Charlie Hough and 3 Relievers Put Texas on Brink of Series Victory

Hough teamed up with his pen to lead Texas over St. Louis 4-3. John Wetteland got his second rocky save (this time he surrendered a PH HR to Johnny Mize), but who's counting? Big Frank Howard's 2-R HR in the 2nd inning was the game's big hit. Game 6 features Dizzy Dean vs. Kenny Rogers.
