Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 1, Orioles 0 at California (day game):
Nolan Ryan, Angels' fireballing righthander, pitched the fourth no-hitter of his major league career, equalling Sandy Koufax' record, and gained his 100th victory in a 1-0 shutout of the Orioles. Ryan, who had yielded five homers in losing his two previous starts, walked four and struck out nine. The Orioles' closest bid for a hit came in the seventh inning when Tommy Davis rapped a slow grounder over second base, but Jerry Remy scooped up the ball and threw out the batter by a half-step. In that same stanza, Ryan's victory was threatened when Bobby Grich walked and Lee May was safe on an error by Billy Smith. After the runners advanced on an infield out by Brooks Robinson, Ryan retired Elrod Hendricks on a pop fly to Dave Chalk. The Angels scored their lone run off Ross Grimsley with two out in the third on consecutive singles by Mickey Rivers, Tommy Harper and Chalk.

[DH] Tigers 5, White Sox 1 (day game) / White Sox 3, Tigers 2 at Detroit (day game):
Mickey Lolich set a Detroit club record for most career victories with his 201st and also moved into sixth place on the major leagues' all-time strikeout list with a total of 2,582 as the Tigers defeated the White Sox, 5-2, in the opener of a doubleheader. The White Sox came back to win the nightcap, 3-2, scoring their deciding run on a pass to Deron Johnson with the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Lolich, who fanned three while scattering seven hits, passed Bob Feller on the strikeout list. Bill Stein hit his first A. L. homer for the White Sox in the third inning, but the Tigers put their veteran lefthander on the road to victory with two runs in the sixth on a single by Ron LeFlore, triple by Gary Sutherland and single by Dan Meyer. In the second game, Leon Roberts homered for the Tigers and Carlos May for the White Sox to help create a 2-2 tie. In the fifth, Pete Varney singled for the White Sox, Jorge Orta was hit by a pitch and May beat out an infield hit before Johnson drew the decisive pass from Tom Walker. Rich Gossage replaced Claude Osteen in the Tigers' half of the fifth and allowed only one hit in 4 1/3 innings of relief to receive credit for the victory.

[DH] Royals 13, Brewers 6 (day game) / Royals 11, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (day game):
The Royals brought their record to nine victories in their last 10 games by sweeping over Brewers in a doubleheader, 13-6 and 11-5. In the first game, the Royals broke a 6-6 tie by scoring five runs in the fifth inning. John Mayberry walked and reached third when George Scott threw wild on a bunt by George Brett. With one out, Frank White laid down a squeeze bunt and Mayberry beat the throw home on a fielder's choice. Fred Patek walked to load the bases. Amos Otis also drew a pass, forcing in Brett. White crossed the plate on an infield out by Vada Pinson. Harmon Killebrew then capped the inning with a double, driving in Patek and Otis. In the second game, Tony Solaita and Brett each hit a homer with a man on base for the Royals before Mayberry swung into action with a three-run homer in the fourth inning and two-run double in the sixth. Pedro Garcia homered with two aboard for the Brewers. Hank Aaron finished the doubleheader with four hits to bring his career total to 3,630, tying Stan Musial for second place on the major league's all-time list.

Red Sox 11, Twins 9 at Minnesota (day game):
Homers by Carl Yastrzemski, Doug Griffin, Fred Lynn and Jim Rice, together with a three-run double by Juan Beniquez, helped the Red Sox outslug the Twins, 11-9. Jim Hughes, Twins' rookie righthander who had won six straight games, was pounded for seven runs in the first 1 2/3 innings. Yastrzemski's homer and Beniquez' double accounted for four runs in the first and three markers followed in the second on a solo shot by Griffin and two-run blow by Lynn. The Red Sox added a pair in the third, picked up another run in the fifth and capped their scoring with Rice's homer in the sixth. The Twins matched the Red Sox in number of hits, 12, but had only one homer by Steve Brye. Luis Tiant, who started for the Red Sox, retired after five innings with a 10-3 lead. Diego Segui, who relieved, gave up two runs in the sixth and was kayoed in the eighth when the Twins tightened the game by scoring four more times.

A's 6, Indians 3 at Oakland (day game):
Claudell Washington homered with a man on base and Bert Campaneris batted in two runs with a single and squeeze bunt to lead the Athletics to a 6-3 victory over the Indians. After the Indians took a 2-0 lead, the A's tied the score in the second with singles by Washington, Phil Garner and Campaneris together with an error, one of five committed by the Indians. Campaneris' squeeze bunt put the A's ahead in the fourth and Washington's homer followed in the fifth before the A's added their last tally on two errors and a double by Garner in the sixth.

