A spokesman also said Iraqi warplanes hit a “naval target” near the Iranian coast today at the same time as the raid on Kharg. He gave no further details and there was no immediate independent confirmation of an attack on shipping. All the aircraft involved in the three actions returned safely to base, the spokesman said. The latest raids on Kharg were aimed at hindering Iranian efforts to repair damage and extinguish fires caused in a wave of attacks that began August 15, the spokesman said. The attack today was the seventh.
The official Afghan radio said today that rebels had shot down an Afghan airliner with a United States-made ground-to-air missile as it took off from the Kandahar airport in southern Afghanistan, killing all 52 people aboard. Afghan guerrilla groups based in Pakistan said they did not know about the report, The Associated Press reported. “We know nothing of this,” said one senior guerrilla official. “We will have to check.” The radio, monitored in Islamabad, said the plane of the domestic Bakhtar Afghan Airlines was shot down Wednesday during a flight from the capital, Kabul, to the western province of Farah, bordering Iran.
The Indian Government moved this week to strengthen its paramilitary forces in the Punjab amid rising fears of further bombings and killings by Sikh extremists before the state elections later this month. Arjun Singh, the Governor of Punjab, said today that 85,000 special police troops would soon be sent to the state from other areas across the country. In addition, more than 500 people were arrested in the Punjab this week as a preventive measure, the Government said.
Japanese aviation officials expressed surprise at a statement by Boeing Co. that the Japan Air Lines Boeing 747 that crashed last month, killing 520 people, was improperly repaired by Boeing workers after an accident in 1978. Hiroaki Kono, head of JAL’s maintenance division, told reporters that following the Boeing repairs, the airline did not check the repaired spots in detail. The repaired areas included the rear pressure bulkhead, the part that is suspected of having failed before the August 12 crash.
A gunman shot the mayor of a northern Philippine town, in the back before hundreds of people watching a beauty pageant in the plaza, the Philippine News Agency reported today. The news agency said Mayor Westrimundo Tabayoyong of Laoac, 105 miles northwest of Manila, was dead on arrival at a hospital shortly after the shooting, which occurred late Friday night. Doctors said he had been shot through the heart. The news agency said the police have not established the motive for the killing and the gunman escaped in confusion that followed the shooting. Mr. Tabayoyong was the fifth mayor killed in the country since July. The previous killings were blamed by the authorities on guerrillas of the Communist New People’s Army, who operate in virtually all of the Philippines’ 73 provinces.
President Reagan speaks with Prime Minister of Canada Brian Mulroney to discuss the Strategic Defense Initiative. Canada will not formally take part in the research phase of President Reagan’s space-based missile defense plan, but does not oppose it, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said today. He said that while the Government was rejecting the American invitation, private Canadian companies would be free to bid on research contracts in the plan, officially designated the Strategic Defense Initiative and popularly known as “Star Wars.” “After careful and detailed consideration, the Government of Canada has concluded that Canada’s own policies and priorities do not warrant a government-to-government effort in support of S.D.I. research,” Mr. Mulroney told reporters. He spoke with them after a daylong meeting of legislators of his Progressive Conservative Party.
Businessmen’s Day celebrations in Nicaragua were called off after seven business leaders, all prominent critics of the left-wing Sandinista government, were called in and questioned by security agents for more than two hours. Enrique Bolanos, president of the Supreme Private Enterprise Council, told reporters that Lenin Cerna, state security chief, demanded that the celebrations be canceled. Bolanos contended that the move reflects the government’s “determination to destroy the private sector.”
Buses resumed service today, and the capital of Guatemala City was calmer than it has been since anti-Government protests broke out 10 days ago. Police surveillance helicopters continued to fly over the capital, however. The police withdrew from two high schools they occupied last week. The University of San Carlos, which was occupied for a day and a half by soldiers, was preparing to resume classes. Members of the Constituent Assembly, who met Friday with the chief of state, General Oscar Mejia Victores, said he was accompanied by his top military commanders at the session. “They seemed to be solidly united behind him,” said one legislator.
