...nothing-less-than-incredible Yankees arose for a last stand in the bottom of the eighth, aided by two embarrassing errors from third baseman Butch Hobson and second baseman Jerry Remy...
...Billie Jean King's kid brother, Randy Moffitt, relieving with the bases loaded, walked Los Angeles Centerfielder Bill North to give the Dodgers the league lead for the first time since May. Then the Giants fought back, winning a one-run game with a home run from Second Baseman Bill Madlock, a Dodger nemesis (he has a .342 career average against Los Angeles). The fourth game went into extra innings. The Giants stayed alive on a hit by aging Superstar Willie McCovey, indestructible and still explosive at 40, and carried to victory and a renewed fingernail grip on first...
Pitcher Don Sutton struggled with his control at the start of the season, yet he has won twelve games, against nine losses, mixing up curves and fastballs that leave batters fuming. First Baseman Steve Garvey, ramrod straight in the batter's box, the Jock Armstrong of baseball, has had that regular Garvey year: M.V.P. in the All-Star game, hitting .289, with 84 runs batted in.

The Reds have hung tight all season despite a below par year from one of baseball's alltime great pitchers, Tom Seaver, and injuries to former M.V.P.s, such as Catcher Johnny Bench and Second Baseman Joe Morgan.

...Second Baseman Joe Morgan, twice the National League's Most Valuable Player, has suffered a series of injuries that has left him far off form. A solid hitter, Morgan can usually be counted upon for 20 home runs and three times as many stolen bases. This season he is hitting .260, has had just one home run since May 19 for a season total of eight. He has not stolen a base since mid-June. Centerfielder Cesar Geronimo, four-time Gold Glove winner, has been hurt too, further weakening the team up the middle...
