Today's scores and summaries:

Yankees 3, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Catfish Hunter yielded a homer by leadoff batter Ken Singleton but then held the Orioles scoreless the rest of the way while pitching the Yankees to a 3-1 victory. The Yankees tied the score against Mike Torrez in the second when Thurman Munson was hit by a pitch and Graig Nettles and Terry Whitfield singled. Tie-breaking tallies followed in the fourth on singles by Munson, Chris Chambliss and Nettles and a sacrifice fly by Whitfield.

Indians 8, Red Sox 6 at Boston (night game):
Hitting his second homer of the game, George Hendrick connected with two men on base and two out in the ninth inning to climax a four-run rally that brought the Indians an 8-6 victory over the Red Sox. Hendrick hit his first homer in the opening frame and Charlie Spikes rapped another round-tripper in the second, but the Red Sox eventually took a 6-4 lead when Carl Yastrzemski hit for the circuit with a mate aboard in the eighth. Opening the ninth, Frank Duffy singled, leading to the exit of Bill Lee. Roger Moret walked Alan Ashby and, after Duane Kuiper bunted into a forceout of Ashby, Boog Powell greeted the appearance of Dick Drago with a double, driving in Duffy. Kuiper also tried to score but was out at the plate. Rick Manning then walked and Hendrick hit his game-winning homer.

Royals 5, Angels 3 at California (night game):
Making up for his error, Jim Wohlford singled in the 11th inning to spark the Royals to a 5-3 victory over the Angels. After his hit, Wohlford scored the tie-breaking run on singles by George Brett and Hal McRae. John Mayberry followed with a sacrifice fly for an insurance tally. Andy Etchebarren homered for the Angels in the second, but the Royals took a 3-1 lead in the fourth on singles by Amos Otis and Bob Stinson, a double by Fred Patek and single by Wohlford. The Angels tied the score in the seventh. Rudy Meoli walked and Billy Smith singled. With two out, Mickey Rivers singled, driving in Meoli, and when Wohlford overthrew third base, Smith counted the tying run on the outfielder's error.

White Sox 7, Rangers 5 at Chicago (night game):
Backed by Jorge Orta, who drove in four runs with a homer, single and sacrifice fly, Claude Osteen gained his first victory since April 25 when the White Sox defeated the Rangers, 7-5. Orta hit his homer after a single by Pat Kelly in the first inning. Kelly doubled in the third and scored when Orta hit his single. Orta then stole second, continued to third on a wild throw by catcher Jim Sundberg and crossed the plate on a single by Bill Melton. Doubles by Carlos May and Deron Johnson and a single by Melton in the fifth produced two more runs off Gaylord Perry, who was handed his second straight defeat since being acquired by the Rangers. Orta hit his sacrifice fly in the sixth. Osteen needed help from Rich Gossage in the ninth to cut off a three-run rally by the Rangers.

[DH] Brewers 5, Tigers 0 (night game) / Brewers 4, Tigers 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Three-hit pitching by Jim Slaton, who posted his second straight shutout, and the batting of George Scott enabled the Brewers to sweep a twi-night doubleheader with the Tigers, 5-0 and 4-2. Bill Sharp slapped a pair of run-scoring singles in support of Slaton. Don Money, playing his first game since a hernia operation May 28, hit a double and single, walked and scored two runs. In the second game, Scott homered in the sixth inning and then drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the seventh.

A's 6, Twins 4 at Oakland (night game):
The Athletics took advantage of Joe Decker's wildness and scored four runs in the first inning en route to a 6-4 victory over the Twins. Bert Campaneris led off with a single and Decker then walked four of the next five batters, forcing in two runs before being lifted, marking the third straight time that the Twins' righthander had been kayoed in the first inning. After Vic Albury relieved, a single by Sal Bando and sacrifice fly by Billy Williams added two runs. The Twins chased Stan Bahnsen in the fifth, scoring three times on three walks and singles by Glenn Borgmann and Johnny Briggs, but Jim Todd pitched two-hit relief the rest of the way, allowing one unearned run. The A's, meanwhile, added a tally on a double by Bill North in the sixth and clinched their victory with a homer by Gene Tenace in the seventh.

