The second-place Tigers moved to within one and a half games of the division-leading Toronto Blue Jays, who lost to Milwaukee. Tanana, 14-10, who had been winless and was 0-3 in his previous eight starts, picked up his first victory since Aug. 11. He struck out three and walked one in his eight inning stint. THE ONLY RUN off Tanana came on Lee Lacy's seventh home run in the fifth. Eric Bell, 9-13, the first of five Baltimore pitchers, gave up five runs on five hits in three-plus innings. 11Madlock hit his 14th homer, a solo shot in the Detroit first. Jim Walewander's speed got the Tigers another run in the second when he reached on a bunt single, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Madlock's RBI single: LEMON HIT his 19th homer in the fourth, an three-run shot with Larry Herndon and Darrell Evans on board- Detroit Shortstop Alan Trammell extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a double in the fifth and scored on a single by Evans. Scott Lusader, running for Larry Herndon, who walked, scored on Lemon's RBI single for a 7-1 lead. Walewander tripled in the Detroit sixth and scored on Madlock's RBI grounder. Madlock worked around and scored on a sacrifice fly by Lusader. Matt Nokes tripled in the seventh and scored on a single by Brookens. Cardinals 1, Expos 0 ST. LOUIS (AP)- Rookie Joe Magrane pitched a three-hitter and Tommy Herr's sixth-inning sacrifice fly knocked in the only run as the St. Louis Cardinals moved closer to a National League East title with a 1-0 victory over the Montreal Expos in the first game of a doubleheader last night. The opening-game victory left St. Louis four games ahead of third- place Montreal with six games left for each team. The Cardinals also moved three games ahead of the New York Mets, who lost to Philadelphia, 3-0. Phlillies 3, Mets 0 PHILADELPHIA (AP)- Don Carman allowed only one baserunner- an infield single by Mookie Wilson in the fourth inning- and Mike Schmidt drove in two runs as the Philadelphia Phillies beat New York 3-0 last night, stalling the Mets' drive to retain their National League East title. Shortstop Steve Jeltz cut off Wilson's grounder toward the hole to the left of second base, and Wilson barely beat the throw to first. Brewers 5, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO(AP)- Glenn Braggs knocked in two runs with a pair of singles and B.J. Surhoff homered as the Milwaukee Brewers continued to act as spoilers by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-3, last night. The loss was the Blue Jays third straight and marked the first time the team has lost more than two games in a row since an eight-game slide that ended July 7. The Brewers, who have lost just once in their last seven outings, now have won eight of 12 games against the Blue Jays this season. TORONTO CATCHER Ernie Whitt was injured in thebsixth inning when he successfully broke up a double play at second base. Whitt was taken to a local hospital and x-rays revealed two cracked ribs on his left side. Milwaukee starter Chris Bosio earned the win with a seven-hitter to improve his record to 11-7. Toronto starter Jimmy Key, 17-7, lasted five and one-third innings and lost for the first time since July 11. THE SPORTING VIEWS By PETER ZELLEN On Monday night the San Fransisco Giants defeated the San Diego Padres. In doing so, they clinched their first National League West title since 1971. Before the season I wrote that the Giants would indeed win the division(see Daily-3/31/87.) Now that they've accomplished this, I will go one step further. The Giants, regardless of their opponents (Blue Jays), will win the World Series. Here are some of the reasons why: -Their pitching is just plain effective. The Giants starters always keep them in the game. Recent acquisitions Rick Reuschel and Dave Dravecky have solidified the staff. Atlee Hammaker and Mike LaCoss are more than capable number three and four pitchers. In the bullpen, the Giants lack that flamethrowing stopper that most teams like to have. Scott Garrelts, with his 123 strikeouts in 99 innings, however, has shown that 82 mph can work just as well as 95 when you want to get somebody out. The Giants lead the majors with a 3.64 team ERA. -The Giants' offense is potent with some kind of hitting at every position. The only members of the team that haven't hit are the backups at catcher and shortstop and the fifth outfielder. That's not an Achilles' heel considering that most teams sacrafice offense at these positions anyway. Firstbaseman Will Clark has 33 home runs, 90 runs batted in, and a .300 plus batting average. He's a dark-horse candidate for the National League MVP award. -The Giants work together for the victory. Remember all that team chemistry crap that the writers spoke of when talking about the '86 World Champion Mets. Well it works. The Giants don't have a lot of big stars per se but they can rack up numbers in the victory column. They won't have a 20-game winner and they probably won't have anyone with 100 RBIs. No one player carries the team. Whether it's a shutout by Big Daddy Reuschel or a home run by Jeffrey Leonard or Mike Aldrete, somebody always pulls through. A perfect example took place Monday. Relief pitcher Don Robinson pitched five innings of three-hit ball and hit a game-winning home run in the eighth inning for the victory in the division clincher. -One can also look past the obvious pitching and hitting aspects. The state of the club is surrounded by good feeling. There are no player or managerial outbursts. No bouts with the media. No fireworks. Everything is calm and cool. The Giants play in a Giants take West... ..Series next stop relaxed atmosphere in a mellow city that hasn't seen playoff action in over 15 years. And how about that city. San Fransisco doesn't have that destructive pressure that one might find in New York, Los Angeles, or even Detroit. Players aren't tense and aren't told to take control of the club and win at all costs. They just go out and do what they do best- play baseball. -Manager Roger Craig treats his players with respect and gets it back in return. He tells each player where he stands so nobody whines about playing time, or lack thereof. He's been called a player's manager and I have to agree. A fun clubhouse is one of the main aspects of a winner and the Giants have one. -The front office has been wheeling and dealing all season long and has put together a contender. General Manager Al Rosen and his staff have been working overtime. Here is a list of the players acquired since the start of the season: Reuschel and Robinson from the Pirates, pitchers Dravecky and Craig Lefferts as well as thirdbaseman Kevin Mitchell from the Padres, and on September 2, they traded for outfielder Dave Henderson from the Red Sox. Henderson will not be eligible for post-season play because he was acquired after the September 1 deadline. All of these players have greatly contributed to the Giants' success. Mitchell has been a terror at the plate. In his Giant debut he crushed two home runs and has been on a similiar pace ever since. In his two-month stint as a Giant, 38-year old Reuschel has only had two bad outings and has given the team a steady game every five days. The other players will allow the Giants to take a well rested bullpen and outfield into the playoffs. Rosen has gotten a lot of flack about dealing with teams having fire sales like the Pirates. I disagree. Being a good GM means being able to know how to deal with the other team's executives. The Reds and Bill Bergesch were unable to trade for the starting pitching that they desperately needed. Rosen took advantage of their ineptness and beat them to Reuschel and the division title. Rosen should take Executive of the Year honors. If all goes right you'll be hearing Vin Scully uttering those famous words voiced by Russ Hodges in 1951:"THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!" Who knows? It might be Will Clark's home run in the bottom of the ninth instead of Bobby Thompson's that will win it for them. LOOKING FOR A PART-TIME JOB THAT'S FUN?

His Giants won the National League West title on Monday and his daughter gave birth to his gran- dson on the same day. i } , .
