Ken Hill (3-4) won for the first time in seven starts since May 4. He gave up six hits in 5Vs innings and Ken Dayley got his third save.

Phillies 7, Pirates 5 PHILADELPHIA Pinch hitter Curt Ford singled with the bases loaded, sparking a three-run eighth inning as Philadelphia beat Pittsburgh. With the score 4-4, Von Hayes drew a leadoff walk from Bob Kipper (0-3) and stole second. Reliever Randy Kramer intentionally walked Dwayne Murphy and John Kruk singled, loading the bases. Ford batted for Dickie Thon and singled to left field for a 5-4 lead. Pinch hitter Darren Daulton added a two-run double with the bases loaded.

Dodgers 5, Braves 4 ATLANTA Fernando Valenzuela won for the first time in nearly a year and ended his eight-game losing streak as Los Angeles beat Atlanta. Valenzuela (1-5) got his first victory since beating Atlanta 5-4 last June 12. He had gone 19 starts without winning and lost his final three decisions last season before going on the disabled list in July. Valenzuela gave up four runs on six hits in 6V3 innings. He walked four and struck out two and improved to 18-7 lifetime against the Braves.

Atlanta's Zane Smith (1-9) lost his fifth consecutive decision. Astros 3, Padres 2 HOUSTON Mike Scott won his 10th game and Terry Puhl doubled twice as Houston beat San Diego, the Astros' 12th victory in 13 The Associated Press CINCINNATI Paul O'Neill took some pre-game swings with Kevin Mitchell's bat Wednesday night, then went out and did a pretty fair impersonation of Mitchell. O'Neill hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and drove in a career-high six runs, leading the Cincinnati Reds over the San Francisco Giants 12-5. TV: Mets at Cubs, WPBF-25, WPLG-1 0,8 p.m. Mitchell leads the major leagues with 22 home runs and 61 RBI, and O'Neill was curious about his success.

So O'Neill asked permission to take a few cuts with his bat and Mitchell obliged. "I got a hold of one of his bats before the game and was swinging it around," O'Neill said. "Maybe it rubbed off." O'Neill hit an RBI single in the first off Atlee Hammaker, a second-inning grand slam off Jeff Brantley, and a solo homer in the fifth off Brantley. The grand slam was the first of O'Neill's career and the first by a Reds' player since Nick Esasky hit one against Houston last June 14. "That was one of those home runs you hit and enjoy right off the bat," O'Neill said.

"In the back of your mind you hope something like that will happen." O'Neill is 14-for-26 with three homers in six games this season against the Giants. Barry Larkin went 2-for 5 to raise his NL-leading average to .355. He double home two runs, starting a six-run second inning that put the Reds ahead 8-3. The Reds turned to a new strategy to hold Mitchell without a homer for only the third time in his last seven games. They walked him National League intentionally with first base open in the first inning setting up a two-run double by Ernest Riles that gave the Giants a 2-0 lead.

Later, Cincinnati used a severe shift against Mitchell, moving second baseman Lenny Harris 10 feet to the third-base side of second. Mitchell came into the game with a .524 lifetime average against Mahler, but went 0-for-3. Mets 10, Cubs 5 CHICAGO Kevin McReyn-olds drove in four runs with a homer and sacrifice fly and Dwight Gooden beat Chicago for the 17th time in 20 lifetime decisions. McReynolds' homer came during a five-run fifth off loser Rick Sutcliffe and broke a 4-4 tie. Barry Lyons, who had three RBI, doubled home two more off reliever Pat Perry as the Mets rebounded after losing the first two games of the series by a combined score of 23-7.

Gooden (7-2) allowed seven hits and five runs while walking four and striking out two. Rick Aguilera pitched the final four innings and allowed two hits for his fourth save. New York's Darryl Strawberry was forced to leave the game in the sixth with back spasms. Cardinals 5, Expos 2 MONTREAL Tom Brunan-sky homered and drove in three runs, leading St. Louis over Mark Langston and Montreal Expos.

A crowd of 30,214, the largest in Montreal since opening day, turned out to see Langston in his home debut. Langston (1-1) pitched seven innings and gave up four runs on seven hits.

American League With dark clouds and thunder in the distance threatening rain, the Sky Dome's $100 million retractable roof began closing in the fifth inning. The closing operation began at 8:48 p.m. and ended at 9:22 too late to prevent a brief stoppage in play. When the roof is working perfectly, the procedure is scheduled to take 20 minutes, but Sky-Dome officials still are working out some minor problems. Play was stopped for 6 minutes.

Lucie Mets pitcher Dave Proctor overwhelmed the Fort Lauderdale Yankees for nearly eight wet innings of a Florida State League game Wednesday night. But it was the Mets' bats that came through in the end, as third baseman Chris Donnels broke a 2-2 tie with an RBI single in the eighth to give St. Lucie a 3-2 victory. It was the second consecutive game Donnels beat the Yankees with eighth-inning heroics (he broke an 8-8 tie in Tuesday night's 10-8 win). Mets left fielder Titi Roche singled to lead off the eighth, and center fielder Steve Davis followed with a walk.

A passed ball advanced both runners and set up Donnels' game-winning hit. "Both times I came up the guys were in scoring position, so all I had to do was put the ball in play," Donnels said. "Turns out I got a base hit. Everybody made my job that much easier by getting on base." A one-hour, 17-minute rain delay that came with two outs in the top of the eighth forced Mets manager Clint Hurdle to remove Proctor, who gave up two unearned runs on six hits and had 10 strikeouts in 7 innings. "Proctor was perfect tonight," said Mets catcher Javier Gonzalez.

"He had his curve and his fastball working. They couldn't touch him." Right-hander Julio Machado (1-0) came on for the Mets and earned the victory. fc with seven home runs and 39 RBI. Outfielder Scott Jaster was recalled to the St. Lucie roster from the Mets Peninsula farm team.

Jaster was batting .292 with seven home runs and 22 RBI. St. Lucie 3, Ft. Laud 2 FORT LAUDERDALE all ST. LUCIE bl 0 0 A.
