1982 NL News Recap with League Leaders

July 13, 1982

 At the All Star break Montreal's Tim Wallach has been a surprise power force in the NL this 1982 season. He leads the league in HR (26) and RBI (77). His teammate Andre Dawson is having a fine season too. He's 2nd in RBI (75), 4th in HR (19) and 5th in BA (.328). Other teammates, Tim Raines, leads the NL in SB with 48 and pitcher Bill Gullickson is 11-2 with a 2.57 ERA. They've been the main reason the Expos have been able to keep the surging St. Louis Cardinals with striking distance in the NL East.
Here are the NL League Leaders at the All Star break:
