Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Orioles 3, Red Sox 0 (day game) / Red Sox 5, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (day game):
After being shut out by Mike Cuellar in the first game of a doubleheader, 3-0, the Red Sox snapped a string of 25 scoreless innings against Oriole pitching and won the second game, 5-1. The Orioles scored their initial run in the lidlifter on singles by Bobby Grich and Mark Belanger around a sacrifice in the second inning and added their other tallies in the eighth when Don Baylor homered with a man on base. In the nightcap, the Red Sox finally ended their scoring drouth in the fifth inning when Juan Beniquez singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Rico Petrocelli. The Red Sox added another run in that stanza to take a 2-1 lead and went on to win behind the pitching of Luis Tiant, who scattered seven hits and struck out 12.

Angels 1, Rangers 0 at California (day game):
A brilliant pitching performance by Ed Figueroa, who yielded only two hits and retired 19 straight batters at one stretch, enabled the Angels to defeat the Rangers, 1-0. Fergie Jenkins was the loser on an unearned run in the fourth inning. Bruce Bochte beat out a dribbler to Roy Smalley, raced to third on the shortstop's bad throw and crossed the plate on a single by Joe Lahoud. Lenny Randle, who singled in the second, was the only Ranger to reach base until Roy Smalley led off the ninth with another single. Then, with two out, Mike Cubbage and Mike Hargrove walked to load the bases, but Figueroa bore down and saved his victory by retiring Jeff Burroughs on a fly ball for the final out.

[DH] White Sox 6, Twins 5 (day game) / White Sox 9, Twins 2 at Chicago (day game):
Jesse Jefferson and Cecil Upshaw each yielded only one hit as the White Sox posted a 9-2 victory in the second game to complete the sweep of a doubleheader after a two-base hit by Bob Coluccio in the 10th inning beat the Twins in the first game, 6-5. Although Rod Carew, Johnny Briggs and Dan Ford hit homers for the Twins in the opener, the White Sox held a 5-4 lead going into the ninth before being forced into a tie when Steve Brye singled, Briggs walked and Jerry Terrell singled. With two out in the 10th, Bucky Dent beat out an infield hit, Brian Downing walked and Coluccio doubled to drive in pinch-runner Lee Richard. Jefferson, who started the nightcap, walked Dan Ford to open the sixth inning and gave up a single by Eric Soderholm for the Twins' only hit off his deliveries. After Tony Oliva forced Soderholm, Ford scoring, Jefferson left the mound because his arm was beginning to feel the effects of being hit by a batted ball earlier in the game. Upshaw relieved and the Twins' only other hit came when Briggs homered in the seventh. The White Sox iced the victory in the third when Deron Johnson homered with a man on base and Buddy Bradford hit for the circuit with two aboard.

Indians 3, Brewers 2 at Cleveland (day game):
Winning for only the third time in their last 15 games, with all three victories coming on Sundays, the Indians were able to beat the Brewers, 3-2, when Rico Carty was hit by a pitched ball with the bases loaded in the 10th inning. The Indians scored their first two runs in the fifth on a double by Carty, pass to Oscar Gamble, double by Alan Ashby and infield out by Duane Kuiper. George Scott knocked in the Brewers' tying tallies with a single in the seventh. John Lowenstein drew a walk to open the Indians' 10th and moved around to third on a wild pickoff attempt and a sacrifice. The Brewers then walked Rick Manning and Boog Powell intentionally to load the bases. Eduardo Rodriguez, replacing Ed Sprague, struck out George Hendrick, but hit Carty with a pitch that forced in Lowenstein with the winning run.

Yankees 5, Tigers 3 at Detroit (day game):
A two-run triple by Sandy Alomar, who was batting only .198, put the Yankees on the road to a 5-3 victory over the Tigers. Chris Chambliss and Ed Herrmann hit doubles in the fourth inning to tie the score at 1-1. Ed Brinkman singled, Herrmann stopping at third, and Alomar then drove them both home with his triple. The Yankees added two more runs for their winning margin in the ninth on a single by Roy White, pass to Ron Blomberg, single by Chambliss and sacrifice fly by Graig Nettles.

