Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Orioles 3, A's 2 (night game) / Orioles 5, A's 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Paul Mitchell posted his first major league victory in the first game and Ross Grimsley, with help from Jim Palmer in the ninth inning, won the second game as the Orioles defeated the Athletics in a twi-night doubleheader, 3-2 and 5-1. This was the first time the A's had lost both ends of a twin bill since bowing in a pair with the Twins September 20, 1973. They had played 14 doubleheaders since then without losing both games. Mitchell held the Athletics to five hits but fell behind, 2-1, when Reggie Jackson homered in the fourth inning, but the Orioles came to the rescue of the rookie in their half. Lee May homered to tie the score, Don Baylor walked, stole second and scored the deciding run on a single by Brooks Robinson. In the nightcap, the Orioles started their scoring with a homer by Ken Singleton in the third inning and then erupted for four runs in the fourth. A bases-loaded single by Elrod Hendricks accounted for two tallies. Palmer replaced Grimsley after the A's filled the sacks with one out in the ninth and saved the game by inducing Sal Bando to ground into a double play.

White Sox 4, Brewers 2 at Chicago (day game):
The first grand-slam homer of Pat Kelly's entire baseball career powered the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Brewers. Bill Melton was safe on an error in the second inning and, after two out, Jerry Hairston singled and Brian Downing walked to fill the sacks for Kelly's smash off Bill Travers. George Scott accounted for one of the Brewers' runs with a homer. Rich Gossage, who relieved with two men on base in the sixth, finished the game and received credit for his 14th save of the season.

[DH] Angels 8, Indians 0 (night game) / Angels 3, Indians 2 at Cleveland (night game):
The Angels, after winning the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 8-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Frank Tanana, completed the sweep by defeating the Indians in the second game, 3-2, in 10 innings. Ellie Rodriguez had three hits for the Angels in the opener and drove in three runs. In the nightcap, the Indians counted a run in the seventh inning on a double by Rick Manning, a passed ball and sacrifice fly by George Hendrick. After Mike Miley homered to tie the score in the eighth, the Angels broke the deadlock with two runs in the 10th on a triple by Mickey Rivers, error by Jack Brohamer on a grounder by Dave Collins, walk to Dave Chalk and single by Winston Llenas. The Indians fell short in their half, scoring once on singles by Frank Duffy, Brohamer and Manning before Chuck Hockenberry relieved and struck out Hendrick to end the game.

Tigers 10, Royals 8 at Detroit (night game):
Aurelio Rodriguez hit the first grand slam of his major league career as the Tigers rallied for five runs in the sixth inning to defeat the Royals, 10-8. The Tigers, who were trailing, 7-4, began their outburst with a run on a double by Ben Oglivie and single by Willie Horton. A single by Jack Pierce and pass to Leon Roberts followed to load the bases and chase Marty Pattin. Doug Bird relieved and on his first pitch Rodriguez hit his homer. Gary Sutherland and Roberts also homered for the Tigers during the game. The Royals had a three-run smash by Al Cowens and a solo shot by Bob Stinson.

Twins 2, Yankees 1 at Minnesota (night game):
The Yankees completed the suspended game of July 12 with an 8-7 victory in the 16th inning, but the Twins came back to win the regularly-scheduled contest, 2-1, on the four-hit pitching of Jim Hughes and two-run double by Danny Thompson. The game of July 12 was transferred from New York after being stopped by a 1 a.m. curfew after 14 innings with the score tied, 6-6. After play resumed, the Twins took the lead in the 16th when Rod Carew singled, stole second and scored on a single by Tom Lundstedt. The Yankees then rallied to win in their half. Roy White and Thurman Munson singled and, after Fred Stanley forced Munson, Graig Nettles singled to drive in White and Lou Piniella singled to score Stanley.

Red Sox 8, Rangers 0 at Texas (night game):
Getting shutout pitching from Rick Wise, the red-hot Red Sox breezed to their 10th straight victory, defeating the Rangers, 8-0. After Cecil Cooper opened the scoring with a homer in the second inning, the Red Sox put the game away with six runs in the sixth. Denny Doyle capped the outburst, hitting for the circuit with two men on base.

Pirates 5, Dodgers 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
Throwing errors by Steve Garvey and Tom Paciorek after Mario Mendoza bunted in the ninth inning enabled the Pirates to score two unearned runs to defeat the Dodgers, 5-3. Manny Sanguillen opened the stanza with a single off Mike Marshall. Mendoza followed with his bunt for a sacrifice and when Garvey threw the ball into right field, Sanguillen reached third. Paciorek, who fielded the errant throw, then fired wildly to second base, allowing Sanguillen to score. Mendoza took second and, after a sacrifice by Dave Giusti, scored an insurance run on a sacrifice fly by Rennie Stennett.

Expos 4, Reds 2 at Montreal (day game):
A bases-loaded single by Nate Colbert in the eighth inning drove in two runs and gave the Expos a 4-2 victory over the Reds. Joe Morgan homered for the Reds in the eighth to tie the score at 2-2 before the Expos began their half with a single by Pete Mackanin and sacrifice by Gary Carter. Will McEnaney, relieving Pedro Borbon, walked Jose Morales intentionally. Carter then singled to load the bases before Colbert won the game with his hit.

Mets 5, Braves 4 at New York (day game):
Tom Seaver, who struck out six batters to raise his career total to 1,999, gained his 14th victory of the season when the Mets defeated the Braves, 5-4. Ed Kranepool drove in three runs for the Mets, who took a 5-2 lead in the seventh inning when John Stearns was hit by a pitch, Seaver grounded out, Wayne Garrett doubled and Kranepool singled. As a result, Seaver was able to survive a two-run homer by Mike Lum in the eighth.

Phillies 1, Astros 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
Pitching his first major league shutout, Larry Christenson was able to beat the Astros, 1-0, when the Phillies scored off Larry Dierker in the fourth inning on singles by Mike Schmidt and Garry Maddox and a sacrifice fly by Johnny Oates.

Padres 2, Cubs 1 at San Diego (night game):
The Padres were held to only one hit but profited from the wildness of Steve Stone, who walked five batters in the sixth inning, to defeat the Cubs, 2-1. Stone started his downfall by walking Dave Freisleben and Johnny Grubb on eight straight pitches. After a sacrifice by Tito Fuentes, Gene Locklear was handed an intentional pass to load the bases. Dave Winfield walked to force in the first run. Willie McCovey popped up, but Mike Ivie drew Stone's fifth free ticket of the inning, forcing in the Padres' deciding tally. Grubb singled in the seventh for their only hit. Freisleben, in winning, ended his personal six-game losing streak. As an oddity of the game, the Cubs' run in the second also was forced home on a pass to Jerry Morales with the bases loaded.

Giants 5, Cardinals 2 at San Francisco (day game):
Bobby Murcer homered with a man on base in the first inning and Willie Montanez batted in two runs with a single in the third to lead the Giants to a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals. After Murcer hit his round-tripper behind a single by Derrel Thomas, the Cards picked up their runs on doubles by Lou Brock, Willie Davis and Ted Simmons in the third before the Giants came back with a pair on a bases-loaded single by Montanez. Lynn McGlothen and Mike Garman, who pitched for the Cardinals, walked nine batters, six of them intentionally. Dave Rader drew four straight passes, three of them intentional.
