Orioles 2, Brewers 0 at Baltimore (night game):
Allowing only three hits, Mike Cuellar pitched the Orioles to a 2-0 victory over the Brewers. The Orioles decided Cuellar's duel with Jim Slaton by scoring a run on a walk to Ken Singleton, sacrifice by Paul Blair and single by Don Baylor in the sixth inning. Elrod Hendricks provided more elbow room with a homer in the seventh.

Rangers 14, White Sox 4 at Chicago (day game):
Stepping in after Jim Bibby was kayoed in the first inning, Jim Umbarger pitched shutout ball and gained his first major league victory when the Rangers trounced the White Sox, 14-4. The Rangers started the game with three runs off Wilbur Wood in the first, but Bibby retired only one batter in the White Sox half, giving up four runs on two walks, a single by Bill Melton, an error and triple by Carlos May. Umbarger, a lefthander from Arizona State who pitched for Pittsfield (Eastern) last season, took over and handcuffed the White Sox on five hits over the next 7 2/3 innings before yielding the mound to Jim Merritt in the ninth. The Rangers exploded for five runs in the third, two scoring on a homer by Jeff Burroughs, and breezed the rest of the way behind an 18-hit attack that also included a circuit clout by Willie Davis.

Harmon Killebrew hit his first homer in a Kansas City uniform and 560th of his career to start the Royals' scoring in a 6-2 victory over the Athletics. After Killebrew's blast tied the score at 1-1 in the second inning, the Royals went ahead in the third when Amos Otis singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by John Mayberry.

Bobby Darwin, Craig Kusick and Larry Hisle each hit two-run doubles as the Twins ended their five-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory over the Angels. Darwin doubled in the first inning to help the Twins get off to a four-run lead. Kusick added a pair with his two-bagger in the third. Hisle's double came in the sixth when the Twins capped their scoring. Darwin hit a sacrifice fly during that stanza for his third RBI of the game. Morris Nettles collected three of the Angels' 10 hits off Bert Blyleven and batted in two runs.

Red Sox 4, Yankees 2 at New York (day game):

Lynn was on base with a single when Yastrzemski hit for the circuit in the first inning. Lynn then homered in the third and again in the fifth. Wise gave up a run on three singles in the second, stopped the Yankees with the bases loaded in the seventh and yielded a homer by Walt Williams in the the ninth.
