A crowd of 32,232 witnessed two Reds pitchers whitewash the Tigers on only four hits. And although the Reds collec- ted only seven hits, they all came in the right places. CEASAR GERONIMO homered off starter Fernando Arroyo in the first in- ning to give the Reds the lead. The right hander, reactivated last week from knee surgery, was the losing pitcher. Arroyo gave up another run in the fourth on a double by Don Warneranda rbi single from Pete Rose. The Reds' final tally came off Steve Viefhaus, a young right hander brought up from Montgomery for the game. Both clubs substituted freely in the affair, with 33 players seeing action. Along with Arroyo and Viefhaus, manager Ralph Houk inserted Gary Grafton in the ninth inning, a right hand reliever from Evansville. THE REDS started with Doug Capilla, who was credited with the win. The left hander scattered four hits over seven innings but ironically again today finds himself a minor leaguer. But the real winners last night were the kids participating in sandlot baseball programs. Although the final tallies are not in, it is estimated that over $125,000 was raised to be distributed to baseball organizations in 105 cities over Michigan, Ohio and On- tario. This was the second game of the home-and-home series with the Reds that began in 1974. EARLIER THIS year, the Tigers rallied in the late innings to defeat Cin- cinnati 5-3 before a crowd in excess of 30,000. The Tigers return to American League action tonight against Califor- nia. Nolan Ryan will be on the mound for the Angels, Jack Billingham for Detroit. Game time is 8:00.
