Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 6, A's 2 at Boston (night game):
Carlton Fisk hit a two-run homer and Rico Petrocelli added a solo swat in support of Marty Pattin, who pitched the Red Sox to a 6-2 victory over the Athletics. Sal Bando homered for the A's in the first inning, but the Red Sox came back with three runs in their half, two on Fisk's smash and the other on a walk to Orlando Cepeda, double by Petrocelli and single by Danny Cater. Angel Mangual homered for the A's other run in the second, but Petrocelli matched it with his drive for the Red Sox.

Royals 5, Indians 4 at Kansas City (night game):
Paul Schaal tied the score at 4-4 with a homer in the seventh inning and Kurt Bevacqua broke the deadlock with another homer in the eighth to provide the Royals with a 5-4 victory over the Indians.

Brewers 5, White Sox 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Brewers tagged Wilbur Wood for 11 hits in the first five innings and beat the knuckleballing ace of the White Sox, 5-3. The loss snapped Wood's five-game winning streak. The Brewers scored their first run in the third. Pedro Garcia tripled and was thrown out at the plate on a grounder by Tim Johnson, but Bob Coluccio doubled to drive in Johnson. George Scott homered in the fourth. A single by Garcia, sacrifice, single by Dave May and double by Scott added two runs off Wood in the fifth. Chris Short, making his first major league start since August 30, 1971, when the lefthander was with the Phillies, was the winner, pitching six innings.

Tigers 8, Twins 3 at Minnesota (night game):
Tony Taylor singled on Jim Kaat's first pitch of the game and Mickey Stanley homered on the lefthander's next delivery to spark the Tigers to an 8-3 victory over the Twins. Before the first inning was over, the Tigers added two more runs on an error, single by Willie Horton, passed ball and double by Frank Howard. Joe Coleman gave up the Twins' runs on homers by Jim Holt, George Mitterwald and Danny Walton before leaving the game after 6 1/3 innings. Coleman was credited with his 10th victory and John Hiller, who relieved, gained his 10th save.

Angels 5, Yankees 2 at New York (night game):
Ken Berry homered with two men on base in the third inning and Jerry DaVanon knocked in two runs with a bases-loaded double in the fifth to account for all of the Angels' scoring in a 5-2 victory over the Yankees.

Rangers 4, Orioles 3 at Texas (night game):
A single by pinch-hitter Bill Sudakis with two out in the 14th inning scored Jim Spencer from second base and gave the Rangers a 4-3 victory over the Orioles. Spencer led off with a single and moved up on a slow roller by Dick Billings. After an intentional pass to Jeff Burroughs, Grant Jackson relieved Bob Reynolds on the mound for the Orioles and retired Vic Harris on a pop fly, but Sudakis then batted for Jim Mason and singled off the glove of shortstop Mark Belanger.

Braves 8, Cubs 7 at Chicago (day game):
The Cubs built up a 7-3 lead on two homers by Billy Williams and one by Ron Santo, but the Braves wiped out their deficit with a five-run rally in the seventh inning to gain an 8-7 victory. Marty Perez doubled, took third on a fumble by Rick Monday and scored the first run in the Braves' comeback on a sacrifice fly by Darrell Evans. Mike Lum singled and Ralph Garr homered to add two runs. Dusty Baker walked, stole second and counted the tying tally on a single by Johnny Oates. Jose Cardenal bobbled Oates' hit, allowing the batter to reach second, and Dick Dietz then singled to drive in the deciding run.

Dodgers 3, Expos 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
The wildness of Balor Moore proved costly to the Expos' lefthander, who allowed only four hits in seven innings but lost to the Dodgers, 3-2. Moore walked Davey Lopes in the first inning, Bill Buckner beat out a bunt and both runners moved up on a wild pitch. Lopes then scored on an infield out by Willie Davis and Buckner crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Joe Ferguson. A walk to Ferguson, sacrifice and double by Bill Russell added what proved to be the deciding run in the sixth. The Expos collected five hits off Don Sutton, including two doubles by Ron Woods, who scored both Montreal runs.

Pirates 9, Reds 6 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Richie Hebner batted in four runs with a double, homer and sacrifice fly to lead the Pirates' attack in a 9-7 victory over the Reds. Willie Stargell and Manny Sangulllen also homered for the Pirates, who started their scoring with five runs in the third inning, including two on Hebner's double and two on Stargell's homer. Sanguillen and Hebner hit for the circuit in succession in the fifth. Sanguillen tripled and Hebner lofted his sacrifice fly for one of the Pirates' final two tallies in the seventh.

Padres 4, Mets 0 at San Diego (night game):
The Padres scored four runs in the first inning and that was more than enough for Bill Greif, who shut out the Mets, 4-0. Swinging away at Jerry Koosman, the Padres counted their runs on a single by Johnny Grubb, pass to Jerry Morales, single by Fred Kendall, double by Ivan Murrell and single by Dave Roberts.

Giants 2, Phillies 1 at San Francisco (night game):
Helping himself at bat, Ron Bryant doubled in the eighth inning and subsequently scored on a wild pitch to account for his own winning run as the Giants defeated the Phillies, 2-1. Bryant gave up the Phillies' tally in the first on a double by Cesar Tovar and single by Terry Harmon. Willie McCovey tied the score with a homer in the fourth. After Bryant hit his double in the eighth, Bobby Bonds walked, Tito Fuentes sacrificed and Garry Maddox was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Mac Scarce replaced Wayne Twitchell and uncorked a wild pitch, facing McCovey, to allow Bryant to cross the plate.

Cardinals 4, Astros 2 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals posted a 4-2 victory to beat Jerry Reuss for the third time in four meetings since trading the lefthander to the Astros. The Cardinals scored twice in the first inning on singles by Joe Torre and Ted Simmons, a wild pitch and single by Luis Melendez. After the Astros tied the score, Jose Cruz tripled in the fifth and counted on a single by Mike Tyson. Reggie Cleveland sacrificed. Lou Brock was safe when Reuss took his bouncer to the mound and threw late to second, trying to catch Tyson off base. Torre then hit a two-out single to drive in the clinching tally.
