On April 22 , 1974 —  Cesar Cedeno drills two homers and drives in five to pace Houston past Atlanta, 7-0 . Claude Osteen, who was dealt by the Dodgers over the winter, scatters seven hits.

“I’m a growing boy,” said Cedeno. “I’ve got some power, and I’m going to get some more. I’m only 23. 1 think my power will be to all fields when I get my full strength.” He is batting .373, also leads both leagues in base hits, with 23, and leads them both in stolen bases with 10. His 15 runs scored trail only Lou Brock of St. Louis and his 6 doubles are only one off the major-league pace in that department.
