Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 5, Angels 0 at California (night game):
Pitching his fourth shutout of the season, Jim Palmer allowed only four hits and beat the Angels, 5-0, to snap the Orioles' seven-game losing streak. Elrod Hendricks walked in the fifth inning, took third on a single by Ken Singleton and scored the Orioles' first run as Paul Blair grounded into a double play. Bobby Grich singled in the sixth, stole second and counted on a single by Lee May before the Orioles wrapped up their scoring with three runs in the seventh.

Twins 4, Red Sox 3 at Minnesota (night game):
Run-scoring singles by Tony Oliva and Eric Soderholm in the seventh inning carried the Twins to a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox. The Twins counted their initial pair in the fifth on a homer by Steve Braun, double by Bobby Darwin and single by Soderholm. The Red Sox tied the score in the sixth when Carl Yastrzemski singled and Fred Lynn homered. In the Twins' seventh, Rod Carew walked, stole second and continued to third on a wild throw by catcher Tim Blackwell. Oliva's single drove in Carew with the tie-breaking run. Sergio Ferrer ran for Oliva, stole second and scored what proved to be the winning run when Soderholm singled. The Red Sox fell short with a run in the ninth on singles by Blackwell and Cecil Cooper and a sacrifice fly by Tony Conigliaro.

A's 6, Indians 2 at Oakland (night game):
Dick Bosman gained his second victory over his former teammates in six days when the Athletics defeated the Indians, 6-2. Bosman pitched eight innings and allowed only one run on singles by George Hendrick and John Ellis around an infield out in the second. Rollie Fingers pitched the ninth and gave up a homer by Hendrick. The A's, after being held to one hit in the first five innings, jumped on Jim Kern for four runs in the sixth on two walks, singles by Claudell Washington and Jim Holt, an error and single by Phil Garner. Reggie Jackson hit his third homer in three games in the seventh and Washington added a circuit clout for the A's final run in the eighth.

Rangers 6, Yankees 5 at Texas (night game):
Roy Howell batted in five runs with three hits, capping his big night with a scoring single in the ninth inning, to enable the Rangers to end their six-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Yankees. The rookie third baseman committed two errors, one of them resulting in an unearned Yankee run, but more than made up for it with his plate performance. Howell batted in two runs with a single in the second and two more with another single in the fourth before the Yankees took a 5-4 lead when Chris Chambliss singled and Graig Nettles homered in the sixth. Jeff Burroughs brought the Rangers into a tie with a round-tripper in the eighth. Then in the ninth, Toby Harrah doubled and Howell sent the winning run across the plate with his third single of the game.

Dodgers 3, Cubs 1 at Chicago (day game):
Steve Garvey scored two runs and Davey Lopes homered to give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead over the Cubs before the game was suspended because of darkness after 7½ innings. The contest was completed prior to the next day's regularly-scheduled meeting of the clubs. Don Sutton, pitching for the Dodgers, worked out of trouble in the second when a double by Rick Monday, two walks and a sacrifice fly produced the Cubs' lone run. The Dodgers tied the score with doubles by Garvey and Ron Cey in the fourth. Lopes hit his homer in the fifth. Garvey doubled again in the sixth and counted on a single by Ivan DeJesus.

Padres 6, Mets 2 at New York (night game):
Pinch-hitting, Willie McCovey smashed the 16th grand-slam homer of his career, tying Hank Aaron's N. L. record, to power the Padres to a 6-2 victory over the Mets. Del Unser led off the first with a homer for the Mets to snap Randy Jones' pitching string of 19 scoreless innings. The Mets added another run in the fourth. Jesus Alou singled, took third on a single by Joe Torre and scored as Rusty Staub bounced into a double play. The Padres began the eighth by tying the score with singles by Johnny Grubb, Enzo Hernandez and Bobby Tolan and a double by Dave Winfield. After an intentional pass to Mike Ivie loaded the bases, Bob Apodaca relieved Jerry Koosman and was the victim of McCovey's homer.

Astros 5, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
Giving credit to his catcher for calling a good game, Doug Konieczny posted his first major league shutout, pitching the Astros to a 5-0 victory over the Phillies. "I just went along with Milty," Konieczny said in tribute to Milt May, who also paced the Astros' attack, driving in three runs with a pair of doubles. A single by Greg Gross, sacrifice by Roger Metzger and May's first double started the Astros' scoring in the first inning. Enos Cabell doubled and Jose Cruz singled for another run in the third before the Astros locked up their victory with three runs in the seventh on a single by Gross, pass to Metzger, May's second double and a single by Cabell.

Pirates 2, Braves 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Two pinch-hitters came through for the Pirates in the ninth inning when Richie Hebner doubled and scored on a single by Ed Kirkpatrick to defeat the Braves, 2-1. The Pirates counted their initial run in the first on singles by Frank Taveras, Willie Stargell and Dave Parker. The Braves' matching tally counted in the second on a single by Larvell Blanks, pass to Vic Correll, sacrifice by Buzz Capra and infield hit by Ralph Garr.

Cardinals 5, Reds 4 at St. Louis (night game):
After failing to protect a two-run lead, Al Hrabosky came out with a victory when the Cardinals scored in the ninth inning on singles by Mario Guererro, Ron Fairly and Lou Brock to defeat the Reds, 5-4. A double by Ted Simmons and single by Luis Melendez produced a run for the Cards in the second before the Reds went ahead in the third when Pete Rose doubled and Johnny Bench homered. Reggie Smith tied the score with a circuit clout in the fourth. Simmons gave the Cardinals a 4-2 lead with a bases-loaded single in the fifth, but with one out in the ninth, Cesar Geronimo singled and Tony Perez walked to chase John Curtis. Hrabosky relieved and was greeted with a double by Rose, driving in Geronimo and Ken Griffey, who ran for Perez. Hrabosky bore down and retired both Joe Morgan and Bench, stranding Rose at second, before the Cardinals came back in their half, with Don Hahn scoring as the pinch-runner for Guerrero, to snap the Reds' seven-game winning streak.
