Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 7, A's 3 at Boston (night game):
The sixth career grand slam by Carl Yastrzemski carried the Red Sox past the Athletics, 7-3, giving Boston a sweep of the three-game series. Yastrzemski connected in the seventh inning following singles by Bob Montgomery, Juan Beniquez and Rick Burleson. The A's opened the scoring in the second when Gene Tenace hit a solo homer, but the Sox got that run back in the bottom of the inning on Dwight Evans' double, a long fly ball and Tenace's passed ball. Joe Rudi doubled to drive in Reggie Jackson, who had reached on a fielder's choice and swiped second in the third inning, but the Red Sox went ahead to stay in the fourth when Rico Petrocelli homered with Tony Conigliaro aboard. Jackson clubbed a bases-empty homer for the final Oakland run in the eighth.

Orioles 6, White Sox 2 at Chicago (night game):
The Orioles staked Jim Palmer to a 4-0 first-inning lead and the Baltimore starter responded by going the route to pick up his seventh victory at the expense of the White Sox' Claude Osteen, 6-2. Bobby Grich kayoed loser Osteen with a three-run homer in the first after Ken Singleton's double and Tommy Davis' single had produced the first run. Don Baylor followed with a single before Grich touched off his seventh homer of the season. Doubles by Brooks Robinson and Andy Etchebarren accounted for the fifth Baltimore run in the second. Lee May's homer in the sixth closed out the scoring for the winners. The Sox scored one in the second on singles by Tony Muser, Nyls Nyman and Brian Downing. Bill Melton homered to lead off the Chicago eighth.

Indians 3, Angels 2 at Cleveland (night game):
Manager Frank Robinson hit a pair of bases empty homers and the Indians scored a decisive unearned run in the seventh to nip the Angels, 3-2, to end California's winning streak at four games. Robinson's round-trippers came in the second and sixth frames off loser Frank Tanana. A throwing error by Rudy Meoli allowed Alan Ashby to reach second base in the seventh, from where he scored the winning run on Buddy Bell's two-out single. Indian starter Jim Kern held the Angels to two hits before three singles in the eighth produced the first California run. Reliever Dave LaRoche walked pinch-hitter Winston Llenas to force in a run, but got Bill Sudakis to ground out to end the rally.

Rangers 5, Brewers 4 at Milwaukee (night game):
Jeff Burroughs' fifth-inning sacrifice fly drove in the deciding run as the Rangers edged the Brewers, 5-4, to cut the Brewer lead in the A. L. East to 1½ games. Jim Spencer got the visitors in front with a two-run homer in the second, but the Brewers came back with three markers in the bottom of the inning and held a 4-3 advantage entering the fifth. The Ranger rally began with a single by Jim Sundberg, who advanced to second on an infield out and scored the tying run on Willie Davis' base hit. Davis moved to third on Kurt Bevacqua's two-base throwing error on Lenny Randle's grounder and scored the winner when Burroughs flied to right.

Twins 6, Tigers 5 at Minnesota (night game):
Larry Hisle's two-run homer in the 11th, after Detroit relief ace John Hiller had walked Steve Brye, lifted the Twins past the Tigers, 6-5. Detroit had taken a 5-4 lead in the top of the 11th when Gary Sutherland singled home Ron LeFlore, who had singled and moved to second on an errant pickoff throw. The Tigers jumped into a 3-0 lead in the first on Willie Horton's 10th homer, following a single by Sutherland and walk to Dan Meyer, then extended their advantage to 4-0 when Gene Michael hit a solo homer in the second. Eric Soderholm cut the lead in half with a two-run blast in the home half of the second. Tom Lundstedt, aboard on an error, scored from third as the Tigers turned a double play in the third inning, and the Twins pulled even in the fifth when Steve Braun socked his second homer of the year.

