Warren Spahn, Milwaukee's veteran left-hander, worked four innings Friday, giving up only one run to the Cincinnati Reds as the Braves won 6-3 at Nashville. The Cardinals' Stan Musial, who could win comeback of the year honors, hit his fourth spring homer to spark a St. Louis rally that beat the Cubs 64. Teammate Ken Boyer added a homer in the ninth inning. Ernie Banks, the National League's Most Valuable Player two straight years, homered for Chicago.

It was his ninth of the spring. Robin Roberts worked six scoreless innings against minor league opposition in a 4-0 Philadelphia victory over Indianapolis of the American Assn. Don Drysdale, of Los Angeles pitched five scoreless innings and struck out six San Francisco Giants. But McCovey, a sophomore question mark most of the spring, hit his third homer in four days to key a five-run eighth inning rally that won it for the Giants 7-3. Spahn will be Milwaukee's opening day pitcher against Pittsburgh.

Drysdale has drawn the same assignment against the Cubs, and Roberts is due to face Cincinnati. Pittsburgh was idle Friday. So were Boston and Cleveland in the American League, but the other six played Florida games. The official AL season doesn't open until April 18. The Washington Senators ended New York's three-game winning streak, 8-0 at Orlando.

It was the fourth time the Yanks had been shut out in an exhibition game. Camilo Pascual and Jack Kralick pitched it, Pascual allowing all six Yankee hits in. seven innings. Bob Allison ho- mered for the second straight day and rookie Don Mincher singled and doubled after homering twice and singling Thursday in his Senators' debut.
