Today's scores and summaries:

A's 7, Tigers 5 at Detroit (night game):
A single by Claudell Washington and doubles by Joe Rudi and Reggie Jackson produced the tie-breaking runs in the eighth inning to give the Athletics a 7-5 victory over the Tigers. The A's got off to a 3-0 lead in the first on a double by Bert Campaneris, triple by Washington and homer by Jackson before adding two unearned runs in the fifth. The Tigers came back against Ken Holtzman in their half of the fifth with three runs on a single by Leon Roberts, double by John Wockenfuss and homer by Aurelio Rodriguez. Dan Meyer then tripled and Willie Horton homered to tie the score in the sixth.

[DH] Red Sox 10, Royals 4 (night game) / Royals 6, Red Sox 5 at Kansas City (night game):
Homers accounted for all of the Royals' runs in a 6-5 victory in the second game of a twi-night doubleheader after the Red Sox won the first game, 10-4, with a scoring outburst in the last four innings. The Royals had a 4-2 lead in the lidlifter until Bernie Carbo tied the score with a two-run homer in the sixth. The Red Sox went ahead with two more tallies in the seventh on singles by Cecil Cooper, Rick Miller and Rick Burleson and a wild pitch. Cooper drove in another run with a single in the eighth before Fred Lynn capped the Red Sox scoring by hitting a homer with two men on base in the ninth. The Red Sox took a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the nightcap, but the Royals began their slugging with a three-run blow by Frank White in the second. The Red Sox made it 5-3 in the sixth when Jim Rice doubled and scored on a single by Lynn, who hit safely in his 18th straight game. Tony Solaita cut the Royals' deficit with a circuit clout in the seventh. George Brett then hit the first homer of his career in Royals Stadium to tie the score in the eighth and Amos Otis followed with an inside-the-park drive to produce the winning run.

Brewers 10, Angels 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Hank Aaron and George Scott drove in three runs apiece to lead the Brewers' scoring in a 10-2 victory over the Angels. In the third inning, when the Brewers scored four runs, Aaron accounted for his RBIs with a double after singles by Tim Johnson and Robin Yount and a pass to Scott loaded the bases. Scott, who had previously driven in a run with an infield out in the first, homered with a man on base in the fourth when the Brewers scored four more runs.

Twins 7, Orioles 3 at Minnesota (night game):
Eric Soderholm batted in four runs with two homers to carry the Twins to a 7-3 victory over the Orioles. Ken Singleton had three hits including a homer, and Jim Northrup collected a double and single to pace the Orioles to a 3-2 lead before Soderholm hit his first homer to tie the score in the seventh. The Twins opened the eighth with a single by Jerry Terrell. Rod Carew was safe on an error by Bobby Grich and Larry Hisle beat out a bunt to load the bases. After Tony Oliva hit his second sacrifice fly of the game to break the tie, Soderholm iced the verdict with a three-run homer.

Yankees 2, White Sox 1 at New York (night game):
Backed by the batting of Graig Nettles, who drove in both of the Yankees' runs, Pat Dobson defeated the White Sox, 2-1. Nettles homered in the second inning and batted in the other run with a single in the seventh, scoring Thurman Munson, who had singled and advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Rick Dempsey. Dobson lost his bid for a shutout in the ninth when the White Sox picked up their run on singles by Carlos May and Ken Henderson and a sacrifice fly by Bill Melton.

Rangers 2, Indians 1 at Texas (night game):
Making his first start of the season after 23 relief appearances, Jim Umbarger emerged with a victory when the Rangers defeated the Indians, 2-1. Fritz Peterson, who started for the Indians, allowed just three hits through the first seven innings before allowing the Rangers' first run on a walk to Roy Smalley and two-out double by Cesar Tovar. Tom Buskey relieved and Toby Harrah also doubled, sending Tovar home with what proved to be the winning run. Umbarger weakened in the ninth and yielded the Indians' run with one out on back-to-back doubles by Rico Carty and Boog Powell. Stan Thomas retired one batter and walked one before Mike Kekich came in to rack up the final out.

