currunl opponent. SUNDAY'S RESULTS By ANNE TOBIK Tree Press Sports Writer When John Hiller saved 38 games for the Tigers in 1973, he figured it was a record that wouldn't stand. "There are very few records in baseball that go unbroken," Hiller said Sunday from his home in Iron Mountain. "I knew that wasn't one of them." But it took 1 0 years for a reliever to match Hiller's record Texas 2, SEATTLE 1. Kansas City 3, MINNESOTA 1.

CHICAGO 5, California 4, 10 Detroit 6, MILWAUKEE 4. TORONTO 16, Oakland 6. Baltimore 5, NEW YORK 3. Boston 4, CLEVELAND 1. On May 30, 1 980, the Tigers interrupted their game at the end of the third inning to announce that Hiller, who spent all 1 5 of his major league seasons with the club, was retiring.

He received a tumultuous ovation. That same year, Quisenberry spent his first full season in the majors, saving 33 games. "I've never really met him," Hiller said, "but I remember seeing him pitch. He's a good relief pitcher and he has the right attitude. "Relief pitching's not easy.

It's not just comin' in and throwin' hard. You're in a pressure situation and you have to take a sort of carefree attitude to survive. From what I hear about Quiz, he certainly fits that mold." Hiller also thinks Quisenberry's unorthodox submarine style has contributed to his success. "It certainly helps him because the hitters aren't used to seeing it," he said. "He also has excellent control." (Home teams In CAPITALS) Hoyt gets 20th win for saves in a season.

Sunday, Kansas City's Dan Quisenberry did it. The Royals and Minnesota Twins were tied, 1-1, with two down in the top of the ninth when Hal McRae singled. Willie Aikens then belted a homer. The call went out for Quisenberry, who polished off the Twins in the bottom of the inning. He got Dave Engle to bounce into a game-ending double play and save No.

38 was his. CHICAGO (AP) Six times, says Chicago White Sox pitcher LaMarr Hoyt, he shook off catcher Carlton Fisk. And all six times, Hoyt says, the California Angels got hits on the i I Viv' nexi pitcn. In spite of that, Hoyt became the first American Leaguer in three seasons to win 20 games, pitching a gutty complete noma ClinHnir fY.i.nnn,n A in (Home teams In CAPITALS) Reynolds wraps up LA victory with bunt LOS ANGELES (AP) "I don't ask these kids how old they are," manager Tommy Lasorda said of his young Los Angeles Dodgers. "We just put them up to do a job.

We're going to make men out of them real quick." The latest junior star was R.J. Reynolds, 23, a rookie center fielder who played the Texas League season at San Antonio. His squeeze bunt scored Pedro Guerrero with the winning run, capping a four-run rally in the ninth Sunday to beat Atlanta, 7-6. The Braves had seemed destined to end the three-game stand in Dodger Stadium just a game behind Los Angeles in the NL West. Instead, the Dodgers open at Houston Tuesday night three games in front of the Braves, who go to Cincinnati.

Guerrero, switched from the outfield to third base this season, said, "Every game is important at this time but especially this one. What a game. I got so excited when (Mike) Marshall hit the ball I got a headache." Marshall, playing his first full season in the major leagues, doubled in two runs in the ninth and sent Guerrero to third with one out. Reynolds, who joined the Dodgers in late August and won't be eligible for playoff games, came to bat after rookie Greg Brock was walked intentionally by Gene Garber to load the bases. "Lasorda told me to be aware of the squeeze," said Reynolds, playing in the Atlanta series because of Ken Landreaux's injured ankle.

He took one ball and then got the sign. "When the ball hit the bat, I knew the game was over," said Reynolds, whose bunt went down the first base line and gave Guerrero plenty of time to score. "This has got to be my greatest moment. I'm like a little kid. I knew they were 6uiuv.

