BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : ANGELS : Club Going to Four-Man Rotation

After watching Scott Lewis, Fernando Valenzuela and Joe Grahe combine for a 1-8 record as the fifth starter, the Angels decided to use a four-man rotation for the next few weeks.

The change will begin Sunday, when Jim Abbott pitches on three days’ rest instead of four. Chuck Finley, Kirk McCaskill and Mark Langston will pitch on three days’ rest at Kansas City. Grahe, who failed to retire the seven batters he faced Tuesday, returned to the bullpen Thursday and earned the victory in relief.

“We’ll see how it goes, depending on the number of pitches we have to make and how much we’re going to have to use the bullpen,” pitching coach Marcel Lachemann said. “Obviously, there’s going to be more quality innings the bullpen is going to have to assume.

“It was kind of a cumulative thing. We’ve had a lot of inconsistency in that last spot. It’s not any one thing or any one person. (The other starters) kind of like the idea, but we’re going to make sure it won’t be too much of a load by having them do less throwing between starts.”

Center fielder Junior Felix received a cortisone injection in his right calf after Tiger physician Dave Collon determined Felix re-strained his calf muscle Wednesday in Milwaukee. Felix, who came off the disabled list Monday, will be re-evaluated this weekend and is not available to play. . . . Tiger Manager Sparky Anderson was given a two-year contract extension, which takes him through 1994. Anderson, who passed his 12th anniversary with Detroit on June 12, is the 10th winningest manager in major league history with 1,868 victories. He is second on Detroit’s list behind Hughie Jennings’ 1,131. “I’ll be 60 in 1994,” Anderson said. “I used to think 35 is old. Now I think 60 is young. I’m enjoying managing more than ever. I’m not ready to stay home and play golf. If I get through ’94 and they want me in ‘95, I won’t let them drive me out.”

A Milwaukee teen-ager filed a civil suit against Luis Polonia and the Pfister Hotel, claiming she suffered “significant physical and emotional damages” from a sexual encounter she had with Polonia in 1989, when he was with the Yankees.