[DH] A's 7, Royals 6 (day game) / A's 8, Royals 1 at Oakland (day game):
The Athletics rallied for two runs on a double by Sal Bando in the 12th inning to win the first game of a doubleheader, 7-6, before completing the sweep by defeating the Royals in the second game, 8-1. Bando and Reggie Jackson hit homers to pace the A's to a 5-2 lead in the lidlifter, but the Royals chased Vida Blue and tied the score with three runs in the ninth. The Royals then took the lead in the 12th with a run on an error by Bert Campaneris and singles by Jim Wohlford and George Brett. In the A's half, Jackson singled and was forced by Joe Rudi, who was replaced on the paths by Don Hopkins. Gene Tenace walked. The Royals then brought in Lindy McDaniel to face Bando, who doubled to drive in the tying and winning runs. In the nightcap, Dick Bosman pitched a five-hitter for the A's and had the support of a two-run homer by Billy Williams. Claudell Washington, who rapped three singles, also drove in two runs.

[DH] Braves 8, Giants 2 (day game) / Giants 5, Braves 2 at Atlanta (day game):
The Braves erupted for seven runs in the first inning and coasted to an 8-2 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but it was different in the nightcap when Pete Falcone yielded only three hits and pitched the Giants to a 5-2 triumph. Ed Halicki, who started the lidlifter for the Giants, gave up four hits and two walks in the first inning, with an error by Derrel Thomas thrown in, while retiring only one batter. The Braves added a run in the second, but Mike Thompson failed to profit from the big lead. The Braves' starter was removed after walking three straight batters with none out in the third. Mike Beard relieved and gained his first major league victory, with the Braves' run coming on a sacrifice fly by Larvell Blanks. In the nightcap, Falcone did not yield a hit until Rod Gilbreath and Ralph Garr each singled with two out in the eighth. Falcone then lost his bid for a shutout in the ninth when the rookie walked Dusty Baker and Darrell Evans and Blanks doubled. Thomas drove in three runs for the Giants with a pair of singles and Dave Rader hit his first homer of the season.

Astros 8, Reds 4 at Houston (day game):
The Astros snapped their five-game losing streak by defeating the Reds, 8-4, with a 15-hit attack that included homers by Cliff Johnson and Cesar Cedeno. Larry Dierker gave up a homer by Tony Perez among 11 hits off his deliveries, but the Reds were able to score only one run at a time. The Astros, on the other hand, jumped on Gary Nolan for three runs in the second on Johnson's homer, a double by Enos Cabell and singles by Rob Andrews and Greg Gross. Cedeno added his homer in the third. The Astros iced their victory with three runs off Rawly Eastwick in the seventh. Dierker batted in two of them with his second single of the game.

Pirates 2, Mets 0 at New York (day game):
The Pirates scored one run on the wildness of Randy Tate and another as the result of an error to defeat the Mets, 2-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Dock Ellis. In the second inning, Tate walked Richie Hebner and Richie Zisk. After picking Zisk off first base, Tate hit Paul Popovich with a pitch, passed Ellis to load the bases and walked Frakn Taveras to force in Hebner. Ellis counted the other run in the ninth after reaching base on an error by Mike Phillips. Taveras sacrificed and Al Oliver sent Ellis home with a single.

[DH] Expos 4, Phillies 0 (day game) / Phillies 4, Expos 3 at Philadelphia (day game):
The Phillies, after being shut out by Steve Rogers in the first game of a doubleheader, 4-0, were on the verge of losing the second game until they rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Expos, 4-3. Rogers swung an effective bat in his own behalf, hitting a single and scoring in the sixth inning and driving in two runs with another single in the seventh. In the nightcap, the Expos took a 3-1 lead with two unearned runs in the seventh before Jay Johnstone narrowed the Phillies' deficit with a homer in the eighth. Greg Luzinski then led off the ninth with a homer to tie the score. Tommy Hutton followed with a single and, after two out, scored the winning run when Tony Taylor delivered a double as a pinch-hitter for Mike Anderson.

Dodgers 3, Padres 2 at San Diego (day game):
Bill Buckner doubled in the eighth inning and scored on a double by Willie Crawford to give the Dodgers a 3-2 victory over the Padres. Al Downing pitched the first six innings for the Dodgers and left with a 2-1 lead. After Mike Marshall took over, the Padres tied the score in the seventh with an unearned run on an infield hit by Bobby Tolan, wild throw by Ron Cey and single by Fred Kendall. Buckner then hit his double in the eighth and scored the winning run with one out when Crawford smashed his double past Willie McCovey down the right field line.

Cardinals 7, Cubs 2 at St. Louis (day game):
Willie Davis and Ted Simmons batted in two runs apiece in support of Lynn McGlothen, who yielded only five singles and pitched the Cardinals to a 7-2 victory over the Cubs. Simmons homered in the second inning and accounted for his other RBI with a double in the third. Davis hit a double and triple, scoring twice, before driving in two runs with a single in the sixth.