Reds 3, Braves 0 at Atlanta (night game):
Joe Morgan hit a homer with two men on base and three pitchers combined on a shutout as the Reds defeated the Braves, 3-0. Morgan's smash in the third inning came with two out after Phil Niekro had walked Bill Plummer and Pete Rose.

Dodgers 8, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
After Davey Lopes and Bill Buckner walked in the first inning, Steve Garvey and Ron Cey hit consecutive homers to start the Dodgers off to an 8-3 victory over the Astros. Doug Rau limited the Astros to six hits while collecting three himself, including a two-run single in the third. Doug Rader rapped a pair of solo homers for the Astros.

Cubs 13, Expos 6 at Montreal (day game):
The Cubs went on their best scoring spree so far this season and rolled over the Expos, 13-6. Six of their runs crossed the plate in the third inning after Bill Bonham singled and Rob Sperring and Jose Cardenal walked to load the bases. A sacrifice fly by Bill Madlock and single by Jerry Morales produced first two runs of outburst. Rick Monday singled to reload bases, Andre Thornton doubled, driving in two runs, and two more followed on singles by Manny Trillo and Tim Hosley. Bonham knocked in two runs with a triple in the fifth and Hosley plated a pair with a single in the sixth.

Mets 5, Cardinals 1 at New York (night game):
Posting the 100th victory of his major league career, Jerry Koosman ended the Mets' seven-game losing streak by defeating the Cardinals, 5-1. The Mets, who had been shut out for 35 consecutive innings, ended their drouth in the first on a single by Gene Clines, a stolen base and an error by Lou Brock on a line drive by Jesus Alou. Joe Torre singled and Dave Kingman homered in the fourth. After the Mets added a pair in the seventh, the Cards picked up their lone run in the eighth on a double by Mike Tyson and two infield outs.

[DH] Phillies 6, Pirates 3 (night game) / Phillies 8, Pirates 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Calling upon a pair of 21-year-old pitchers, Larry Christenson and Tom Underwood, the Phillies defeated the Pirates in both ends of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-3 and 8-1. The Pirates, who had a homer by Dave Parker, held a 2-1 lead against Christenson in the opener before the Phillies rallied for three runs off Jerry Reuss in the sixth. Mike Schmidt doubled and when Rennie Stennett made a late throw to third on a grounder by Greg Luzinski, both runners were safe. Ollie Brown doubled, driving in Schmidt. Taking third on the throw home, Brown scored on a squeeze bunt by Bob Boone. Rain caused a 59-minute delay after the seventh inning and Tug McGraw came in to finish the game for Christenson. The Phils iced their victory with two runs in the eighth on a single by Dick Allen, a sacrifice and singles by Jerry Martin and Mike Anderson. Underwood pitched the route in the nightcap and breezed to victory after the Phillies scored four runs in the first. Bruce Kison walked Dave Cash, Larry Bowa and Jay Johnstone, gave up a two-run single by Luzinski and passed Tommy Hutton before being replaced by Sam McDowell. An error by Richie Hebner and single by Underwood added two runs before the frame ended. Bob Robertson hit a homer for the Pirates' only tally.

[DH] Padres 2, Giants 1 (night game) / Padres 3, Giants 0 at San Diego (night game):
The Padres got great pitching performances from Randy Jones and Brent Strom to defeat the Giants in both games of a twi-night doubleheader, 2-1 and 3-0, with the opener going 10 innings. Jones gave up 11 hits, but the Giants scored only on a homer by Bobby Murcer in the sixth inning. The Padres, who counted their first run on a double by Fred Kendall in the second, broke a tie in the 10th after Enzo Hernandez singled and moved up on a sacrifice by Jones. Bobby Tolan bunted safely, sending Hernandez to third. Tito Fuentes then hit a grounder to Derrel Thomas, who fumbled the ball and missed a chance for a play at the plate as Hernandez scored. In the nightcap, Strom allowed only two hits. The Padres had five extra-base blows among their eight hits, including a homer by Willie McCovey.