The Chilean Government arrested 64 people today, including middle-level political and union leaders, according to the police. Other people were visited early in the morning by Government forces and were summoned to appear before a judge on charges that they had incited violence during anti-Government protests this week in which 10 people were killed. The Government has said 97 people will be investigated for their roles in planning and organizing “acts of violence.” No specific charges have been filed against those arrested today.
Chadian guerrillas rebelled against their Libyan allies controlling the northern town of Faya-Largeau and hundreds were killed or wounded in the fighting, the Chad Information Ministry said, but a rebel spokesman in Paris denied the report. The ministry said the casualties occurred in fighting September 4 in Faya-Largeau. There were no further details of the battles and no independent confirmation. Faya-Largeau has been the main Libyan stronghold in northern Chad since rebels fighting the government of President Hissene Habre launched an offensive in 1983 with Libyan backing.
Mozambican and Zimbabwean forces demolished the command center of Mozambique’s main rebel group, the anti-communist Mozambique National Resistance, and killed hundreds of guerrillas, the Mozambique News Agency said. It said the attack occurred August 28, but the government’s announcement was delayed until Saturday, the 11th anniversary of the end of Mozambique’s successful war for independence from Portugal. The agency said that rebel leader Afonzo Dhlakama escaped from the center, code-named Casa Banana, on a motorbike.
A ban on selling gold krugerrands in the U.S. if permission is granted by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is expected to be announced Monday by President Reagan, Administration officials announced. This measure is one of several decided upon by the Reagan Administration in an effort to head off congressinally imposed sanctions against South Africa that would be more severe, the officials said.
Policemen and troops in armored trucks opened fire with tear gas, rubber bullets and shotguns in black townships near Cape Town late today after a funeral for 11 victims of recent racial violence, including a 2-month-old girl. The police said tonight that a black man was killed in the battle, but a police spokesman, Lieutenant Atti Loubsher, gave no information about other casualties or what had led to the police action. A resident who asked not to be identified said she saw a man with a gaping wound in his shoulder being taken away by the police.
Federal investigators, who are looking into the cause of jetliner crash in Milwaukee that killed all 31 people aboard, have found pieces of an engine on the runway used by the plane, a Federal official said tonight. The parts from a Pratt & Whitney JT8D engine, the type that was on the plane that crashed, were found under its flight path, said Jim Burnett, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. The Midwest Express DC-9 crashed and burned just after takeoff Friday from General Billy Mitchell Field here. This afternoon investigators also recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the DC-9. At a news conference tonight, however, it was emphasized that no definite link had been established between the engine parts found on the runway and the downed plane. Investigators were searching for other planes that might have shed those parts, and they said they would not be able to confirm that the parts were from that plane until they can take the engines apart.
A fire broke out at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, damaging electrical switches at Unit 1 but presenting no danger to plant workers, a spokesman said. Plant operators doused the fire in the relay room minutes after an alarm, the spokesman said. Unit 1 was undamaged when the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history crippled its twin in 1979. Although the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted permission to restart. the Unit 1 reactor, it has remained shut while the state and several groups appeal the ruling. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
A strike by members of nine unions over a contract dispute stopped publication at Philadelphia’s two daily newspapers. The unions represent 4,774 employees, who had been working at the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Daily News under the old contract for seven days while talks continued. Television stations, attempting to fill the void left by the strike, planned expanded news shows and special strike coverage while newsstands scrambled to satisfy readers by importing suburban and out-of-town papers. Management offered a package that would raise salaries and benefits 17% over three years, but the unions demanded increases of 38%.
A human heart replaced the artificial organ that had kept a 25-year old man alive for nine days at University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. Michael Drummond, the recipient, had been sustained by a Jarvik-7 artificial heart. The experimental operation to subsitute the human heart for the artificial one in Michael Drummond’s chest took 4 hours and 45 minutes at University Medical Center, which is affiliated with the University of Arizona. It was the first time the Jarvik-7 artificial heart had kept a patient alive until a transplant could be performed. Dr. Jack G. Copeland, the surgeon who implanted the artificial device and performed the transplant surgery, said he hoped use of the device would someday become a routine way of allowing people dying of heart disease to survive until a suitable human donor organ could be found. At 2 PM, Mr. Drummond was “in the process of waking up,” his blood pressure was normal at 112/60 and his new heart was pumping 112 times a minute. The heart rate was faster than usual but within the range his doctors said they were striving for at this time in his recovery.
