Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 11, Yankees 7 at Boston (day game):
Knocking out Catfish Hunter, the Red Sox erupted for five runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Yankees, 11-7. The loss, however, went to Sparky Lyle. Dwight Evans hit a homer off Hunter, but the Yankees had two circuit clouts by Roy White, good for three runs, to help them take a 7-3 lead. Pinch-hitter Cecil Cooper sparked the Red Sox rally with a triple in the seventh and scored on a single by Bernie Carbo. Lyle then replaced Hunter, but failed in relief. Evans walked and Fred Lynn and Jim Rice singled, cutting the Yankees' lead to 7-6. Dick Tidrow took over for Lyle and was greeted with a double by Bob Montgomery, driving in the tying and leading runs. The Red Sox then iced their victory with three runs in the eighth on a bases-loaded double by Lynn.

Angels 4, Rangers 1 at California (night game):
After serving up a homer by Mike Hargrove with two out in the first inning, Bill Singer yielded only five singles over the remainder of the route and pitched the Angels to a 4-1 victory over the Rangers. The Angels decided the outcome with two runs in the fifth. Singles by Jerry Remy and Morris Nettles around a sacrifice produced the first tally. Nettles took third on a wild throw by left fielder Joe Lovitto and crossed the plate on a single by Tommy Harper.

Indians 4, Tigers 3 at Detroit (day game):
Driving in two runs apiece, George Hendrick and Jack Brohamer batted the Indians to a 4-3 victory over the Tigers. Tommy McCraw opened the game with a single, advanced on an infield out, stole third and scored on a single by Hendrick. Oscar Gamble doubled and Brohamer homered in the fourth before the Indians added their deckiding run on doubles by Leron Lee and Hendrick in the fifth.

Brewers 8, Orioles 5 at Milwaukee (night game):
Bobby Mitchell, who replaced Hank Aaron as the Brewers' designated hitter, slammed two doubles and scored two runs in an 8-5 victory over the Orioles. Aaron asked manager del Crandall for a couple days' rest after batting only .114 in his first 11 games. The Brewers, after trailing, 4-0, erupted for four runs in a sixth-inning rally that included doubles by Don Money and Mitchell and a two-run single by George Scott. After each club tallied in the seventh, Mitchell opened the eighth with his second double and scored the tie-breaking run on a two-bagger by Sixto Lezcano.

A's 3, Royals 2 at Oakland (night game):
The Athletics had to call on four pitchers before edging the Royals, 3-2. Vida Blue was working on a four-hit shutout when he was lifted with two out in the seventh inning. Rollie Fingers, who relieved, was chased in the eighth when the Royals scored their two runs on a double by Jim Wohlford, pass to John Mayberry and double by Hal McRae. Paul Lindblad came in to retire one batter and Jim Todd worked the rest of the way to receive credit for the save.

Braves 5, Reds 4 at Atlanta (night game):
A long double by Larvell Blanks with two out in the 11th inning scored Mike Lum from first base and gave the Braves a 5-4 victory over the Reds. Vic Correll and Darrell Evans each hit a two-run homer to stake the Braves to a 4-1 lead before Dave Concepcion doubled, Joe Morgan walked and Johnny Bench hit for the circuit to tie the score in the fifth. Lum walked in the 11th before carrying the winning run home on Blanks' blow.

Cubs 9, Phillies 3 at Chicago (day game):
Bill Madlock hit a double and single, driving in four runs, and George Mitterwald and Rick Monday contributed homers as the Cubs defeated the Phillies, 9-3. Willie Montanez accounted for two Phillies' runs with a round-tripper.

[DH] Astros 3, Giants 2 (night game) / Giants 3, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Posting his first major league shutout, Pete Falcone pitched the Giants to a 3-0 victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader for a split with the Astros, who won the opener, 3-2. Doug Konieczny, who lost three games last season and two this year, was a winner for the first time in the lidlifter. The Astros reached John Montefusco for two runs in the second inning on a single by Jose Cruz, triple by Ken Boswell and squeeze bunt by Roger Metzger. What proved to be the deciding run followed in the fourth when Cruz singled, took third on a single by Boswell and scored on a sacrifice fly by Metzger. In the nightcap, Gary Thomasson, hitless in 19 previous trips this season, smashed a homer in the Giants' support of Falcone's pitching.

Expos 5, Pirates 0 at Montreal (day game):
Woodie Fryman, who started his major league career with Pittsburgh in 1966 and '67, pitched the Expos to a 5-0 victory for his second shutout of the Pirates in eight days. Fryman went from the Pirates to the Phillies and then to the Tigers before coming back to the N. L. with the Expos this year. The Expos scored all their runs off Jerry Reuss in the first two innings. Tim Foli walked, stole second and crossed the plate on an error in the first. A single by Pete Mackanin, pass to Bombo Rivera and singles by Fryman, Pepe Mangual and Mike Jorgensen, together with an error by Al Oliver, accounted for the remaining tallies in the second.

Mets 7, Cardinals 1 at New York (day game):
A grand slam by Rusty Staub climaxed a six-run explosion in the fifth inning as the Mets defeated the Cardinals, 7-1. Wayne Garrett batted in two runs with a bases-loaded double before an intentional pass to Del Unser filled the sacks again and set the stage for Staub's smash off Bob Gibson. Unser accounted for the Mets' last run with a homer off Al Hrabosky in the seventh. Tom Seaver held the Cardinals to four hits with their lone run crossing the plate on three singles in the third inning.

Padres 7, Dodgers 1 at San Diego (night game):
Playing before 43,478 fans, second largest crowd in San Diego history, the Padres defeated the Dodgers, 7-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Joe McIntosh. The Padres built up a 3-0 lead before delighting their rooters with a four-run outburst in the fifith inning. Johnny Grubb walked, Willie McCovey doubled and Dave Winfield drew an intentional pass to set the stage for a two-run single by Mike Ivie and two-run double by Randy Hundley.
