Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 3, Tigers 2 at Baltimore (night game):
Mark Belanger's bunt single capped a two-run rally in the seventh inning that snapped the Orioles' five-game losing streak and produced a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. Detroit starter Tom Walker yielded one hit, a third-inning homer by Brooks Robinson, in six innings. Reliever John Hiller was the victim of the seventh-inning rally. Lee May walked, moved to third on Don Baylor's single and scored when second baseman Gary Sutherland threw late to the plate on pinch-hitter Dave Duncan's grounder. Paul Blair's sacrifice bunt advanced the runners and Robinson was walked to load the bases. Belanger's perfect bunt up the first base line scored Baylor. The Tiger runs came on singleton homers by Bill Freehan in the second and Gene Michael in the sixth.

Red Sox 9, Yankees 1 at Boston (night game):
Doug Griffin drove in four runs and Rick Wise scattered eight hits to lead the Red Sox to a 9-1 triumph over the Yankees and move into first place in the A. L. East. The Sox, playing before a season-high crowd of 35,489, won the game with three second-inning runs. Fred Lynn walked, Rico Petrocelli singled and Carlton Fisk also singled for the first run. Griffin followed with a double, scoring Petrocelli and Fisk. The Sox added two more in the fourth, with Griffin driving in one, and three more in the fifth, two scoring on a double by Petrocelli. The final Sox tally came on an eighth-inning homer by Cecil Cooper. Wise had a shutout until two out in the ninth when Bobby Bonds rapped his 17th homer of the season.

A's 12, Angels 4 at California (night game):
Joe Rudi doubled home a run to climax a four-run seventh inning and delivered two run-scoring singles in a seven-run ninth inning to pace the A's to a 12-4 victory over the Angels. It was the A's sixth straight win and 11th in their last 12. The A's were trailing 3-1 going into the seventh but Bert Campaneris' single and Billy Williams' double tied the score and Claudell Washington's single drove home the lead run. Rudi's double scored Washington to make it 5-3. After the Angels scored a run in the seventh on a throwing error by catcher Gene Tenace, the A's sent 12 men to the plate in the ninth and scored seven times. Rudi triggered the rally with a run-scoring single and capped it with another run-scoring hit. Phil Garner had a run-scoring single and Washington drove in two runs during the onslaught.

White Sox 4, Royals 3 at Chicago (night game):
The White Sox scored their sixth straight victory, a 4-3 come-from-behind triumph over the Royals with two runs, the last one unearned, in the bottom of the ninth. The winning rally began when Ken Henderson singled. One out later, pinch-runner Lee Richard moved to third on Bob Coluccio's bouncing single to right. Bucky Dent's sacrifice fly scored Richard with the tying run. Coluccio then stole second and Brian Downing was given an intentional walk. Steve Mingori replaced Doug Bird on the mound for the Royals and Bill Stein batted for Pat Kelly. He hit a weak grounder that was fielded by first baseman Tony Solaita about 15 feet from the bag. Mingori raced over to take the throw but it went past his outstretched glove, permitting Coluccio to score the game-winning marker. The Sox had fallen behind early as Hal McRae gave the Royals a 3-0 lead with a fifth-inning run-scoring double and seventh-inning two-run triple. But the Sox got two in the eighth when Carlos May hit a two-run triple.

Indians 6, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
Jim Bibby tossed a five-hitter and posted his first win since May 13 and first since being obtained June 13 from the Texas Rangers as the Indians won their sixth consecutive game, 6-1, over the Brewers. Buddy Bell's solo homer in the fourth broke a 1-1 tie and the Tribe was ahead to stay. A pair of errors by third baseman Don Money helped the Indians to three runs in the fifth. The second misplay came with the bases loaded and allowed two runs to score. The Brewers' lone run came in the third on a walk to Money and singles by Robin Yount and George Scott. Outside of that, only two runners reached second off Bibby.

[DH] Rangers 2, Twins 0 (night game) / Twins 8, Rangers 5 at Texas (night game):
Dan Ford's two-run single broke open a tie game in the ninth inning, boosting the Twins to an 8-5 victory over the Rangers and a split of a doubleheader. The Rangers captured the opener, 2-0, on home runs by Cesar Tovar and Tom Grieve as Steve Hargan scattered six hits. The winning rally in the second game came after two were out. Rod Carew walked and was singled to third by Steve Brye. After Brye stole second, Eric Soderholm was given an intentional pass. Ford then singled to center for two runs and Jerry Terrell's single plated Soderholm with the third run of the inning.

