Today's scores and summaries:
Red Sox 7, Rangers 5 at Boston (day game):
Fred Lynn drove in four runs and Carl Yastrzemski collected five straight hits as the Red Sox defeated the Rangers, 7-5, for their seventh straight victory. Lynn knocked in one run with a double in the first inning and two more with another double in the third before adding his fourth RBI with a grounder in the fourth. Rick Wise, although staked to a 7-0 lead, failed to last the route and the Red Sox had to call on relievers Bill Lee and Jim Willoughby to nail down their victory. Roy Howell homered for the Rangers.
Indians 8, Angels 7 at California (day game):
The Indians equaled the A. L. record for most consecutive victories in one opponent's park by defeating the Angels for the 13th straight time in Anaheim Stadium, 8-7. The record was set by the Yankees, who beat the former Browns 13 times in a row in St. Louis in the 1939-40 seasons. The Angels had a 3-1 lead before the Indians erupted for five runs in the seventh inning, two scoring on a pinch-single by Boog Powell and two on a double by Buddy Bell for his fourth straight hit. Powell remained in the game, taking over at first base, and batted in another run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth when the Indians scored twice to take an 8-4 lead. The Angels came close to breaking the Indians' mastery when Mike Miley hit his first major league homer in the ninth, connecting with two men on base.
Tigers 8, Royals 4 at Kansas City (day game):
The batting of Gary Sutherland and Aurelio Rodriguez led the Tigers to an 8-4 victory over the Royals. Sutherland drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and double. Rodriguez, who hit a double and two singles, knocked in two runs and scored two. Joe Coleman gave up three runs to the Royals in the first inning on a double by Jim Wohlford, safe bunt by George Brett, double by John Mayberry, a sacrifice and wild pitch. John Hiller relieved in the seventh, put down a Royals' threat and gained his 12th save.
White Sox 5, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
Nyls Nyman drove in two runs with a single and also stole home, while Wilbur Wood pitched a three-hitter as the White Sox defeated the Brewers, 5-0. In the fourth inning, Bill Travers, pitching for the Brewers, issued three walks to load the bases and Nyman followed with his single. Bill Stein singled to add another run. Nyman took third on the hit and then came home on the front end of a double steal with Stein. Nyman also doubled and scored the last run on a single by Pat Kelly in the sixth inning.
A's 4, Orioles 3 at Oakland (night game):
Ken Holtzman gained his fifth straight victory, but the lefthander needed help from Rollie Fingers before the Athletics defeated the Orioles, 4-3. A two-run double by Billy Williams in the second inning capped the A's scoring and proved to be the winning blow. Holtzman had a 4-1 lead going into the seventh when Paul Blair singled with one out and Brooks Robinson homered. Jim Todd, in relief, faced three batters and retired only one while giving up two hits before Fingers arrived on the scene. Fingers walked Bobby Grich to load the bases and then struck out Tommy Davis.
Braves 5, Expos 4 at Atlanta (day game):
The alert baserunning of Darrell Evans, who scored from first on a single by Mike Lum in the 14th inning, brought the Braves a 5-4 victory over the Astros. Earl Williams drove in three of the Braves' first four runs for a 4-1 lead. The Expos battled back and tied the score in the eighth when Larry Parrish singled, Pete Mackanin sacrificed and Tim Foli singled for his second RBI of the game. In the 14th, Evans walked with one out. Mike Lum singled to right, sending Evans to third. When Lum broke for second and the Expos attempted to cut off his advance, Evans kept going and crossed the plate with the Braves' winning run.
Giants 4, Cubs 1 at Chicago (day game):
The pitching of John Montefusco and Charlie Williams, who combined on a six-hitter, enabled the Giants to defeat the Cubs, 4-1. Montefusco yielded only two hits in the first seven innings before giving up the Cubs' run on singles by Jose Cardenal, Jerry Morales and Rick Monday in the eighth. Williams, relieving with one out, retired the next two batters and allowed one hit while setting down the Cubs in the ninth. Bruce Miller led the Giants at bat with three hits, driving in one run and scoring one.
Reds 5, Mets 3 at Cincinnati (day game):
Rallying for four runs in the seventh inning, the torrid Reds extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 5-3 victory over the Mets. The Mets scored all their runs off Gary Nolan in the first and were breezing along behind the two-hit pitching of Tom Seaver before the Reds erupted. Joe Morgan ignited the rally by drawing a walk and stealing second. After advancing on a passed ball, Morgan scored on a double by Dan Driessen. Tony Perez struck out, but Cesar Geronimo beat out an infield hit. Dave Concepcion singled to drive in Driessen. After Terry Crowley walked to load the bases, Rick Baldwin replaced Seaver. Pete Rose then singled to drive in two runs, putting the Reds ahead and breaking Seaver's personal eight-game winning streak.
Astros 9, Phillies 5 at Houston (day game):
Dave Roberts, relieving for only the third time this season, struck out Ollie Brown with the bases loaded in the seventh inning and saved the Astros' 9-5 victory over the Phillies. Wilbur Howard and Cliff Johnson had three hits apiece in the Astros' total of 15. Johnson drove in three runs. Mike Schmidt homered among the Phillies' nine hits.
Padres 7, Pirates 5 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Taking advantage of two errors by Richie Hebner, the Padres scored three unearned runs in the fifth inning for a lead that stood up in a 7-5 victory over the Pirates. Gene Locklear hit a homer for the Padres, who were ahead, 4-3, going into the fifth. Hebner's first error on a grounder by Bobby Tolan then opened the gates. Locklear walked and Hector Torres drove in both runners with a double. Hebner next mishandled a grounder by Randy Hundley for his second error. Torres, after taking third, scored on a single by Enzo Hernandez. The Pirates could do no more than narrow the gap with two runs in the eighth on a pinch-homer by Duffy Dyer, an error and single by Al Oliver.
Cardinals 2, Dodgers 1 at St. Louis (day game):
The same three players who proved a winning combination in the previous day's game starred again for the Cardinals in their second successive 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. Dave Lopes, for the second straight game, supplied the Dodgers' lone run with a homer. After his blow in the eighth inning tied the score at 1-1, Bake McBride tripled off Mike Marshall in the ninth and Reggie Smith singled to give the victory to Al Hrabosky in relief.
