In the NL, when Reggie Smith deplored his lack of playing time earlier in the season, Giants’ Manager Frank Robinson put him in the lineup. With Smith playing regularly, the Giants, not coincidentally, are embroiled in a pen nant race. “I think we are ready to play with anyone and I’m as excited as any of our younger players,” Smith said Wednesday night after belting a two-run homer in the bottom of the 12th inning to give San Francisco its 10th straight victory, an 8-6 triumph over the fading Atlanta Braves. “I’ve never been on a ballclub that has been so far back and made such a splurge as this club has,” Smith said. For the Braves, in the midst of a slump, it was the ninth straight loss and Manager Joe Torre can’t seem to Find a solution. “It’s a classic slump and I wish it would end,” Torre said. “In this game we got enough hits and enough runs, but our bull pen let us down. Of course, I’m very con cerned.” The Giants’ winning streak is their longest since they won 12 in a row April 30-May 13 during 1966. San Francisco has posted the major leagues’ best record — 28-13 — since June 27.

Toward the end, I think my velocity was a little better.” After retiring the first 13 bat ters he faced, Ryan yielded a one-out single to Terry Ken nedy in the fifth inning, thereby spoiling what could have been his sixth career no-hitter. “The hit came early enough in the game that it didn’t really upset me,” Ryan said. “If it had been a no-hitter in the seventh or eighth inning, I would have felt a little different about it.” Houston catcher Alan Ashby said: “The pitch was a low changeup and he (Kennedy)just hit it in the right spot. It was right off the end of the bat. “Anybody would be glad to get a one-hitter, but it wasn’t his best stuff — not by any means. Early on he had a good changeup and later he had a good curve, but it wasn’t what you’d call awesome.” ;ve Tes® :ft out ini!' p in humof the book,le 5.
