Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 5, Indians 3 at Cleveland (night game):
Elrod Hendricks, who entered the game with a batting average of .135, drove in three runs and Mike Cuellar gained his first victory since May 11 as the Orioles defeated the Indians, 5-3. Hendricks hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning and homered in the fifth. After Brooks Robinson doubled in the seventh, Hendricks batted in his teammate with a double and also scored himself on an error. Boog Powell hit two homers and Frank Robinson rapped one off Cuellar, who left the game in the eighth inning. Doyle Alexander finished.

Red Sox 7, Tigers 6 at Detroit (night game):
A homer by Juan Beniquez in the eighth inning supplied the run that enabled the Red Sox to defeat the Tigers, 7-6. The outfielder's smash put the Red Sox ahead, 7-4, but the Tigers narrowed the gap in their half of the eighth when Ron LeFlore, who had four hits, drove in a run with a triple and scored on a single by Gary Sutherland. The Red Sox had to call on six pitchers, beginning with Rick Wise, Diego Segui and Roger Moret. In the ninth, Dick Pole gave up a hit with two out and Bill Lee yielded another before Dick Drago came in to save the game.

Royals 3, Angels 2 at Kansas City (night game):
Three runs in the first inning, two of them unearned on a pair of errors by Orlando Ramirez, were all that the Royals needed to defeat the Angels, 3-2, behind the five-hit pitching of Steve Busby. The Royals loaded the bases in the first when Vada Pinson and George Brett singled and Ramirez booted a bouncer by Amos Otis. Ramirez then let a grounder by John Mayberry skip through him for a second error, allowing Pinson and Brett to score. Hal McRae followed with a sacrifice fly. Busby blanked the Angels until the ninth when they scored their two runs on a walk to Joe Lahoud, singles by Leroy Stanton and Dave Chalk and an infield out by Doug Collins.

[DH] A's 4, Twins 2 (night game) / A's 8, Twins 7 at Minnesota (night game):
After Reggie Jackson and Bert Campaneris drove in two runs apiece to account for a 4-2 victory in the first game, the Athletics exploded for eight runs in the fifth inning of the second game and defeated the Twins, 8-7, to complete the sweep of a twi-night doubleheader. Campaneris batted in his two runs in the opener with a single in the third inning. Jackson homered in the fourth and added an RBI with a double in the eighth. Dan Ford hit an inside-the-park homer for one of the Twins' six safeties off Vida Blue. In the nightcap, the Twins had a 4-0 lead, three runs coming on a homer by Larry Hisle, before the A's went on their scoring rampage in the fifth with a three-run double by Gene Tenace and two-run single by Bill North among their hits.

[DH] Brewers 4, Yankees 3 (night game) / Yankees 4, Brewers 2 at New York (night game):
Faced with the loss of both games, the Yankees rallied for three runs in the ninth inning to gain a 4-2 victory for a split of a twi-night doubleheader with the Brewers, who won the opener, 4-3, on an unearned run. In the first game, the Yankees scored all their runs in the fifth inning, two crossing the plate on a pinch-single by Roy White. The Brewers picked up a pair in the seventh and put over the tying and winning runs in the eighth. Kurt Bevacqua and Gorman Thomas singled and, after Robin Yount forced Bevacqua, Sixto Lezcano singled to score Thomas. George Scott then lifted a pop fly behind short and when Jim Mason dropped the ball, Yount scurried across the plate. In the nightcap, Terry Whitfield led off Yankees' ninth with a single and Thurman Munson beat out a bunt. Chris Chambliss grounded into a double play, wiping out Munson. Graig Nettles singled to tie the score at 2-2 and Ed Herrmann followed with a homer to provide the winning margin.

White Sox 13, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
Starting with a three-run homer by Deron Johnson in the first inning, the White Sox walloped the Rangers, 13-3, to provide Jim Kaat with his 10th victory of the season. Kaat failed to finish, however, going out in the seventh in favor of Rich Gossage. Bucky Dent singled and Carlos May walked ahead of Johnson's homer. The White Sox went on to pile up a total of 16 hits and beat the Rangers for the first time in seven meetings this year.