The Boeing Company acknowledged Friday that it had made faulty rear-cabin repairs in 1978 on a Japan Air Lines Boeing 747 that crashed in Japan last month, killing 520 of the 524 people on board. But the company added that further analysis was needed “to determine whether this repair contributed to the accident.” It was the worst single-plane crash in history.
Flood damage in Flint, Michigan, was estimated at more than $10 million after torrential rain collapsed basement walls and swallowed cars. City crews slogged through standing water and cleaned up debris left by the city’s worst flood. The rain, which was more than a foot high in some areas, flooded 10,000 homes, 20% of the city’s residences, said William Ewing, city water and sewers director. No serious injuries were reported. The flooding was caused by overloaded storm sewers, no longer able to maintain discharge into the swollen river or its tributaries because of the “once-in-a-hundred-years” rainfall, he said.
The Veterans Administration has identified 87 doctors working at VA facilities who have licenses that have been revoked, suspended or restricted in some way. A VA spokeswoman said the agency has given administrators of its hospitals until September 20 to explain why the doctors are still working for the VA. The VA inspector general’s office referred the cases to the credentials committee, which will make a recommendation on each doctor to the VA’s chief medical director, Dr. John Ditzler. The commission has not ordered any doctors removed from the care of patients.
Fear of AIDS is leading communities around the nation to bar students with the disease from classrooms. AIDS with all its complex medical, emotional and ethical problems has reached classroom doors in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Florida, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia.
A special panel ruled that one of four New York City students afflicted with AIDS should be permitted to attend school when the new term starts Monday. The panel said two of the other children will receive instruction in hospitals where they are undergoing treatment. Parents of the fourth have been advised to seek an alternative to public school because “the confidentiality about the child’s illness has been broken.” The child who the panel ruled could attend school was diagnosed as having AIDS three years ago and since has attended nursery school, kindergarten and first grade, Health Commissioner Dr. David Sencer said. Sencer said the child’s AIDS has been in remission recently.
Police Detective Francis G. Kelly Jr. was suspended for one year without pay Friday on each of two department charges of using too much force and filing a false report in the arrest of a Chinese immigrant. Police Commissioner Francis M. Roache followed the recommendation of his hearing officer, John A. Gifford, Superintendent in Chief, in his decision, making the suspensions concurrent so Mr. Kelly could return to duty September 6, 1986.
Beetles are ravaging pine forests in Texas and Louisiana in the worst such infestation on record, according to forestry experts. The United States Forest Services says 600 million board feet of timber, enough to build 60,000 homes, already have been killed. So many trees have been felled in efforts at control that lumber mills in some areas are clogged to capacity, driving timber prices down.
Discovery of the Titanic’s wreck was incidental to the testing of a new underwater research craft. The expedition’s main objective was to test the Navy-financed device, a robot craft about the size of an automobile, that might soon be sent on missions whose secrecy would be mandated by national security.
Pornography poses a public health problem because of its psychological effects on rapists and child molesters, C. Everett Koop, the U.S. surgeon general, said in Chicago during the National Consultation on Pornography, a convention of anti-pornography activists. Koop said sexually explicit materials should be kept away from men who might be adversely affected by them, but he admitted that there is no way to identify the people. Koop said he did not advocate warning labels on pornographic publications.
Hurricane Pauline turned north today and moved away from the Hawaii Islands, but a potentially stronger, second hurricane could still threaten the islands, the National Weather Service said. Hurricane Rick was “a long way away, but headed this way,” Clarence Lee, a weather service spokesman, said. However, Hurricane Rick was not expected to be within 1,000 miles of the islands before Monday, and there was no way to make an accurate forecast of what the storm might do in that length of time, Mr. Lee said. The intensity of Rick was similar to that of Pauline, which had gusts to 105 miles an hour. But Mr. Lee said the new hurricane has the potential to pose a greater threat to the islands because it is on a more southerly track over warmer water and was less likely to weaken.
Mary Decker Tabb Slaney runs U.S. 3K female record (8:25.83).
