Buhl, who won only two games all last season, registered his seventh victory in spectacu lar style against the Phils. The 27-year-old right-hander struck out 12 batters, more than any other. Milwaukee pitcher has fanned this year, and gave up only five hits, including Andy Seminick's ninth-inning homer which robbed him of a shutout.

Thomson also con tributed a single in Milwuakee's three-run fourth and now has boosted his batting average from .217 to .277 in the past six weeks. Along with Thomson's mark ed Improvement at the plate and the recent strong pitching' by Buhl, the Braves have started to move back toward the top after having trailed Brooklyn by 15 games less than a month ago. Rookie righthander Larry Jackson of . the Cards stopped the Dodgers on four hits in hand ing them their fifth loss in eight games.
