Jav Yielded onlv sixth-inning single to Jerry Lynch for eight innings and Warren Spahn pitched the ninth after .the 6-foot, 4-inch Milwaukee rookie issued his eighth walk to lead off the frame. Thus, Dykes was introduced to the fact that probably led more than anything else to his predecessors'' failures the Redlegs just can't beat the Braves. The world cham pions whipped 'em 18 times in 22 meetings last season and Thursday night's victory made the 1958 count, 11-3 Lead By Six Bill Bruton homered for thg Braves' first run in the first innine and Wes Coving ton's triple and an error made it 2-0 in the second. Roy Mo Millian's error and Del Cran dall's single built the lead to 3-0 in the eighth.
