Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 4, Rangers 0 at California (night game):
Clyde Wright not only pitched a two-hitter but had a perfect night at the plate with a double, single, walk and sacrifice bunt to stand out in the Angels' 4-0 victory over the Rangers. Wright, who throws lefthanded but bats righthanded, drove in two runs with his double in the fourth inning.

Brewers 4, Indians 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Brewers registered a sweep of a four-game series for the first time in the club's history when George Scott scored on a wild throw in the 15th inning to defeat the Indians, 4-3. Scott walked and stole second, leading to an intentional pass to John Briggs. Joe Lahoud beat out an infield hit to load the bases. With Joe Azcue batting, catcher Jerry Moses had a shot at picking Scott off third but threw wildly.

Pirates 5, Cubs 2 at Chicago (day game):
The Pirates reduced their "magic number" to three in the East Division race by defeating the Cubs, 5-2. The victory increased the Pirates' lead over the runner-up Cubs to 15 games. Bob Moose, who started for the Pirates, pitched 6 1/3 innings before being forced off the mound when Jose Cardenal lined a single off his wrist. The hit was only the third given up by Moose. Ramon Hernandez relieved and held the Cubs hitless the rest of the way. The Pirates, who were shut out by Rick Reuschel for the first five frames, ripped into the rookie for three runs in the sixth on a double by Al Oliver, single by Manny Sanguillen, double by Gene Alley and single by Moose. Singles by Rennie Stennett and Roberto Clemente, an infield out by Willie Stargell and single by Oliver added the Pirates' final run in the seventh.

Astros 10, Padres 6 at Houston (night game):
Steve Arlin became the major leagues' first and probably only 20-game loser of the season when the Astros defeated the Padres, 10-6. Arlin was the N. L.'s leader in losses last year with 19. The Padres staked Arlin to a 5-0 lead in the third inning, three runs scoring on a double by Leron Lee. The Astros came back to count six times in their half. Tommy Helms and Rich Chiles each hit two-run singles. However, five of the Astros' runs were unearned.

Cardinals 6, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
The Expos went over 5,000,000 attendance for their four-year history but spoiled the occasion by losing to the Cardinals, 6-2. The crowd of 10,580 brought the Expos' total to 5,006,129.