Yankees 8, Rangers 4 at Texas (night game):
A three-run double by Chris Chambliss and two-run homer by Bobby Bonds carried the Yankees to an 8-4 victory over the Rangers, who suffered their eighth defeat in the last nine games. The Yankees broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning when Fred Stanley singled, Elliott Maddox walked and Roy White singled to load the bases for Chambliss' double. Stanley walked ahead of Bonds' homer in the sixth inning.

Cubs 7, Dodgers 2 at Chicago (day game):
A blistered hand forced Bill Bonham to leave the mound in the seventh inning, but the Cubs' righthander allowed only four hits and received credit for a 7-2 victory over the Dodgers. The Cubs jumped on Burt Hooton, their former teammate, for three runs in the second. Andre Thornton walked and reached third on a single by Manny Trillo and error by Jim Wynn before scoring on a passed ball. Steve Swisher drove in Trillo with a triple and counted himself on a sacrifice fly by Don Kessinger. Joe Ferguson homered for the Dodgers in the fifth, but Thornton got that run back with a round-tripper in the Cubs' half. Bonham was lifted with none out in the seventh after Willie Crawford was safe on an error and Ron Cey singled. Oscar Zamora gave up a run-scoring single by Henry Cruz, but then held the Dodgers in check the rest of the way. The Cubs iced their decision with three runs in the eighth, two counting on a single by Trillo.

Giants 13, Expos 5 at Montreal (day game):
Two homers by Bobby Murcer, each with a man on base, featured the Giants' scoring outburst in the last three innings of a 13-5 victory over the Expos. Jake Brown drove in three runs with a double in the first, but the Expos came back to tie the score before the Giants walked their way into the lead again with three runs in the seventh. Four passes forced in the first run and Marc Hill then singled to drive in two more. Murcer smashed his first homer of the game in the eighth and Willie Montanez also hit for the circuit to produce another trio for the Giants, who ended their scoring with four runs in the ninth, two scoring on Murcer's second homer. The Expos had circuit clouts by Larry Parrish, Pete Mackanin, Mike Jorgensen and Gary Carter, but all came with the bases empty.

Padres 4, Mets 0 at New York (day game):
The relief work of Danny Frisella, who replaced Alan Foster in the eighth inning, enabled the Padres to complete a 4-0 victory over the Mets. Foster, who gave up seven hits, was lifted after Felix Millan and Ed Kranepool singled with none out in the eighth. Frisella retired the last six straight batters. The Padres took advantage of the wildness of Randy Tate to score two runs in the first. Johnny Grubb and Enzo Hernandez walked and both advanced on a sacrifice by Bobby Tolan. Tate uncorked a wild pitch on the fourth ball to Dave Winfield, allowing Grubb to score and when catcher Jerry Grote threw wildly back to Tate, who covered the plate, Hernandez also came home. Doubles by Dave Winfield in the seventh and eighth figured in the scoring of the last two tallies.

Phillies 5, Astros 4 at Philadelphia (day game):
After scoring four times in the first inning, the Phillies added a homer by Jay Johnstone in the fifth for the run that edged the Astros, 5-4. A walk to Mike Schmidt, single by Johnstone, double by Greg Luzinski and error by Doug Rader in handling the relay from the outfield produced the first two runs in the Phillies' opening outburst. After Dick Allen flied out, two other tallies followed on a single by Bob Boone and double by Mike Anderson. Johnstone's homer then enabled the Phillies to withstand a rally by the Astros, who scored four runs in the sixth on four hits and two walks.

Braves 5, Pirates 2 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Sparked by Dusty Baker, who hit homers his first two times at bat, the Braves gained a 5-2 victory to snap the Pirates' six-game winning streak. After Baker's blows in the second and fourth innings, the Braves added two runs in the seventh on a pass to Darrell Evans, two-out single by Phil Niekro, a wild pitch and single by Ralph Garr. Evans knocked in the Braves' final run with a single in the eighth. Bill Robinson homered for the Pirates.

Reds 5, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (day game):
With Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench providing run support, Jack Billingham pitched the Reds to a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals. Morgan accounted for the first three runs with a homer in the third inning after George Foster walked and Pete Rose was safe on an error. Ken Griffey singled in the fifth and took third on a single by Morgan. After Morgan stole second, Bench drove in both runners with a double. The Cards' counter came in the sixth on a single by Ted Sizemore, pass to Reggie Smith and single by Ted Simmons.
