Eckersley needed only 79 pitches to throw a four-hitter against the slumping Detroit Tigers in the visiting Red Sox' 4-2 victory Tuesday night. "We may pitch him tomorrow," Houk said, kiddingly.

"Eckersley was sharp. He moved the ball around a bit. The fifth day of rest we've been trying to give him obviously helps." Dwight Evans, Rick Miller and Jim Rice all homered to provide the Red Sox with all the offense they needed to remain in first place by three games in the American League East while dooming the Tigers to their 14th defeat in 15 games. "I had good control, but they were mainly just sw inging at it," Eckersley said. "I think when a club gets behind, they start pressing.

A team like Detroit scares you because you know they're bound to break out of if anytime."

Herzog decried his team's lack of runs after the Cardinals were shut out by the Philadelphia Phillies' Steve Carlton Monday night. So on Tuesday night, the Cardinals put a smile back on their manager's face when they pounded Phillies starter Dick Ruthven and I in a 15-3 victory.

George Hendrick slugged a grand slam home run, a two-run double and sacrifice fly for seven RBI as the Cards ended an eight-game Phillies winning streak. The victory enabled St. Louis to regain first place from the Phillies, who reached the top of the National League East Monday for the first time this season. Hendrick's seven RBI tied Keith Moreland's National League high for the season. Moreland knocked in seven against Houston May 7.

The Cardinals' 15 runs also was a league high for a single game this season. St. Louis had scored 14 on opening day. Braves 6, Astros 5: Glenn Hubbard's run-scoring single with one out in the 11th inning gave Atlanta a comeback victory over visiting Houston.

Dodger castoff was a steal for Padres By TONY SIBERT Sun Sports Writer LOS ANGELES The Dodgers have had some of the great base-stealers in baseball history Jackie Robinson and Maury Wills, to name a couple. They might have had another one if it hadn't been for the San Diego Padres. His name is Alan Wiggins, once a Dodger property and now left fielder for San Diego.

He's already tearing up the basepaths this season. This really shouldn't come as any surprise to the Dodgers. When Wiggins was with their Lodi Class A farm team in 1980, he set an all-time professional baseball record when he stole 120 bases. During that year he also batted a respectable .288. With a track record like that, San Diego wasn't about to let Wiggins pass by when it had a chance to draft him out of the Dodgers organization.

And at today's free agent-inflated prices, Wiggins was a real bargain for the Padres it cost them only $25,000 to acquire his contract. True to form, Wiggins showed the Padres in 1981 what he had previously shown the Dodgers, stealing 73 bases for S.D.'s Triple-A farm club in Hawaii while being thrown out only 15 times a stolen base percentage of .820. And his batting average was even better than the year before .302. But as they say, it doesn't really count until you do it in the majors. Wiggins has.

Already, as a rookie, he's stolen 26 bases and been thrown out only once. Not too shabby. His secret? "More or less, my stealing is something I've picked up along the way," says Wiggins. "I have my own individual techniques." Wiggins won't say how many bases he thinks he can steal this year. "It's hard to estimate," he says.

But Padres manager Dick Williams talks strictly in superlatives when describing the performance of his rookie left fielder. "He's just doing really well," said Williams. "He's got great speed on the basepaths and he's been outstanding in the field." Wiggins does have one problem on the basepaths he gets picked off first base frequently, more than a baserunner of his capability should. This year he's been picked off first six times. In one game, the Dodgers' Fernando Valenzuela got him twice.

"I don't feel that being picked off is a problem to worry about right now," said Wiggins. "I just have to learn to be a little more patient and guess the pitchers better." Once Wiggins does, pitchers will start worrying a lot more whenever he's on base. Closed Monday Open Holidays Country Club Drive, Rialto Co. 875-5346 SEE YOU THERE!

Then Reuss yielded singles to Sixto Lezcano and Terry Kennedy and an RBI double to Kurt Bevacqua and it was 4-2. Forster came on and got two quick outs, with one run scoring on Joe Pittman's grounder.

But Forster then walked Gene Richards, and Lasorda went to right-hander Niedenfuer to face right-handed batter Luis Salazar. San Diego manager Dick Williams countered with left-handed pinch-hitter Broderick Perkins, who rifled a single into center to tie the score. Garry Templeton followed with a chop single over the mound and the Padres led 54. Marshall doubled over a fallen Edwards in center field in the bottom of the ninth and then ran through Danny Ozark's stop sign to score on Russell's single, but it only prolonged the Dodgers' fate for an inning. With the defeat, only their fifth in the last 18 games, the Dodgers fell 5V games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL West.

The Padres' late surge also made for a two-game switch, pushing the Dodgers three games rather than one out of second place, currently occupied by San Diego. The Padres are obviously intent on keeping things that way. "We're not giving anything away," said Templeton. "They're going to have to beat us." There was no beating them on this night. Dodgers notes The Dodgers' fait rise Ui the standings baa coincided with i similar rise in their stolen-base output.

With an SB In each of the first three Innings on Tuesday, the Dodgers nlsed their season total to 73 In 76 games. That equals their total output tor last season in 110 games. They've stolen 30 bases In their last 18 games One reason for the marked Increase in steals Is the addition of Steve Sai. A first Inning theft gave Sax 30 for the year. He entered the contest as the NL's No.

5 steals man. Moments after getting No.30, Sai was thrown out trying to steal third, only the ninth time he's been caught this year Even Roa Cty got Into the act, waddling to a steal of second In the second. It was his first SB In two seasons and only the 18th of his career. Possibly getting carried away by that succeas, the Penguin was thrown out trying to stretch a double Into a triple two Innings later. The Dodgers and Padres conclude the series with a doubleheader today, beginning at 5:05 p.m.