HILLER SAID he follows the Tigers when possible, but he can't get a clear radio tranmission until after 9 p.m. He still pulls for the Tigers, although he's been in contact with few of them. Mark Fidrych, another former Tiger pitching great, visited Hiller over the Labor Day weekend. And Hiller called John Wockenfuss in the clubhouse last season after 'Fuss hit a game-winning homer.

"Other than that, I haven't talked to any of them lately," Hiller said. Wockenfuss, an avid hunter and fisherman, used to take Hiller on frequent fishing excursions. But Hiller didn't start hunting until he moved to Iron Mountain three years ago. "It's a way of life here," he said. Hiller and his family moved from Minnesota after he played in several amateur baseball games at Iron Mountain.

Angeis. "I'm as happy as I can be," said Hoyt (20-10) after allowing 11 hits in Chicago's seventh straight victory and 13th consecutive at home. Harold Baines' RBI single with one out in the 10th scored Julio Cruz from second base with the winning run, making Hoyt the first AL pitcher to win 20 games since Steve Stone, Tommy John, Mike Norris, Dennis Leonard and Scott McGregor each won 20 or more in 1980. No White Sox pitcher had reached that mark since Jim Kaat in 1975. "They were swinging at just about everything I was John Hiller OTHER RELIEVERS have come close to Hiller's record.

Rollie Fingers saved 37 games in 1978, and Bruce Sutter matched that the following year. Hiller kept track of Fingers and Sutter late in those seasons, hoping his record would hold. "It's human nature to hope it will stand," he said. "But I knew it was just a matter of time." And Quisenberry with three weeks left in the season has plenty of time to top Hiller's mark. "The fact he did it so early makes it easier," Hiller said.

"To see it lost or tied at the end of the season with just a game or so to go would make it a lot more dramatic. Then I'd really be disappointed to see it go." Despite his disappointment, Hiller said he's happy for Quisenberry. "He's a good pitcher and he's having an outstanding season," he said. "I know how he must feel 'cause I know how good I felt." HILLER'S FEAT was especially gratifying. In January 1971, at age 27, Hiller had suffered a heart attack.

"Other than being surprised, I never did expect it (38 saves)," he said. "It was my first full year back. The doctors had said I might never pitch again. And it was such a good feeling to know I could still pitch. It was also special for the doctors who had worked so hard with me." throwing," Hoyt said.

"I knew we were going to get some runs. I just wanted to be around long enough because 1 didn't know how long they were going to let me go." Hoyt said he usually shakes off his catcher about six times a game. "I do it because I have confidence I can get the guy out on my own pitch," he said. Hoyt walked only one batter, his first base on balls in 31 innings. He struck out four.

Chicago manager Tony LaRussa, whose White Sox now lead the AL West by 1654 games and reduced their magic number to four, said Hoyt's performance "was not as outstanding as some," adding, "they hit some balls hard off of him." We liked the area so we decided give it a try." The Hillers are also trying their hand at what John describes as homesteading. "I know some people have called us as farmers, but we're really just homesteaders. We don't sell anything. We just try to raise our own meat and vegetables try to stay out of the grocery stores." Hiller pitches and plays the outfield on an amateur team that does a little traveling. But he doesn't miss major league baseball.

"I had my chance and I'm thankful it lasted as long as it did. That year I saved 38 games was certainly pivotal for me. I still view it as an accomplishment even if it's no longer a record." going to walk Brock with a base open and it would be up to me." Dale Murphy hit his 32d homer of the season, a three-run shot that put the Braves ahead, 3-2, in the third inning. Each club used six pitchers. Garber (3-5) took the loss; Joe Bcckwith (2-3) was the winner.

MONTREAL: Former manager Gene Mauch has turned down a chance to return to the Expos as an executive. The Expos reportedly offered Mauch a job as an administrative aide to general manager John McHale, with the long-term intention of having Mauch take over general managing duties, But McHale says Mauch has decided to remain in California. Mauch reportedly is interested in a front-office position offered by the California Angels, who he managed last season Warren Cromartle, on Al Oliver, who hit two grand slams in nine days: "Man, two grand slams in a little over a week.
