Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Tigers 4 at Baltimore (night game):
Al Bumbry, Lee May and Don Baylor each drove in two runs to lead the Orioles to a 7-4 victory over the Tigers. Bumbry's two-run triple highlighted a three-run first inning. May raised his RBI total to 46 with a run-scoring single and sacrifice fly, and Baylor singled home two runs in the eighth canto. Oriole manager Earl Weaver was ejected from the game in the fourth frame for protesting too strenuously on ball and strike calls.

Yankees 8, Red Sox 6 at Boston (day game):
Walt Williams doubled home the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning and scored an insurance tally on a sacrifice fly to lead the Yankees to an 8-6 triumph over the Red Sox and regain first place in the A. L. East. The nationally televised game was tied 6-6 when Sandy Alomar opened the Yanks' eighth with a single. Bobby Bonds forced Alomar but Williams followed with a screeching double that went past third baseman Rico Petrocelli and eluded Carl Yastrzemski in the left-field corner. Bonds scored and Williams took third on the throw to the plate. Thurman Munson's fly to deep right then delivered Williams. The Yanks took a 6-2 lead with a five-run fifth. Munson's single with the bases loaded drove in two and two more scored on Dwight Evans' errant throw from right field. The Sox tied the contest with four in the sixth, the big blow being a three-run homer by Yastrzemski, his second circuit blast of the game.

A's 10, Angels 4 at California (night game):
Reggie Jackson was the big cannon as the A's trundled up their heavy artillery to roll to their seventh straight victory, a 10-4 rout of the Angels. Jackson slammed his 17th and 18th homers of the season, doubled, drove in three runs and scored three. After the Angels took a 2-0 lead in the first frame, Jackson tied the score with a two-run blast in the third. The big slugger capped a four-run fourth with a 453-foot shot to right. Righthander Dick Bosman went the first five innings to pick up his fifth win in six decisions since joining the A's. Paul Lindblad finished up for his fourth save.

White Sox 5, Royals 3 at Chicago (night game):
Ken Henderson drove in two runs with sacrifice flies to back up Claude Osteen's six-hit pitching as the White Sox scored their seventh consecutive victory by defeating the Royals, 5-3. The Sox scoring began in the opening inning on a walk to Jorge Orta, Bucky Dent's single, Deron Johnson's double and Henderson's first sacrifice fly. After K.C. tied the count in the second, Pat Kelly's triple and Orta's double gave the Sox a 3-2 lead in the third. Singles by Bill Melton, Carlos May and Bob Coluccio produced another score in the fourth and Henderson's second sacrifice fly drove in the final Sox marker in the fifth.

Brewers 10, Indians 6 at Milwaukee (night game):
Bobby Mitchell drove in four runs and Charlie Moore broke a 6-6 tie with an eighth-inning double to lead the Brewers to a 10-6 victory over the Indians and snap the Tribe's six-game winning streak. Mitchell unloaded a three-run homer to climax a five-run first and doubled home a run in the game-winning four-run outburst in the eighth. The score was tied 6-6 with one out when Sixto Lezcano singled and scored on Moore's double down the left field line. Mitchell doubled to score Moore. Robin Yount's two-run single completed the scoring. Rick Austin, who joined the Brewers from Sacramento earlier in the week, gained his first major league victory since winning two games for Cleveland in 1970.

Twins 5, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
Rod Carew doubled home the tying run in the seventh inning and then scored himself on Dan Ford's single to rally the Twins past the Rangers, 5-3. The Rangers had a 3-2 lead through six frames when Lyman Bostock tripled off starter Gaylord Perry to open the seventh. Carew doubled to tie the game. Perry then walked Steve Brye and Steve Braun beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Ford singled to left to score Carew and chase Perry. Stan Thomas relieved and induced Jerry Terrell to bounce into a double play while Brye scored. Perry was tagged with his sixth straight loss, the last three since being traded to the Rangers a month ago.

Reds 6, Padres 4 at Cincinnati (night game):
George Foster's two-out two-run pinch-hit homer off Bill Greif in the 10th inning gave the Reds a 6-4 victory over the Padres. In winning, the Reds played errorless ball for the 12th consecutive game, setting a league record. Joe Morgan walked with one out in the 10th, stole second and, one out later, scored ahead of Foster's 11th circuit blast of the campaign. The game had been a see-saw contest early with the Reds scoring the tying counter in the eighth when Morgan beat out a bunt, stole second and scored on Dan Driessen's single.

Braves 6, Astros 3 at Houston (day game):
Marty Perez singled home two eighth-inning runs and Biff Pocoroba added his first major league homer in the ninth to spark the Braves to a 6-3 victory over the Astros. Perez' hit broke a 3-3 tie and followed a wild streak by Astro starter Dave Roberts. Roberts walked Pocoroba to start the inning. Rowland Office sacrificed Pocoroba to second before Roberts issued his eighth walk of the game to Larvell Blanks. Wayne Granger replaced Roberts and got the second out before intentionally walking Ralph Garr to load the bases. Perez then followed with a single to center. The Braves had rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the seventh on a pinch-hit homer by Rod Gilbreath, an error, double by Perez and single by Dusty Baker.

Cardinals 3, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
Stout relief pitching by Mike Garman preserved the Cardinals' 3-2 victory over the Expos. The burly righthander entered the game in the last of the 10th with runners on first and second and none out and retired the side on a force play at third and a double-play grounder. The Cardinals had scored the go-ahead run in the top of the frame on Ron Fairly's pinch-hit. The winning rally began with two out as Ted Simmons singled, Ken Reitz doubled and Ted Sizemore was walked intentionally to load the sacks. Fairly, batting for winning pitcher Al Hrabosky, then delivered a single back of first base to plate Simmons with the game winner.

Mets 5, Phillies 2 at New York (day game):
Rusty Staub and Dave Kingman each drove in a pair of runs and rookie Randy Tate hurled a four-hitter to give the Mets a 5-2 victory over the Phillies. Staub singled home a tally in the first frame and delivered another with a sacrifice fly in the third. Kingman's bases-loaded single snapped a 2-2 tie in the fifth. The game was delayed an hour and 27 minutes by rain in the last of the second inning.

Cubs 1, Pirates 0 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Bill Bonham made the Pirates walk the plank, tossing a six-hitter as the Cubs downed the Bucs, 1-0, on the strength of George Mitterwald's home run. Mitterwald, a reserve catcher inserted at first base for injured Andre Thornton, lined a 1-1 pitch 380 feet over the left-center field fence in the second stanza and Bonham made it stand up as the winning run. A diving stop by third baseman Bill Madlock on Manny Sanguillen's smash with the tying run on third and two out in the ninth preserved the victory.

Giants 2, Dodgers 1 at San Francisco (day game):
Bobby Murcer's pinch-hit single off reliever Mike Marshall drove in the decisive run as the Giants edged the Dodgers, 2-1. The winning rally came in the seventh inning as Chris Speier doubled with one out and, after Steve Ontiveros flied out, pinch-hitter Chris Arnold drew a walk. Marc Hill singled to center to score Speier and Marshall replaced starter Doug Rau. Murcer then batted for pinch-hitter Jake Brown, who had been announced, and hit a 3-2 pitch to right field for a single. The winning hurler was John Montefusco, who allowed only four hits and no earned runs before leaving for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Rau was the losing pitcher and it was the first time the Giants defeated a lefthanded thrower in 10 straight tries.