Cubs 9, Phillies 5 at Chicago (day game):
After trailing, 5-0, the Cubs rallied with three RBIs by Tim Hosley and two each by Don Kessinger and Jerry Morales to defeat the Phillies, 9-5. Phillies' runs included a homer by Greg Luzinski. The Cubs wiped out their deficit with six runs on seven hits in the fifth inning. Hosley drove in one run with a single, Kessinger plated a pair with single and Morales knocked in two with a double. The Cubs wrapped up their scoring in the sixth. Manny Trillo singled for his third hit of the game and Hosley followed with a homer. Then, after singles by Tom Dettore and Kessinger, Dettore scored on a wild pitch.

Braves 5, Reds 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
Carl Morton pitched a three-hitter and Dave May smashed a grand-slam homer to provide the Braves with a 5-1 victory over the Reds. A single by Ralph Garr, double by Mike Lum and intentional pass to Dusty Baker preceded May's drive that ended Gary Nolan's personal six-game winning streak. Darrell Evans homered off reliever Fred Norman for another run in the eighth. Morton held the Reds hitless until Joe Morgan doubled in the seventh. Morgan added a single in the ninth and scored the Reds' run on a double by Johnny Bench.

Dodgers 6, Astros 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Pitching a four-hitter, Andy Messersmith became a 10-game winner when the Dodgers defeated the Astros, 6-1. Ron Cey started Messersmith on the way to triumph with a three-run homer in the first inning after Davey Lopes and Jim Wynn reached base on singles. Steve Yeager added a homer in the fourth. A run-scoring single by pinch-hitter Enos Cabell spoiled Messersmith's shutout bid in the eighth.

[DH] Expos 6, Mets 5 (night game) / Mets 5, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
Two rookies, Gary Carter and Dan Warthen, were standouts as the Expos won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-5, before the Mets came back to take the second game, 5-2, in 11 innings. The Mets jumped off to a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the lidlifter, two scoring on a double by Rusty Staub, who also accounted for another RBI with a single in the fourth. Carter singled for one of two runs in the Expos' half of the first and Larry Parrish homered in the fourth. The Expos then went ahead to win when Jose Morales and Bob Bailey singled in the fifth and Carter hit for the circuit. Warthen pitched six scoreless innings in relief of Don Stanhouse, allowing only three hits, to gain the victory. In the nightcap, the Expos were stopped on their six-game winning streak when the Mets shattered a 2-2 tie in the 11th. With two out, John Milner walked and counted the tie-breaking run on a triple by Mike Phillips. After walks to John Stearns and Harry Parker loaded the bases, Wayne Garrett added an insurance pair with a single. Expos' scoring in the game included a homer by Pepe Mangual.

Cardinals 7, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Ted Simmons, Reggie Smith and Willie Davis collected nine hits among them as the Cardinals broke out of their three-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory over the Pirates, who were stopped on a five-game winning streak. Simmons had four straight singles, Davis collected a double and two singles and Smith rapped a double and single, driving in three runs. The Cards, after picking up an unearned marker in the second, added enough runs to win with four in the fifth on singles by Lou Brock, Ted Sizemore, Davis, Smith, Simmons and Ken Reitz.

Giants 3, Padres 1 at San Francisco (night game):
The Giants snapped a six-game losing streak behind the pitching of Pete Falcone, who defeated the Padres, 3-1. A walk to Bobby Murcer, an infield out and single by Gary Thomasson started the Giants' scoring in the fourth inning. Their two other runs followed in the sixth on a double by Chris Speier, pass to Thomasson, single by Steve Ontiveros and sacrifice fly by Dave Rader. The Padres averted a shutout in the eighth with a double by Bobby Tolan, an infield out and sacrifice fly by Fred Kendall.
