He's Working Up To It! Marichal May Soon Pitch Two Shutouts In One Day It's Nine Straight For Marichal By MIKE RATHET AueciaM Wrtttr About the only thing Juan Marichal hasn't done yet this season is pitch two shutouts in one day. But he's working up to it. The unbeaten San Francisco right-hander was on his way there Thursday, pitching 14 innings before recording his ninth victory and fourth shutout in the Giants' 1-0 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. "This was my toughest game of the year," Marichal admitted. "I was tired." But he added: "I think I could have gone a few more innings." It probably wouldnt' have made much difference to the Phillies.

Marichal has been virtually untouchable this season and surrendered only six hits against the Phillies while striking out 10 and walking only one. Only two other games were played in the National League, ter. Pittsburgh edging Houston 3 2 and St. Louis defeating the Chicago Cubs 3-2. In the American League.

Baltimore walloped the Chicago White Sox 7-1, Cleveland belted Detroit 8-4 and Boston downed Minnesota 7-2. Marichal was locked in a brilliant duel with Jim Bunning until the llth inning when the Phillies starter left for a pinch hitter after allowing only four hits. Then, in the 14th, Jim Davenport lined one to right center off reliever Darold Knowles. Johnny Callison tried for a backhand, shoestring catch but the ball got by him for a triple. Hal Lanier drew a walk -and it was Marichal'i turn to bat.

"I didn't want Herman (Manager Herman Franks) to let me hit and then be sorry for said Marichal, "so I went to him and told him. I've been hit- ll well but I'm not a good hit- Franks tapped Jesus Alou to but eventually got out of pinch hit and Knowles walked him intentionally. Pinch hitter Bob Barton then lifted fly to center field, Davenport raced home with the game's only run and Marichal had a 9-0 record. Manny Mota's third inning homer proved decisive for the Pirates. The victory went to Steve Blass but he needed Pete Mikkelsen's relief help in the eighth inning after Jim Gentile tripled.

bases-loaded jam by fettinf Felix Mantilla to hit into a double play. Cubs' starter Dick Ellsworth took a six-hitter and a 2-0 lead provided by Byron Browne's homer into the ninth inning but the Cardinals came out on top.
