At San Francisco, Nolan Ryan pitches eight innings, striking out eight in beating the Giants, 4–1. Ryan strikes out Giants Chili Davis to nudge ahead of Steve Carlton in all time strike outs.

Friday, September 7th

IN THE NEWS: Dwight Gooden pitches a one-hitter and strikes out 11 in a 10–0 rout of the Cubs. The only hit is Keith Moreland's slow roller in the 5th inning, which 3B Ray Knight fields but can't get out of his glove. Gooden's 11 strikeouts give him 236 for the season, breaking the National League rookie record set by Grover Alexander in 1911. For Gooden, he will win another nine straight over the Cubs, lose, then win 12 straight.

Down 4–0 in the 8th, the Tigers score four runs -- three on a homer by Kirk Gibson -- to tie the Blue Jays in Toronto. In the 10th, Dave Bergman cracks a 3-run homer and the Tigers win, 7–4. Willie Hernandez (9–2) wins with three innings of shutout relief. The Tigers lead the American League East by nine 1/2 games.
