Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 6, Indians 1 at Baltimore (day game):
Continuing a comeback from arm trouble, Jim Palmer brought his record to 3-1 by pitching the Orioles to a 6-1 victory over the Indians. The Orioles backed Palmer with an 11-hit attack that included Ken Singleton's first A. L. homer.

[DH] A's 7, Angels 1 (day game) / Angels 9, A's 1 at California (day game):
Vida Blue became the A. L.'s first five-game winner, pitching the Athletics to a 7-1 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the Angels came back to win the nightcap, 9-1, in a game that saw a brawl erupt after Bruce Bochte was hit by a pitched ball in the sixth inning. The A's used a single by Bert Campaneris and double by Claudell Washington for a run in the first inning of the lidlifter and added another on a single by Sal Bando and double by Phil Garner before wrapping up their scoring with a five-run outburst in the eighth. Gene Tenace and Garner each hit a single to account for two RBIs apiece during the stanza. In the nightcap, Bochte drove in two runs with a homer in the first inning and one more with a double in the third. Coming to bat in the sixth, Bochte was hit on the side of the helmet by a pitch thrown by A's reliever Jim Todd, setting off a melee that saw manager Dick Williams lead the charge from the Angels' dugout. Bochte was taken to a hospital for precautionary X-rays. Ed Figueroa, who had just been recalled from Salt Lake City (Pacific Coast), pitched for the Angels and held the A's to five hits.

Tigers 5, Red Sox 4 at Detroit (day game):
Hitless in seven previous trips to the plate this season, Ben Oglivie broke out with a two-run homer in the fifth inning to provide the Tigers with a 5-4 victory over the Red Sox. Oglivie also received credit for an RBI when hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the third. Ron LeFlore broke a 2-2 tie and put the Tigers ahead with a homer in the fourth. Then in the fifth, after Dan Meyer singled, Oglivie hit for the circuit. The Red Sox had two homers by Bernie Carbo and one by Dwight Evans.

White Sox 8, Royals 6 at Kansas City (day game):
The White Sox collected 17 hits, but 15 of them were singles, during the course of an 8-6 victory over the Royals. Carlos May and Ken Henderson had doubles for their only extra-base blows. Bill Melton drove in two runs with a pair of singles. Jim Kaat, who won his third game of the year and 10th straight over two seasons, gave up a two-run homer by Harmon Killebrew in the first inning and then was removed after being tagged for another two-run homer by Buck Martinez in the seventh. Rich Gossage finished and picked up credit for his fourth save of the season.

[DH] Brewers 7, Yankees 0 (day game) / Yankees 10, Brewers 1 at New York (day game):
Hank Aaron tied Babe Ruth's career record for runs batted in as the Brewers won the first game of a doubleheader, 7-0, but Catfish Hunter then grabbed the spotlight by posting his first victory for the Yankees in a 10-1 breeze. Aaron drove in two runs with a bases-loaded double in the seventh inning to bring his RBI total to 2,209, matching Ruth's mark. The Brewers counted their first two runs of the game in the sixth on a pass to Aaron, single by Darrell Porter and double by Mike Hegan. In the seventh, Bob Coluccio led off with a homer. After one out, Robin Yount doubled, Sixto Lezcano walked and George Scott beat out an infield hit to set the stage for Aaron's double. A wild pitch and sacrifice fly added another run before the inning ended. Pete Broberg limited the Yankees to three hits. In the nightcap, Hunter, a loser of three previous decisions, held the Brewers hitless for 7 2/3 innings before settling for a three-hitter. Yount homered for the Brewers' run in the ninth. The Yankees sent their multi-millionaire pitcher on the way to victory by scoring four runs in the first. Chris Chambliss knocked in a pair with a single and Ed Herrmann accounted for two more with a double. Herrmann homered in the fourth and, after two men reached base, Elliott Maddox also hit for the circuit to add four more runs to the Yankees' total.

Reds 6, Astros 2 at Houston (day game):
Scoring four runs in the 10th inning, the Reds defeated the Astros, 6-2. Dave Concepcion drove in the Reds' first two runs with a single in the second. The Astros had a homer by Bob Watson and run-scoring single by Jose Cruz. Terry Crowley delivered a pinch-single to start the Reds' outburst in the 10th. Dan Driessen walked and Pete Rose beat out a bunt to load the bases. Concepcion grounded to Roger Metzger, but Milt May failed to tag the plate on the throw home, allowing Ed Armbrister to score as the pinch-runner for Crowley. Joe Morgan was hit by a pitch to force in another tally. Johnny Bench then capped the scoring with a single that plated the Reds' last two runs.

Mets 7, Expos 6 at Montreal (day game):
The Mets, who went into the seventh inning on the short end of a 6-1 score, exploded for six runs to defeat the Expos, 7-6. Dave Kingman, who had two hits during the rally, led off with a single. John Milner walked and Jerry Grote singled to drive in Kingman. After Gene Clines walked and Del Unser forced Milner at the plate, Felix Millan plated Grote and Clines with a single. Rusty Staub also singled, scoring Unser. Joe Torre was safe on an error as Millan counted the tying run. Kingman, coming up for a second time, then singled to drive in Staub with the winning run.

Pirates 2, Phillies 0 at Pittsburgh (day game):
A loser of two previous decisions this season, Dock Ellis entered the winning column by pitching the Pirates to a 2-0 victory over the Phillies. The Pirates scored initially in the first inning on a single by Bill Robinson, double by Al Oliver and groundout by Willie Stargell. Their other run followed in the seventh on two walks and a single by Rennie Stennett.

[DH] Braves 12, Padres 8 (day game) / Braves 4, Padres 1 at San Diego (day game):
After scoring nine runs in the eighth inning to win the first game of a doubleheader, 12-8, the Braves completed the sweep by defeating the Padres in the second game, 4-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Roric Harrison, who made his first start of the season. Dusty Baker had four hits for the Braves in the lidlifter, including two run-scoring singles in the eighth as 11 men went to the plate. Rowland Office, who ran for Earl Williams during the inning, later came up for a turn at bat and tripled with the bases loaded. The Padres fell short with a five-run rally in their half of the eighth that included Johnny Grubb's fourth hit of the game. In the nightcap, the Braves scored two runs in the first inning when Ralph Garr was safe on an error, Marty Perez tripled and Williams singled. Harrison was hit on the helmet by a pitch in the ninth but remained in the game. A single by Garr, safe squeeze bunt by Perez and sacrifice fly by Williams then produced two runs.

Dodgers 7, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
A Bat Day crowd of 35,517 failed to stimulate the Giants, who collected only six hits off Don Sutton and lost to the Dodgers, 7-3. The Giants brought cheers when they scored twice in the fourth inning on a single by Bobby Murcer and doubles by Ed Goodson and Gary Thomasson to take a 3-1 lead, but the Dodgers put a damper on the crowd in the sixth when Willie Crawford hit a two-run homer, Steve Garvey singled and Joe Ferguson doubled to put the Dodgers ahead, 4-3. The Dodgers then iced the verdict with their final three runs in the ninth.
