The Tigers ended Wilhelm's nine-game winning streak and knocked him out of the box for good measure Mon day night with a 6-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles The coup de grace was a two- run homer by Harvey Kuenn heading into summer days that will put hurling staffs to the test. The Orioles and Red Sox had high hopes that the two lefties they swapped at last live up to their promise. A year ago at this time Harsh man ranked as the ace of the Baltimore staff with a record of 5-0 and the converted first baseman appeared to be at the peak of his career. Harshman Slips Badly But he slipped badly after that and wound up at 12-17 for the season. This year he has an 0-6 record, has failed to finish any of his eight starts and has a 7.42 earned run average. Hoeft, whom Boston obtained from Detroit earlier this year, has a 1-4 mark and a 6.23 era.

The St. Louis Cardinals pur chased third baseman Dick Gray from Los Angeles. Phils Sell Hegan The Philadelphia Phillies sold 38-year-old catcher Jim Hegan to the San Francisco Giants and recalled pitcher Dick Farrell from Buffalo of the International league.

Los Angeles recalled out fielder Frank Howard from Victoria of the Texas League, where he was - hitting .370 with 27 homers. The Pittsburgh Pirates bought' veteran righthander Bob Porterfield from the Chi cago Cubs and sold pitcher R. G. Smith to the Detroit Tigers. And the Phillies dug down deep - a reported $40,000 worth - for another "bonus baby." He's Larry Daniels, a 19-year-old recent high school graduate from Birmingham, Ala., who is rated a good hit ting prospect. He is the fifth bonus player signed by the Phils within' the past two weeks for a total estimated outlay of $290,000. Darnels is slated for the Phils'.

It marked only the third time in 11 starts that he failed to finish.
