Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 10, A's 9 at Boston (night game):
The Red Sox, who scored their first four runs on three homers before crossing the plate five times in the seventh, added another run on the speed of Juan Beniquez in the eighth that proved decisive in a 10-9 victory over the Athletics. Rick Miller, Cecil Cooper and Carlton Fisk were the homer hitters, Miller's blow coming with a man on base. The Red Sox outburst in the seventh, breaking a 4-4 tie, included five hits, plus a walk, sacrifice fly and error. Dick McAuliffe singled in the eighth and was forced by Beniquez. Running with the pitch, Beniquez pulled Dick Green over to cover second and Tommy Harper grounded a 150-foot single into short right field on which Beniquez sped home. The A's rallied for five runs in the ninth. Bob Veale, who took over with one out and gave up a two-run single by Deron Johnson, then saved the game by striking out both Gene Tenace and Angel Mangual.

Indians 6, White Sox 0 at Chicago (night game):
Jim Perry won the 199th game of his career, pitching the Indians to a 6-0 victory over the White Sox, Coupled with brother Gaylord's 187 triumphs, the two Perrys had a total of 386 victories, equalling the all-time brother record set before the turn of century by John, Walter and Arthur Clarkson. The White Sox committed five errors. The Indians' first two tallies were unearned before they ripped into Stan Bahnsen for their other runs, handing the White Sox starter his fifth straight defeat.

Tigers 8, Rangers 6 at Detroit (night game):
A homer by Mickey Stanley with two men on base in the eighth inning proved the decisive blow for the Tigers in an 8-6 victory over the Rangers. Willie Horton also homered for the Tigers, accounting for their initial run in the second. Gary Sutherland drove in two runs with a single in the fifth and Horton added a sacrifice fly. Al Kaline then put the Tigers ahead, 5-3, with a run-producing double in the seventh. Jeff Burroughs homered for the Rangers in the eighth. In the Tigers' half, Aurelio Rodriguez doubled, Ed Brinkman walked and Stanley rapped his round-tripper to make losers out of the Rangers even though they rallied for two runs in the ninth before Jim Ray retired the last batter to save the game.

Royals 1, Brewers 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Al Fitzmorris, the only Royals' pitcher with a shutout to his credit this season, turned in his second straight and beat the Brewers, 1-0. The Royals scored their run off Clyde Wright in the third inning. Fran Healy singled and was forced by Fred Patek, who took third on a single by Cookie Rojas and crossed the plate on another single by Amos Otis.

Orioles 4, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Jim Palmer was able to end his personal seven-game losing streak when the Orioles defeated the Twins, 4-2. Palmer allowed only four hits before being removed after walking two batters with one out in the seventh inning. Steve Braun singled off reliever Grant Jackson to drive in the Twins' first run. The Orioles also called on Bob Reynolds in the eighth when the Twins scored again on a single by Craig Kusick, double by Larry Hisle and infield out by Eric Soderholm. Brooks Robinson homered for the Orioles in the second and Tommy Davis batted in two runs with a single in the third. Singles by Rich Coggins and Davis and a sacrifice fly by Bobby Grich added a run in the seventh.

Angels 5, Yankees 4 at New York (night game):
Making up for a costly error, Denny Doyle batted in a run with a single in the seventh inning to give the Angels a 5-4 victory over the Yankees to snap their five-game losing streak. The Angels, who had a homer by Joe Lahoud, took a 4-0 lead before a single by Thurman Munson, a walk and Doyle's error loaded the bases in the fifth and Bill Sudakis followed with the first grand slam of his major league career to tie the score. Mickey Rivers singled in the seventh, advanced on a passed ball and scored when Doyle wiped out his error with the decisive single.

Braves 4, Mets 3 at Atlanta (night game):
A wild throw by Bob Apodaca on a bunt in the 11th inning allowed the Braves to score the run that beat the Mets, 4-3. Johnny Oates led off with a single and stopped at second on another hit by Craig Robinson. Frank Tepedino then bunted and when Apodaca threw the ball past first base, Oates crossed the plate to end the game. The advertised pitching duel between Buzz Capra, formerly with the Mets, and Tom Seaver drew a crowd of 45,296, but Capra, who had pitched 25 scoreless innings, was kayoed in the second after giving up three runs. The Braves came back with a homer by Mike Lum in their half of the second and another run in the sixth on a triple by Ralph Garr and grounder by Dusty Baker before Oates tied the score with a homer in the seventh.

Astros 10, Phillies 1 at Houston (night game):
Exploding with a vengeance, the Astros scored 10 runs in the seventh inning, including a grand-slam homer by Cesar Cedeno, to wallop the Phillies, 10-1. Dick Ruthven, who started for the Phillies, allowed only three hits in the first six innings and had a 1-0 lead before the roof fell in. Bob Watson led off with a single and scored on a double by Lee May. After an intentional pass to Milt May, Doug Rader singled to drive in Lee May. Another intentional pass to Tommy Helms loaded the bases and Greg Gross knocked in two runs with a single. The Phillies then walked Roger Metzger purposely to fill sacks again. Cedeno, taking the move as an insult, swung at Ruthven's first pitch to him and connected for his grand slam. The Astros went on to add two more runs on a double by Rader off reliever Frank Linzy before Helms, coming up as the 14th batter, flied out to end the inning.

Cardinals 1, Dodgers 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
An unearned run resulting from catcher's interference by Steve Yeager enabled the Cardinals to defeat the Dodgers, 1-0, in a duel between Lynn McGlothen and Andy Messersmith. With two out in the sixth inning, Yeager interfered with a swing by Lou Brock, who was awarded first base. Ted Sizemore singled, sending Brock to third, and Bake McBride followed with a single to drive in the lone run. McGlothen, after retiring Jim Wynn on a pop-up with the bases loaded in the seventh, was lifted with two men on base in the ninth and Al Hrabosky struck out Tom Paciorek to save the game.

Expos 16, Reds 6 at Montreal (night game):
Tying the Expos' club record for most RBIs in one game, Willie Davis drove in seven runs with a pair of homers, including a grand slam, to lead the attack in a 16-6 rout of Reds. John Bateman in 1970 and Bob Bailey in 1973 previously had seven RBIs in one game for the Expos. Mike Jorgensen hit a homer for the Expos in the first, but the Reds were leading, 5-1, when Ron Fairly singled with one away in the seventh and was forced by Bailey. Jim Cox walked and Barry Foote singled to score Bailey. Following a pass to Ron Woods, loading the bases, Jorgensen batted in one run with a single and Tim Foli added two more with another single before Davis came to bat and homered with two men on base to climax the seven-run inning. Outdoing that effort, the Expos erupted for eight more runs in the eighth, four of them coming on Davis' grand slam off Mike McQueen and two more scoring on a homer by Fairly.

Pirates 5, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
The Pirates, who were held scoreless by Randy Jones in the first six innings, broke away in the last three frames to defeat the Padres, 5-2. Derrel Thomas singled with the bases loaded to produce the Padres' runs off Ken Brett in the sixth. The Pirates came back immediately with the tying pair in the seventh and then took the lead in the eighth when Richie Zisk walked and Willie Stargell and Al Oliver singled. Gene Clines drove in the last two runs with a bases-loaded single in the ninth.

Cubs 7, Giants 4 at San Francisco (night game):
Horacio Pina, who relieved with the bases loaded and two out in the eighth inning, retired Dave Kingman on a pop fly to save the Cubs' 7-4 victory over the Giants. Don Kessinger drove in two of the Cubs' runs and Jerry Morales, who collected three hits, batted in one run and scored one. Chris Speier had two RBIs for the Giants.
