Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Red Sox 5, Indians 3 (day game) / Indians 11, Red Sox 10 at Cleveland (day game):
A Bat Day crowd of 58,781 saw the Indians slug their way to an 11-10 victory in the second game of a doubleheader after the Red Sox won the first game, 5-3. Bob Heise, who had an average of only .175 with six previous RBIs to his credit, batted in three runs for the Red Sox in the lidlifter. The Red Sox took a 5-0 lead in the second inning of the nightcap with the aid of a two-run triple by Rick Miller before the Indians turned on the power with a three-run homer by Oscar Gamble, two-run blast by George Hendrick and solo shot by Boog Powell. Dave LaRoche saved the game for the Indians. After the Red Sox pulled within one run in the eighth, LaRoche retired Cecil Cooper on a pop-up and struck out Jim Rice with the bases loaded.

[DH] Tigers 7, Brewers 5 (day game) / Tigers 11, Brewers 2 at Detroit (day game):
The Tigers piled up 16 hits, including three homers in one inning, to beat the Brewers, 11-2, in the second game of a doubleheader after Mickey Lolich won the first game, 7-5, with help from John Hiller in the ninth inning. Lolich gave up 12 hits before Hiller came in to retire the last two batters for his 10th save of the season. Three of the Tigers' runs were unearned. Their 11 hits included a homer by Ron LeFlore. In the nightcap, the Tigers jumped on Pete Broberg for four runs in the first inning. Aurelio Rodriguez led off the second with a homer. After a single by LeFlore, Bill Champion relieved Broberg and gave up successive circuit clouts by Ben Oglivie and Dan Meyer. With that big lead, Lerrin LaGrow racked up his first victory since June 7.

White Sox 9, Royals 3 at Kansas City (day game):
Four batters in the White Sox order, Pat Kelly, Carlos May, Deron Johnson and Bill Stein, each collected three hits in an attack that produced a 9-3 victory over the Royals. Kelly, Bucky Dent and May batted in two runs apiece. John Mayberry hit his 16th homer of the season for the Royals and his seventh over a stretch of six games.

[DH] Rangers 4, Twins 2 (day game) / Rangers 7, Twins 0 at Minnesota (day game):
Clyde Wright and Gaylord Perry each gained his first victory in a Texas uniform as the Rangers defeated the Twins in a doubleheader, 4-2 and 7-0. Wright had been with the Rangers since the start of the season and had lost three times before winning with the help of Jim Umbarger, who pitched hitless ball in the last 1 2/3 innings. The Rangers opened their support of Wright with two runs in the second on a single by Jeff Burroughs and homer by Toby Harrah. After adding an unearned run in the third, the Rangers racked up their final marker of the game on a double by Mike Cubbage and single by Lenny Randle in the seventh. Tony Oliva and Rod Carew hit homers to account for the Twins' tallies. Perry had lost four games since being acquired from the Indians on June 13. The veteran righthander gave up seven hits but struck out nine. Harrah rapped his second homer of the day and Jim Fregosi also hit for the circuit in the Rangers' attack.

Yankees 6, Orioles 1 at New York (day game):
After giving up a leadoff homer to Ken Singleton, Pat Dobson shut out the Orioles the rest of the way and posted a 6-1 victory to end the Yankees' seven-game losing streak. The game was the first of a scheduled doubleheader, but the second contest was stopped by rain with the Orioles batting in the third inning. There was no score. The Yankees put Dobson on easy street with four runs off Mike Cuellar in the third. Fred Stanley and Bobby Bonds walked and both counted on a double by Roy White. Thurman Munson singled to score White. Munson then crossed the plate on a single by Chris Chambliss and a wild pitch.

Angels 2, A's 0 at Oakland (day game):
Following the lead of Ed Figueroa, who posted a 2-0 victory in the previous night's game, the Angels shut out the Athletics for the second straight time by the same 2-0 score. Three pitchers, Dick Lange, Andy Hassler and Don Kirkwood, saw service for the Angels. Lange allowed four hits and six walks before being lifted with two men on base and one out in the sixth inning. Hassler issued a pass to load the bases. Kirkwood then took over and ended the threat by striking out Angel Mangual and getting Bert Campaneris on a grounder. Dave Chalk batted in both of the Angels' runs off Vida Blue. A walk to Leroy Stanton and singles by Tommy Harper and Chalk produced the initial tally in the second. Harper doubled and Chalk singled for the other run in the fourth.

