Hawks Sunk by Drillers
Houston beat Chicago on the strength of starting pitcher Randy Robins's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-3. Robins yielded 3 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 3-2. The Hawks drop to 12-19, as their fitful start to the 1972 campaign continues.

The Drillers got a big at-bat from shortstop Don Martinez. For the game, Martinez was 1 for 4 with a double. In the bottom of the sixth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 1st double of the season gave Houston a 2-1 lead.

"Winning never gets dull," said Martinez.
