Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 1, Rangers 0 at Baltimore (night game):
Tommy Davis, stretching his batting streak to 17 games, drove in a run with a single in the fourth inning to enable the Orioles to defeat the Rangers, 1-0. Mike Cuellar, winning for the first time since May 26, yielded only three hits. The Orioles' run off Sonny Siebert was unearned, resulting from an error by Jim Mason that allowed Al Bumbry to reach second. Rich Coggins followed with a single, Bumbry stopping at third. After Bobby Grich flied out, Davis drove in the lone run.

Yankees 4, Angels 3 at California (night game):
The Alou brothers, Matty and Felipe, combined for a run in the 10th inning to give the Yankees a 4-3 victory over the Angels. Mel Stottlemyre, who was the winner, beat the Angels for the 12th straight time since June 30, 1967, and for the 19th time in 22 career decisions. Stottlemyre's string of 46 innings of scoreless pitching against the Angels was broken with a run in the first on a walk, infield out, wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Frank Robinson. When the Angels picked up two runs in the seventh for a 3-1 lead, Stottlemyre was in danger of losing, but the Yankees counted once in the eighth and tied the score in the ninth when Jim Ray Hart was safe on an error, Graig Nettles doubled and Thurman Munson singled. In the 10th, Matty Alou singled, took third on a single by Bobby Murcer and scored on a sacrifice fly by Felipe Alou.

Brewers 1, White Sox 0 at Chicago (night game):
A surprise steal of third base by Ellie Rodriguez enabled the Brewers to score without the benefit of a hit in the ninth inning to defeat the White Sox, 1-0, in a duel between Jim Slaton and Wilbur Wood. The victory was the Brewers' seventh in a row. Johnny Briggs walked to open the ninth and Rodriguez was hit by a pitch. Bob Coluccio, attempting to sacrifice, forced Briggs at third. Rodriguez, advancing to second, then pulled off his theft of third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Pedro Garcia.

Royals 7, Indians 2 at Cleveland (night game):
Homers by John Mayberry and Lou Piniella, each with a man on base, helped the Royals defeat the Indians, 7-2, as Paul Splittorff posted his 10th victory of the season. The Royals scored three runs in the third inning on singles by Fran Healy and Steve Hovley, a sacrifice fly by Amos Otis and Mayberry's homer. The Indians drew within reach when Walt Williams singled and George Hendrick hit for the circuit in the fifth, but the Royals pulled away with singletons in the seventh and eighth before Piniella iced the verdict with his round-tripper in the ninth.

Twins 13, Tigers 6 at Detroit (night game):
Bobby Darwin batted in seven runs with two homers and two singles to highlight the Twins' 17-hit attack in a 13-6 victory over the Tigers. Harmon Killebrew drove in four runs with a single and double. The Twins, facing Jim Perry for the first time since trading him to the Tigers, knocked out their former teammate before he could retire a batter in the first inning. The Tigers also swung big bats, collecting 11 hits including homers by Willie Horton, Dick McAuliffe and Aurelio Rodriguez.

A's 8, Red Sox 3 at Oakland (night game):
After the first 11 batters had been retired in order, the Athletics broke loose against Marty Pattin to defeat the Red Sox, 8-3. With Reggie Smith hitting a homer, the Red Sox held a 3-0 lead before Sal Bando singled in the fourth inning to become the A's first baserunner and Reggie Jackson followed with a homer. Gene Tenace tied the score with another round-tripper in the fifth. The A's then loaded the bases and went ahead on a sacrifice fly by Bert Campaneris. Joe Rudi knocked out Pattin with a two-run blast in the sixth.

Braves 8, Cubs 3 at Atlanta (night game):
On the verge of being knocked out in the first inning, Roric Harrison recovered and pitched the Braves to an 8-3 victory over the Cubs. Before retiring a batter, Harrison gave up three runs on a walk and three hits, but the righthander yielded only three more hits the rest of the way. The Braves' comeback was sparked by Darrell Evans and Hank Aaron, who hit homers. Aaron's drive in the fourth inning was the 690th of his career.

Reds 6, Pirates 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
Fred Norman, making his first appearance with the Reds since being acquired from the Padres, pitched a five-hitter and shut out the Pirates, 6-0. The little lefthander achieved his triumph despite having to wait out a 51-minute delay because of rain in the sixth inning. The Reds provided him with a big early lead by scoring five runs in the third on four hits, two walks and two sacrifice flies.

Astros 3, Cardinals 2 at Houston (night game):
With homers accounting for all five runs, the Astros defeated the Cardinals, 3-2. Roger Metzger singled and Tommie Agee homered for the Astros in the third inning. Joe Torre tied the score with a homer behind a walk to Ted Sizemore in the fifth, but Bob Watson then hit for the circuit in the eighth to give the Astros their edge.

Expos 4, Dodgers 3 at Montreal (night game):
The Expos extended their winning streak to seven games when Bob Bailey smashed a tie with a homer in the eighth inning to defeat the Dodgers, 4-3. Ken Singleton drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the sixth to give the Expos a 3-1 lead, but a throwing error by Ernie McAnally set up a run-scoring single by Bill Russell in the seventh and the Dodgers tied the count in the eighth when Bill Buckner doubled and Joe Ferguson singled.

Mets 5, Padres 2 at New York (night game):
A three-run homer by Wayne Garrett in the eighth inning gave the Mets a 5-2 victory over the Padres. Garrett's blow, cracking a 2-2 tie, followed singles by John Milner and Ed Kranepool. Cito Gaston drove in both of the Padres' runs with a single and homer. Singles by Willie Mays and Felix Millan, together with a grounder by Milner, produced the Mets' first run and their second scored on a triple by Jim Fregosi and sacrifice fly by Ron Hodges.

Giants 4, Phillies 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
Willie McCovey greeted the arrival of reliever Mac Scarce by smashing a three-run homer in the 10th inning to enable the Giants to defeat the Phillies, 4-3. Wayne Twitchell, who started for the Phillies, extended his streak of scoreless pitching to 24 innings before being tagged for a homer by Bobby Bonds in the seventh. The Phillies tied the score in their half on a single by Mike Schmidt, sacrifice by Del Unser and double by Mike Anderson. Twitchell was removed for a pinch-hitter in the ninth and Billy Wilson, taking over in the 10th, walked Tito Fuentes and Garry Maddox before yielding to Scarce. The Phillies almost pulled the game out of the fire in theirhalf with two runs on a homer by Greg Luzinski, but Elias Sosa came in and retired Tommy Hutton to save Ron Bryant's 11th victory.
