Ron Guidry They Rke to hit fastballs, a lot of first-pitc- h fastballs, Guidry said. So I started throwing a lot of sliders. My slider is a good one and everyone knows that," said Guidry, who was staked to a 0 lead after five innings, thanks, in part, to Steve Kemp's performance. Once you get ahead, you dont get funny. You just keep after them. Weve seen them win a lot of games with strange things. New York Manager Billy Martin and his Kansas City counterpart, Dick Howser, agreed with Guidrys assessment. It wasn't his fastball that was striking them out," Martin said, "It was his slider. It got better and better." Said Howser: He had an excellent breaking ball. He seemed to throw with two speeds and there isnt much you can do against that." Guidry, 12-joined Texas Rick Honeycutt and Clevelands Rick Sutcliffe as the top winners in the American League.

But Houk is at wits end over his pitching. He threw three tantrums in six days. The latest was Thursday when he went to the mound at Seattle. He doesn't go out unless he's going to remove a pitcher, but this time he went just to berate Bob Ojeda for walks. Four players from Brinkman's years with the Washington Senators still are active: Larry Blittner, Toby Harrah, Aurelio Rodriguez and Jeff Burroughs.
