Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Indians 3, Orioles 0 (night game) / Orioles 3, Indians 2 at Baltimore (night game):
After being shutout by Gaylord Perry in the first game, 3-0, the Orioles put together four successive singles with two out in the ninth inning to beat the Indians, 3-2, in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader. Perry yielded only five hits in the lidlifter. Jack Brohamer homered for the Indians in the third inning and their two other runs counted in the sixth on a double by Ken Berry, single by manager Frank Robinson and double by Rico Carty. In the nightcap, Paul Blair homered for the Orioles in the fourth, but the Indians tied the score on a double by Oscar Gamble and single by Carty in the eighth before going ahead in the ninth with singles by Leron Lee and Brohamer and an infield out by Frank Duffy. Coming back in their half, the Orioles chased Dick Bosman after two out with singles by Ken Singleton and Elrod Hendricks. Tom Buskey, relieving, could not get the final out. Jim Northrup singled to drive in the tying run and Al Bumbry followed with a single for the winning tally.

Angels 1, A's 0 at California (night game):
Frank Tanana and Don Kirkwood combined on a one-hitter as the Angels defeated the Athletics, 1-0, for their second straight shutout victory over the defending world champions. Ray Fosse singled off Tanana in the sixth inning for the A's lone hit. Kirkwood relieved with one out in the seventh after Claudell Washington walked and took second on a passed ball. Kirkwood set down the next five batters, gave up a walk to Don Hopkins in the ninth and then retired the side. Orlando Ramirez scored the Angels' run in the third, hitting a single, stealing second, continuing to third on a wild throw by catcher Fosse and scoring on a single by Mickey Rivers.

Tigers 3, Red Sox 2 at Detroit (day game):
Errors by Gary Sutherland and Vern Ruhle that resulted in two unearned runs forced the Tigers to travel 10 innings before beating the Red Sox, 3-2. Willie Horton accounted for the first two Tiger tallies with singles, sending Ron LeFlore across the plate in the first and third innings. In the 10th, Tom Veryzer singled and moved up on a sacrifice by Aurelio Rodriguez. After LeFlore flied out, Sutherland made up for his error with a single that drove in the winning run.

Royals 8, White Sox 6 at Kansas City (day game):
Amos Otis celebrated his 28th birthday with a homer, double and single as the Royals defeated the White Sox, 8-6. Vada Pinson also had a homer for the Royals and scored four times. The Royals bunched five hits, including triples by Pinson and George Brett and a double by Tony Solaita, for three runs in the first inning. Pinson's homer came in the second and Otis hit for the circuit following a pass to Pinson in the fifth. John Mayberry singled, driving in Pinson and Otis, to produce the Royals' winning margin in the sixth.

Rangers 7, Twins 2 at Minnesota (day game):
Jim Sundberg batted in four runs and Jeff Burroughs accounted for two as the Rangers defeated the Twins, 7-2. Burroughs homered in the fourth inning and, after Vic Albury issued two passes, Sundberg hit for the circuit. Sundberg added his fourth RBI with a squeeze bunt in the sixth and Burroughs drove in another run with a single in the seventh.

Yankees 10, Brewers 1 at New York (day game):
A homer by Hank Aaron, his second in the A. L. and 735th of his career, saved the Brewers from a shutout in a 10-1 loss to the Yankees. Thurman Munson and Ron Blomberg rapped round-trippers in the Yankees' 13-hit attack.

Cubs 8, Cardinals 6 at Chicago (day game):
A bases-loaded single by Jose Cardenal and sacrifice fly by Bill Madlock in the third inning broke a 5-5 tie and led the Cubs to an 8-6 victory over the Cardinals, who went down to their sixth straight defeat. After the clubs traded three runs in the first inning and two more in the second, Manny Trillo and Steve Swisher singled for the Cubs in the third. Ken Frailing bunted and was safe on an error by Ken Reitz to load the bases. Cardenal followed with his single, driving in two runs. Madlock then hit his sacrifice fly for what proved to be an insurance run.

Reds 9, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
A three-run double by Ken Griffey provided the Reds with their biggest blow in a 9-3 victory over the Astros. Joe Morgan batted in a run for the Reds with a single in the first inning, but then was out trying to steal second before Johnny Bench hit a homer to make it 2-0. Pete Rose produced two more runs with a double in the second. The Reds then broke loose for five runs in the fourth with the aid of three walks and three errors. After a wild throw by Cliff Johnson and single by Tony Perez resulted in two runs, Jim Crawford failed to tag first base, covering on a grounder by Cesar Geronimo with two out. The error loaded the bases and Griffey proceeded to clear the sacks with his double.

Pirates 7, Phillies 3 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Willie Stargell and Al Oliver each homered with a man on base to lead the Pirates' attack in a 7-3 victory over the Phillies. After the Phillies took a 3-0 lead, Stargell put the Pirates back in the game, hitting his homer in the fourth inning following a pass to Richie Hebner. The Pirates then erupted for five in the fifth. Dave Parker walked and Manny Sanguillen bunted safely to start off. Wayne Twitchell then retired the next two batters but Rennie Stennett singled, driving in two runs, and took second on the throw to the plate. Hebner sent Stennett home with a single. Joe Hoerner replaced Twitchell and, on his first pitch, Oliver swung away for a homer. Jim Rooker, in gaining his second straight victory, held the Phillies to seven hits.

Braves 6, Padres 4 at San Diego (night game):
The Braves spoiled Bat Night for the crowd of 38,189 San Diego fans by defeating the Padres, 6-4, behind Carl Morton, who became the first pitcher in the N. L. to achieve five victories this season. Randy Jones, who started for the Padres, had his string of 26 scoreless innings snapped when Earl Williams walked and Dusty Baker homered in the second. Darrell Evans added to the Braves' total with a run-scoring single in the third. An error by Mike Ivie led to two unearned runs in the fourth before the Braves wound up their scoring with singles by Ralph Garr and Evans around an infield out in the ninth. Dave Winfield homered for the Padres, who succeeded in chasing Morton when Enzo Hernandez doubled in the ninth, but Tom House relieved and retired the next three straight batters.

Dodgers 13, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
The Dodgers piled up nine runs in the first two innings and breezed to a 13-3 victory over the Giants. In the opening frame, Davey Lopes and Willie Crawford walked and Steve Garvey singled for one run before Ron Cey added three more with a homer. Bobby Murcer hit for the circuit with a man on base in the Giants' half, but the Dodgers brushed that aside with a five-run outburst in the second, two scoring on a bases-loaded single by Joe Ferguson.