Astros 6, Braves 2 at Atlanta (day game):
J.R. Richard gave up only four hits in 6 2/3 innings and also stood out at bat with a homer and run-scoring single as the Astros snapped their nine-game losing streak with a 6-2 victory over the Braves. Richard walked three batters in the second and gave up a two-run single by Rowland Office, but then started the Astros' comeback with his homer in the fifth. Three singles scored the tying run before the Astros broke away in the seventh. Roger Metzger doubled and scored the tie-breaking tally on Richard's single. Wilbur Howard, after forcing Richard, counted on a double by Greg Gross, who also scored on a single by Enos Cabell.

Pirates 18, Cubs 12 at Chicago (day game):
Led by Willie Stargell and Al Oliver, who collected four hits apiece, the Pirates scored in every inning except the ninth while outslugging the Cubs, 18-12, in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was rained out. The Pirates smacked a total of 20 hits, including homers by Rennie Stennett, Bob Robertson, Stargell and Dave Parker. The Cubs were not far behind, getting 18 hits with homers by Jerry Morales and Rick Monday.

Dodgers 5, Giants 1 at Los Angeles (day game):
Doug Rau pitched no-hit ball for seven innings and then settled for a three-hitter as the Dodgers defeated the Giants, 5-1. Chris Speier doubled to lead off the eighth and wreck Rau's no-hit bid. The Giants' two other hits and their run came in the ninth on singles by Mike Sadek and Derrel Thomas, an infield out by Chris Arnold and sacrifice fly by Bobby Murcer. The Dodgers decided the outcome early with four runs in the first, starting with a homer by Bill Buckner. Singles by Jim Wynn and Steve Garvey and a double by Ron Cey plated another tally. After an intentional pass to Bill Russell, Steve Yeager singled to drive in two runs. Yeager added his third RBI of the game with a single in the eighth inning.

Phillies 8, Mets 6 at Philadelphia (day game):
Greg Luzinski knocked in four runs with a single and double, bringing his season's RBI total to 72, as the Phillies defeated the Mets, 8-6. Dick Allen homered for the Phils' first run in the second inning. Luzinski plated a pair with his single in the third, following singles by Dave Cash and Larry Bowa and a wild pitch. The Mets tied the score in the fifth when Felix Millan and Joe Torre walked and Rusty Staub homered, but the Phillies went back in front in their half when Bowa singled, Ollie Brown was safe on an error and Luzinski doubled. Three more runs in the eighth on scoring singles by Bob Boone and Gene Garber, plus an error, clinched the victory. Mike Phillips hit a two-run homer for the Mets in the ninth.

Reds 13, Padres 2 at San Diego (day game):
Pete Rose and Ken Griffey led the scoring parade as the Reds piled up 16 hits in a 13-2 walloping of the Padres. Rose had three hits and scored three runs. Griffey dented the platter four times. Joe McIntosh, who started for the Padres, was lifted without retiring a batter in the first inning when Rose singled, Griffey walked and Joe Morgan and Dan Driessen singled to produce the Reds' first two runs. Morgan later scored on a double play. In the second, Clay Kirby, Rose and Griffey singled for one run and George Foster doubled to drive in two more. The Reds added a pair in the fourth and capped their attack with five runs in the sixth.

Expos 4, Cardinals 3 at St. Louis (day game):
A three-run rally in the eighth inning, including a homer by Mike Jorgensen with a man on base, brought the Expos a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals. Larry Parrish homered for the Expos in the seventh to tie the score at 1-1, but the Cards took the lead again with two runs in their half on a pass to Lou Brock, triple by Ron Fairly and single by Ted Simmons. The Expos opened their rally in the eighth with a single by Pepe Mangual. After Tim Foli struck out, Jorgensen tied the score with his homer. Larry Biittner then grounded out, but Barry Foote singled to chase Lynn McGlothen. With Mike Garman on the mound in relief, Gary Carter beat out an infield hit and Pete Mackanin singled to drive in pinch-runner Tony Scott.
