Today's scores and summaries:

Royals 4, Red Sox 2 at Boston (day game):
Amos Otis, who homered in each half of the preceding day's doubleheader, hit for the circuit again as the Royals completed the sweep of the three-game series by defeating the Red Sox, 4-2. The Royals counted twice in the fifth inning on a double by Cookie Rojas, a hit batsman, single by Joe Keough and sacrifice fly by Jerry May. Otis homered after a single by Freddie Patek in the eighth to provide the Royals' winning margin.

Brewers 5, Indians 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
Johnny Briggs kept the Brewers in the game, batting in their first three runs, before his teammates took over to defeat the Indians, 5-3. Briggs drove in one run with a single in the first inning and homered with a man on base in the sixth to tie the score at 3-3. The Brewers broke the tie in the same stanza on singles by Ted Kubiak and Rick Auerbach around a groundout by Ellie Rodriguez. Two walks, a sacrifice and single by Rodriguez added an insurance marker in the seventh.

Twins 3, Tigers 1 at Minnesota (night game):
Walks to Harmon Killebrew and Leo Cardenas with the bases loaded in the eighth inning handed the Twins a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. Jim Perry helped himself by hitting a single to lead off. Cesar Tovar was safe on an error and Rod Carew walked to fill the sacks. Killebrew then drew a pass to force in Perry with the tie-breaking tally. After Tovar was out at the plate on a grounder by Tony Oliva, Cardenas walked to send Carew home.

A's 5, Yankees 2 at New York (night game):
Returning to the winner's circle, Vida Blue pitched the Athletics to a 5-2 victory over the Yankees before a crowd of 30,052, the largest night turnout at Yankee Stadium since August 23, 1968. Blue, who was stopped on his 10-game winning streak by the Red Sox in his last previous start, doled out six hits including a double by Bobby Murcer and single by Felipe Alou for a run in the second inning, and a double by Alou and single by Gene Michael for another tally in the eighth. The A's jumped on Steve Kline for four hits and two runs in the second and added another pair when Joe Rudi singled and Reggie Jackson homered in the third. Rudi and Mike Epstein doubled for a run in the seventh.

Senators 6, Angels 5 at Washington (night game):
Elliott Maddox singled as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning, remained in the game and then smashed a three-run homer in the seventh as the Senators outlasted the Angels, 6-5. After the blow by Maddox put the Senators ahead, 6-2, the Angels fell short with a three run-rally in the eighth. Alex Johnson batted in two runs with a double and scored on a single by Ken McMullen, who also had a homer in the game to mark his 29th birthday.

Expos 5, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Thanks to the relief pitching of Mike Marshall, who yielded only one hit in the last 2 1/3 innings, the Expos ended their six-game losing streak by defeating the Dodgers, 5-2. Steve Renko, who started, allowed four hits but walked eight and loaded the bases three times. Marshall took over in the seventh with the sacks filled, after Renko hit Jim Lefebvre with a pitch to force in Maur yWills, and squelched the Dodgers the rest of the way.

Pirates 9, Cardinals 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Taking command with five runs in the first inning, the Pirates rolled to a 9-0 victory over the Cardinals, who were stopped on their seven-game winning streak. Dave Cash started the attack with a double for the only extra-base blow among the Pirates' 15 hits. Dock Ellis, who allowed three hits, posted the third straight shutout to the credit of the the Pirates' staff, following scoreless performances by Bob Moose and Steve Blass in the two preceding games with the Cubs.

Mets 5, Giants 4 at San Francisco (night game):
The tremendous relief work of Tug McGraw enabled the Mets to defeat the Giants, 5-4. The Mets were leading, 5-2, going into the eighth when Willie Mays sparked a Giants' rally by smashing a homer. Dick Dietz and Tito Fuentes followed with singles to kayo Gary Gentry. Danny Frisella struck out Al Gallagher but walked Bernie Williams and Jimmy Rosario to force in Dietz. McGraw then took over and chilled the Giants by striking out Fran Healy and Bobby Bonds. The Giants had another chance in the ninth when Mays singled with one away, but McGraw ended it with strikeouts of Dietz and Fuentes.

Astros 7, Braves 6 at Atlanta (night game):
Cesar Cedeno, who broke out of a slump with a homer, double and single in the previous day's game, rapped four more hits in five trips, including another homer, to pace the Astros to a 7-6 victory over the Braves. Cedeno and Jesus Alou, who also had four hits, drove in three runs apiece. Hank Aaron and Orlando Cepeda smashed two-run homers for the Braves.
