HOUSTON (AP) - Dickie Thon
ignited a four-run first inning with the
first of two run-scoring doubles last
night to lead the Houston Astros to a 5-2
victory over Atlanta, the Braves' third
consecutive setback.
With one out in the first, Terry Puhl
singled and scored on Thon's double
down the leftfield line. Loser Rick
Behenna, 3-1, walked Thon to third,;
CINCINNATI (AP) - Darrell Evans
doubled to launch an eight-run San
Francisco fourth inning and completed
the outburst with a two-run homer last
night, powering the Giants to an 8-5 vic-
tory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Evans rapped a single, a double and
his seventh home run to extend his hit-
ting streak to 12 games and raise his
average to .330.
Winner Fred Breining, 4-3, gave up
four runs in seven innings and got relief
help from Greg Minton with none out in
the eighth as the Giants recorded their
eighth victory in the last nine games.
Indians 5, Blue Jays 1
CLEVELAND (AP) - Juan
Eichelberger pitched an eight-hitter for
his first American League victory and
Manny Trillo drove in two runs and
scored one as the Cleveland Indians
beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 last
night.
Eichelberger, 1-1, in only his second
start since being acquired from San
Diego in an off-season trade, struck out
one and walked one. All eight hits off
the right-hander were singles. He lost
his shutout in the ninth inning on Jorge
Orta's RBI-single.

with one out in the fourth off loser Larry
Christenson, 1-3, and one out later went
to second on a walk to Larry Bowa.
Reliever Sid Monge attempted to pick
off Trout, but umpire Fred Brocklander
called him safe as Phillies manager Pat
Corrales argued in vain.
BILL BUCKNER singled to score
Trout, and Bowa scored on a passed
ball. Corrales came out for a pitching
change, said something to Brocklander,
and was ejected.
Leon Durham then singled to score
Buckner and Moreland, who had
singled in two runs in the first inning,
greeting Porfi Altamirano with his
fourth homer.
