T Relief Hurlers Shine; Coates Credited With Two Victories By MILTON RICHMAN United Preii International They call the bullpen the back room of baseball, but three of the men who toil there-Jim Coates, Jim Duffa lo and Frank Funk-richly de serve to move front and cen ter today. Each of the three righthand ers came through nobly Sun day on a day when relief pitching in the majors gener ally overshadowed everything else. Coates gained credit for both ends of a doubleheader which the New York Yankees swept from the first-place De troit Tigers, 5-4, in 11 Innings ana b-b. Duffalo, the rookie reliever of the San Francisco Giants, won his third game without a defeat in an 8-7 victory over the Milwaukee Braves that widened the Giants' lead in the National league to a full game. And Funk, another rookie, pitched seven scoreless relief innings against the Baltimore Orioles to help Cleveland win a 15-innlng opener, 1-0, after Dodgers Blast 5 Home Runs Los Angeles-fflPD - Manager wait Alston today tried - to take the sting out of the 10-8 defeat the Los Angeles Dodg ers suffered Sunday by the Chicago Cubs in 11 innings by saying he would glady settle for a another six-game wining streak. "You hate to loes with a two-run lead in the ninth in ning," Alston said. "But those things happen." The Dodgers will seek to extend another streak tonight against the Milwaukee Braves when Johnny Podres, 5-0, takes the mound in an effort to continue his string of vic tories. Opposing him will be the veteran Braves hurler, Lew Burdette, 2-1. Although they lost to the Cubs, who snapped an eight game losing streak, the Dodg ers for the first time hit five homers in the Coliseum. It was the most homers they had hit since setting the club rec ord of six on June 1, 1955, at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Automotive BTif"" Center w OIL FILTERS V Most Cars tmm)'mm)t I Re9,'M Jl Tues.

He picked up nis first victory of the day by holding Detroit hitless in the llth inning of the opener which was decided by Yogi Berra s pinch single with the bases full off reliever Hank Aguirre. In the nightcap, Coates checked the Tigers on two hits and one run over the last five innings after taking over for starter Ralph Terry. Bob Cerv and Bill Skowron hom ered for the Yankees in the opener while Rocky Colavito, Dick Brown and Charlie Max well connected for the Tigers in the finale. Duffalo gave up one run in the last three innings, a hom er by Lee Maye of the Braves In the ninth. The blow tied the score at 7-7 but the Giants won the game in the bottom of the frame when loser Ron Piche walked pinch hitter Matty Alou with the bases loaded. Orlando Cepeda, Ed die Mathews and Jim Daven port, hit homers. Funk won his third game for the Indians by limiting the Orioles to four hits from the ninth through the 15th after relieving starter Jim, Perry, who had given up nine safeties. A throwing error by shortstop Jerry Adair in the 15th enabled the Indians to score the only run of the game. The loser was Jack Fisher, who entered the game Monday anal Friday 'Til 1 p.m. in the 12th. Billy Hoeft and Hoyt Wilhelm had blanked the Tribe until then. Willie Kirkland's three-run homer off loser Chuck Estrada in the seventh inning clinched the nightcap for Cleveland Kellever Barry Latman was the winner. Washington's two victories over Boston were turned in by rookie Joe McClain, who held the Red Sox to five hits in the opener, and Bennie Daniels, who fired a three-hitter in the nightcap. McClain retired the first 16 men in order in the opener before Billy Harrell singled. Jim King homered in the first game and Harry Bright in the nightcap. Billy Muffett and Mike Fornieles were the losers.

Roy Sievers extended his hitting streak to 19 games but lefty Joe Nuxhall snapped the streak in the nightcap. Nux hall gave up five hits in seven innings, then was relieved by Jim Archer in the eighth. Herb Score was the loser, yielding four of Kansas City's five runs. The Cubs, trailing the Dodg ers 8-4 after seven innings, fashioned their winning rally in the llth on three singles and a sacrifice fly. Dick Far relL who relieved starter Don Drysdale, was charged with the loss. Don Elston won his fifth game against one defeat by limiting the Dodgers to one hit over the last four innings. Seven homers were hit in the game. Norm Larker, Charlie Neal, Tommy Davis, Drysdale and Ron Fairly connected for the Dodgers, and George Alt- man and Sammy Taylor for the Cubs.
