Mota Closes In On NL Batting Title Amid Giants Rally
Willie Mays powers the Giants to a split of a doubleheader with Houston as Manny Mota climbs toward this season's NL batting title despite limited at bats. Mota goes 3-for-?, including a ninth-inning homer for Pittsburgh, while Mays sits one homer from tying the all time list. Alou leads NL with a 4? at-bat pace, complicating Mota's bid. Dodgers and Cubs split a marathon two games with extras.
