Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 5, Red Sox 3 at California (night game):
A pass to Jim Spencer with the bases loaded in the eighth inning handed the Angels their go-ahead run in a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox. Tony Conigliaro batted in the Red Sox tallies with a pair of homers. In the Angels' eighth, Sandy Alomar beat out a bunt and when Rico Petrocelli dropped the throw to second on an attempted sacrifice by Jim Fregosi, both runners were safe. Roger Repoz bunted them along and, after an intentional pass to Alex Johnson, Spencer drew a walk to force in Alomar. Fregosi scored an insurance run on a grounder by Ken McMullen.

Royals 1, Indians 0 at Cleveland (night game):
A pinch-double by Hawk Taylor in 12th inning scored Joe Keough and gave the Royals a 1-0 victory over the Indians. Keough led off the stanza with a single and was sacrificed to second by Paul Schaal. After Rich Severson grounded out, Ed Kirkpatrick was passed intentionally. Taylor then batted for Al Fitzmorris and doubled on the first pitch by Phil Hennigan.

Brewers 3, Yankees 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
A three-run homer by Ted Savage and three-hit pitching by John Morris combined to bring the Brewers a 3-1 victory over the Yankees. Savage's swat in the sixth inning followed singles by Tommy Harper and Mike Hegan. Roy White homered with two out in the ninth for the Yankees' run.

Twins 5, Orioles 4 at Minnesota (night game):
Doubles by Tony Oliva and Rich Reese with two out in the 10th inning gave the Twins a 5-4 victory over the Orioles, who were stopped on their eight-game winning streak. Harmon Killebrew homered with a man on base for the Twins in the first. The Orioles bounced out to a 4-2 lead, but the Twins loaded the bases with singles by Rod Carew and Killebrew and a pass to Reese in the sixth, and tied the score on a forceout by Jim Holt and single by Leo Cardenas.

A's 8, Senators 1 at Oakland (night game):
Blue Moon Odom, who had been plagued by a sore arm, lasted until the seventh inning and received credit for his first victory since April 16 when the Athletics defeated the Senators, 8-1. When Aurelio Rodriguez singled and Bernie Allen walked, Odom yielded the mound to Rollie Fingers. After Paul Casanova went out on a grounder, Del Unser tapped to third and Rodriguez was caught in rundown but was permitted to score the Senators' lone run on interference by Sal Bando. Don Mincher drove in three runs for the A's with a double and single to help hand the Senators their seventh defeat in a row.

Mets 4, Cubs 0 at Chicago (day game):
Gary Gentry missed no-hitter by a shoestring when the righthander pitched the Mets to a 4-0 victory over the Cubs. With two out in the eighth inning, Ernie Banks lined to left field. Dave Marshall got a slow start and then tried for a shoestring catch but the ball bounced off the tip of his glove for a single and the Cubs' only hit. Art Shamsky started the Mets on their way to victory by smashing a homer off Bill Hands in the fourth inning.

Astros 6, Dodgers 5 at Los Angeles (night game):
Scoring on four walks in the eighth inning, the Astros posted what proved to be their deciding run in a 6-5 victory over the Dodgers. The Astros' scoring also included a homer by Joe Pepitone with two men on base in the fourth and a solo swat by Doug Rader in the sixth for his third homer in three games.

Expos 7, Phillies 6 at Philadelphia (night game):
Rusty Staub and Ron Fairly drove in all of the Expos' runs between them to beat the Phillies, 7-6. The Phillies had a hitting star in Don Money, who homered with two men on base in the sixth inning and connected again with one aboard in the eighth. The Phillies' other run also came on a homer, Ron Stone hitting it in the seventh. Staub homered in the fourth and batted in two runs with a single in the sixth. After advancing to third, Staub scored on a sacrifice fly by Fairly. In the eighth, Staub broke a 4-4 tie with a double and Fairly came through with the decisive hit, driving across a pair of runs with another two-bagger.

Giants 5, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Tito Fuentes, who had driven in only four runs previously this season, accounted for five RBIs and batted the Giants to a 5-1 victory over the Padres behind the three-hit pitching of Rich Robertson. Fuentes tripled with two men on base in the fifth inning and homered after Dick Dietz and Frank Johnson were safe on successive errors in the seventh. The Padres picked up their run off Robertson in the second on a double by Ivan Murrell, an infield out and a wild pitch.

Pirates 5, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
A grand-slam homer by Al Oliver in the sixth inning powered the Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals. With the score tied, 1-1, Matty Alou singled in the sixth and took third on a single by Roberto Clemente, who was caught in a rundown on the cutoff throw from the outfield but slid into second safely when Joe Hague threw the ball late and high. Hague was charged with an error. The Cardinals then walked Willie Stargell intentionally, setting the stage for Oliver's slam on the first pitch thrown to him by Bob Gibson.
