The condition, a vertebrae that has slipped out of position and can irritate nerves in his back, has improved, thanks to an exercise program. "It's a world of difference," he said.

"The exercises to stretch and strengthen the stomach and abdominal muscles really help. "Sure, I've played in pain; most players have. People seem to think that players are always healthy, that everybody on the field is 100 percent. They don't realize that's not always so, and that injury problems affect a player's performance." Parrish's career was on the skids a couple of years ago he flopped in 1987 and 1988 with the Philadelphia Phillies but he's thriving now. Relatively pain-free, he's hitting .283, ranks sixth in the American League with 14 homers, and his 37 RBIs tied him for the team lead.

If he maintains his hitting pace, Parrish could, at age 34, have one of the best years of his career, which already includes six All-Star appearances. With his back bothering him, Parrish hit just .215 with IS homers and 60 RBIs for Philadelphia in 1988. The Angels, hoping he could regain his All-Star form, acquired him in a trade for pitcher Da- ANAHEIM, CALIF. (AP) It's grimy, hard work, and his back troubles him at times. There are the 90-plus mph pitches, potential knuckle-busters.

There are the treacherous foul tips that can leave painful welts. Every so often, there's the close play at home that rivals the fiercest collisions football can offer. Still, Lance Parrish wouldn't trade his job for a more cushy position. "I admit there are times when I wish I could be standing out in the outfield," the California Angels catcher said. A moment later, however, Parrish added with a smile, "I played first base a little bit recently and when I walked off the field, I felt like I hadn't done anything.

"Catching can get to be a pretty steady grind over six months. And it's probably the most complicated position to play. But you get to see and experience everything that goes on." Parrish feels fortunate he's still able to make a living to the tune of some $1.2 million a year playing what arguably is baseball's most demanding position. He has worried in recent years that a bad back vid Holdridge after that season. He had a so-so year in 1989, hitting .238 with 17 homers and 50 RBIs.

His best year was with Detroit in 1983, when he hit .269 with 27 homers and 114 RBIs. "When I came here, I had a lot of questions about how long I could keep playing, from a physical standpoint. The truth of the matter is that everything's kind of worked out," said Parrish, who played high school baseball and football at Walnut High, some 15 miles from Anaheim Stadium. He said he hopes to be able to put together a full season without the back problem hampering his play. "The back hardly bothers me at all right now, but I don't know how long that will last, don't know when it might flare up again.

I've got a pretty good handle on it now, but there are no guarantees." Parrish already has had a "productive" season in 'one category. A 6-foot-3, 220-pounder who's not exactly a threat on the basepaths, he has stolen one base already, matching his total of the past five years. "Aw," he said, grinning, "the signals just got mixed up or I probably wouldn't have made it."

The Pittsburgh Pirates, who have been seeking pitching help for a month, Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Scott Erickson, just called up from dou-ble-A Orlando of the Southern League, gave up four hits in six innings in his major-league debut and Kirby Puckett hit a three-run homer Monday night, leading Minnesota past Texas, 9-1. Puckett has 10 home runs, one more than last season. He averaged 28 a year from 1986 to 1988. Erickson, 8-3 with a 3.03 earned-run average at Orlando, became the first starter to go directly from dou-ble-A to the Twins since Brad Havens in 1982.

Minnesota needed the 22-year-old right-hander to bolster a pitching staff that entered the game with a 4.36 ERA the American League's third-worst. The Twins gave up a club-record 23 hits in Sunday's 11-2 loss to Kansas City. He struck out four and walked two before being relieved by John Cande-laria, who pitched three scoreless innings for his third save. Erickson led, 4-0, in the sixth when he yielded Texas' only run on a walk AMERICAN LEAGUE to Julio Franco, a single by Rafael Palmeiro and an RBI single by Harold Baines. He escaped further damage by striking out Ruben Sierra and Pete Incaviglia.

Mike Jeffcoat retired the first nine Twins but unraveled in the fourth inning.

"I don't want to look toward anything too quick. If I start doing that I'll be playing (outside) my limits." One Kinston fan has already tried to make it easier for Costo.

When he came out to be introduced Sunday, he saw that a man wearing an Iowa T-shirt had draped an Iowa banner over the railing. "He's a local man who went to Iowa," Costo said.

Boston ended Toronto's 15-game winning streak at Fenway Park, beating the Blue Jays behind Jody Reed's tie-breaking home run.

Boston shelled Dave Stieb for six runs in the first inning, but John Ole-rud's two-run homer lifted Toronto Into a 7-7 tie in the third. Reed hit a solo home run in the sixth and the Red Sox scored twice in the seventh. The Red Sox beat Toronto at home for the first time since Aug. 10, 1987. The Blue Jays fell three games shy of the major-league record of 18 consecutive victories on an opponent's home field, accomplished three times.

Dennis Lamp, who relieved Dana Kiecker in the second, was the winner as the Red Sox moved into the American League East lead, one-half game ahead of Toronto. Jeff Reardon, making his first appearance in 10 days because of back problems, pitched the ninth for his Uth save. Stieb threw 36 pitches without retiring a batter. His 10-2 record and five-game winning streak stayed intact as Willie Blair took the loss. Stieb gave up three hits, including a two-run double by Mike Greenwell and an RBI single by Tony Pena.

He walked four, including Danny Heep with the bases loaded. Blair took over with Boston ahead, 4-3, no outs and the bases loaded and gave up a two-out, two-run single to Wade Boggs. Greenwell doubled twice and got four of Boston's 13 hits. Reed, who also doubled and singled, homered with two outs into the left-field screen.

32.591. SmalPs stats big enough for triple-A Ail-Star berth By RANDY PETERSON Reelster Staff Writer Iowa Cubs second baseman Jeff Small has received little attention from the parent Chicago Cubs this season. With Ryne Sandberg having the best start of his career, another second baseman is the last thing on Manager Don Zimmer's long-and middle-innings relief. "We view him a lot like Bill Lan-drum, as having a lot of ability but not yet having found his niche," Pirates General Manager Larry Doughty said. "Everyone we talked to said he has great stuff," Manager Jim Leyland said.

Doughty was Cincinnati's farm director when Tibbs pitched for the Reds, going 6-2 with a 2.86 ERA in 1984 and 10-16 in 1985 before being traded to Montreal. 0 Bell, Davis honored. Toronto's George Bell, who hit .500 last week, has become the first American Leaguer to be named Player of the Week twice this season.
