Today's scores and summaries:

Twins 11, Orioles 4 at Baltimore (day game):
Larry Hisle, Jim Holt and Bobby Darwin hit two-run homers and Steve Braun drove in two runs with a triple to lead the Twins' slugging in an 11-4 victory over the Orioles. Holt also accounted for a third RBI with a single. The Twins exploded for seven runs in a third-inning attack that included Holt's single, Braun's triple and Hisle's homer. Holt added his round-tripper in the fifth and Darwin capped the scoring with a circuit clout in the ninth.

Brewers 8, Angels 6 at California (day game):
The Brewers reached the .500 mark with a 27-27 record by defeating the Angels, 8-6, for their eighth victory in the last nine games. Bob Coluccio provided the winning homer when the Brewers broke a 4-4 tie with four runs in the seventh inning. Dave May led off with a single and, after a sacrifice and an intentional pass, Ellie Rodriguez singled to score May. Coluccio followed with his three-run smash to beat Bill Singer.

[DH] White Sox 5, Indians 3 (day game) / Indians 6, White Sox 5 at Cleveland (day game):
The Indians snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader after losing the opener to the White Sox, 5-3. Both games were decided in the ninth inning. In the lidlifter, after Johnny Jeter and Eddie Leon hit singles, Rick Reichardt came up as a pinch-hitter for the White Sox with two out and smashed the winning homer. Earlier in the game, Bill Sharp hit his first major league homer for the White Sox, while George Hendrick whacked one for the Indians. In the second game, the Indians ended their losing streak when Buddy Bell beat out an infield hit in the ninth. Jack Brohamer walked, Hendrick sacrificed and John Ellis hit the first pitch by reliever Terry Forster for a single to drive in the winning run.

Royals 7, Yankees 4 at Kansas City (day game):
Snapping a five-game losing streak, the Royals broke a 2-2 tie with five runs in the fourth inning and defeated the Yankees, 7-4. John Mayberry rapped a homer to help effect the tie before the Royals put together their big inning on five hits, two walks and a sacrifice fly. Freddie Patek drove in two runs with a double. The Yankees picked up their final pair in the ninth when Graig Nettles doubled and Thurman Munson homered.

A's 5, Tigers 0 at Oakland (day game):
The Athletics shut out the Tigers for the second straight game, posting a 5-0 victory behind the three-hit pitching of Catfish Hunter. The A's knocked out Joe Coleman in the fifth inning during the course of collecting a total of 11 hits.

Red Sox 10, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
Continuing his red-hot hitting, Carlton Fisk batted in four runs with a homer and sacrifice fly as the Red Sox trounced the Rangers, 10-1, to reach the .500 mark for the first time since April 18. The Red Sox record was 26-26. Fisk, who also hit a single, had 14 RBIs and four homers to show for a stretch of five games.

[DH] Cardinals 4, Braves 3 (day game) / Braves 5, Cardinals 2 at Atlanta (day game):
Dramatic relief work by Wayne Granger enabled the Cardinals to win the opening game of a doubleheader, 4-3, but the Braves came back behind the pitching of Roric Harrison, who allowed only one hit in eight innings, to win the second game, 5-2. Ted Simmons drove in three of the Cardinals' runs in the lidlifter with a sacrifice fly and single. The Braves had the bases loaded with two out in the ninth when Granger was summoned to face Hank Aaron. Hammerin' Hank fouled off eight straight pitches as the tension built up before flying out to end the game. In the nightcap, Harrison hit a homer in his own behalf to start the Braves' scoring in the third inning. Ken Reitz tripled in the sixth for the only hit off Harrison and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jose Cruz. Harrison was lifted after walking Ted Sizemore in the ninth and the Cards added their other run after Danny Frisella relieved on a single by Joe Torre and sacrifice fly by Luis Melendez.

Cubs 9, Reds 7 at Chicago (day game):
Rick Monday, Pat Bourque and Ron Santo hit homers for the Cubs in the first inning and Monday connected for the circuit again on his next trip to the plate in the second to mark a 9-7 victory over the Reds. Monday led off with his first homer and, after Billy Williams doubled, Bourque and Santo rapped their round-trippers in succession. In the second, Burt Hooton singled before Monday hit his second homer. Glenn Beckert doubled and subsequently scored on a sacrifice fly by Bourque. Don Kessinger then provided the Cubs with their winning margin, driving in runs in the third and fifth innings. The Reds' attack included homers by Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench.

Astros 7, Pirates 1 at Houston (day game):
After getting only one hit in three games since returning from injury, Cesar Cedeno exploded at bat with two homers to lead the Astros to a 7-1 victory over the Pirates. Cedeno connected for the circuit with a man on base in the first inning and followed with a three-run drive in the eighth. Jim Wynn also homered for the Astros, while the Pirates' only run off Jerry Reuss counted on doubles by Gene Clines and Richie Zisk.

Expos 7, Giants 6 at Montreal (day game):
Completing a sweep of the three-game series, the Expos defeated the Giants, 7-6, to reach the .500 level with a 25-25 record, marking the first time in its five year history that the expansion club could boast such a showing this late in a season. Mike Jorgensen drove in three of the Expos' first five runs with a homer and a bases-loaded single. Bobby Bonds batted in two runs for the Giants with a single in the second inning and Willie McCovey homered in the third. Bonds hit a sacrifice fly when the Giants tied the score at 5-5 in the seventh. The Expos broke away in the eighth. Bob Bailey and Tim Foli singled. Ron Woods walked to load the bases and Boots Day snapped the tie with a two-run single. As a result, the Expos were able to shrug off a homer by Dave Rader for the Giants in the ninth.

Dodgers 4, Mets 0 at New York (day game):
Claude Osteen yielded only three hits and pitched the Dodgers to a 4-0 victory over the Mets. Joe Ferguson decided the outcome by hitting a homer off Jerry Koosman in the second inning. The Dodgers added a run on a triple by Willie Davis and sacrifice fly by Ron Cey in the sixth and completed their scoring with two in the ninth on a single by Osteen, double by Davey Lopes, sacrifice fly by Bill Buckner and single by Ferguson.

Phillies 11, Padres 0 at Philadelphia (day game):
Wayne Twitchell not only posted his second straight shutout, beating the Padres, 11-0, but the Phillies' righthander also ended a personal 0-for-30 batting slump with two singles and a double. Twitchell started swinging away with a single that drove in the first of the Phillies' three runs in the second inning.
