But the White Sox rallied for three runs in the sixth. Javier Ocasio, who finished with three of South Bends five hits, sparked the rally with a run-scoring double. Cesar Bernhardt, the next batter, rapped a single to left to score another run. Its a positive start to the second half, Mattingly said. We want to get some wins and get going.

Mattingly, whom Steinbrenner called the most unproductive .300 hitter in baseball at the All-Star break; is the hottest hitter since that time. He got two more hits, making him 9-for-17 in the Chicago series, with at least two hits in every game. He has scored five runs, driven in four and raised his batting average from .310 to .322. Mattingly, who usually gets even better in the second half, has hit NATIONAL LEAGUED game series for the first time since April 18-21, 1985 in Cincinnati.

Perry moved up on an error and groundout and scored on Dion James sacrifice fly.

IH Associated Prosa Manager Tommy Lasorda and his Los Angeles Dodgers are in seventh heaven after sweeping a 5-game series from the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Steve Sax -snapped a seventh-inning tie with a two-out, run-scoring single as the Dodgers beat the Cubs 5-2 for a sweep of Sundays double-header. In the first game, Franklin Stubbs hit a pinch-hitjhree-run homer in the seventh inning to give the Dodgers a 4-1 victory. It all added up to a 7-game lead over second-place San Francisco in the National League West Sure, I like our position, Lasor- da' said.

About four days ago we were only two games in front. Weve made a lot of strides in the last four days." With two outs in the seventh inning of the nightcap, Chicago center fielder Mitch Webster mis-played Jose Gonzalezs line drive into a 3-base error. Sax followed 1 with a line single to right off reliever Les Lancaster, 45, for a 3-2 lead. To win five in a row in Chicago gives us a tremendous amount of momentum going into SL Louis, catcher Rick Dempsey said. We had to play well on this road trip.

If things continue to go well we can put a lot of distance between our--selves and the second-place club. In the first game, Chicago starter Jeff Pico walked Mike Scioscia to open the seventh, but Scioscia was caught at second. Pico, 3-5, followed by walking Jeff Hamilton atal Dave Anderson. Stubbs, pmh hitting for pitcher Tim Belcher, -hit the first pitch from Pico into the left-center field bleachers for his fifth homer. It was also Stubbs second pinch homer this season.

You leave the dugout swinging, and if you see something you like, you hack at it, Stubbs said. A pinch hitter cant afford to take pitches. If the pitcher makes a mistake, you dont want to miss it. Belcher, 6-4, went six innings and allowed four hits in his first start since June 18. Alejandro Pena pitched three innings for his eighth save and stretched his string of appearances without allowing an earned run to 11 games.

The rest of the divisiop is feeling pressure. Were seven up. Thatslot of yardage to make up, Derilpsey said. The only thing we have to do is stay away from a long losing streak. If we can do that well win it Pirates 5, Glant4 Barry Bonds hit a two-run pinch homer in the eighth inning as Pittsburgh beat visiting San Francisco for its ninth straight victory, and a sweep of the 4-game series.

Rapids 6, South Bend 5 Gary Redus of the White Sox slams Criticized two home runs since the break for a total of eight. He looks like hes swinging the bat like he always does after the All-Star break. Great, Chicago manager Jim Fregosi said. Winfield, whom Steinbrenner said was spending too much time with the off-the-field activities and -was nearing a second-half slump, went 3-for-4 with a double and raised his average to .346. Henderson, whom Steinbreuier complained was out of the lmeup too much, scored two runsrJack Clark, jho escaped Steinbrenner's wrath, drove in two runs during the Yankees 12-hit attack.
