Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Angels 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Although Nolan Ryan struck out 11 to raise his league-leading total to 203, the Angels' righthander lost to the Orioles, 7-1. Ryan, who pitched six innings, walked six and gave up six runs, including a two-run homer by Boog Powell and three singles by Tommy Davis. Mike Cuellar, on the mound for the Orioles, allowed 10 hits, but the Angels' only run was unearned.

Yankees 2, White Sox 1 at Chicago (day game):
With ninth-inning help from Sparky Lyle, Fritz Peterson was able to break his personal four-game losing streak when the Yankees defeated the White Sox, 2-1. Lyle put down a White Sox threat after taking over with two men on base and none out in the final frame. Ron Blomberg homered for the Yankees' initial run in the second and the deciding tally followed in the fourth on a double by Hal Lanier and single by Horace Clarke. The White Sox scored in the next stanza on a double by Bill Melton and single by Ken Henderson.

A's 9, Indians 3 at Cleveland (day game):
Winning for the ninth straight time, Catfish Hunter pitched the Athletics to a 9-3 victory over the Indians. Hunter gave up homers by Jack Brohamer and George Hendrick, accounting for the Indians' runs, but allowed only two other hits. Sal Bando hit a round-tripper for the A's and Bill North joined in the attack with three singles.

Tigers 14, Rangers 2 at Detroit (night game):
Jim Northrup batted in eight runs with a productive performance that saw the Tigers' outfielder score his 500th run and account for his 500th RBI in a 14-2 trouncing of the Rangers. Northrup drove in eight runs in one game previously May 24, 1968, when he hit two grand-slams against the Indians. This time, he started with an RBI on a grounder with the bases loaded in the second inning, hit a three-run homer in the third, followed with another three-run smash in the sixth and added his eighth RBI with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Duke Sims and Dick McAuliffe also homered for the Tigers and Willie Horton drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double.

Brewers 8, Royals 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
Eduardo Rodriguez, Brewers' rookie righthander from Evansville (American Association), pitched a five-hitter and beat the Royals, 8-1, for his second straight victory. Darrell Porter led the Brewers' attack, hitting a homer with two aboard in the second inning and then drawing a walk with the bases loaded in the third for his fourth RBI.

Twins 3, Red Sox 0 at Minnesota (day game):
Bert Blyleven, who leads the major leagues in shutouts, pitched his seventh of the season as the Twins defeated the Red Sox, 3-0. The Twins staked their ace to a two-run lead in the first inning on singles by Rod Carew and Bobby Darwin and a double by Tony Oliva. Singles by George Mitterwald, Danny Walton and Jerry Terrell added the other run in the fourth.

Dodgers 3, Cardinals 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Although collecting only three hits off Bob Gibson, the Dodgers were able to defeat the Cardinals, 3-1. Bill Buckner walked and Willie Davis homered off Gibson in the first inning. Davey Lopes walked in the fifth, stole second and scored on a single by Buckner. The Cardinals, who had seven hits off Don Sutton, scored their only run in the seventh on singles by Ted Simmons, Jose Cruz and Mike Tyson.

Expos 4, Reds 3 at Montreal (night game):
Making up for two errors, Hal Breeden singled in the seventh inning and drove in what proved to be the Expos' deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the Reds. Breeden's errors led to two unearned runs for the Reds, but a walk to the Expos' first baseman in the sixth, a triple by Bob Bailey and sacrifice fly by Ken Singleton knotted the count. Pepe Frias tripled in the seventh and Steve Renko helped himself with a double. Breeden followed with his single. As a result, the Reds still were one run short when Bobby Tolan homered in the eighth.

Astros 7, Mets 1 at New York (day game):
The Astros, who were held to one hit by Jon Matlack in the previous night's game, found another lefthander more to their liking and rapped Jerry Koosman for nine hits and six runs in the first five innings to defeat the Mets, 7-1. Astros' blows included a two-run homer by Lee May.

Phillies 6, Braves 5 at Philadelphia (night game):
Two tape-measure homers by Greg Luzinski, who drove in three runs, helped the Phillies end their five-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Braves. Bob Boone also batted in three runs with a double and single. Dusty Baker led the Braves to a 5-2 lead, driving in a run with a double in the first inning and three with a homer in the third. Luzinski's first homer of the game, two walks and a single by Boone cut the Phillies' deficit in the sixth. Willie Montanez then doubled in the seventh and Luzinski hit his second homer for the winning blow.

Pirates 10, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
Willie Stargell smashed the 302nd homer of his career with the Pirates, setting the Pittsburgh club record, to mark a 10-2 victory over the Padres. The former club mark of 301 homers was held by Ralph Kiner. Al Oliver also homered for the Pirates, who picked up singletons in each of first five innings before icing their victory with five runs in the ninth.

Giants 7, Cubs 3 at San Francisco (day game):
Ed Goodson smashed two homers and Gary Matthews hit one to pace the Giants' attack in a 7-3 victory over the Cubs. Goodson's first blow and a circuit clout by Billy Williams for the Cubs helped fashion a 2-2 tie before the Giants erupted for five runs in the seventh inning. Walks to Dave Rader and Dave Kingman, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Tito Fuentes produced the tie-breaking tally. Garry Maddox hit a run-scoring single. Goodson and Matthews then homered in succession.
