Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Tigers 4 at Baltimore (day game):
Backed by three homers, Mike Cuellar broke his own Orioles' club record for victories, posting his 24th of the season by beating the Tigers. 7-4. Brooks Robinson homered after a single by Paul Blair in the third inning. Blair hit for the circuit with a man on base in the sixth and added a solo swat for the Orioles' final run in the eighth.

Brewers 7, Angels 3 at Milwaukee (day game):
A crowd of 6,549 at Milwaukee's final home game of the season, boosting the new A. L. club's attendance to 934,820, saw the Brewers defeat the Angels. 7-3. Tommy Harper hit a homer and Ted Savage batted in four runs with three singles to lead the Brewers' attack.

Red Sox 4, Senators 3 at Washington (night game):
A pair of two-run homers by Tony Conigliaro powered the Red Sox to a 4-3 victory over the Senators, who went down to their seventh straight defeat. Carl Yastrzemski walked ahead of a round-tripper by Conigliaro in the first inning and was on base with a single when Tony connected again for the circuit in the third. The Senators kayoed Roger Moret and scored all their runs in the fourth, but Vicente Romo allowed only two hits in 5 1/3 innings of relief to gain the decision.

Padres 5, Braves 0 at Atlanta (night game):
Following the example of Steve Arlin in the previous night's game, Dave Roberts pitched the Padres' second straight shutout and beat the Braves, 5-0. Roberts allowed only six hits. The Padres collected 11, including a homer and two singles by Nate Colbert and a homer and single by Cito Gaston.

Pirates 8, Expos 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Luke Walker, who had become the Pirates' leading pitcher since returning to the starting rotation, scattered seven hits and beat the Expos, 8-0, for his fifth straight victory and eighth in 11 decisions since coming out of the bullpen August 5. The victory boosted the Pirates' East division lead to 2½ games over the idle Mets and retained their 2½-game edge over the Cubs. Walker's complete game was the first by a Pirate pitcher since Walker himself hurled the route against the Cardinals September 10. The Pirates backed their lefthander with a 15-hit attack, including a triple and two singles by Gene Alley, who drove in four runs.

Cubs 7, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
Bouncing back from the loss of the previous night's doubleheader, the Cubs defeated the Cardinals, 7-1, behind the pitching of Ken Holtzman, and pulled into a tie for second place with the idle Mets, both clubs 2½ games back of the Pirates in the East division race. The Cardinals scored their lone run in the first inning on singles by Lou Brock and Julian Javier and Carl Taylor's forceout of Javier. Joe Pepitone tied the score with a homer in the second and the Cubs then broke away with four runs in the sixth on walk to Glenn Beckert, a single by Tommy Davis, forceout by Ron Santo, double by Jim Hickman, intentional pass to Pepitone, single by Randy Hundley and a wild throw by Lou Brock.
