Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 6, Twins 3 at Boston (night game):
Jim Rice's three-run homer triggered a four-run first inning and sent the Red Sox on to a 6-3 victory over the Twins. Rice's blow was preceded by Bernie Carbo's triple and a walk to Rick Miller. Their fourth run came on singles by Dwight Evans and Doug Griffin wrapped around a walk to Rick Burleson and followed by Bob Heise's groundout. Griffin's single in the fifth and Miller's double in the eighth drove in the two other Bosox runs. Twins' manager Frank Quilici was ejected from the game in the ninth for arguing a ball-and-strike call.

Tigers 2, White Sox 1 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers scored their sixth straight victory, edging the White Sox, 2-1. After Ken Henderson's homer in the second inning had given the Sox a 1-0 lead, the Tigers won the game in the fourth. Gary Sutherland opened with a single and scored on Leon Roberts' triple. Willie Horton then hit a high pop fly to right which Pat Kelly caught after a long run but was unable to make an accurate throw to the plate. It was Horton's 60th RBI of the season, tops in the league.

Brewers 4, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
Second baseman Bob Sheldon, playing in his second game since being recalled from Sacramento, slapped a two-out, two-run single in the sixth to send the Brewers to a 4-3 victory over the Royals. Sheldon stroked his decisive hit after the Brewers had loaded the bases. George Scott opened the inning with a single and moved to third on Hank Aaron's single, but was caught in a rundown trying to score on Bobby Darwin's grounder. Charlie Moore drew a walk to load the sacks and set the stage for Sheldon's game-winning blow. A walk to Scott and triple by Darwin plated the Brewers' first run in the fourth and they added another in the fifth on Moore's double and Sheldon's RBI single. The Royals got all their runs in the fourth, Cookie Rojas' single driving in two and Fred Patek's sacrifice bunt the other.

Yankees 5, Rangers 2 at New York (night game):
Three home runs proved the difference as the Yankees defeated the Rangers, 5-2. After the visitors jumped ahead in the first frame on Jeff Burroughs' single which produced two runs, the home team got one back in the bottom of the inning on a homer by Roy White. The Yanks took the lead in the fourth on walks to Ron Blomberg and Thurman Munson and singles by Graig Nettles and Rich Coggins. Nettles opened the home seventh with hs 14th circuit clout of the year and one out later Jim Mason cracked another to cap the scoring.

A's 7, Indians 3 at Oakland (night game):
Joe Rudi slammed two solo homers and Billy Williams added a two-run blast to power the A's to a 7-3 victory over the Indians. A single by Reggie Jackson and Williams' homer, his 10th, plus a walk to Gene Tenace, a stolen base and single by Phil Garner staked the A's to a 3-0 lead in the second. Bill North's single, his first of two stolen bases and Claudell Washington's single made it 4-0 in the third and Rudi's first homer increased the lead to 5-0 in the sixth. The Tribe chased starter Jim Perry in the seventh, getting one run, and scored two more in the eighth on Boog Powell's circuit wallop. Rudi belted his second homer in the eighth to close out the scoring.

Mets 3, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
Homers by Rusty Staub and Dave Kingman supported steady pitching by Hank Webb and paced the Mets to a 3-1 victory over the Braves. Staub hit a solo blast in the fourth and Kingman hit a two-run clout in the seventh. The Braves' run came on a throwing error by shortstop Jack Heidemann.

Pirates 5, Cubs 0 at Chicago (day game):
Three Pirate pitchers combined for a 5-0 victory over the Cubs. Ken Brett, recently returned from the disabled list, hurled the first seven frames and got credit for the win. The Pirates picked up a 1-0 margin in the fourth inning on Manny Sanguillen's RBI single. That was the difference until the ninth when the visitors added four more, the big blow being Al Oliver's three-run homer.

Reds 7, Phillies 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
Tony Perez and George Foster hit two-run homers to power the Reds past the Phillies, 7-3. The Reds jumped on starter and loser Steve Carlton for three runs in their first turn at bat. Ken Griffey's triple and Joe Morgan's sacrifice fly started the scoring and, after Johnny Bench singled, Perez unloaded a long smash into the top-most deck of Riverfront Stadium. The fourth Red run came in the third stanza on Bench's RBI single. Dick Allen's error gave the home team another score in the sixth and Foster's 15th circuit clout of the campaign followed a walk to Perez in the seventh inning.

Astros 5, Expos 1 at Houston (night game):
The Astros got all their hits and runs in one inning and Larry Dierker pitched his eighth complete game of the season to top the Expos, 5-1. Bob Watson singled with one out in the fourth, moved to second on a wild pitch and, after Cliff Johnson walked, scored on Doug Rader's double. Roger Metzger received an intentional walk but another run then scored on a passed ball. The bases were reloaded on another intentional walk, this one to pinch-hitter Ken Boswell, and Dierker then helped his own cause, driving in a run with a sacrifice bunt. Wilbur Howard's two-run single drove in Metzger and Boswell to cap the rally. The Expos' only score came on a wild pitch.

Cardinals 8, Giants 6 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals got away to an early 5-0 lead and held off the Giants to post an 8-6 victory. A triple by Luis Melendez and double by Ken Reitz highlighted the four-run opening inning and, when the Giants narrowed the margin to 5-3, Ted Simmons hit a two-run homer in the fifth. The Card catcher singled home another tally in the seventh. Al Hrabosky recorded his 14th save of the season, tops in the league. Giant pitchers were aided by having three Cardinals thrown out at the plate by outfielders.
