Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 3, Rangers 1 at Boston (day game):
The Red Sox posted their 11th victory in the last 14 games, defeating the Rangers, 3-1, in a contest stopped by rain after 5½ innings. Dwight Evans decided the outcome with a homer that broke a 1-1 tie in the second.

Orioles 3, White Sox 2 at Chicago (day game):
The Orioles put together four hits and a walk for all their runs in the sixth inning and defeated the White Sox, 3-2. A double by Mark Belanger and single by Al Bumbry started the stanza. After Rich Coggins flied out Paul Blair walked and other runs followed on singles by Tommy Davis and Earl Williams. Mike Cuellar, who hurled the route for the Orioles, gave up singles by Pat Kelly, Carlos May and Bill Melton for a run in the first and then did not yield the other tally until May homered in the eighth.

Angels 6, Tigers 0 at Detroit (day game):
The fifth pitcher in major league history to throw two no-hitters in the same season, Angels' fireballer Nolan Ryan achieved the feat in a 6-0 victory over the Tigers. Ryan tossed his other gem against the Royals May 15. In collaring the Tigers, he walked four and struck out 17.

A's 8, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (day game):
Bill North drove in two runs with a double in the ninth inning and Reggie Jackson homered for two more runs as the Athletics rallied to defeat the Brewers, 8-5. The Brewers had a four-run inning of their own in the third when George Scott tripled with two men on base and Darrell Porter followed with a homer. The A's, who entered the ninth on the short end of a 5-4 score, broke the spell of Chris Short, who had retired 14 batters in a row. Rich McKinney and Bert Campaneris singled with one out before North smashed his double. Then, after two out, Jackson iced the game with his homer.

Twins 7, Indians 6 at Minnesota (day game):
Three walks in the 10th inning, plus a sacrifice fly by Danny Thompson, provided the Twins with a 7-6 victory over the Indians. George Hendrick scored the Indians' first run in the fourth, batted in another in the sixth and then homered with two men on base in the eighth for a 5-3 lead. However, the Twins came roaring back in their half of the eighth with successive circuit clouts by George Mitterwald, Joe Lis and Jim Holt. Buddy Bell singled and drove in the Indians' tying run in the ninth.

Yankees 2, Royals 0 at New York (day game):
Ken Wright held the Yankees to only three hits, but the righthander's throwing error resulted in the Royals losing, 2-0. Horace Clarke drew a pass in the eighth inning and when Matty Alou bunted, Wright threw wildly past first base, allowing Clarke to reach third and Alou to advance to second. With the infield drawn in, Roy White singled past John Mayberry at first, scoring both runners. Sam McDowell and Sparky Lyle, who pitched the ninth in relief, combined to shut out the Royals on four hits.

Reds 3, Mets 1 at Cincinnati (day game):
Willie Mays hit his fourth homer of the season and 658th of his career to save the Mets from a shutout in a 3-1 loss to the Reds. Ross Grimsley pitched a four-hitter for the Reds, who sent him on his way to victory with two runs in the fourth inning on a pass to Joe Morgan, double by Dave Concepcion, single by Johnny Bench, sacrifice by Andy Kosco and sacrifice fly by Bobby Tolan. Concepcion singled in the eighth, stole second and scored the last run on a single by Larry Stahl.

Dodgers 9, Cubs 3 at Los Angeles (day game):
The hitting of Willie Davis and Willie Crawford, who knocked in five runs between them in the third inning, paced the Dodgers to a 9-3 victory over the Cubs. Davis plated a pair with a single and, after Joe Ferguson walked, Crawford smashed a homer. Ferguson and Steve Garvey each batted in two of Dodgers' subsequent runs.

Astros 2, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
Dave Roberts beat the Phillies for the eighth straight time, pitching the Astros to a 2-0 victory in a game stopped by rain after 5½ innings. Cesar Cedeno walked, stole second and scored the first run on a single by Doug Rader in the third inning. Another theft led to the other run in the fifth when Roger Metzger singled, stole second and counted on a single by Bob Watson.

Cardinals 5, Padres 4 at San Diego (day game):
With two out in the 15th inning, Ken Reitz singled and scored on a double by Bernie Carbo to give the Cardinals a 5-4 victory over the Padres. Joe Torre knocked in a run with a single in the first inning and Ted Simmons homered with two men on base in the sixth to put the Cardinals ahead, 4-0, but the Padres picked up a pair in their half of the sixth and knotted the count with homers by Dave Roberts in the eighth and Jerry Morales in the ninth.

Giants 12, Pirates 0 at San Francisco (day game):
Willie McCovey became the 15th player in major league history to reach the 400 total in homers when the Giants' slugger smashed two round-trippers in a 12-0 walloping of the Pirates. The blows were the 400th and 401st of the veteran first baseman's career. Garry Maddox and Ed Goodson also hit homers. Another veteran, Juan Marichal, pitched himself into the spotlight, making his first start since July 3 and pitching his first shutout since April 25.

Braves 6, Expos 1 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves gained their 11th victory in the last 15 games by defeating the Expos, 6-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Ron Schueler. After the Expos picked up their run on a homer by John Boccabella in the second inning, the Braves broke the game wide open with five runs in the third. In succession, Schueler singled, Ralph Garr doubled and Johnny Oates, Darrell Evans and Dusty Baker singled to produce the first three runs. Then, after Davey Johnson walked to load the bases, two more runs were forced in on passes to Frank Tepedino and Marty Perez. Tepedino accounted for the last run with a homer in the fifth.
