(UPI) — The Los Angeles Dodgers hope to even things up in today’s rematch with the Detroit Tigers in an exhibition Grapefruit League baSeball game.The- Dodgers, whose slated game with the St. Louis Cardinals Monday was called off here because of rain, picked Sandy Koufax to start against Detroit’s Paul Foy-tae.k, a 15-game winner last year.The Tigers account for one of the Dodgers’-two losses in seven spring training Grapefruit games so far.The Californians flew the 131 miles here from their Vero Beach camp Monday, waited ai*8und an hour for some of that Florida liquid sunshine to stop and then, discouraged, returned to Holman stadium and held a nine-inning in-tra squad game. ’With minors playing on both teams, Pee Wee Reese’s club edged the “varsity” 6-5.It was a sad experience for Don Drysdale, the ace Van Nuys hurler who had pitched eight scoreless innings up to Monday. He seemed to let up against his own teammates and gave them three walks, two unearned runs, and hit two batters—none of them injured, however.In the only two exhibition games played Monday, the Kansas City Athletics blanked the Tigers, 6-0, and Ted Kluszewski’s first spring hGrne run sparked the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs.-*4 -
