Aided by an error, the Orioles scored on a sacrifice fly by Paul Blair in the 11th inning to defeat the Royals, 3-2. The Royals took a 2-1 lead in the fourth when George Brett homered, but the Orioles tied the score in the eighth. Al Bumbry doubled, advanced to third on a long fly by Bobby Grich and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Tommy Davis. In the 11th, Jim Northrup singled. Lee May bunted to Marty Pattin, who threw to second in an attempted forceout, but Fred Patek let the ball get away for an error, allowing Northrup to reach third. The Royals then walked Ken Singleton intentionally to load the bases and set the stage for Blair's sacrifice fly.

Red Sox 13, Twins 10 at Boston (night game):
Dwight Evans drove in six runs with a pair of homers, including the first grand slam of his major league career, to lead the slugging of the Red Sox in a 13-10 victory over the Twins. Joe Decker, who started for the Twins, walked Carl Yastrzemski, Fred Lynn and Jim Rice to load the bases for Evans' jackpot wallop in the first inning. The Twins, who outhit the Red Sox, 14-9, came back to take a 5-4 lead with the aid of a homer by Tony Oliva, but the Red Sox went ahead to stay with five runs in the third. Yastrzemski walked, Lynn singled and both scored on a double by Rice. Evans followed with his second homer of the game. Another run scored on a double by Bob Montgomery and an error. The Red Sox counted what proved to be their winning margin in the seventh. Montgomery was hit by a pitch, Doug Griffin walked, Bob Heise singled and Rick Burleson doubled.

Angels 6, Brewers 0 at California (night game):
Bidding for his second straight no-hitter, Nolan Ryan was frustrated when Hank Aaron singled with two out in the sixth inning, but the Angels' blazing ace had no trouble shutting out the Brewers, 6-0. After Aaron's single, George Scott added another hit for the Brewers with a single in the eighth. Ryan's victory was his 10th of the season and the shutout was his fifth. The Angels put their flame-thrower on easy street with four runs in the first. Dave Chalk drew a pass with the bases loaded to force in the first run and Leroy Stanton then cleared the sacks with a triple. Stanton later made it a four-RBI game with a homer in the sixth.

Yankees 5, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
The Yankees handed Wilbur Wood his 10th defeat of the season, knocking out the veteran southpaw in the third inning while scoring all their runs to beat the White Sox, 5-1. Four singles, together with a sacrifice fly by Thurman Munson, produced two runs in the first and two more followed in the second when Chris Chambliss singled and Bobby Bonds homered. Singles by Roy White and Munson and a double by Chambliss added the Yankees' final run in the third. The White Sox got their only run in the home half of the third on singles by Jorge Orta and Bob Coluccio around a walk to Brian Downing.

Manager Frank Robinson, serving as the Indians' designated hitter, smashed a pair of three-run homers to overpower the Rangers, 7-5. Robinson started his slugging with Buddy Bell and Boog Powell on base in the first inning. The Rangers came back with the aid of boundary belts by Jeff Burroughs and Mike Hargrove to take a 5-4 lead. Rick Manning singled for the Indians in the eighth. George Hendrick sacrificed and was safe at first when Fergie Jenkins dropped the throw covering the bag. The Rangers would have passed Robinson if first base had been open, but instead Jenkins had to pitch to the Indians' manager, who capitalized on the opportunity by hitting his second three-run homer.

Tigers 11, A's 2 at Oakland (night game):
Mickey Lolich became the major leagues' lefthanded leader in strikeouts while pitching the Tigers to an 11-2 victory over the Athletics. Lolich fanned four to bring his career total to 2,586, going ahead of Warren Spahn, who had whiffed 2,583. Willie Horton led the Tigers' attack in support of Lolich, driving in four runs, including three with a homer in the sixth inning. mickey Stanley also had a circuit clout among the Tigers' 16 hits. Lolich, who gained his fourth straight victory, was touched for seven hits including a homer by Joe Rudi, before leaving the mound with an 11-2 lead after six innings. John Hiller finished.

Reds 5, Cubs 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
The streaking Reds gained their 13th victory in the last 16 games by beating the Cubs, 5-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Don Gullett, who turned in his sixth complete game of the season. George Foster homered after a single by Dan Driessen in the second inning to give Gullett all the runs that the southpaw needed. The Reds added another on a single by Pete Rose, double by Joe Morgan and sacrifice fly by Johnny Bench before the Cubs picked up their lone tally in the sixth on singles by Jose Cardenal and Bill Madlock and a sacrifice fly by Andre Thornton. Dave Concepcion iced the Reds' victory by driving in their final two runs with a double in the eighth.

Cardinals 6, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Bob Forsch pitched a two-hitter and Willie Davis made his Cardinal debut with a single and double in five trips to mark a 6-0 victory over the Astros. The Cards were stymied by Larry Dierker until the sixth inning when they exploded for all their runs. Ted Simmons walked, Bake McBride doubled and Ken Reitz homered to smash a scoreless tie. Mario Guerrero and Forsch followed with singles and Lou Brock doubled to add another tally. When Ted Sizemore flied out, Forsch was caught off base and was doubled up, but the Cardinals continued their attack when Davis singled to score Brock and Reggie Smith doubled to drive in Davis.

Braves 4, Mets 1 at New York (night game):
Bearing down with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning, Phil Niekro struck out Ed Kranepool and retired Dave Kingman on a grounder to finish the Braves' 4-1 victory over the Mets. The Braves got their scoring underway with two runs in the first. Marty Perez singled, Darrell Evans was safe on an error and Dave May singled for the first marker. Then, after a pass to Dusty Baker loaded the bases, Larvell Blanks walked to force in a second run. Kingman homered for the Mets' counter in the second, but the Braves pulled away again with a single by Vic Correll and double by Bob Beall in the third and their final run on singles by Correll, Blanks and Niekro in the seventh.

Dodgers 3, Phillies 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Coming off the disabled list, Mike Marshall made his first appearance since May 9, allowed only one hit in three innings and saved the Dodgers' 3-2 victory over the Phillies. Jay Johnstone tripled and Greg Luzinski hit a sacrifice fly for the Phillies' first run off Burt Hooton in the fourth. but the Dodgers took the lead in the fifth with singles by Joe Ferguson and Steve Yeager, an error by Luzinski on Yeager's hit and a double by Rick Auerbach. The Dodgers then added what proved to be the deciding run in the sixth when Jim Wynn doubled and Ron Cey singled. Mike Schmidt homered for the Phillies in their half of the sixth. After rain forced a 50-minute delay in the seventh, Marshall came in to finish the game for Hooton.

Pirates 7, Giants 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Successive homers by Dave Parker and Richie Zisk climaxed the Pirates' five-run outburst in the sixth inning in a 7-2 victory over the Giants. A homer by Von Joshua in the third and singles by Derrel Thomas, Bobby Murcer and Willie Montanez in the sixth gave the Giants a 2-0 lead before the Pirates erupted. Rennie Stennett singled, Richie Hebner doubled and Al Oliver singled for the first two runs. Parker then hit his homer to score behind Oliver. Zisk followed Parker to the plate and also homered to cap the inning.
