Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 6, Rangers 3 at Baltimore (night game):
A homer by Dave Duncan with two men on base capped the Orioles' four-run outburst in the second inning and started Mike Torrez on his way to a 6-3 victory over the Rangers. Lee May singled, Bobby Grich was hit by a pitch and Al Bumbry bunted safely to load the bases. After the first run scored when Brooks Robinson forced Bumbry, Duncan hit his homer. The Orioles added their other pair in the fifth. Ken Singleton walked, moved up on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Tommy Davis, who took second on the throw and crossed the plate on a single by May. Rangers' scoring included a homer by Jim Sundberg.

Red Sox 4, White Sox 0 at Boston (night game):
Seldom used as a starter, Dick Pole received a chance from manager Darrell Johnson and turned in the first complete game of his major league career, pitching the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory over the White Sox. The start was only the second this year for the righthander, who allowed just three hits. Jim Rice sent Pole on his way to victory by hitting a three-run homer in the first inning. The blow with two out came after Carl Yastrzemski and Fred Lynn drew walks from Lloyd Allen, who was making his first start for the White Sox since being recalled from the minors. The Red Sox added an extra run in the fifth on another walk to Lynn, an infield out by Rice and single by Juan Beniquez.

Tigers 8, Angels 5 at California (night game):
Sending 10 men to bat, the Tigers scored five runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Angels, 8-5. In the early going, Willie Horton homered for the Tigers and Leroy Stanton for the Angels, who took a 4-3 lead in the eighth when Jerry Remy doubled and Tommy Harper singled. The Tigers opened the ninth with singles by Leon Roberts and Nate Colbert to kayo Frank Tanana. Dave Sells gave up a run-scoring single by Bill Freehan and walked Gates Brown. With Mickey Scott taking over, Colbert beat the throw home on a grounder by Ben Oglivie. Ron LeFlore forced Freehan at the plate, but Gary Sutherland came through with a two-run single and Dan Meyer drove in the Tigers' final run with another single. The best that the Angels could do in their half of the ninth was to pick up an unearned run.

Royals 5, Indians 2 at Cleveland (night game):
Al Cowens, who went into the game batting only .156, collected three hits in three official trips and John Mayberry accounted for three hits in four at-bats to pace the Royals to a 5-2 victory over the Indians. The Indians garnered only six hits off Dennis Leonard, but held a 2-1 lead before the Royals decided the outcome with three runs in the sixth inning. Jim Wohlford led off with a double and scored on a single by Mayberry. With two out, Fran Healy singled and George Brett walked to load the bases for Cowens, who came through with a single, driving in two runs to put the Royals ahead. Mayberry iced the victory with a homer in the eighth.

Yankees 5, Twins 4 at Minnesota (night game):
A pinch-double by Alex Johnson with the bases loaded in the eighth inning drove in two runs and brought the Yankees a 5-4 victory over the Twins. Bobby Bonds opened the game for the Yankees with a homer, his 29th as a leadoff batter in his major league career. Bonds hit his first 28 leadoff homers while with the Giants in the N. L. Eddie Yost hit 28 in the A. L. After Bonds' belt, the Twins came back to tie the score in their half on a circuit clout by Rod Carew. The Yankees picked up a pair in the second on singles by Rick Dempsey, Jim Mason and Fred Stanley and a wild pitch by Dave Goltz, but the Twins went ahead with a three-run homer by Steve Brye in the fourth. The Yankees filled the sacks in the eighth on singles by Chris Chambliss and Graig Nettles and a pass to Dempsey before Johnson came through with his winning pinch-double.

Brewers 5, A's 4 at Oakland (night game):
A wild pitch by Jim Todd in the sixth inning allowed the Brewers to score what proved to be the decisive run in a 5-4 victory over the Athletics. Hank Aaron doubled in the first for the 3,631st hit of his career, moving him into second place on the major leagues' all-time list ahead of Stan Musial. Before Aaron batted, George Scott homered for the Brewers, but the A's went on to take a 4-1 lead, counting their final run on a round-tripper by Reggie Jackson in the fourth. The Brewers rallied to tie the score in the fifth on a triple by Sixto Lezcano, a walk, double by Pedro Garcia and single by Bill Sharp. In the sixth, with Todd pitching in relief for the A's, Johnny Briggs singled and Darrell Porter bounced to Todd, who threw late to second in an attempted forceout. After a groundout, Briggs scored on Todd's wild pitch.

