Today's scores and summaries:

Rangers 3, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (night game):
The fifth pitcher to be used by the Rangers, Jackie Brown did not allow a hit in 4 1/3 innings of relief and was rewarded with a victory when Cesar Tovar drove a run home in the 12th to defeat the Orioles, 3-2. Mike Hargrove and Jeff Burroughs homered for the Rangers' first two tallies, but the Orioles picked up a counter on a single by Paul Blair, double by Tommy Davis and infield out by Lee May in the sixth and tied the score with a circuit clout by May in the eighth. In the 12th, Joe Lovitto singled, Jim Sundberg sacrificed and Tovar drove in the winning run with a single.

Red Sox 7, White Sox 6 at Boston (day game):
Three successive pinch-hitters came through when the Red Sox rallied for four runs in the ninth inning to defeat the White Sox, 7-6. Jim Kaat, who was coasting with a 6-3 lead, walked Jim Rice for openers. After Fred Lynn forced Rice, Carl Yastrzemski doubled. When the White Sox brought in righthander Rich Gossage, the Red Sox called on three lefthanded pinch-hitters. Bernie Carbo, batting for Dwight Evans, doubled to score Lynn. Tim McCarver went up for Doug Griffin and singled, Carbo stopping at third. Cecil Cooper batted for Bob Montgomery and singled to drive in Carbo. Rick Miller ran for McCarver and, after Juan Beniquez popped up, Rick Burleson singled to score Miller with the winning run.

Angels 2, Tigers 1 at California (night game):
Ed Figueroa doled out five singles and pitched the Angels to a 2-1 victory over the Tigers. The Angels picked up one run in the first inning on a pass to Jerry Remy, single by Mickey Rivers and forceout by Bruce Bochte. The run that beat Ray Bare, who made his first start for the Tigers, followed in the second on singles by Leroy Stanton and Ellie Rodriguez and an infield out by Billy Smith. The Tigers' lone run off Figueroa was unearned on a wild throw by Bochte in the third.

Indians 4, Royals 0 at Cleveland (night game):
Blue Moon Odom, making his first start for the Indians since being obtained from the Athletics May 22, allowed only two hits and shut out the Royals, 4-0. The Indians scored all their runs off Steve Busby on homers. Boog Powell connected with Rick Manning on base in the first inning and John Lowenstein, batting next, followed with a solo swat. Alan Ashby ended the scoring with a circuit clout in the fifth.

Yankees 6, Twins 3 at Minnesota (night game):
Thurman Munson drove in three runs with a homer and single to pace the Yankees to a 6-3 victory over the Twins. Thurman Munson hit his homer after Elliott Maddox walked in the fifth inning. The Yankees added three runs, all unearned, in the sixth. Rick Dempsey was safe on an error and advanced to third on a sacrifice and wild pitch before scoring on a safe bunt by Fred Stanley. Following a passed ball, Stanley crossed the plate when Maddox singled. Maddox then stole second and counted on a single by Munson. Graig Nettles walked and Dempsey doubled for the Yankees' final run in the seventh. Craig Kusick homered for the Twins. After Doc Medich left the mound, the Twins knocked out Sparky Lyle in the ninth, but Dick Tidrow came in to put a stop to a two-run rally.

A's 11, Brewers 3 at Oakland (night game):
Piling up eight runs in the first two innings, the Athletics trounced the Brewers, 11-3, to bring Ken Holtzman his first victory since May 17. The A's started with five runs in the opening frame on a pass to Bill North, singles by Bert Campaneris, Reggie Jackson and Billy Williams, a wild pitch, error and single by Sal Bando. In the second, North was hit by a pitch, Carnpaneris, Joe Rudi and Williams stroked singles and Claudell Washington lofted a sacrifice fly to add three more runs. Williams drove in another run with a double and Gene Tenace followed with a homer when the A's wrapped up their scoring in the sixth inning.

Giants 10, Cubs 8 at Chicago (day game):
Capping an outburst of five homers by the Giants, Derrel Thomas and Glenn Adams hit for the circuit in the ninth inning to defeat the Cubs, 10-8. Adams' homer was his second of the game. The Giants' other round-trippers came off the bats of Marc Hill and Bobby Murcer. Bill Madlock and Manny Trillo homered for the Cubs.

Dodgers 3, Expos 0 at Montreal (night game):
Although pitching hitless ball for five innings, Dennis Blair yielded three runs and was the loser when the Dodgers defeated the Expos, 3-0. In the fifth, Ron Cey was hit by a pitch. With one out, Rick Auerbach grounded into an apparent force play at second, but Larry Lintz dropped the ball and both runners were safe. Andy Messersmith walked to load the bases and Blair uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Cey to score. After Davey Lopes drew a pass to the fill sacks again, another wild pitch enabled Auerbach to cross the plate. Bill Buckner then hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the Dodgers' third run. The Dodgers wound up the game with two hits, getting singles by Willie Crawford and Cey off Don DeMola in the eighth inning.

Mets 1, Astros 0 at New York (night game):
The Mets' hottest hitter, Ed Kranepool, collected a double and two singles in four trips and drove in the game's only run to enable Jerry Koosman to beat the Astros, 1-0. Felix Millan walked with one out in the first inning and took third on a single by Cleon Jones. After Rusty Staub struck out, Kranepool came through with the game-deciding single. Jones saved Koosrnan's shutout with a key defensive play in the third, throwing out Tommy Helms at the plate when the runner tried to score from second on a single by Greg Gross. Doug Rader doubled in the fifth for the 1,000th hit of his major league career.

Phillies 7, Padres 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Consecutive homers by Mike Schmidt and Ollie Brown in the second inning sent the Phillies on their way to a 7-2 victory over the Padres. A single by Johnny Grubb, walk to Dave Winfield and singles by Willie McCovey and Tito Fuentes produced the Padres' pair in the first. The Phillies tied the score in their half when Bob Boone singled with the bases loaded. After Schmidt and Brown belted their homers in the second, the Phillies pulled away with another run in the fifth when Boone hit a sacrifice fly for his third RBI of the game. Two walks, a single by Terry Harmon and an error accounted for the Phillies' final pair in the seventh.

Pirates 2, Reds 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Jerry Reuss and two relievers combined on a two-hitter as the Pirates defeated the Reds, 2-1. After the Pirates scored a run in the first inning on a double by Rennie Stennett, an infield out and sacrifice fly by Al Oliver, Richie Hebner homered in the fifth to make it 2-0. Reuss held the Reds hitless until Dave Concepcion smashed a line drive that struck the lefthander on the leg and bounced away for a single. Reuss was forced to leave the game. Dave Giusti relieved and made what turned out to be a key play by picking Concepcion off second after a balk. As a result, the Reds scored only one run instead of two when Dan Driessen walked and Ken Griffey tripled.

Cardinals 5, Braves 2 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals, facing Ray Sadecki, whom they had traded to the Braves, were held to three hits in the first seven innings before breaking loose in the eighth to defeat the veteran southpaw, 5-2. The Braves scored their runs in the first on a single by Marty Perez, double by Darrell Evans, single by Cito Gaston and sacrifice fly by Dusty Baker. A wild pitch and wild throw by Sadecki enabled the Cardinals to tie the score with two unearned runs on one hit in the third. Sadecki suddenly lost his stuff in the eighth and the Cards broke the tie with three runs on a safe bunt by Ted Sizemore, single by Luis Melendez, triple by Reggie Smith and single by Ken Reitz.