U.S. Open Women’s Tennis: Hana Mandlíková beats Martina Navratilova, 7–6, 1–6, 7–6 for her first and only U.S. title. Mandlíková became the first woman since Tracy Austin to defeat both Evert and Navratilova in the same tournament when she stopped top-seeded Evert in the semifinals and then second-seeded Navratilova in the three-set final. The 23-year-old Czechoslovak, long known as one of the most enigmatic players in the game, completed 24 hours of brilliant tennis by upsetting second-seeded Martina Navratilova in three sets to win her first United States Open tennis championship. This victory in the final made her only the third woman, after Evert and Navratilova, to win Grand Slam titles on grass, clay and hard court.
Ivan Lendl has already had more opportunities than most players get. Now he will have yet another. Late this afternoon he will make his fourth consecutive appearance in the final of the United States Open — a Grand Slam of sorts — but this time he would like to win the championship he says he covets the most. So he will sleep late, he said, then begin watching tapes of his previous matches against John McEnroe, who will be vying for his fifth Open title.
Major League Baseball:
Mike Young singled through a five-man California infield with the bases loaded and no outs in the ninth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 4–3 victory over the California Angels. Don Aase (9–5) pitched two innings for the victory.
The Yankees, continuing their relentless pursuit of Toronto, pulled within a game and a half of the Blue Jays last night, coming from behind for the second game in a row to beat the Oakland A’s. Dave Winfield steals home with the winning run in the Yankees’ 3–2 win over the A’s. Following a pitchout in the 7th, Winfield gets hung up in a rundown but escapes to score. Don Mattingly tied the game in the sixth inning with a bases-empty homer off Tommy John. Ron Guidry, hit hard and occasionally sabotaged by poor fielding, survived nonetheless and collected his 18th victory, the most in the American League. John (4–7), the former Yankee, took the loss.
Kent Hrbek belted a two-run homer and Tom Bruanansky added a bases-empty homer today to back Mike Smithson’s six-hitter and send the Minnesota Twins to a 6–3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Smithson (14–11) struck out four and walked one en route to his fifth complete game. Minnesota jumped out to a 3–0 lead in the first off Dave Stieb (13–10), who saw his league-leading earned run average rise from 2.35 to 2.48. Roy Smalley singled and Hrbek hit his 18th homer. Brunansky drove the next pitch into the left-field bleachers for his 24th homer of the season.
Omar Moreno hit a three-run homer during a five-run sixth inning to lead Kansas City to its seventh straight victory, downing the Brewers, 7–4. The victory gave the Royals a 1 ½-game lead in the American League West over California — their largest margin of the season. Moreno, who had three hits and knocked in four runs, drove the second pitch from the reliever Bob Gibson high off the bullpen wall in right field, giving the Royals a 7–2 lead. Moreno, acquired by the Royals last week, is batting .615 with two homers and eight runs batted in during four games with the Royals.
Steve Crawford picked up his seventh and eighth saves of the season as Boston swept a doubleheader, 11–9 and 7–4. He came on in the first game to squelch an Indian uprising by striking out George Vuckovich with the bases loaded to end the game and save the victory for Bruce Kison (4–3). Crawford then worked the final one and one-third innings of the second game to preserve the victory for Al Nipper (8–10). Rich Gedman’s two-out, three-run homer in the eighth inning powered the Red Sox to victory in the opener. Glenn Hoffman hit a two-run homer and Bill Buckner, Wade Boggs and Tony Armas added triples as Boston won the second game.
The Seattle Mariners clobbered the Tigers, 12–5. Alvin Davis homered and drove in four runs and Gorman Thomas and Phil Bradley both hit three-run homers for Seattle. Chet Lemon drove in all five Tiger runs with a homer and a single. Davis and Thomas each delivered key hits during a five-run outburst in the fourth inning that gave the Mariners an 8–2 lead. Thomas’s blast in that inning, his 29th homer, tied the Seattle team record for home runs in a season set by Willie Horton in 1979. Lemon hit a three-run homer in the fifth to make the score 8–5, but the Mariners scored four times in the seventh.
The Chicago White Sox edged the Texas Rangers, 3–2. Carlton Fisk doubled in the tying run and later scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the eighth inning at Arlington, Texas. He also scored the White Sox’s first run after walking in the second.
