NOTES: Lead back down to a game and a half, this great prize fight moving into the later rounds. Big game for rookie Reggie Smith who has picked up the slack for fallen comrade Tony C. Yaz continues on his triple crown pace. Mike Andrews leads the team in doubles with 24. Rico Petrocelli in slumping badly in August, batting a paltry .150. Ron Hansen hit his first homer in a month.
