Billy Sample snapped a third-inning tie with a two-run single tonight, and LaBelle Blanks lofted two sacrifice flies to lift the Texas Rangers to their seven-straight victory of 5-3 triumph over Oakland, which handed the A's their seventh consecutive loss.

Rookie Denny Dorwin, now 1-0, won his second Major League game in allowing four hits over seven innings.

Sparky Lyles started the eighth inning, earned his eighth save, while Matt Keough, who allowed only two earned runs, went the distance for Oakland to drop his record to 0-10.

At Detroit, rookie Lynn Jones drove in four runs with a home run and a tie-breaking seventh-inning single, and Milt Wilcox pitched six in the third inning with a three-hit relief pitching to spark the Detroit Tigers' to an 8-6 win over Cleveland at the Indians' 11th loss in 12 games.

Guidry.

Guidry says that Tidrow taught him how to pitch and that it was Sparky Lyle who taught him to throw that snapping slider.

He's always made mention of that.
