Dennis Leonard allowed Rick Byrens to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete
game as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Chicago Fire 6 to 1 at Angel Stadium.
Eddie Murray made sure the Los Angeles fans enjoyed themselves. He doubled in
the 5th inning and launched a Grand Slam homerun in the 6th inning. Los
Angeles had just 6 hits for the night.
The victory was credited to Leonard(4-1) who went the distance, allowing 1
run. Joe Niekro(1-1) was the loser. He pitched 8 innings giving up 6 hits
and 4 walks.
