Today's scores and summaries:

Royals 10, Angels 2 at California (day game):
Starting with a two-run homer by John Mayberry in the sixth inning, the Royals batted their way to a 10-2 victory over the Angels. After Mayberry's smash, the Royals erupted for five runs in the seventh and added three in the eighth. Vada Pinson batted in three runs and Amos Otis and Cookie Rojas accounted for a pair apiece.

Orioles 12, Indians 1 at Cleveland (day game):
The Orioles set a Baltimore club record for most hits in a game with 22, including 5-for-5 by Belanger, and walloped the Indians, 12-1. The former club mark was 20 hits in nine innings and 21 in extra innings. Paul Blair and Don Baylor each had four hits, while Jim Fuller smashed two homers and drove in three runs. Bobby Grich also connected for the circuit. Mike Cuellar, who limited the Indians to five hits, lost his bid for a shutout on a homer by George Hendrick.

Red Sox 8, Tigers 5 at Detroit (day game):
John Hiller, who had won five games in relief, was pinned with his first loss of the season when the Red Sox defeated the Tigers, 8-5. Joe Coleman, who started for the Tigers, was staked to a 4-0 lead, but Hiller took over in the fifth inning after Tommy Harper and Carlton Fisk each singled a run home for the Red Sox. Hiller walked Rico Petrocelli with the bases loaded to force in another run before the inning ended. Two unearned runs, scoring on a single by Fisk after an error by Gary Sutherland, put the Red Sox ahead in the sixth, but the Tigers tied the score with a run-producing single by Willie Horton in the seventh. In the eighth, Fisk singled with two out and steamed home on a double by Carl Yastrzemski. When the throw from Ed Brinkman on the relay from the outfield hit Fisk and bounced away, Yastrzemski also crossed the plate. The Red Sox iced the decision with another unearned run in the ninth.

Brewers 3, Yankees 2 at New York (day game):
Dave May, who hit a two-run homer in the second inning, also singled and scored in the seventh to help the Brewers end a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Yankees. Darrell Porter was hit by a pitch before May homered. Chris Chambliss got one run back for the Yankees with a round-tripper in the second, but May's single, a sacrifice and single by Ken Berry added what proved to be the Brewers' deciding run in the seventh. The Yankees chased Jim Slaton with a run in the eighth, but Tom Murphy, relieving with two men on base, ended the threat by retiring Bill Sudakis on a fly to center field.

A's 4, Twins 1 at Oakland (day game):
The relief pitching of Rollie Fingers, who rescued Ken Holtzman from a jam in the sixth inning, enabled the Athletics to defeat the Twins, 4-1. After Rod Carew singled and Tony Oliva doubled for the Twins' run, Holtzman walked Harmon Killebrew before leaving the game with one out. Fingers relieved and on his first pitch Eric Soderholm grounded into a double play. A double by Gene Tenace, triple by Bert Campaneris and homer by Deron Johnson were among the A's run-scoring hits. Two A's, Reggie Jackson and Dal Maxvill, suffered disabling injuries. Jackson pulled the hamstring in his right leg and Maxvill, playing in his second game after returning to the A's as a free agent following his release by the Pirates, was spiked on the left shin in a play at second base.

Rangers 3, White Sox 2 at Texas (night game):
The Rangers snapped their six-game losing streak behind the pitching of David Clyde, who scattered eight hits in a route-going performance and beat the White Sox, 3-2. The Rangers scored twice in the first inning on a walk to Cesar Tovar, double by Toby Harrah and single by Tom Grieve. The White Sox came back with their pair in the fourth. Singles by Dick Allen, Bill Melton and Ron Santo produced the first run and a second crossed the plate as Carlos May grounded into a double play. The Rangers then broke the tie in the fifth. Tovar singled, took third on a single by Harrah and scored when Jim Kaat threw wildly to second in an attempt to start a double play on a grounder to the mound by Alex Johnson.

Giants 8, Braves 7 at Atlanta (day game):
Appearing in his fifth game since returning to action, Tito Fuentes drove in three runs for his first RBIs of the season to help the Giants defeat the Braves, 8-7. After falling behind, 2-0, the Giants erupted for six runs on six hits and two errors in the sixth inning. Fuentes capped the outburst with a two-run double. The Braves came back with a run in the seventh, but Fuentes accounted for his third RBI with a single in the eighth and another run, which proved decisive, scored on an error by Ralph Garr.

Mets 6, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
For the first time this season, the Mets hit three homers in one game to enable Craig Swan to beat the Cubs, 6-3, for the first victory of his major league career. Swan, who joined in the Mets' attack with three singles, pitched only six innings. After rain delayed the game for 40 minutes at that point, Ray Sadecki took over the pitching and gave up the Cubs' three runs on a double by Carmen Fanzone, single by Jerry Morales, sacrifice fly by George Mitterwald and homer by Andre Thornton. Cleon Jones, Don Hahn and Rusty Staub rapped round-trippers for the Mets. Jones produced the Mets' first run in the fourth. Hahn opened the fifth with his homer and, after a single by Swan, Ken Frailing retired the next two batters before serving up a gopher pitch to Staub.

Astros 4, Reds 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Although off in his control, walking five, Tom Griffin yielded only four hits and struck out 12 while pitching the Astros to a 4-2 victory over the Reds. The Astros bunched singles by Greg Gross, Lee May and Milt May with a pass to Cesar Cedeno for two runs in the first inning, but the Reds came hack with their pair in the home half on walks to Pete Rose and Joe Morgan and a double by Johnny Bench. The Astros went ahead with the deciding run in the fourth on a pass to Milt May, double by Doug Rader and sacrifice fly by Tommy Helms before adding an insurance run on four singles in the seventh.

Expos 3, Cardinals 1 at Montreal (night game):
Bob Bailey hit a two-run homer in support of Steve Renko, who turned in his first complete game of the season and pitched the Expos to a 3-1 victory over the Cardinals. The Expos scored a run in the third inning on singles by Renko, Tim Foli and Willie Davis before Ron Fairly singled in the fourth and Bailey hit his decisive homer. The Cardinals counted their lone run in the seventh on a double by Tom Heintzelman and single by Bake McBride.

Phillies 3, Pirates 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
While Steve Carlton pitched a five-hitter, Mike Schmidt batted in two runs with a homer and sacrifice fly to lead the Phillies to a 3-1 victory over the Pirates. Schmidt connected for the circuit in the second inning before the Pirates picked up an unearned run off Carlton on a throwing error by Bob Boone in the fourth. The Phillies regained the lead in their half with a run on a double by Greg Luzinski, grounder by Willie Montanez and Schmidt's sacrifice fly.

Dodgers 9, Padres 6 at San Diego (night game):
In a power display, Jim Wynn hit three homers, as well as a single with the bases loaded, to account for five runs batted in as the Dodgers defeated the Padres, 9-6. Wynn's wallops, each with the bases bare, came in the first, fifth and seventh innings, making the Toy Cannon only the second player to hit three homers in one game in the Dodgers' Los Angeles history. Don Demeter previously achieved the feat in 1959. Willie Crawford also homered for the Dodgers. Wynn hit his single in the second when the Dodgers piled up five runs. The Padres had a two-run homer by Nate Colbert in the fourth and made the game close with a four-run rally in the fifth.