Dave Parker’s second homer of the game, a 9th inning grand slam off Lee Smith, closes the gap but the Cubs prevail over the Reds, 9–7. Parker’s first homer is hit off Dennis Eckersley, who hits his first Major League homer. Ty Cobb got a reprieve this afternoon. Pete Rose went 0 for 4 and walked once in five times at bat at Wrigley Field. Rose, who had two hits Friday as the Reds beat the Cub, entered today’s game needing two hits to tie and three to break Cobb’s record of 4,191 career hits. Rose came to bat in the ninth inning with two on and two out and the Reds losing 9–3. It seemed that most of the announced crowd of 30,300 had not left the ball park in the 97-degree weather, hoping to see the 44-year-old first baseman get at least one more hit in this, the last stretch of a 23-year pursuit.
Ken Oberkfell had two hits and drove in the winning run to give Steve Bedrosian and the Atlanta Braves to a 3–1 victory tonight over Joaquiin Andujar and the St. Louis Cardinals. The loss nullified any chance St. Louis had of picking up a game on the Mets, who lost this afternoon to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals remain one and one-half games ahead in the National League East. Bedrosian (6–11) went five and one-third innings, giving up four hits and five walks while striking out two to pick up the victory. Zane Smith allowed one hit over two and two-thirds innings before Bruce Sutter worked the ninth for his 22nd save.
The brawl was nothing more than a few profanities hurled from one player to another and some innocent shoving that loosely resembled a rugby scrum. It was over as quickly, as suddenly, as it had begun. But the Mets’ Ed Lynch, who was at the core of a benches-clearing skirmish today with the Dodger rookie Mariano Duncan, may have felt lasting results. Lynch suffered a hip injury and perhaps a bruised psyche after he and Duncan engaged in a brief fight in the sixth inning. Duncan was ejected, but Lynch was knocked out of the game by the bad hip and a subsequent homer that he surrendered to Mike Marshall. The Dodgers, down by 4–0 at one point, staged a comeback that resulted in a 7–6 victory and ended the Mets’ winning streak at five games.
Mike Schmidt smashed a bases-empty homer in the fourth inning and a run-scoring triple in the sixth to back John Denny’s five-hitter, giving Philadelphia a 2–0 victory over San Diego. Philadelphia has won seven of its last eight games and 10 of its last 13. Denny (10–11) did not allow a runner beyond second base. He struck out four and walked two for his second shutout and sixth complete game. Andy Hawkins (17–5) was the loser. Schmidt’s homer in the fourth was his 26th of the year. In the sixth inning, Von Hayes opened with a single to right and Schmidt followed with a triple off the center-field fence. He was then picked off by the catcher Terry Kennedy. Hawkins lasted seven innings and permitted six hits.
Tim Raines and Hubie Brooks each drove in two runs to lead Montreal to a 7–1 rout of the Giants. Floyd Youmans (2–2), a rookie, pitched five innings for the victory. Tim Burke went the final four innings to earn his sixth save. Dave LaPoint (7–12) took the loss. Montreal took a 1–0 lead in the second. Andres Galarraga singled and one out later, Sal Butera walked. Youmans bounced a roller in front of the mound. LaPoint fielded it and threw past the first baseman Dan Driessen allowing Galarraga to score. The Expos went ahead 2–0 in the third on a one-out triple by Andre Dawson and a single by Brooks. Montreal added two runs in the fourth on an error and Raines’s sacrifice fly. The Giants cut the lead to 4–1 in the sixth on Driessen’s run-scoring single. The Expos made it 6–1 in the seventh as Raines homered. Montreal added a run in the eighth on Webster’s bases-empty homer.
Lee Tunnell teamed with Pat Clements on a six-hitter and Joe Orsulak got three hits and scored twice as Pittsburgh beat Houston, 7–1. The victory was just the second in the last 24 road games for the Pirates. Tunnell (3–9) won his second straight decision while striking out seven and walking one before leaving with a blister in the seventh inning. Tunnell gave up five hits. Charlie Kerfeld (1–2) was the loser. He gave up six runs on eight hits in three and one-third innings.
