Left-handed Rucker, 25, has been switched from relief to a starting assignment, as Anderson and pitching coach Roger Craig try to build a five-man rotation that includes at least one left-hander. Barring trades, the Tigers will go into spring training with right-handers Jack Morris, Dan Petry, Milt Wilcox and Jerry Ujdur as their four established starters; Rucker will be vying with at least two or three others for spot No. 5.

The Tigers scored three of their runs off McGregor, two off Storm Davis, two off Sammy Stewart and the final three off bullpen ace Tippy Martinez.

The five errors committed by the Orioles were a season high, and just one short of the club record. Only one of the Tigers' runs was unearned, but the Birds' bobbles were more costly than that figure suggests. Petry, who was in a tight battle with Cleveland's Rick Sutcliffe for the league earned run average crown, was kayoed after just 2 '3 innings his shortest stint of the year. His ERA jumped from 2.97 to 3.14. But Rucker was outstanding.

The only hits he allowed were harmless singles in the fourth, eighth and ninth. Said Rucker: "The big thind tonight was that I was putting my slider just about anywhere I wanted it. And my fastball was live enough that I was keeping them off balance." The Tigers missed their first scoring chance against McGregor when Ivie doubled in the second and was left stranded. But in the third, Lou Whitaker's single and Herndon's 390-foot blast to left-center gave Petry a 2-0 cushion. The Tiger pitcher lost the advantage immediately.

Two hits, a sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch gave the Orioles one run. Then Ken Singleton bounced a hit past Whitaker to tie the score. THEN EDDIE Murray, hitting over .340 at Memorial Stadium this year, blasted a Petry pitch deep into the gold seats in rightfield for a 4-2 lead. It was Murray's 29th home run of the year, but only the second home run off Petry in his last 48 The O's weren't finished, though, John Lowenstein Johnson, blasted the first pitch more than 400 feet to ngnt for a homer to tie the game. Johnson's blow was only the third pinch-hit homer by a Tieer this season.

And in March 1978, while still playing for Arizona State University, he fell on his shoulder and tore some cartilage. The man has a knack, for whatever reason, for being injured. And now, as the Braves desperately fight to win their first divisional title in 13 years, Horner is on the bench with a hyperextended left elbow, reduced to listening to Atlanta games on the radio from a whirlpool seat.
