Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 6, Angels 3 at California (night game):
Taking advantage of four walks in succession, the Indians scored three runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Angels, 6-3. Bill Singer, who started for the Angels, passed George Hendrick, Oscar Gamble and Frank Duffy to load the bases before yielding the mound to Mickey Scott, who walked Charlie Spikes to force in the tie-breaking run. John Ellis then batted for Alan Ashby and singled to score a pair of insurance tallies.

Twins 6, Tigers 5 at Detroit (night game):
After trailing, 5-0, the Twins started their comeback with two homers in the sixth inning and overtook the Tigers, 6-5. An inside-the-park homer by Ron LeFlore was among the Tigers' blows against Bert Blyleven, who was kayoed in the fifth inning. Vic Albury gained the victory in relief. Rod Carew sparked the Twins' rally with a homer in the sixth and, after two men reached base, Larry Hisle also hit for the circuit to leave the Twins just one run in arrears. John Hiller replaced Lerrin LaGrow and drew the defeat in the ninth. Eric Soderholm singled, Craig Kusick walked and Danny Thompson drove in the tying run with a single. Steve Brye then beat out an infield hit to load the bases and Carew followed with a sacrifice fly to plate the winning run.

Royals 3, Yankees 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Allowing only three hits, Al Fitzmorris outdueled Catfish Hunter and pitched the Royals to a 3-0 victory over the Yankees. Hunter, who yielded six hits, was stopped on his personal four-game winning streak. The Royals reached Hunter for a run in the first inning on a double by Hal McRae and single by Harmon Killebrew before salting away the decision with two tallies in the sixth on a single by George Brett, triple by Vada Pinson and single by Fran Healy. The victory was the Royals' sixth straight and 12th in their last 16 games.

Brewers 9, White Sox 8 at Milwaukee (night game):
Manager Del Crandall allowed his regulars to choose the batting order out of a hat with a happy result for the Brewers, who broke their six-game losing streak by defeating the White Sox. 9-8. Designated hitter Bobby Mitchell drove in three runs with a homer in the fourth inning. The circuit clout was the first for the Brewers in nine games. Hank Aaron batted in his second run of the game with an infield out in the fifth and Charlie Moore followed with a two-run single for what proved to be the Brewers' deciding hit. Pat Kelly, Jorge Orta and Carlos May, batting 1-2-3 in the White Sox order, each had three hits. Kelly's blows included a leadoff homer in the first inning.

A's 4, Orioles 2 at Oakland (night game):
Mired in the worst batting slump of his career, Sal Bando came through with a run-scoring single in the seventh inning to help the Athletics defeat the Orioles. 4-2. Bando went into the game hitting only .183. Reggie Jackson homered for the A's and Lee May matched that blow for the Orioles, who then took a 2-1 lead on singles by Ken Singleton and Tommy Davis around a wild pitch in the seventh. In the A's half, Bert Campaneris singled, took second on a sacrifice and reached third on a safe bunt by Bill North. Bando then hit his single to drive in the tying run and Jackson followed with a double, scoring North, to put the A's ahead.

Braves 7, Cubs 2 at Chicago (day game):
Rick Reuschel hit the first homer of his major league career, but the blow in the sixth inning proved bad luck for the Cubs' righthander, who was knocked out in the next stanza and lost to the Braves, 7-2. Reuschel's rap tied the score at 1-1. The Braves opened the seventh with singles by Mike Lum and Larvell Blanks. After Vic Correll sacrificed, Phil Niekro struck out. The Cubs then decided to pass Ralph Garr intentionally in a move that backfired when Marty Perez singled, driving in two runs. Darold Knowles relieved Reuschel and retired the side, but in the eighth the Braves erupted for four more runs. Blanks, Correll and Niekro all singled to load the bases and Garr knocked in a pair with a single. Bob Locker took over and forced in two more tallies with passes to Perez, Darrell Evans and Earl Williams.

Dodgers 10, Mets 4 at New York (night game):
Jim Wynn hit two homers, driving in three runs, and Davey Lopes connected for the circuit with two men on base to power the Dodgers to a 10-4 victory over the Mets. Steve Garvey started the Dodgers' scoring with a two-run double in the first inning. Wynn hit his first homer of the game following a single by Lopes in the third. Lopes rapped his round-tripper in the sixth and, one out later, Wynn hit his second homer of the night. Burt Hooton limited the Mets to six hits with one of their runs coming on a circuit clout by Ed Kranepool.

Giants 1, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
The Giants took advantage of the Phillies' fifth error of the game to score an unearned run in the 10th inning and gain a 1-0 victory. John Montefusco hurled the route for the Giants and yielded only five hits, while Gene Garber was the loser in relief of Tom Underwood. Von Joshua singled with one out in the 10th and continued to third when the ball got past center fielder Jerry Martin. Glenn Adams then batted for Bruce Miller and singled to drive in the lone run. The Phillies benched Mike Schmidt, ending the slumping third baseman's string of 231 consecutive games played.

Pirates 6, Astros 5 at Pittsburgh (night game):
A three-run rally in the ninth inning brought the Pirates a 6-5 victory over the Astros. Two pinch-hitters, Paul Popovich and Richie Hebner, drew passes from Joe Niekro to open the rally. Attempting to sacrifice, Rennie Stennett forced Popovich at third, but Willie Stargell singled to drive in Hebner. When Greg Gross fumbled the ball in left field, Stennett wound up at third and Stargell took second. After Jim Crawford replaced Niekro, Stennett beat the throw home on a grounder by Dave Parker, tying the score. Following an infield out by Al Oliver, Manny Sanguillen was passed intentionally to load the bases. Bill Robinson then singled to drive in the winning run.

Cardinals 7, Padres 1 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals rode Lou Brock's "cycle" to a 7-1 victory over the Padres. Brock singled in the first inning, homered in the third, tripled in the fifth and doubled in the eighth.
