Reuschel(12-4) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. The loss was charged to Fernando Valenzuela(9-8). 'Reuschel gave us exactly what we needed tonight.' Chuck Tanner said. 'When he threw the fastball he threw it for strikes. They were really fooled by his change. Most of the time he had them chasing it.'
