Marty Barrett, making his first start of the season, drove in one run and scored the other last night as the Boston Red Sox ended the California Angels five-game winning streak with a 2-0 victory at Fenway Park.
Southpaw Bobby Ojeda (1-2) allowed only three singles and struck out six, including Reggie Jackson three times, when rain delayed the game in the bottom of the sixth.
Barrett had three consecutive singles in just his third appearance of the year. Veteran catcher Jeff Newman had two singles as the Red Sox handed Geoff Zahn his first loss in three decisions.
The Red Sox scored in the second as Reid Nicholas doubled and remained at second as Newman best out an Infield hit, Nicholas took third on a fly by Jackie Gutierrez and scored on Barrett's single.
The Red Sox added an unearned run in the fifth. Barrett singled, moved to second as right fielder Fred Lyon dropped Dwight Evans fly for an error, took third on Wade Boggs sacrifice bunt and scored on Mike Easler's sacrifice fly.
Toranto 8, Seattle 5
Lloyd Moseby drove in four runs and Jorge Bell cracked a two-run homer to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to at 8-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners last night in Toronto.
Dave Stieb (3-0) worked 71/3 innings, giving up eight hits, including an eighth-inning home run to Gorman Thomas, Roy Lee Jackson finished up, earning his second save.
Trailing 4-3, the Blue Jays scored four runs in the fifth, Toronto loaded the bases on singles by Buck Martinez and Alfredo Griffin and a hit batsman, Damaso Garcia, Moseby cleared the bases with his double, and Dave Collins singled him in to put Toronto ahead 7-4.
Bob Stoddard relieved Mark Langston (1-1) in the eighth and balked home a run. The Mariners led 4-3 in the fifth when, with the bases loaded, Al Davis and Pat Putnam hit RBI grounders.
The Blue Jays scored three runs in the fourth when Garcia led off with a double and scored on Moseby's bloop triple. Bell followed with his homer to give the Jays a 3-2 lead.
The Mariners led 1-0 after the first when Putnam doubled home Davis. They upped the lead to 2-0 in the second on Bob Tierney's RBI single.
Chicago 6, St. Louis 2
Scott Sanderson gave up only two hits in seven innings and Larry Bows drove in three runs with a single, a squeeze bunt and a grounder, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 6-2 triumph last night over the skidding St. Louis Cardinals.
Sanderson (2-1) walked two and struck out none before leaving in the Chicago eighth. He had a no-hitter until Mike Ramsey doubled in the Cardinal's sixth. Ramsey eventually scored on Steve Braun's grounder and Lonnie Smith's sacrifice fly.
Darrell Porter homered for St. Louis in the seventh, but the blow couldn't overcome an early 3-0 Cubs lead.
The advantage was built on Bowa's RBI single off Dave LaPoint (1-3) in the second and a suicide squeeze bunt to cap a two run burst by Chicago in the fourth Jody Davis singled the first Chicago run in the fourth after Leon Durham and Ron Cey each walked and worked a double steal.
