Today's scores and summaries:

Tigers 3, A's 2 at Detroit (day game):
A groin injury that forced Sonny Siebert to leave the mound with two out in the second inning also resulted in the veteran righthander's absorbing a tough-luck defeat as the Athletics lost to the Tigers, 3-2. Siebert had a count of two balls and no strikes on Tom Veryzer before departing. Dave Hamilton relieved and completed the walk, which was charged to Siebert. John Wockenfuss then singled and Aurelio Rodriguez drove in both runners with a double. Wockenfuss homered on his next trip to the plate in the fourth and the A's failed to catch up when they scored twice in the sixth on a single by Claudell Washington, triple by Joe Rudi and a wild pitch.

Red Sox 4, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
Hitting safely in his 19th straight game, Fred Lynn smashed a three-run homer to help the Red Sox defeat the Royals, 4-3. Lynn's round-tripper drove in Bernie Carbo and Rick Burleson in the third inning. The Royals came back with singles by Amos Otis, John Mayberry and Hal McRae for a run in the fourth and tied the score in the sixth when Mayberry and Harmon Killebrew doubled and Fran Healy singled. Carl Yastrzemski doubled for the Red Sox in the eighth, advanced to third after a long fly by Lynn and scored the deciding run on a sacrifice fly by Jim Rice.

Brewers 6, Angels 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
A crowd of 36,191 fans who turned out to watch Nolan Ryan saw the Brewers defeat the Angels' fireballing righthander, 6-4, with the aid of Hank Aaron's seventh homer of the season and 740th of his career. The Brewers scored twice in the first inning on a single by Robin Yount, pass to George Scott, an error and single by Darrell Porter. The Angels came back with a pair in the second, but Aaron shattered the tie with his homer in the third. Two runs for the winning margin followed in the fifth. Sixto Lezcano led off with a double and scored on a single by Scott. After an infield hit by Aaron, Johnny Briggs walked. Porter then forced Scott at the plate, but Pedro Garcia hit a sacrifice fly to score Aaron. Dave Chalk batted in two of the Angels' runs with a double and sacrifice fly.

Orioles 7, Twins 0 at Minnesota (day game):
Winning for only the second time this season, Ross Grimsley pitched the Orioles to a 7-0 victory over the Twins. The Orioles gave Grimsley four runs for working room in the third inning. After singles by Ken Singleton and Al Bumbry around a pass to Mark Belanger loaded the bases, Lee May hit a two-run single, Jim Northrup added a tally with a sacrifice fly and Don Baylor drove in a run with a double. Baylor also homered in the ninth inning.

White Sox 7, Yankees 2 at New York (night game):
Deron Johnson, serving as designated hitter for the White Sox, drove in five runs with two homers and a sacrifice fly to beat the Yankees, 7-2. Johnson hit his first homer of the game in the fourth inning to tie the score at 1-1. The White Sox then went ahead with two runs in the sixth on singles by Brian Downing and Jorge Orta around a stolen base, an error and Johnson's sacrifice fly. In the seventh, after a double by Bucky Dent and singles by Pat Kelly and Orta produced one run, Johnson accounted for three more with his second circuit clout. Graig Nettles homered for the Yankees in the ninth.

Rangers 2, Indians 1 at Texas (night game):
The Indians suffered their seventh straight loss and fifth in that span by a one-run margin when the Rangers gained a 2-1 victory in a duel between Fergie Jenkins and Roric Harrison. Harrison, a loser in his first decision with the Indians since being obtained from the Braves, served up a homer by Cesar Tovar in the first inning. John Ellis tied the score with a circuit clout in the sixth, but the Rangers put over the winning run in the seventh when Jim Sundberg doubled and Toby Harrah singled.

Pirates 2, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
The relief pitching of Dave Giusti in the ninth inning enabled the Pirates to emerge with a 2-1 victory over the Braves. The Pirates scored what proved to be the deciding run when Al Oliver, Dave Parker and Richie Zisk hit singles in the sixth inning. Jerry Reuss was removed in the ninth with runners on first and second. After Giusti relieved, Ed Goodson sacrificed. Shortstop Frank Taveras grabbed a grounder by Larvell Blanks and forced the runners to hold up before throwing to first for the putout. Biff Pocoroba then struck out to end the game.

Reds 11, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
Johnny Bench collected four straight hits and Tony Perez drove in four runs as the Reds built up an 11-3 score against the Cubs before the game was suspended after eight innings because of darkness. The final inning was played before the next day's regularly scheduled game. The rain that caused a delay of one hour after seven innings, and the Reds' extended batting sprees were factors in cutting the action short of a completed contest. The Reds were ahead, 5-1, before the rain fell. After the game resumed, the Cincy crew fell on Bob Locker for five runs in the eighth. Bench hit his second double of the game during the stanza and Perez batted in two runs with a single.

Dodgers 4, Phillies 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Dodgers snapped their four-game losing streak when Ken McMullen hit a pinch-homer with two men on base in the seventh inning to defeat the Phillies, 4-3. With the score tied, 1-1, Manny Mota batted for Burt Hooton and singled. Davey Lopes walked. McMullen then came up for Bill Buckner and hit his homer. Mike Marshall pitched the last two innings for the Dodgers and allowed one run on three singles in each stanza.

Padres 7, Mets 1 at San Diego (night game):
Randy Jones, who won only eight games while losing 22 in 1974, brought his current season's record to 9-3 by pitching the Padres to a 7-1 victory over the Mets. The only run off Jones was unearned on an error by Mike Ivie in the second inning. The Padres came back with two runs off Jerry Koosman in their half on the first of four hits by Tito Fuentes, a double by Dick Sharon and single by Fred Kendall. Ivie made up for his error with a two-run double in the third.

Expos 3, Giants 1 at San Francisco (day game):
After escaping from a jam at the expense of only one run in the first inning, Woddie Fryman pitched the Expos to a 3-1 victory over the Giants. The Expos scored all their runs in the first after loading the bases on walks to Pepe Mangual and Mike Jorgensen around a single by Larry Lintz. Bob Bailey singled, driving in two runs, and the third counter followed when Pat Scanlon forced Bailey. The Giants then raised their threat with two out in the home half when Chris Arnold and Chris Speier singled and Willie Montanez walked to fill the sacks. Arnold scored on a wild pitch by Fryman, but the veteran lefthander retired Bruce Miller to stave off further scoring.

Astros 9, Cardinals 0 at St. Louis (night game):
The Astros gained what was just their third victory in the last 13 games when Tom Griffin pitched a three-hitter for his first shutout of the season and beat the Cardinals, 9-0. Cliff Johnson and Bob Watson swung the big bats for the Astros. Johnson drove in four runs with a homer and single, while Watson accounted for three RBIs with two singles and a sacrifice fly.
