Today's scores and summaries:

Twins 4, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
A brilliant relief performance by Bill Campbell, who struck out five batters in the last 2 2/3 innings, nailed down the Twins' 4-1 victory over the White Sox. Wilbur Wood, who started for the White Sox, was handed his sixth defeat to go with only one victory. The Twins rapped Wood for two runs in the second inning on a single by Larry Hisle, double by Craig Kusick and singles by Steve Braun and Rod Carew. Braun homered for another run in the third. The Twins' final marker counted in the eighth on a single by Eric Soderholm and triple by Hisle.

Red Sox 4, Indians 1 at Cleveland (night game):
Backed by a pair of two-run innings, Bill Lee pitched the Red Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Indians. The Red Sox put over their first two runs in the second on singles by Jim Rice and Rico Petrocelli, an error by Jack Brohamer and single by Bob Montgomery. Then in the third, Fred Lynn doubled home Rick Burleson and scored himself on a single by Rice. Lee was deprived of a shutout when George Hendrick homered for the Indians' run in the sixth.

Tigers 4, Brewers 2 at Detroit (night game):
Allowing only one hit, Joe Coleman pitched the Tigers to a 4-2 victory over the Brewers, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak. In the first inning, after Robin Yount was hit by a pitch and Sixto Lezcano grounded into a forceout, George Scott came up and homered for the Brewers' only hit to account for their two runs. The Tigers came back with a homer by Bill Freehan in the fourth. In the fifth, Ron LeFlore singled to drive in two runs after the Tigers had loaded the bases on a safe bunt by Leon Roberts and two walks. Then in the seventh, LeFlore walked, stole second and scored on a single by Gary Sutherland.

Royals 6, Rangers 2 at Kansas City (night game):
A four-run rally in the eighth inning carried the Royals to a 6-2 victory over the Rangers behind the pitching of Nelson Briles, who turned in his third straight winning performance. Willie Davis homered with a man on base for the Rangers in the eighth to tie the score at 2-2 before the Royals began their rally when John Mayberry walked and Hal McRae singled, chasing Jim Bibby. Steve Foucault struck out Harmon Killebrew, but George Brett singled, driving in the tie-breaking tally. Frank White followed with a single, driving in two more runs, and Buck Martinez capped the inning with a single to score White.

A's 5, Angels 3 at Oakland (night game):
Claudell Washington led off the seventh inning with a homer to spark the Athletics to a 5-3 victory over the Angels. A two-run single by pinch-hitter Joe Lahoud in the top half of the seventh put the Angels ahead, 3-2, before Washington tied the score with his homer. After the next two batters were retired, Charlie Sands came up as a pinch-hitter and drew a walk. Matt Alexander ran for Sands, stole second and scored the go-ahead run when Sal Bando doubled. The A's added an insurance counter in the eighth on singles by Phil Garner and Bill North and a sacrifice fly by Washington.

Giants 7, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
Pete Falcone, Giants' 21-year-old rookie lefthander, yielded only two hits in eight innings to gain a 7-1 victory over the Braves. The youngster collared the Braves until Dusty Baker singled in the seventh. A single by Rod Gilbreath, an error and a balk gave the Braves their run in the eighth. Falcone was removed for a pinch-hitter in the ninth and Randy Moffitt, who finished, allowed a single by Earl Williams for the Braves' third and last hit. The Giants scored twice in the third. After walks to Dave Rader and Derrel Thomas around a single by Von Joshua loaded the bases, Williams bobbled a grounder by Bobby Murcer, admitting an unearned pair off Buzz Capra. Chris Speier homered in the fourth. The Giants added a run in the fifth when Joshua walked, stole second and Thomas singled. Murcer singled for two of the Giants' last three runs in the ninth.

Reds 7, Padres 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
Joe Morgan collected a homer, triple and single, driving in two runs, and Pete Rose added four singles to lead the Reds to a 7-3 victory over the Padres. The Reds jumped on Sonny Siebert for three runs in the first inning. Morgan hit his homer after a single by Rose and forceout by Dave Concepcion, with the other run following on a single by Dan Driessen and double by Tony Perez. Rose batted in a run with a single in the second before the Padres posted their tallies off Jack Billingham in the fourth, two scoring on a homer by Willie McCovey. George Foster padded the Reds' lead with a run-scoring double in the fifth and their last two tallies counted on a sacrifice fly by Merv Rettenmund and a balk in the sixth.

Dodgers 3, Astros 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Don Sutton brought his record to 6-1, Ron Cey clouted his seventh homer of the season and Steve Garvey drove in his 22nd and 23rd runs as the Dodgers defeated the Astros, 3-1. Cey connected for the circuit in the second inning. Garvey came through with a two-run single in the fifth after the Dodgers loaded the bases on a single by Sutton and two walks. Sutton extended his streak of scoreless pitching to 23 innings before Bob Watson homered for the Astros' run in the ninth.

Expos 9, Cubs 4 at Montreal (night game):
A grand-slam homer by Mike Jorgensen in the fourth inning provided the decisive blow as the Expos defeated the Cubs, 9-4. Doubles by Pepe Mangual, Pete Mackanin and Larry Parrish led the Expos to a 3-0 lead before they opened the fourth by loading the bases on a single by Mackanin, a late throw to second on a grounder by Barry Foote and single by Mangual. A single by Tim Foli drove in one run. After Tony Scott grounded into a forceout at the plate, Jorgensen hit the second grand slam of his major league career, both off Rick Reuschel. Steve Rogers, who gained his first victory of the season as the Expos' starter, gave up a homer by Rick Monday in the sixth and yielded three more runs in the seventh before Chuck Taylor came in and retired nine straight batters.

Pirates 2, Mets 1 at New York (night game):
Manny Sanguillen hit a pair of run-scoring doubles to enable the Pirates to defeat the Mets, 2-1, in a game called after 7½ innings because of rain. Tom Seaver, who once had a 17-5 career mark against the Pirates, lost to them for the fourth straight time, including his last two decisions in 1974. A pass to Dave Parker and Sanguillen's first double produced a run for the Pirates in the second inning. Ken Brett, who held the Mets to four hits, gave up a homer by Felix Millan in the third, but the Pirates put over their deciding marker in the fourth when Parker singled and Sanguillen hit his second double.
