Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 10, Rangers 4 at Boston (day game):
Carl Yastrzemski drove in three runs, Doug Griffin accounted for two and Jim Rice hit a homer as the Red Sox defeated the Rangers, 10-4. Mike Hargrove had two of the Rangers' eight hits off Luis Tiant and batted in three runs. Tiant became the first Red Sox pitcher to have a turn at bat since the last game of the 1972 season. When designated hitter Cecil Cooper entered the game at first base, Tiant batted in Yastrzemski's place in the eighth inning and flied out.

Indians 9, Angels 1 at California (night game):
Nolan Ryan, who had not been a winner since June 6, was handed his sixth straight setback when the Indians defeated the Angels, 9-1. The Indians decided Ryan's fate when Boog Powell walked, George Hendrick singled and Oscar Gamble homered in the fourth inning. Dennis Eckersley held the Angels to five hits and gave up their lone run on two walks and a single by John Doherty in the eighth.

Tigers 2, Royals 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Bill Freehan homered in the second inning and the Tigers added another run in the third on a double by Aurelio Rodriguez and single by Ron LeFlore to defeat the Royals, 2-0, behind the six-hit pitching of Lerrin LaGrow.

Brewers 5, White Sox 4 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Brewers, after building up a 5-0 lead, stood off the White Sox, 5-4, to bring Jim Slaton credit for his fifth straight victory. Charlie Moore provided the Brewers' deciding hit, driving in their last two tallies with a single in the third inning. Slaton gave up three runs in the fourth and then was removed after Bill Melton homered in the seventh. Eduardo Rodriguez saved the game.

Yankees 8, Twins 7 at New York (night game):
After 14 innings, a 1 a.m. curfew halted play between the Twins and Yankees with the score tied, 6-6. The game was to have been resumed prior to the next day's regularly-scheduled contest, but it was rained out. A new date was to be set later (play resumed on July 19). Catfish Hunter, who started for the Yankees, was rapped for homers by Steve Braun and Tony Oliva but held a 3-2 lead going into the ninth when the Twins erupted for four runs. Hunter was removed after a leadoff double by Danny Thompson. Dick Tidrow gave up an infield hit by Dan Ford. Sparky Lyle took over and yielded a run-scoring single by Rod Carew, safe bunt by Johnny Briggs and single by Oliva that put the Twins ahead, 4-3. Doc Medich then became the Yankees' fourth pitcher of the inning and was tagged for a two-run single by Larry Hisle before retiring the side. The Yankees rallied to tie the score in their half. Jim Mason singled to chase Jim Hughes and Rich Coggins homered off Tom Johnson for the first two runs. Rick Dempsey kept the rally going with a single and, after an infield out by Roy White, Thurman Munson singled to drive in the tying tally.

A's 7, Orioles 1 at Oakland (day game):
Jim Perry yielded only three hits in pitching the Athletics to a 7-1 victory over the Orioles. Jim Palmer, who had been bothered recently by tendinitis, started for the Orioles and was ineffective, going out in seventh inning after giving up all of the A's runs. including three on a homer by Billy Williams.

[DH] Braves 9, Expos 4 (night game) / Expos 7, Braves 3 at Atlanta (night game):
Homers by Darrell Evans, Earl Williams and Dusty Baker helped power the Braves to a 9-4 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader before the Expos came back to win the second game, 7-3, with the aid of two circuit clouts by Gary Carter. Evans and Williams hit their round-trippers successively in the first inning of the opener to tie the score at 2-2. The Braves then took command with four runs in the fifth. Carl Morton doubled and scored on a single by Marty Perez. After Williams walked with two away, Baker hit his homer to add three runs to the Braves' total. In the nightcap, Carter drove in three runs with his pair of homers. Bob Bailey accounted for two RBIs with a single and sacrifice fly. Larvell Blanks hit a homer for the Braves.

Cubs 6, Giants 4 at Chicago (day game):
Rick Monday drove in two runs with a double and Jerry Morales produced another pair with a single as the Cubs piled up an early lead to defeat the Giants, 6-4. Derrel Thomas and Dave Rader hit homers for the Giants off Steve Stone, who survived a major threat in seventh inning by striking out Glenn Adams, Von Joshua and Thomas in succession with runners on second and third.

Reds 3, Mets 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds struck for three runs, all unearned, off Jerry Koosman in the first inning and made them stand up for a 3-2 victory over the Mets. Pete Rose led off with a single and Dave Concepcion was safe on an error by Millan. Joe Morgan singled to load the bases. After Johnny Bench popped up, Tony Perez singled to drive in Rose. George Foster went out, but Merv Rettenmund singled, scoring Concepcion and Morgan. The Mets counted their two runs off Pat Darcy in the second, but then were held scoreless by the pitching of Tom Carroll and Rawly Eastwick the rest of the way.

Phillies 14, Astros 2 at Houston (night game):
While Steve Carlton pitched a four-hitter, the Phillies went on a batting rampage with 18 hits, including Greg Luzinski's 25th homer of the season, to trample the Astros, 14-2. Bob Watson homered in the first inning to produce the Astros' pair, but that lead quickly vanished in the second when the Phillies exploded for seven runs on seven hits and three walks. In addition to his homer, Luzinski had a single and double, giving him seven consecutive hits, plus two walks, in two games with the Astros before the slugger struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh.

Pirates 6, Padres 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Continuing his red-hot hitting, Willie Stargell drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly, homer and triple, but the Pirates' slugger had to share the honors with Bill Robinson in a 6-4 victory over the Padres. After Stargell's triple drove in Al Oliver and tied the score at 4-4 in the eighth inning, Robinson came to the plate and smashed a homer for the winning runs.

Cardinals 2, Dodgers 1 at St. Louis (day game):
Adding drama to "We Hlove Hrabosky Hbanner Hday," the Cardinals' reliever gained credit for a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers in 10 innings. The Cardinals arranged for the banner display for the nationally televised contest to allow fans to show their resentment because Dodger manager Walter Alston had failed to name Hrabosky to the N. L.'s All-Star team. The Dodgers, who scored on a homer by Davey Lopes off Lynn McGlothen in the fifth inning, had a 1-0 victory in their grasp until Reggie Smith tied the score with a homer off Al Downing in the ninth. Hrabosky, who pitched the last two innings without allowing a hit, was the winner when the Cardinals broke through against Rick Rhoden for their winning run in the 10th on a single by Ken Reitz, sacrifice by Mike Tyson and pinch-single by Bake McBride, scoring pinch-runner Buddy Bradford.
