Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 6, Twins 3 at Baltimore (night game):
A homer by Elrod Hendricks with two men on base in the 12th inning carried the Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the Twins. Bobby Grich walked and Tommy Davis singled ahead of Hendricks' two-out smash. The Twins counted all their runs in the third, two scoring on a homer by Dan Ford, to take a 3-1 lead. The Orioles tied the score in the ninth with a walk to Al Bumbry, single by Brooks Robinson, a sacrifice, single by Tony Muser and sacrifice fly by Ken Singleton.

Red Sox 8, Royals 3 at Boston (night game):
Led by Cecil Cooper, who smashed a double, triple and homer as the designated hitter, the Red Sox defeated the Royals, 8-3, for their eighth straight victory. Cooper banged his homer in the second inning, doubled and scored in the fourth and tripled with the bases loaded in the fifth. Rick Burleson also homered for the Red Sox, while John Mayberry hit one for the Royals.

[DH] White Sox 4, Tigers 0 (day game) / Tigers 9, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
Allowing only two hits, Wilbur Wood pitched the White Sox to a 4-0 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Tigers came back to win the second game, 9-1. Mickey Lolich, who lost the opener to Wood, gave up all White Sox runs in the third inning on a walk and four hits, plus an error by Tom Veryzer that made all runs unearned. In the nightcap, Aurelio Rodriguez led the Tigers at bat, accounting for four RBIs with a single and double.

A's 6, Indians 3 at Cleveland (night game):
After tying the score with homers by Reggie Jackson and Sal Bando in the second inning, the Athletics broke away with three runs in the third and defeated the Indians, 6-3. A double by Billy Williams, walk to Jackson and singles by Joe Rudi, Gene Tenace and Bando produced the tie-breaking tallies.

Angels 6, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (day game):
Dave Chalk and Morris Nettles drove in five runs between them in support of Ed Figueroa, who yielded only four hits and pitched the Angels to a 6-1 victory over the Brewers. Darrell Porter homered for the Brewers' run in the second inning. The Angels broke ahead in the sixth. After Mickey Rivers singled and Dave Collins doubled across the tying tally, Chalk came up with two out and smashed a two-run homer. Nettles batted in two runs with a single in the seventh and drew a walk with the bases loaded in the eighth for his third RBI of the game.

Rangers 7, Yankees 2 at Texas (night game):
Fergie Jenkins pitched a three-hitter and Jeff Burroughs drove in three runs as the Rangers broke their four-game losing streak by defeating the Yankees, 7-2. Burroughs batted in two runs with a double in the first inning and added his other RBI with a sacrifice fly in the second. Both Yankee runs were unearned.

Pirates 5, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Hitting safely in his 14th straight game, Dave Parker smashed two homers and drove in three runs as the Pirates defeated the Dodgers, 5-2. Willie Stargell also hit for the circuit in the Pirates' attack. John Hale batted in both of the Dodgers' runs with a sacrifice fly and single.

Expos 3, Reds 0 at Montreal (night game):
Steve Rogers and Dale Murray combined on a shutout and Pepe Mangual and Pete Mackanin hit homers as the Expos ended the Reds' 10-game winning streak, 3-0. A blister on his pitching finger forced Rogers off the mound after six innings. Mangual homered off Jack Billingham in the first and Mackanin followed with his drive in the fifth. The Expos' other run counted on a walk to Gary Carter and singles by Barry Foote and Larry Parrish in the sixth.

Mets 4, Braves 3 at New York (night game):
The Mets scored all their runs on three homers to defeat the Braves, 4-3. The Braves had a circuit clout by Cito Gaston in taking a 3-0 lead before the Mets rallied to tie the score with a single by Ed Kranepool and back-to-back homers by Rusty Staub and Dave Kingman in the sixth inning. Joe Torre broke the tie in the eighth with a round-tripper off Tom House, ending the Atlanta reliever's string of 28 innings without giving up a run.

Phillies 6, Astros 5 at Philadelphia (night game):
Alert running by Larry Bowa, who raced home from first base on a sacrifice bunt and wild throw in the 11th inning, brought the Phillies a 6-5 victory over the Astros. Bowa led off the stanza with a single. Jay Johnstone bunted to Doug Rader, who threw to Larry Milbourne covering first, as Bowa advanced. Noting that third base was temporarily unguarded, Bowa kept running and when Milbourne threw wildly, Bowa came home with the winning run.

Cubs 6, Padres 5 at San Diego (night game):
Manny Trillo batted in three runs and scored one to play the leading role as the Cubs edged the Padres, 6-5. Rick Monday homered for the Cubs in the second inning and Trillo scored after hitting a single. The Padres came back with a matching pair in their half on a single by Willie McCovey and homer by Randy Hundley, but the Cubs broke away with three runs in the third. Jose Cardenal doubled and counted on a single by Bill Madlock. After a single by Monday and pass to Andre Thornton loaded the bases, Trillo drove in two runs with a single. Trillo came up again with the sacks filled in the seventh and batted in what proved to be the winning run with an infield out.

Cardinals 1, Giants 0 at San Francisco (night game):
Ted Simmons drove in a run with a double in the ninth inning to give the Cardinals a 1-0 victory over the Giants. Jim Barr, who had shut out the Cardinals for 32 innings in various appearances since July, 1974, gave up a single by Lou Brock to open the ninth. Bake McBride forced Brock. After Reggie Smith popped up, Simmons hit his double and the speedy McBride galloped home from first base.