Pirates 8, Braves 3 at Atlanta (night game):
After driving in one run with a sacrifice fly, Al Oliver hit a grand-slam homer to wrap up the Pirates' 8-3 victory over the Braves. Oliver lofted his sacrifice fly in the third inning when the Pirates took a 2-1 lead. Richie Zisk led off the fourth with a homer and Manny Sanguillen and Frank Taveras followed with singles. Jim Rooker was safe on an error by Larvell Blanks as Sanguillen scored. After Rennie Stennett struck out, Richie Hebner walked to load the bases for Oliver, who hit his homer to greet the arrival of Mike Beard on the mound in relief for the Braves.

Reds 18, Cubs 11 at Chicago (day game):
Friday the 13th proved unlucky for the Cubs, but not for the Reds, who went on the biggest batting binge in the N. L. so far this season with 24 hits to pound their way to an 18-11 victory. The Reds' hits and runs both represented season highs. The Cubs joined in the action with 15 hits. Johnny Bench homered with two men on base for the Reds in the first inning but the Cubs batted their way back and took an 8-6 lead with four runs in the sixth on singles by Pete LaCock, Don Kessinger and Bill Madlock and a homer by Jerry Morales. The Reds then erupted for five runs in the eighth in a rally that included round-trippers by George Foster and Pete Rose. Putting a lock on the victory, the Reds scored seven more runs in the ninth on a double by Ed Armbrister, pass to Foster, singles by Pedro Borbon, Rose, Ken Griffey and Doug Flynn, a double by Bill Plummer and single by Tony Perez, together with an error. The Cubs made the final score more respectable by counting three times in their half of the ninth.

Phillies 5, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Jim Lonborg pitched a two-hitter and Jerry Martin smashed a grand-slam homer to power the Phillies to a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers. Davey Lopes drew a walk from Lonborg in the first inning, stole second and scored the Dodgers' run when Jim Wynn doubled. Wynn doubled again in the ninth for the Dodgers' other hit. The Phillies were held hitless by Andy Messersmith until the seventh when they scored the tying run on singles by Johnny Oates, Greg Luzinski and Dick Allen. Tony Taylor then drew a two-out walk to load the bases and Martin hit his grand slam for the game-winning blow.

Mets 7, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
George Stone, who had been shelved by shoulder trouble, made his first pitching appearance since last July 30 and allowed only two hits in seven innings as the Mets defeated the Padres, 7-2. Both hits off Stone came in the first inning and resulted in a run for the Padres. Stone helped bat himself into the lead in the second. After John Milner and Jerry Grote singled, Stone also singled to drive in the tying run. Del Unser later doubled, scoring Grote and Stone. Mike Phillips knocked in two more runs with a triple in the fifth and Rusty Staub batted in a pair with a bases-loaded single in the sixth. Rick Baldwin, who finished the game for Stone, gave up the Padres' second run in the ninth while completing the combined four-hitter.

Expos 4, Giants 2 at San Francisco (night game):
Pitching five innings of scoreless relief, Dan Warthen was rewarded with a victory when the Expos defeated the Giants, 4-2. The Giants scored their runs off Fred Scherman in the first inning on a safe bunt by Bobby Murcer, walk to Chris Speier, infield hit by Willie Montanez and double by Bruce Miller. The Expos came back to tie the score with homers by Pete Mackanin and Bob Bailey before posting their winning margin in the fifth on a single by Larry Parrish, an error on a bunt by Barry Foote, sacrifice fly by Pepe Mangual and single by Tim Foli.

Cardinals 6, Astros 2 at St. Louis (night game):
Ron Reed gained his third straight victory since being acquired from the Braves and also helped himself at bat with a double and single as the Cardinals defeated the Astros, 6-2. Lou Brock singled in the first inning, stole second and scored on a double by Ted Sizemore, who also crossed the plate on a single by Reggie Smith. The Cardinals then put the game away with three runs in the fourth. Simmons, Luis Melendez and Ken Reitz hit successive singles to load the bases and Reed doubled, driving in two runs. Reitz was trapped between third and home and was tagged out, but when Larry Milbourne dropped a pop fly by Brock, Reed was able to score. Reed also crossed the plate with the Cards' last run in the seventh, hitting a single and completing the journey around the bases on an infield out, wild pitch and single by Willie Davis.
