Rodriguez then drilled his single to center. Magic Number: 129 The Brewers managed only two hits off four Detroit pitchers -singles by Mike Ferraro in the sixth and eighth innings. Lesa Cain, the starter, hurled hitless ball for 523 innings and had a 3-0 lead but walked the bases full.

IN OMAHA TwV fat boxers fight tonight OMAHA (A) - Joe Frazier, who came out of a Philadelphia slaughterhouse to gain fame in the ring, will defend his world h e a v y w e i g h t cham- pionship against Ron Stander tonight in this meat packing center. Frazier was rated a 10-1 fa- vorite for the fight which was scheduled to start at 10:25 p.m., EDT, and seen on home tele- vision beginning at 10 p.m. Both men ate sluggers and the chances are excellent that the fight at the 10,050-seat Om- aha Civic Auditorium, expected to be sold out, will not last the scheduled 15 rounds. Frazier has scored 24 knock- outs in winning all 28 of his pro fights. Stander has 23 vic- tories, 15 by knockout, one loss and a draw. The only common opponent they have had is Manuel Ra- mos. Frazier knocked Ramos out in two rounds in New York in 1966. Stander fought a draw with the Mexican here in 1970 and then outpointed him in 10 rounds here last year. One important difference in the fighters is that Frazier has never been cut while Stander is known as a bleeder and has had more than 60 stitches in his face to back up the reputa- tion. last fight when he stopped Ter- ry Daniels in four rounds in New Orleans Jan. 15. Stander weighed 241 - he's been heav- ier - in taking a 10-round de- cision over John Mac on March 20 at Council Bluffs. This will be Frazier's fourth defense since he won universal title approval by stopping Jim- my Ellis in five rounds Feb. 16, 1970, and it will be a fight for charity. Frazier is giving half of his purse to research for sickle cell anemia and his man- ager, Yank Durham, whose 4- year-old son has the disease, is donating his entire cut. IV .d ~ Hooton wins for Chicago By The Associated Press CHICAGO-Jose Cardenal slug- ged a pair of two-run homers and Billy Williams added a solo shot yesterday, leading the Chicago Cubs and Burt Hooton to a 5-1 victory over the New York Mets. Hooton, 4-4, allowed five hits and bested Buzz Capra, 3-2, in a battle of rookie right-handers. The victory was the third straight for the Cubs who ended New York's 11-game winning streak Tuesday. Willie Mays opened the game with a single and Jim Fregosi singled to open the Met second. Hooton then retired 11 men in a row before Capra beat out an in- field hit and advanced to third on another single by Mays. Phils axed MONTREAL - C a r 1 Morton hurled a one-hitter and Hector Torres and Bob Bailey socked solo home runs as the Montreal Expos defeated Philadelphia 4-1 last night, handing the Phillies their ninth consecutive loss. Morton, 2-4, struck out two and walked two. Anderson scored on Denny Doyle's sacrifice fly to account for the Phils' only run. The Expos took a 1-0 lead in the. bottom of the second off loser Woodie Fryman, 2-2, when Ken Singleton singled, moved, up on a wild pitch and scored on a, double by Ron Woods. After the Phils tied the score, Torres clouted his first home run of the year just inside the left- field foul pole. Bailey hit his second home run in the fourth and Montreal added a run in the fifth when Ron Hunt slapped a run-scoring single, scoring John Beccabella. * * * Braves belt CINCINNATI - Dusty Baker's two-out single in the eighth in- ning drove in Ralph Garr with the tie-breaking run that carried the Atlanta Braves to a 4-2 vic- tory over the Cincinnati Reds yesterday. Garr had singled to center with two out and stolen second, before racing home with the de- ciding run on Baker's hit. Atlanta had tied the score 2-2 with two runs in the fifth, also scoring after two out. Darrell Evans started the rally with a double to the right field corner. Mike Lum singled in Evans and took second on the throw to the plate. Lum then scored on Marty Perez' single to right. The Reds had taken an early lead on home runs by Joe Hague in the second inning and Johnny Bench in the fourth. A stros On SAN DIEGO - Doug Rader's sacrifice fly in the sixth inn- ing triggered a two-run, tie- breaking rally that carried the Houston Astros to a 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres last night. The Astros won the game Jn the sixth by loading the bases on a double by Jim Wynn, a single by Bob Watson and an intentional walk to Johnny Ed- wards. Rader broke the 2-2 tie with his sacrifice fly and then Tommy Helms capped the rally with a run-scoring single. Lee May had brought the As- tros from behind with a two- run homer off loser Steve Ar- lin, 3-4, in the fourth inning. Winner Don Wilson allowed seven hits, including a two-run homer by Leron Lee in the first inning that gave the Padres a 2-0 jump.
