Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 9, Red Sox 2 at Chicago (night game):
Jim Burton, who pitched a no-hitter for Pawtucket (International) before being called up by the Red Sox, was kayoed in the sixth inning in his major league debut and lost to the White Sox, 9-2. Burton gave up eight hits, including a homer by Deron Johnson in the second inning and another by Bob Coluccio with a man on base in the third. Burton was lifted in the sixth after a double by Carlos May and a single with one out by Ken Henderson. After Reggie Cleveland relieved, the White Sox pushed over four runs on a single by Pat Kelly, an error and single by Brian Downing.

Angels 7, Tigers 1 at Detroit (night game):
After John Hiller retired the side in the ninth inning to complete the Tigers' 5-3 victory in a game that had been suspended the night before, the Angels batted their way to a 7-1 victory in the regularly-scheduled contest. Ed Figueroa limited the Tigers to six hits and the only run off his deliveries was unearned. Joe Lahoud hit two homers for the Angels, driving in four runs. The Angels scored six times in the third. Bruce Bochte drove in one run with a single before Lahoud hit for the circuit with two men on base. Leroy Stanton followed with a double and Dave Chalk singled. Stanton scored on a wild pickoff throw by catcher John Wockenfuss and Chalk crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Ellie Rodriguez. Lahoud hit his second homer of the game in the ninth to wind up the scoring.

Royals 2, Indians 1 at Kansas City (night game):
A passed ball by John Ellis in the 10th inning allowed Jim Wohlford to score and gave the Royals a 2-1 victory over the Indians. Steve Busby, who pitched a five-hitter, yielded the Indians' run in the seventh on a walk to Rick Manning, single by Boog Powell and sacrifice fly by Rico Carty. Harmon Killebrew homered off Eric Raich to tie the score in the Royals' half. Wohlford singled in the 10th for his fourth hit of the game and stopped at third on a double by George Brett. Ellis then missed connections with the first pitch that Raich threw to Amos Otis, enabling Wohlford to score.

Brewers 9, A's 7 at Milwaukee (night game):
Hank Aaron hit a homer, double and single to provide a spark for the Brewers, who ended the Athletics' four-game winning streak, 9-7. Aaron's homer in the fifth inning was his sixth of the season and 739th of his career, but only his first in Milwaukee County Stadium since September 30, 1965, when the superstar was playing with the former Milwaukee Braves. The Brewers, who also scored on Aaron's double in the second inning, put the game away with four runs in the seventh. Johnny Briggs singled and George Scott homered for the first two tallies in the outburst and the other pair followed on two walks and a double by Gorman Thomas. Gene Tenace and Billy Williams hit homers for the A's. Williams' blow with two men on base in the eighth was the 400th of his career, making him the 16th batter in major league history to achieve that plateau.

Orioles 7, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
Jim Palmer became a 10-game winner by pitching the Orioles to a 7-1 victory over the Rangers. The Orioles started Palmer on the road to success with two runs in the second inning on singles by Brooks Robinson, Dave Duncan and Mark Belanger and sacrifice fly by Ken Singleton. Singles by Lee May and JIm Northrup led to Jim Bibby's exit in the third. Jackie Brown walked Robinson and Duncan to force in one run before Belanger singled to drive in two more.

[DH] Braves 5, Cubs 4 (night game) / Braves 6, Cubs 2 at Atlanta (night game):
An error by Bill Madlock with the bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning allowed the Braves to defeat the Cubs, 5-4, in the first game of a scheduled twi-night doubleheader. The second game was suspended after eight innings with the Braves leading, 6-2, to give the Cubs time to catch a plane for their flight home. The contest was completed on August 9. The slow-going first game lasted two hours, 48 minutes. The Braves had homers by Ralph Garr and Dave May, while Andre Thornton hit one for the Cubs, who tied the score at 4-4 in the eighth inning. Madlock tripled, Rick Monday was hit by a pitch and Jerry Morales singled to drive in Madlock. After a sacrifice, Monday counted the tying run on a balk by Tom House. The Braves opened the ninth with a single by Marty Perez, who was forced by Darrell Evans. Rowland Office sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Dusty Baker, Cito Gaston also walked. Madlock then booted a grounder by Larvell Blanks as Evans scored the winning run. In the second game, the Braves had a slim 3-2 lead before sending nine men to bat and scoring three runs in the eighth inning. Carl Morton batted in a pair with a double. Monday homered for the Cubs.

Reds 10, Cardinals 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
Staked to a 10-0 lead, Gary Nolan departed after allowing only three hits in six innings and gained his sixth straight victory as the Reds massacred the Cardinals, 10-1. Lynn McGlothen was the loser, but the Reds turned the game into a rout at the expense of Ron Bryant and Ryan Kurosaki with seven runs in the sixth. Bryant gave up three straight hits before being yanked in his first appearance with the Cardinals. Kurosaki yielded three hits and walked two while retiring only one batter before Greg Terlecky made his major league debut and cut off further scoring. The Cards picked up their run off Will McEnaney in the seventh on a double by Ted Simmons and single by Ken Reitz.

Pirates 4, Astros 2 at Houston (night game):
Dock Ellis, who had been sidelined by shoulder troubles, made his first appearance since May 20 and pitched five innings to receive credit for the Pirates' 4-2 victory over the Astros. Bob Watson hit a homer for the Astros, who held a 2-1 lead before the Pirates went ahead with two runs in the fifth on a single by Frank Taveras, sacrifice by Ellis, double by Rennie Stennett and single by Manny Sanguillen. Larry Demery finished the game on the mound for the Pirates, who added an insurance run in the ninth on a single by Dave Parker, a stolen base and an error.

Mets 2, Dodgers 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Jon Matlack pitched a three-hitter for the Mets and got a scoring combination from Wayne Garrett and Felix Millan to defeat the Dodgers, 2-0. Garrett and Millan hit doubles for the first run in the sixth inning. Garrett then singled in the eighth and scored from first base on another double by Millan. Don Sutton was turned back for the second straight time in a bid for his 11th victory.

Expos 3, Padres 2 at San Diego (day game):
Pete Mackanin walked with two out in the 15th inning and raced home from first base on a double by Mike Jorgensen to bring the Expos a 3-2 victory over the Padres. Jorgensen also drove in the Expos' first run with a single in the first inning and scored the second run after hitting another single in the fourth. Steve Rogers, who started for the Expos, allowed only three hits and left the game with a 2-1 lead after pitching seven innings. With Chuck Taylor on the mound in the eighth, Willie McCovey came up as a Padres' pinch-hitter and smashed a homer to tie the score.

Phillies 4, Giants 1 at San Francisco (day game):
Steve Carlton not only pitched a four-hitter but also had two singles and drove in one of the Phillies' runs in a 4-1 victory over the Giants. Two walks, a single by Chris Speier and sacrifice fly by Bruce Miller produced the Giants' run in the fourth inning. The Phillies bounced back with two in the fifth on a pair of walks, a throwing error by Mike Sadek, Carlton's single and a sacrifice fly by Dave Cash. The Phillies loaded the bases again in the seventh with the aid of Carlton's second single and added their last two runs on another sacrifice fly by Cash and squeeze bunt by Johnny Oates.