Reds 5, Padres 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Dan Driessen's two-out, three-run homer in the 11th inning gave the Reds a 5-2 victory over the Padres. A single by Joe Morgan and intentional pass to Johnny Bench after Morgan stole second preceded Driessen's game-winning blast. The Padres took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on Gene Locklear's homer but Morgan's 11th homer, leading off the eighth, tied the game. The Reds played errorless ball for the 11th straight game, tying a National League record.

Braves 7, Astros 4 at Houston (night game):
Two throwing errors and Dusty Baker's two-run single highlighted a five-run fifth inning as the Braves prevailed over the Astros, 7-4. The Astros had a 2-1 lead in the fifth when Larvell Blanks led off with a single. Losing pitcher Larry Dierker threw Jamie Easterly's sacrifice bunt attempt into center field, setting up runners at first and third. Ralph Garr hit into a force play, scoring Blanks. Marty Perez singled to left and when Garr made a wide turn at second, left fielder Greg Gross tried to throw him out. The throw was wide and both runners moved up. They were then singled home by Baker. Singles by Darrell Evans, Mike Lum and Vic Correll produced two more tallies. Easterly pitched the first seven innings for the Braves to record his first major league victory.

[DH] Cardinals 6, Expos 4 (night game) / Expos 5, Cardinals 4 at Montreal (night game):
Errors by shortstop Mario Guerrero and first baseman Reggie Smith enabled the Expos to post a 5-4 victory over the Cardinals in the second game of a twi-nighter after the Redbirds won the opener, 6-4, for Bob Gibson's 250th career triumph. With the score tied 4-4 in the seventh inning of the nightcap, winning pitcher Dan Warthen reached first on Guerrero's error. Pepe Mangual forced Warthen and then stole second base. He moved to third on Tim Foli's groundout and scored when Smith was unable to handle Mike Jorgensen's grounder. Gibson went six innings in the opener and the 39-year-old righthander, baseball's winningest active pitcher, was supported by Lou Brock and Ted Sizemore who each drove in two runs. Brock singled home a third-inning run and also doubled in the final Card tally in the ninth. Sizemore hit a two-run double in the fifth to give the visitors a 4-0 lead.

Mets 4, Phillies 2 at New York (night game):
Dave Kingman's two-run homer was the decisive blow and Jon Matlack hurled a five-hitter as the Mets downed the Phillies, 4-2. The home team struck in their first turn at bat when Wayne Garrett led off with a single and stole second with one out. He scored all the way from second on a wild fourth-ball pitch to Del Unser which catcher Bob Boone had trouble locating. Rusty Staub singled home Unser to make it 2-0 and, after Ed Kranepool forced Staub, Kingman slammed his 11th circuit blow of the season. Gre Luzinski homered for the first Phillie run in the fifth and an infield hit by Larry Bowa and bloop double by Ollie Brown resulted in a sixth-inning run. Staub's throw got away from shortstop Mike Phillips and Brown scored. Matlack got out of the inning by getting Luzinski to pop out and Dick Allen to ground out.

[DH] Pirates 5, Cubs 1 (night game) / Pirates 5, Cubs 3 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Richie Zisk doubled home the tie-breaking run in the nightcap as the Pirates came from behind to defeat the Cubs, 5-3, and complete a doubleheader sweep. Dock Ellis pitched a nine-hitter and Richie Hebner drilled a three-run homer as the Pirates captured the lidlifter, 5-1. With the Pirates trailing 3-2 and one out in the seventh inning of the second game, Ed Kirkpatrick walked and moved to third on Al Oliver's bloop double. Willie Stargell drew an intentional pass and Hebner plated the tying run with a sacrifice fly. Zisk then doubled off third baseman Bill Madlock's glove for the lead run. The Cubs had scored all their runs in the second stanza on a double by Rick Monday, Manny Trillo's two-run homer, Steve Swisher's triple and Don Kessinger's double. In the opener, Manny Sanguillen triggered a four-run fourth frame with a triple and scored on a groundout. Zisk walked and Bill Robinson singled before Hebner rapped his 10th homer of the campaign.

Giants 10, Dodgers 5 at San Francisco (night game):
Bobby Murcer collected three hits, scored four runs and drove in two others to pace the Giants to a 10-5 victory over the Dodgers. After the Giants got two runs in the first frame, the Dodgers scored four in the second to take the lead. But the Giants went ahead to stay with a four-run third canto. Consecutive singles by Derrel Thomas, Von Joshua, Murcer, Willie Montanez and Chris Speier got three markers home and Gary Thomasson drove in another with a sacrifice fly. Reliever Charlie Williams held the visitors to one run -- Lee Lacy's seventh-inning homer -- and five hits in 4 2/3 innings.
