Christenson Shines As Phillies Top Pirates In Narrow Win
Phillies ace Larry Christenson matched Seaver-like form in a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates that trimmed the Bucs NL East lead to 4½ games. Christenson, 21, battled through early nerves after arm surgery and struck out four, aided by Dick Allen's two run triple in the eighth. Al Oliver and Willie Stargell homered for Pittsburgh. Other NL results: Cincinnati over San Francisco 6-4, Atlanta 5-3 over Los Angeles, San Diego 2-0 over Houston, New York 11-7 over St. Louis, Chicago 4-2 over Montreal. In Boston, Carlton Fisk starred as the Red Sox beat Milwaukee 7-6, highlighted by Fisk's four hits including two homers and a bases-loaded single that produced the winning run in the ninth. Fisk noted his return from a spring arm injury and leg rehab, saying timing is coming together as the team rides a late-season surge.
