Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 4, A's 1 at Boston (night game):
An opposite-field, three-run, fifth-inning homer by Dwight Evans gave the Red Sox a 4-1 decision over the Athletics and enabled Luis Tiant to score a sixth straight complete-game victory. Vida Blue, who suffered his sixth loss in 11 decisions, also went the route. In the big frame, Carlton Fisk walked and scored on singles by Carl Yastrzemski and Rico Petrocelli. Evans' 320-foot blow into the right field stands on an outside pitch followed. The A's tally came in the sixth as Bill North beat out a grounder, took second on Mario Guerrero's low throw and raced home on Reggie Jackson's double. Boston's largest crowd of the season, 28,537, watched the battle of A. L. division leaders.

Rangers 6, Tigers 3 at Detroit (night game):
Ranger Manager Billy Martin, in his first Detroit appearance since the Tigers fired him last August, was given a rousing ovation by a crowd of 22,696, but later booed as the Texans banged out 17 hits, their season's high, and whipped the Bengals, 6-3. The Rangers took a first-inning 3-0 lead as Mike Hargrove doubled home one run and Jim Spencer singled in two more. Duke Sims' two-run homer in the fourth and Toby Harrah's run-producing single in the seventh gave the visitors a 6-0 lead and sent Joe Coleman to his sixth straight defeat. Jackie Brown, in winning his fifth game in seven starts, yielded two runs in the seventh on Norm Cash's run-scoring pinch-triple and Gary Sutherland's single. With one out in the eighth, when Martin relieved Brown, Billy was booed. The Tigers added a harmless run off reliever Steve Foucault in the ninth on an error by Lenny Randle.

Twins 9, Orioles 1 at Minnesota (night game):
The Twins erupted for 15 hits off three Baltimore hurlers to gain an easy 9-1 win for Bill Butler, who relieved starter Ray Corbin when he was hit on the hand by Rich Coggins' first-inning line drive. Dave McNally was bombarded early as the Twins took a 2-0 lead on Eric Soderholm's bases-loaded opening-frame single. After Rod Carew drove in a run with a hit in the fourth, the Minnesotans kayoed the Oriole southpaw and his successor, Don Hood, with a five-run uprising in the sixth. With the bases filled, Tony Oliva sent a pair home with a single, Bobby Darwin tripled for two more and Soderholm plated Bobby with a one-bagger. Glenn Borgmann homered for the Twins' final run in the seventh. Baltimore's lone marker came in the sixth when Tommy Davis tripled and counted on an error by Luis Gomez.

Yankees 7, Angels 5 at New York (night game):
Lou Piniella's eighth-inning double that scored Elliott Maddox, who had walked, broke a 5-5 tie and led the Yanks to a 7-5 victory over the Angels and reliever Skip Lockwood. Piniella then carried home an insurance marker on Bobby Murcer's single. After the Yanks had overcome a 3-0 deficit and taken a 5-3 lead in the fourth, Joe Lahoud's sixth-inning homer and pinch-hitter Winston Llenas' sacrifice fly, which drove in Tommy McCraw, knotted count in the seventh, setting the stage for the New Yorkers' final upsurge.

Phillies 12, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Mike Schmidt drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double and narrowly missed three more on a freak tape-measure single as the Phillies lambasted the Astros, 12-0. With men on first and second in the opening frame, Schmidt hit a towering drive to center, headed for home-run territory. Instead, it struck a loudspeaker suspended from the Astrodome ceiling and was ruled a single, no run scoring. Bill Robinson followed with a double, scoring a pair, and Mike Anderson drove in another with a sacrifice fly. In the second, singles by Willie Montanez, Bob Boone and Dave Cash increased the score to 4-0. Jim York, in relief of Claude Osteen, walked Larry Bowa and Schmidt cleared the sacks with a double. Anderson drove in Schmidt with a single. The Phillies added four more runs in the ninth on base hits by Robinson, Anderson, Billy Grabarkewitz and Montanez.

Cardinals 4, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Joe Torre's 11th-inning homer, followed by Jack Heidemann's single that scored Bake McBride, gave the Cardinals a 4-2 decision over the Dodgers. The loss went to Charlie Hough, while Orlando Pena, in relief of Sonny Siebert, drew the victory. Back-to-back doubles by Ted Sizemore and Reggie Smith accounted for the first St. Louis run in the third, but Jim Wynn deadlocked the issue with his 17th homer, a 400-foot blast, in the fourth. Ted Simmons doubled, stopped at third on Torre's hit and tallied on Luis Melendez' sacrifice fly to give the Cards a 2-1 lead in the sixth. In the home half, the Dodgers evened the count when Wynn singled, stole second and rambled home on Joe Ferguson's single.

Expos 3, Reds 1 at Montreal (night game):
Steve Renko pitched and batted the Expos to a 3-1 victory over the Reds in a game halted by rain with one out in ninth inning. The umpires waited 44 minutes before officially calling the contest. This followed a 51-minute interruption in the eighth frame. After Barry Foote led off the third with a homer, his first since April 19, Renko walked, moved up on Ron Hunt's sacrifice and took third on Tim Foli's single. Steve scored when Cesar Geronimo dropped Willie Davis' fly. Triples by Bob Bailey and Renko gave Montreal its final run in the seventh. The Reds' lone tally came on Geronimo's fifth-inning circuit clout. Renko, in gaining his fourth win in 10 decisions, gave way in the eighth to Chuck Taylor, who picked up his sixth save. The loss was charged to Jack Billingham.

Padres 9, Pirates 8 at San Diego (night game):
Home runs by Cito Gaston and Dave Winfield highlighted a nine-run attack in the last two innings that enabled the Padres to score a come-from behind 9-8 victory over the Pirates. Trailing, 8-0, in the next-to-last frame, San Diego raked three Buc hurlers, Jim Rooker, Bruce Kison and Ramon Hernandez, for four runs with Gaston's homer and Winfield's double supplying the big punch. Triggered by Winfield's ninth homer of the year, the Padres struck again in the ninth for five runs off Dave Giusti and Kent Tekulve, with former Yankee Horace Clarke, in his National League debut, singling home the deciding tally. Two-run round-trippers by Willie Stargell and Manny Sanguillen played a big part as the Buccos built up a huge early lead.
