The native of Czechoslovakia earned his money Sunday with some great strategy. "Hir (Denton's) body is big and heavy," said Lendl, who slammed his fast ground strokes from one corner of the court to the other. "I tried to move him around the court so he would do a lot of running." The proof was in the shirts. Early in the match. Denton's shirt turned into a 190-pou- ls 7-- 6-- 2, soggy mop. Lendl 's shirt was still crisp at the end of the match. "He played a smart match," acknowledged Denton. "He ran me around a lot, but I don't think it hurt me. I felt pretty good. It's just that he played well. He has such good ground strokes. I was just fighting to stay even." But Lendl couldn't afford to let Denton get even.

(UPI) - The next time Lanny Wadkins speaks, perhaps more people than just Payne Stewart will be listening. "I told Payne on Saturday night I felt if I could get through the front nine in I might have a good round.

Michelangelo didn't paint Rucker over the lett field fence for his 29th homer of the season after a one-osingle by Rod Carew. Rucker thought he had caught Jackson on a called strike three. Instead, home plate umpire Tim McClelland called ball three to make the count full. "I thought I did. (catcher) Lance (Parrish) thought I did," Rucker said. "Everybody on the bench thought I did. Sometimes you don't get what you want, though. I had to go 2 and the whole ballpark knew what was coming." Luis Tiant started for the Angels but left after the fourth with stiffness in his upper back. He allowed four hits and two runs. Reliever Luis Sanchez, 52, was the houses. Einstein never bothered much with practical math. Should Reggie Jackson try for singles? "My job is to hit home runs," Jackson said Sunday after hitting a two-ru- n homer in the seventh inning to rally the California Angels into first place in the AL West with a 5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. "There was no doubt in my mind it was gone," Jackson continued. "The media and fans make a real big deal about my home runs. Like mine are different, so to speak. But I enjoy that as much as anybody else, probably even more so because I'm really in on the action."

He moved to second on a single by Willie McGee's fourth hit of the game and stayed there when Julio Gonzalez was retired on a foul pop. Ozzie Smith then reached on an infield hit to load the bases.
