Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Red Sox 5, Orioles 2 (night game) / Orioles 8, Red Sox 2 at Boston (night game):
The Orioles' Dave Duncan rapped a major league record-tying four consecutive doubles and scored three runs as the Birds won the second game, 8-2, salvaging a split of a twi-nighter with the Red Sox. Baltimore chipped away at loser Luis Tiant, finally knocking him out in a four-run eighth after he had allowed 16 hits. The Red Sox beat 12-game winner Jim Palmer in the opener, 5-2, getting two RBIs each from Carl Yastrzemski and Cecil Cooper. Boston's Dick Pole took a four-hit shutout into the ninth, but gave up three consecutive singles, then was hit by Tony Muser's liner, which went for a two-run double, and suffered a fractured jaw. Yastrzemski and Cooper each had an RBI double during the Red Sox' three-run third inning.

White Sox 6, A's 1 at Chicago (night game):
The White Sox had their longest winning streak since April of 1973 after beating the Athletics, 6-1. Jerry Hairston, just recalled from the Sox' Denver farm club, singled with the bases loaded in the second to drive in the game's first run. Chicago plated two more in that frame, more than enough for winner Wilbur Wood, who stretched the White Sox victory streak to nine games with a seven-hit performance. Hairston scored two more runs after doubling in the fourth and walking in the sixth. Deron Johnson accounted for the other Chicago run with a bases-empty homer in the fifth.

[DH] Indians 4, Tigers 1 (night game) / Indians 3, Tigers 2 at Cleveland (night game):
The Indians used three unearned runs and the seven-hit hurling of Roric Harrison to take the opener of a twi-night doubleheader from the Tigers, 4-1, then got a decisive two-run single from rookie Rick Manning in the eighth inning of the second game and pulled off the sweep with a 3-2 triumph. Detroit made six errors in the first game, with outfield miscues leading to a tainted Indian run in the second and infield boots helping the winners score twice in the third. George Hendrick singled home the only earned run for Cleveland in the fifth. The Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning of the second game on John Wockenfuss' triple and a sacrifice fly by Leon Roberts. In the Cleveland eighth, John Ellis and Buddy Bell singled. Charlie Spikes hit into a forceout, but stole second and Manning followed with a single, his third hit of the game, to make a winner of rookie pitcher Eric Raich.

Brewers 5, Yankees 4 at Milwaukee (night game):
Bobby Darwin's eighth homer of the season, struck in a pinch-hit role with Sixto Lezcano aboard with an infield hit and one out in the bottom of the ninth, gave the Brewers a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Yankees. New York had taken a 4-3 lead in the top of the inning on Chris Chambliss' two-run round-tripper. Milwaukee scored three times in the fourth, Bobby Mitchell hitting a two-run homer. Walt Williams homered for the Yankees in the first and the losers picked up their second run in the fifth on a triple by Ed Brinkman and single by Sandy Alomar.

Angels 10, Twins 3 at Minnesota (night game):
Frank Tanana, with his strikeout pitch working again, bailed the Angels out of their seven-game losing streak. Treated to a six-run cushion in the first, Tanana whiffed 15 Twins and went the distance in a 10-3 triumph. California scored half a dozen runs before loser Ray Corbin retired a batter in the opening inning. The Angels got five consecutive singles, then a three-run homer off the bat of John Doherty, his first round-tripper of the season. Rod Carew and Glenn Borgmann reached Tanana for solo homers in the first and third. The Twins got their final run on back-to-back doubles by Jerry Terrell and Carew in the seventh. California put the game away with four tallies in the top of the ninth, two coming across on Leroy Stanton's double.

Reds 9, Astros 6 at Cincinnati (night game):
Johnny Bench's two-out, three-run homer in the bottom of the 12th off Joe Niekro's 3-and-0 pitch propelled the Reds past the Astros, 9-6. The homer, following a double by Ken Griffey and intentional pass to Joe Morgan, raised Bench's RBI total for the season to 65. The Reds scored three times in the eighth and once in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings, wiping out a 6-2 Houston lead that was manufactured with the help of a two-run homer by Bob Watson. Reliever Clay Kirby got the victory with three hitless innings of work.

Dodgers 4, Padres 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Andy Messersmith became the first 12-game winner in the N. L., snapping a five-game Dodger losing streak in the process, as he pitched Los Angeles past the Padres, 4-1. The Dodgers reached loser Rich Folkers for a pair of first-inning runs, driven home by Ron Cey, who also hit a bases-empty homer in the sixth. Messersmith lost the shutout in the seventh when San Diego managed its only run on singles by Gene Locklear, Dave Winfield and Randy Hundley.

Pirates 5, Expos 3 at Montreal (night game):
The Pirates scored three in the top of the ninth and held on to defeat the Expos, 5-3, under acting manager Bob Skinner, subbing for Danny Murtaugh, who was sidelined by a bad cold. A bases-loaded single by Rennie Stennett produced one run in the ninth and Montreal reliever Dan Warthen forced home another with a walk, while the third scored on Al Oliver's sacrifice fly. Pittsburgh had taken a 2-1 lead in the fifth on Richie Zisk's solo homer. Trailing 5-1 and scoreless since the first, the Expos rallied with two in the bottom of the ninth off reliever Dave Giusti, who had taken over for winner Larry Demery in the eighth.

Mets 5, Cubs 1 at New York (night game):
Rusty Staub's single in the eighth snapped a 1-1 tie and the Mets went on to score three more times to beat the Cubs, 5-1. Staub delivered following two walks and a sacrifice. Ed Kranepool then singled home the second run of the frame. With two out, a passed ball and intentional walk loaded the bases. Jerry Grote beat out an infield hit for an RBI and winning pitcher George Stone capped the rally with a run-scoring single. The Cubs' lone run came inthe third on an error, stolen base and single by Jose Cardenal. The Mets tied the score in the sixth on Kranepool's single and a two-out double by Dave Kingman.

Cardinals 4, Phillies 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Bob Forsch, although touched for home runs by Mike Schmidt in the seventh and Dave Cash in the eighth, picked up his eighth victory with a late assist from reliever Al Hrabosky as the Cardinals decisioned the Phillies, 4-2. Mike Tyson doubled home St. Louis' first run in the second, and the Cardinals got the decisive runs in the fifth on Ted Sizemore's hit, a wild pitch, single by Ted Simmons, a walk and single by Ken Reitz. The Redbirds added their final tally in the eighth on a single, stolen base by McBride and Tyson's single.
