Today's scores and summaries:

Tigers 6, Orioles 5 at Baltimore (night game):
Halting a six-game losing streak, the Tigers scored in the eighth inning on Gene Michael's third hit of the game to win a 6-5 victory over the Orioles, who suffered their sixth straight setback. Mickey Lolich, who pitched the route for the Tigers, allowed only five hits, but they included a homer by Dave Duncan with two men on base and another by Paul Blair with the sacks empty. With the score tied, 5-5, Mickey Stanley doubled in the eighth, took third on an infield out by Aurelio Rodriguez and scored the winning run on a single by Michael. Ron LeFlore also had three hits, including a triple, for the Tigers.

Red Sox 6, Yankees 1 at Boston (night game):
Carlton Fisk, catching in only his fourth game since fracturing his arm in spring training, hit his first homer since June 17, 1974, and Fred Lynn drove in three runs with a triple and single as the Red Sox defeated the Yankees, 6-1. Lynn accounted for two RBIs with his triple in the fourth inning and scored himself on a single by Cecil Cooper. Fisk homered in the seventh and two more runs followed in the same stanza on singles by Denny Doyle, Rick Miller, Rick Burleson and Lynn.

Royals 7, Angels 1 at California (night game):
George Brett had a perfect night at bat with a double and three singles and Fred Patek smashed a two-run homer as the Royals defeated the Angels, 7-1. The Royals stole four bases, giving them a total of 29 thefts in 33 attempts in 10 games against the Angels this season. In the first inning, Jim Wohlford was safe on an error, stole second and scored on a single by Brett. Following Wohlford's lead, Brett also stole second and counted on a single by Hal McRae. Patek hit his homer, the first of the season for the diminutive shortstop, in the eighth.

White Sox 8, Rangers 3 at Chicago (day game):
A grand slam by Bill Melton climaxed a five-run outburst by the White Sox in the eighth inning and clinched an 8-3 victory over the Rangers. The White Sox, in winning their fifth straight game, started the big inning with a single by Jorge Orta, who stole second and scored on a single by Carlos May. After a single by Deron Johnson and an error loaded the bases, Melton hit his homer off Fergie Jenkins.

Indians 9, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (day game):
Pitching eight shutout innings, Dennis Eckersley gained his fifth victory against one defeat when the Indians rolled over the Brewers, 9-2. Jackie Brown replaced the 20-year-old rookie righthander in the ninth and gave up the Brewers' runs on a walk to Bobby Darwin and homer by Darrell Porter. John Lowenstein, Boog Powell and Buddy Bell each batted in two runs as the Indians extended their winning streak to five games.

Astros 8, Braves 4 at Houston (night game):
Although Cesar Cedeno and Bob Watson each went hitless in five trips, other members of the Astros picked up the slack with a 13-hit attack to defeat the Braves, 8-4. Roger Metzger and Doug Rader collected three hits apiece. The Astros scored in each of the first four innings and coasted home behind the pitching of J.R. Richard.

Cardinals 4, Expos 3 at Montreal (night game):
Rarely a home-run hitter, Ted Sizemore came through with a circuit clout in the eighth inning when the Cardinals scored all their runs to defeat the Expos, 4-3. Doug Howard led off the stanza with a pinch-single. After Mike Tyson came in to run, Lou Brock popped up, but Sizemore then hit his first homer since July 28, 1974, and only the 14th of his major league career. The Cards proceeded to load the bases on a walk, error and single by Luis Melendez before Ken Reitz came up and singled to drive in their two other runs.

Pirates 5, Cubs 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Striking out 13, John Candelaria allowed only five hits and pitched the Pirates to a 5-2 victory over the Cubs. The Pirates scored twice in the first inning on a homer by Richie Hebner, walk to Al Oliver, an infield out and error. The Cubs came back to tie the score with a homer by Andre Thornton in the seventh and another by Tim Hosley in the eighth. The Pirates then broke the tie in the ninth when Duffy Dyer singled, Bob Robertson walked and Rennie Stennett homered to score behind pinch-runners Mario Mendoza and Dock Ellis.

Giants 2, Dodgers 0 at San Francisco (night game):
The Giants scored two runs off Andy Messersmith in the first inning and Ed Halicki, who pitched a five-hitter, made them stand up for a 2-0 victory over the Dodgers. In the first, Von Joshua singled, went to second on a passed ball and scored on a single by Bobby Murcer, who also crossed the plate on a double by Willie Montanez.