Royals 4, Yankees 1 at New York (night game):
Fran Healy's three-run homer in the 10th lifted the Royals past the Yankees, 4-1, and pinned a sixth straight loss on New York's Doc Medich. George Brett got aboard in the decisive frame on an error by Chris Chambliss. Cookie Rojas, after failing to sacrifice, singled Brett to third and Healy followed with his second homer of the year. The Yanks got an unearned run in the sixth as a result of K. C. starter Dennis Leonard's error. The Royals tied it in the seventh on John Mayberry's double and a single by Brett.

Braves 6, Expos 3 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves used a three-run fifth inning, sandwiched between solo homers by Mike Lum and Darrell Evans, who hit a pair, to defeat Montreal, 6-3. Evans hit his seventh round-tripper of the season in the first and added the other in the fourth. Lum connected with the bases empty in the fifth. In a three-run second, Dusty Baker opened with a walk and stole second. Singles by Lum and Larvell Blanks scored one run. Winning pitcher Phil Niekro bunted safely to load the bases. Loser Steve Renko walked Rod Gilbreath to force in the second run and wild-pitched Blanks home with the third. Montreal scored two unearned runs in the fourth, then got a bases-empty homer from Gary Carter in the sixth.

Reds 11, Mets 4 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds got homers from Tony Perez, Dave Concepcion and rookie Doug Flynn and knocked out Tom Seaver in the fifth, with the help of an error by Felix Millan, to overpower the Mets, 11-4. Cincinnati wiped out a 3-0 New York lead in the fourth with the help of Perez' two-run blast. Millan's error on Pete Rose's grounder opened the gates for a four-run fifth. Ken Griffey walked and Perez, Cesar Geronimo, Concepcion and George Foster all hit two-out singles. Flynn, filling in at second for the injured Joe Morgan, hit his first major league homer in the eighth after a single by Rose and walk to Merv Rettenmund to conclude the scoring.

Astros 4, Phillies 0 at Houston (night game):
Larry Dierker pitched the Astros to their fourth consecutive triumph, shutting out the Phillies on six hits, 4-0. Batterymate Milt May iced the victory when he cleared the bases with a double off loser Wayne Twitchell in the fifth. Cesar Cedeno's sacrifice fly plated Houston's first run in the third inning and got the Astros started toward their sweep of the three-game series. The shutout was Dierker's second in his last three starts.

Dodgers 10, Cubs 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Given 13-hit support, Andy Messersmith improved his record to 7-0 as the Dodgers blanked the Cubs, 10-0. L. A. used two walks and singles by Steve Garvey and Ron Cey to take a 2-0 lead in the first. Messersmith plated the third Dodger run in the second frame with a sacrifice fly. Garvey, who drove in four runs, singled home Jim Wynn in the sixth, stole second and scored on a single by Steve Yeager. The Dodgers tacked on five more runs in the eighth, with two scoring on Garvey's fourth homer of the season. Messersmith, who contributed three RBIs, authored his sixth complete game and second shutout of the season.

Padres 1, Cardinals 0 at San Diego (night game):
A throwing error by Bob Gibson in the seventh inning allowed Enzo Hernandez to score from second with the game's only run as the Padres kept the Cardinals on the skids, 1-0. St. Louis was shut out despite getting eight hits off winner Joe McIntosh, who put down Cardinal threats in the fourth and sixth with the help of double plays. Hernandez opened the seventh with a single and stole second. Gibson bobbled a sacrifice bunt by Bobby Tolan and threw wildly past first, with Hernandez scoring from second.

Giants 2, Pirates 1 at San Francisco (day game):
Chris Speier's bases-loaded single with none out in the bottom of the 11th enabled the Giants to edge past the Pirates, 2-1. Bobby Murcer, who scored the winning run, opened the inning with a single. Loser Dave Giusti walked Gary Matthews and both runners advanced when a pickoff play misfired. Willie Montanez was given an intentional walk to load the bases, and Speier followed with a line drive over the drawn-in outfield. The Pirates' lone tally came in the second on Manny Sanguillen's two-out double and a single by Mario Mendoza. Montanez tied it in the fifth with a solo homer off Pirate starter Bruce Kison. The victory gave the Giants a sweep of the series and resulted in a four-game winning streak, their longest of the season.