Cubs 6, Giants 5 at Chicago (day game):
Bill Madlock, who tied the score with a homer in the ninth inning, drove in another run with a double in the 10th to give the Cubs a 6-5 victory over the Giants. The Cubs, after scoring three runs in the first on singles by Rob Sperring and Madlock, a walk, double by Jerry Morales and sacrifice fly by Manny Trillo, were leading, 3-1, going into the seventh when the Giants rallied for four runs on three singles, a walk and two errors. The Cubs pulled back within one run in their half on a single by Jose Cardenal, a stolen base, passed ball and infield out by Rick Monday. After Madlock's homer sent the game into overtime, Don Kessinger walked in the 10th, Geoff Zahn sacrificed and, after an intentional pass to Cardenal, Madlock hit his game-winning double.

Dodgers 6, Expos 5 at Montreal (night game):
Don Sutton became the first major league pitcher to win 10 games this season when the Dodgers defeated the Expos, 6-5. Jim Wynn and Steve Garvey homered for the Dodgers, while Davey Lopes drove in three runs with a double and single. After the Dodgers took a 4-3 lead, Ron Cey singled in the eighth inning, Rick Auerbach walked and, after a sacrifice by Sutton, Lopes singled to drive in both runners and provide the game-winning hit. Pat Scanlon homered in the Expos' half of the eighth. Sutton then departed with a blister on his pitching hand and Jim Brewer allowed the Expos' final run in the ninth on a walk and singles by Pepe Mangual and Barry Foote.

Mets 4, Astros 3 at New York (night game):
A three-run homer by Dave Kingman and the relief pitching of Bob Apodaca enabled the Mets to gain a 4-3 victory over the Astros with credit for the decision going to Tom Hall, who came out of the bullpen to make his first start in a New York uniform. Roger Metzger homered for the Astros in the third inning, but the Mets tied the score in their half with a single by Jerry Grote, a sacrifice, infield out and single by Felix Millan. Then in the fourth, after Rusty Staub and Ed Kranepool reached base with singles, Kingman hit his homer. Hall ran into trouble in the sixth. Metzger walked and scored on a double by Cesar Cedeno and a muff by Joe Torre on the throw from the outfield. Bob Watson also walked and Enos Cabell bunted safely to load the bases. Apodaca came in and got Doug Rader to ground into a double play, Cedeno scoring, before striking out Milt May to end the threat.

Phillies 12, Padres 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
In a power display, Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski each hit two homers and Mike Anderson added one to produce 11 of the Phillies' runs in a 12-1 trouncing of the Padres. Schmidt, who accounted for five RBIs, started his slugging with a two-run drive in the third inning. Anderson homered with a man on base in the fourth. Luzinski followed with a three-run shot in the fifth. Schmidt smashed his second homer of the game, driving in three runs, in the sixth before Luzinski came up later in the stanza with a mate aboard and also hit for the circuit. This was the first time that the Phillies had whacked five homers in one game at Veterans Stadium since moving into the new park in 1971. Dave Winfield tripled Enzo Hernandez home for the Padres' lone run in the fourth inning.

Reds 8, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Sparked by Joe Morgan's bases-loaded triple, the streaking Reds defeated the Pirates, 8-4, for their 10th victory in the last 11 games. A run-scoring double by Dave Concepcion and RBI singles by Gary Nolan and Pete Rose started the scoring in the second inning before the Reds made it 6-1 with Morgan's triple in the fourth. George Foster hit his second double of the game to help the Reds add their final two runs in the sixth. Dave Parker homered for the Pirates in the second and Duffy Dyer hit for the circuit with a man on base in the fifth. Dyer also drove in a run with a single in the seventh to force the exit of Nolan. Will McEnaney held the Pirates to one hit in the last 2 2/3 innings.

Cardinals 4, Braves 2 at St. Louis (night game):
Ron Reed, who was obtained from the Braves, made his first appearance in a Cardinal uniform and pitched seven innings to receive credit for a 4-2 victory over his former teammates. An error by Ron Fairly that led to a pair of unearned runs enabled the Braves to take a 2-1 lead against Reed in the fifth inning. Fairly made up for his error by hitting a homer to tie the score in the seventh. Luis Melendez followed with a triple and counted the go-ahead run on a double by Ken Reitz. After a sacrifice by Mario Guerrero, Keith Hernandez batted for Reed and flied to Dusty Baker, who threw home in time to get Reitz, but catcher Biff Pocoroba dropped the ball for an error.
