Today's scores and summaries:

Yankees 2, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Triples by Thurman Munson and Walt Williams led to the Yankees defeating the Orioles, 2-1, for their fifth straight victory and 20th in the last 25 games. The Orioles scored their run in the first inning when Paul Blair walked and raced home on a single by Tommy Davis, who hit a line drive that Roy White lost in the stadium lights. Jim Palmer protected the Orioles' slim lead until the seventh when Munson hit his triple and Chris Chambliss singled. Williams then led off the ninth with his three-bagger and scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Munson.

Indians 8, Red Sox 5 at Boston (day game):
Roric Harrison, who pitched 8 2/3 innings, gained credit for his first victory in a Cleveland uniform when the Indians defeated the Red Sox, 8-5. Alan Ashby hit a two-run homer for the Indians and Duane Kuiper drove in two runs with a single. Frank Duffy joined in the attack with three hits, scoring two runs and batting in one. The Red Sox loaded the bases in the ninth to chase Harrison. Tom Buskey, in relief, gave up a two-run single by Denny Doyle before retiring Bernie Carbo on a grounder to save the game.

Royals 6, Angels 2 at California (night game):
Frank White, a defensive replacement in the Royals' lineup in the 10th inning, came to bat in the 12th and smashed a grand-slam homer to beat the Angels, 6-2. Steve Busby, hurling the route for the Royals, fell behind, 2-0, before his teammates caught up for him in the seventh when Fran Healy singled and Al Cowens homered. Busby pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the 11th, striking out Rudi Meoli and Billy Smith. The Royals then filled the sacks in the 12th on a single by Healy and passes to Cowens and Bob Stinson before White whacked his homer off Luis Quintana.

White Sox 5, Rangers 2 at Chicago (night game):
Jorge Orta extended his batting streak to 10 games with a double and triple, knocking in two runs and scoring two, to pace the White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Rangers. Orta, after drawing a walk and crossing the plate in the first inning, hit his double in the fifth to break a 1-1 tie, driving in Brian Downing, who had singled and reached third on an error. The White Sox added their winning margin in the seventh. Bucky Dent singled, advanced on a sacrifice and scored on a double by Pat Kelly. Orta tripled to drive in Kelly and then counted himself on a single by Deron Johnson.

Brewers 7, Tigers 6 at Milwaukee (night game):
George Scott hit a pair of solo homers, accounting for the Brewers' sixth and seventh runs in a 7-6 victory over the Tigers. Bill Freehan rapped a two-run homer for the Tigers in the second inning, but the Brewers came back with three runs in the third. Singles by Sixto Lezcano, Bill Sharp and Pedro Garcia produced the first tally. After Don Money bounced out, Aurelio Rodriguez threw low to the plate on a grounder by Robin Yount, allowing Sharp to score. Garcia reached third and worked a double steal with Yount for the third run. A single by Sharp and double by Garcia plated two more tallies for the Brewers in the fourth. Scott then led off the fifth with his first homer of the game and followed with his other round-tripper in the seventh for the deciding run.

A's 7, Twins 1 at Oakland (night game):
Ken Holtzman continued his mastery of Minnesota, defeating the Twins for the sixth straight time, as the Athletics breezed to a 7-1 victory. The A's supported their southpaw with a two-run double by Phil Garner, two-run single by Ray Fosse and two-run double by Bert Campaneris. The Twins' lone tally counted in the sixth inning on singles by Steve Brye, Johnny Briggs and Jerry Terrell.

Reds 2, Braves 0 at Atlanta (night game):
Supported by five double plays, Tom Carroll and Will McEnaney combined to pitch the Reds to a 2-0 victory over the Braves. Carroll gave up only three hits and walked four in the first eight innings. The Reds executed double plays in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. After Carroll issued his fourth pass of the game to open the ninth, McEnaney took over and the Reds pulled off their fifth twin-killing. The Reds scored their first run in the sixth on a double by Pete Rose, bunt by Ken Griffey and sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan. Their other tally did not come until the ninth when Dave Concepcion hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.

Astros 5, Dodgers 4 at Houston (night game):
The Astros, who had lost to Don Sutton seven straight times, turned around, defeating the Dodgers' ace righthander, 5-4. Cesar Cedeno started the Astros' scoring with a homer in the first inning. Two more runs followed in the second on a double by Milt May, triple by Enos Cabell and infield out by Rob Andrews, but the Dodgers tied the score in the third when Jim Wynn homered with two men on base. After a single by Ron Cey and double by Henry Cruz put the Dodgers ahead in the sixth, the Astros came back with a tally in their half on a single by May, stolen base by pinch-runner Skip Jutze and single by Cabell. Roger Metzger then opened the seventh with a single and counted the deciding run on a triple by Cedeno.

Expos 12, Cubs 6 at Montreal (night game):
The Expos exploded for 10 runs in the seventh inning for the biggest single outburst in their club's history to overwhelm the Cubs, 12-6. With the Cubs leading, 4-2, the Expos opened the stanza by loading the bases on two errors by Don Kessinger around a single by Pepe Mangual. Mike Jorgensen singled, driving in two runs, and Jose Morales tripled to plate another pair. After a single by Pete Mackanin scored Morales, singles by Gary Carter, Larry Parrish and Pat Scanlon added two runs before Mangual climaxed the spree with a three-run homer.

Mets 2, Cardinals 1 at New York (night game):
A two-run triple by Rusty Staub enabled Tom Seaver to gain his 11th victory of the season, but the Mets needed game-saving relief by Rick Baldwin in the ninth inning before defeating the Cardinals, 2-1. Felix Millan was hit by a pitch in the seventh and Joe Torre singled before Staub rapped his triple off Bob Forsch. Seaver, with the shutout in his grasp, lost his bid and was forced out of the game when Ted Simmons and Ron Fairly hit back-to-back doubles in the ninth. Baldwin gave up an infield single by Bake McBride, but then got out of the jam when Ken Reitz grounded into a double play to end the game.

Phillies 7, Pirates 6 at Philadelphia (night game):
In a remarkable comeback, the Phillies wiped out a 6-0 deficit and then defeated the Pirates, 7-6, when Mike Schmidt drew a pass from Dave Giusti with the bases loaded in the 13th inning. Richie Hebner and Richie Zisk homered to pace the Pirates to their early lead. After picking up a run in the third, the Phillies scored three times in the fifth on singles by Larry Bowa and Greg Luzinski, a triple by Dick Allen and single by Johnny Oates. Luzinski provided the tying tallies in the seventh, hitting a homer after a single by Jay Johnstone. In the 13th, Johnstone doubled and Luzinski was passed intentionally, leading to a sacrifice by Allen. Giusti issued another intentional walk, this time to Oates, and then failed to relocate the plate facing Schmidt, who walked to force in the winning run.

Padres 6, Giants 2 at San Diego (night game):
The Giants' inability to beat southpaws manifested itself again in a 6-2 loss to the Padres. Rich Folkers, who pitched the route for the Padres, became the ninth straight lefthander to tame the Frisco crew. The Padres jumped off to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a double by Bobby Tolan and singles by Dave Winfield, Willie McCovey and Mike Ivie. A walk to Fred Kendall, sacrifice by Folkers and single by Tolan added a marker in the second. Enzo Hernandez plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth and McCovey singled for his second RBI of the game when the Padres wound up their scoring in the seventh. A triple by Derrel Thomas and double by Bruce Miller produced the Giants' tallies.
