Seattle Roughs Ups Reds to Tie Series

Game 2 features Seattle’s Burt Hooton (16-6, 2.75) against Cincinnati’s lefty Doug Rau (19-8, 2.65). Seattle hopes to come away with a split in Cincinnati before heading back to Seattle. The Mariners got off to a good start with a lead-off double by Molitor who later scored on a Ruppert Jones single to take an early 1-0 lead. The Reds tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the 2nd when Johnny Bench scored on a Lee Mazzilli sac-fly. Seattle took back the lead 2-1 in the 3rd when John Stearns scored from second on a Dave Stapleton single off of Rau. The Mariners got to Rau again in the 4th when Barry Bonnell singled in Andre Thornton. Rau had men on 1st and 3rd with 1 out but managed to get out of the inning giving up only 1 run. Cincinnati reduced the lead to 3-2 in the 5th thanks to pitcher Doug Rau. Rau doubled with one out and moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a force out by Doug Driessen. The Mariners threatened in the 6th loading the bases with none out after a single, a walk, and an error on an attempted sac-bunt. A Barry Bonnell single scored Richie Zisk but Andre Thornton was thrown out at home trying to score. Thornton injured his knee on the play and would leave the game to be replaced by Greg Walker. A walk to John Stearns loaded the bases for Burt Hooton with 1 out. Seattle skipper Darrell Johnson elected to stay with Hooton and it didn’t pay off as Hooton struck out for out #2 leaving it up to Paul Molitor to try to extend the damage. Molitor did his job with a 2-out double to the right field corner scoring Ripken and Bonnell but a great throw by Bernie Carbo cut down John Stearns for the third out. Seattle did manage 3 runs in the 6th to extend their lead to 6-2. Cincinnati added a run on a 1-out Lenny Randle triple but Seattle brought in Enrique Romo to close the door and strand Randle on third keeping the lead at 6-3. Seattle added an insurance run to take a 7-3 lead when Ruppert Jones doubled in Paul Molitor with two outs. Tom Gorman came in to close the game out for Seattle. He got in a bit of trouble with a pair of walks but a 6-4-3 double play ended the game giving Seattle the 7-3 win and tying the series at 1 game apiece. Paul Molitor earned the player of the game award going 4/5 with 3 2B’s, 2 runs, and 2 RBI’s. Burt Hooton (2-0) earned the win going 6.1 innings giving up 3 runs on 6 hits while 4 relievers combined to give up only 1 hit in 2.1 innings. The Reds Doug Rau (0-1) earned the loss getting roughed up for 6 runs on 10 hits in 7 innings though 3 runs were unearned due to 2 errors. We head now to Seattle for Game 3 with the series tied!
