Larry Christenson, a 19-year-old righthander who is the youngest pitcher in the N. L., made his debut with the Phillies and hurled a five-hitter to defeat the Mets, 7-1. As the Phillies' No. 1 draft choice out of Marysville (Wash.) High School last year, Christenson had his only previous pro experience at Pulaski in the rookie Appalachian League, winning four games and losing two.
