Orioles Beat Senators 6-1 to Extend First Place Lead
Orioles defeated the Washington Senators 6-1 as Chuck Estrada limited the Senators to six hits over seven innings and Jim Gentile launched his seventh homer of the season driving in three. Gentile, 26, added a 2-for-4 night to raise his AL average to .340, while Estrada improved to 6-1 with his fourth straight win. The win widened Baltimore's lead over idle Cleveland and moved Chicago within a half game of the Indians in a busy day across the league.

Ain With Flynn Schedule Will Favor Pittsburgh By JOHN FLYNN
The Pirates hold a home field edge over the Giants as they close the season with 32 of 52 games at Forbes Field and 16 of 56 at Candlestick Park. August and September schedules favor Pittsburgh with more home dates and fewer road games, plus several meetings with the Giants at home. If Pittsburgh stays near the top in June and July, they present a strong chance to win their first pennant since 1927.
