Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 4, Orioles 3 at Baltimore (night game):
A sacrifice fly by Rick Burleson in the 12th inning carried the Red Sox past the Orioles, 4-3, for their sixth straight victory. A pair of run-scoring singles by Bobby Grich gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead before the Red Sox rallied for three runs in the ninth on a walk to Burleson and singles by Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice, Rick Miller and Rico Petrocelli. The Orioles came back to tie the score in their half of the ninth with a pinch-double by Jim Northrup. However in the 12th frame, Miller walked, took third on a single by Juan Beniquez and then scored the winning run on Burleson's sacrifice fly.

Angels 12, Rangers 11 at California (night game):
A wild game that produced a total of 37 hits saw the Rangers score three runs in the 11th inning and the Angels come back with four in their half to gain a 12-11 victory. The Rangers routed Bill Singer in the first, scoring six runs. Mike Cubbage capped the outburst with a grand-slam homer for his first major league hit after the rookie second baseman had been collared in 17 previous trips to the plate. Ironically, an error by Cubbage enabled the Angels to score their winning run. The Rangers broke an 8-8 tie in the 11th with three unearned runs, two coming on a homer by Tom Grieve. In the Angels' counter-rally, John Doherty and Morris Nettles led off with doubles for the first run. Dave Chalk walked and, with two out, Rudy Meoli singled to drive in Nettles. Dave Collins singled for his fifth hit of the game, scoring Chalk with the tying run. Jerry Remy then hit a slow roller to Cubbage, who bobbled the ball, allowing Meoli to count the winning run.

Twins 5, White Sox 3 at Chicago (night game):
A three-run homer by Steve Brye in the first inning started the Twins off to a 5-3 victory over the White Sox. Dave Hamilton, making his first start for the White Sox since being obtained from the Athletics, walked Dan Ford and Eric Soderholm before being tagged for Brye's homer. A pass to Johnny Briggs, an infield out, single by Glenn Borgmann and sacrifice fly by Tom Kelly added a run in the sixth. The Twins posted their final tally in the ninth when Soderholm doubled and Briggs singled. White Sox scoring included a homer by Ken Henderson.

Brewers 6, Indians 0 at Cleveland (night game):
Bobby Darwin smashed his first homer since coming over from the Twins and Jim Slaton pitched a six-hitter as the Brewers defeated the Indians, 6-0. Darwin's circuit clout followed a double by George Scott in the first inning. The ex-Twin also drove in a run with a double in the fifth and capped his night with a single in the seventh. The Brewers' other scoring included a homer by Gorman Thomas.

Tigers 10, Yankees 9 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers erupted for seven runs in the first inning and added three more on a homer by Mickey Stanley in the seventh to stand off the Yankees, 10-9. The Tigers collected seven hits in their opening explosion, including a two-run double by John Wockenfuss. Stanley's decisive smash in the seventh followed a double by Dan Meyer and pass to Willie Horton. The Yankees, who had a two-run homer by Graig Nettles, trailed, 10-3, going into the ninth when they rallied for six runs, starting with a circuit clout by Bobby Bonds. Nettles drove in two runs with a double.

A's 3, Royals 1 at Oakland (night game):
Stan Bahnsen, making his first start for the Athletics since being obtained from the White Sox, allowed only five hits in 7 1/3 innings and received credit for a 3-1 victory over the Royals. Reggie Jackson knocked in two runs for the A's in the first inning after Bill North walked and Claudell Washington was safe on an error. Washington accounted for the other tally with a homer in the fifth. The Royals' lone run scored in the seventh when Hal McRae doubled and Jim Wohlford singled.

Braves 4, Giants 2 at Atlanta (night game):
A clutch relief performance by Tom House, who took over with the bases loaded and none out in the seventh inning. enabled the Braves to defeat the Giants, 4-2. With Dave May hitting a homer, the Braves took a 3-0 lead before the Giants rapped Phil Niekro for four straight singles, two runs crossing the plate on a hit by Dave Rader. Elias Sosa relieved and passed Glenn Adams. House then appeared and retired the next three batters without a run scoring.

Reds 7, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
Sparked by Pete Rose, who led off with a triple, the Reds exploded for six runs in the fifth inning, capping their outburst with a three-run homer by Cesar Geronimo, to defeat the Astros, 7-3. Rose scored the first run of the inning on a single by Ken Griffey. Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench walked to load the bases and Tony Perez batted in two runs with a single before Geronimo hit his homer. Tom Carroll, who had been recalled from Indianapolis (American Association), went 6 1/3 innings to register his first victory of the year with the Reds.

Pirates 5, Mets 1 at New York (night game):
Brooklyn-born John Candelaria, making his first pro appearance in New York, allowed only four hits and pitched the Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Mets. The rookie lefthander was matched against Tom Seaver, who was stopped on his 28-inning scoreless streak when Willie Stargell homered in the seventh. The Mets tied the score in the eighth. John Stearns and Jesus Alou singled, Stearns taking third and crossing the plate on a sacrifice fly by Jack Heidemann, who batted for Seaver. The Pirates then brought Candelaria his first major league victory by breaking loose against reliever Tom Hall for four runs in the ninth. Singles by Stargell, Dave Parker and Richie Zisk sent pinch-runner Art Howe home with the tie-breaking tally. Manny Sanguillen walked to load the bases and, after the next two batters struck out, Rennie Stennett cleared the sacks with a triple.

Phillies 7, Expos 4 at Philadelphia (night game):
A four-run rally in the eighth inning brought the Phillies a 7-4 victory over the Expos. Greg Luzinski homered for the Phillies with two men on base in the first, but the Expos eventually went ahead when Pete Mackanin homered for the leading run in the sixth. The Phillies opened the eighth with a single by Jay Johnstone and safe bunt by Mike Schmidt. After a sacrifice by Tony Taylor, Mike Rogodzinski delivered a pinch-single, scoring Jerry Martin, who ran for Johnstone. Schmidt crossed the plate when Ollie Brown was safe on an error. After an intentional pass to Dave Cash loaded the bases, the last two runs were forced home when Luzinski was hit by a pitch and Dick Allen walked.

Padres 2, Dodgers 1 at San Diego (night game):
Cheered on by 35 family members and friends among the crowd for the game, Brent Strom, who is a native and resident of San Diego, pitched the Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers in a duel with Don Sutton. Strom had lost one previous start since being called up from Hawaii (Pacific Coast), but the lefthander this time yielded only four hits, with the Dodgers' run coming on a homer by Steve Garvey in the second inning. Sutton also gave up only four hits, but Willie McCovey tied the score with a circuit clout in the fourth and the Padres put over the winning run in the sixth on a pass to Gene Locklear, sacrifice by Mike Ivie and single by Tito Fuentes.

Jerry Morales and Pete LaCock hit homers for the Cubs.
