Arlin hurled a four-hitter Tuesday night and got some im- lusty hitting from the. Padres to beat the Cardinals 6-1. Elsewhere in the National League Tuesday, Pittsburgh ripped Montreal 10-6, Chicago shut put Houston '5-0, Phila- delphia edged Atlanta 3-2, Los Angeles blitzed San Francisco 9-1 and Cincinnati split a doubleheader in New York, winning 5-2 before losing 9-4.

That was enough for the ex-Ohio State star, who- boosted his to 6-13 and needed just 98, pitches to do the made it to spring training for the first time this year.
