Today's scores and summaries:

A's 5, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (day game):
Phil Garner and Reggie Jackson batted in two runs apiece to enable the Athletics to defeat the Orioles, 5-2. After Garner accounted for his RBIs with a bases-loaded double in the second inning, the Orioles tied the score in the sixth. Ken Singleton led off with a homer. Paul Blair singled, stole second and counted on a single by Lee May. The A's came back with the winning runs in the seventh after Sal Bando was hit by a pitch and Bert Campaneris walked. Claudell Washington drove in the tie-breaking tally with a double and Jackson then clinched the verdict with a two-run single.

[DH] White Sox 9, Brewers 2 (day game) / White Sox 10, Brewers 5 at Chicago (day game):
After winning the first game of a doubleheader, 9-2, behind Wilbur Wood's four-hit pitching, the White Sox overpowered the Brewers in the second game, 10-5, with the aid of a grand-slam homer by Bill Stein. Ken Henderson had four hits for the White Sox in the opener and drove in three runs. The Brewers' pair came on a homer by Gorman Thomas in the second inning. The Brewers knocked out Claude Osteen in the first inning of the nightcap, getting a double by Bobby Mitchell and triple by Hank Aaron while scoring four runs. Danny Osborn held the Brewers scoreless for 6 1/3 innings before turning over the mound to Bill Gogolewski, who gave up the Brewers' last run on a homer by George Scott. The White Sox, after picking up a pair in the second, put the game away in the fourth on the first grand slam of Stein's major league career. The blow came off Pete Broberg after Henderson singled, Bill Melton was hit by a pitch and Nyls Nyman beat out an infield grounder. Melton added three runs to the White Sox' total with a homer in the seventh.

Indians 10, Angels 4 at Cleveland (day game):
Homers by Rick Manning, Buddy Bell and Rico Carty powered the Indians to a 10-4 victory over the Angels. Bell drove in the Indians' first run with a single in the second inning and scored himself on a double by Alan Ashby. Manning led off the third with his homer and Bell capped the inning by hitting for the circuit with two men on base. Carty's round-tripper produced two runs in the fourth. Dave Collins hit his first major league homer for the Angels, connecting with two aboard in the eighth.

Tigers 7, Royals 3 at Detroit (day game):
Consecutive homers by Leon Roberts and Jack Pierce in the sixth inning and an inside-the-park drive by Ben Oglivie in the seventh paced the Tigers to a 7-3 victory over the Royals. Willie Horton doubled before Roberts and Pierce rapped their homers. Oglivie's smash that got past Hal McRae's diving try in left field drove in Mickey Stanley, who reached base on an error. Tony Solaita hit a homer for one of the Royals' runs off Ray Bare.

[DH] Yankees 14, Twins 2 (day game) / Yankees 5, Twins 4 at Minnesota (day game):
The Yankees, after trouncing the Twins in the first game, 14-2, completed the sweep of a doubleheader by winning the second game, 5-4, with a two-run rally in the ninth inning. Homers by Thurman Munson, Bobby Bonds and Roy White highlighted the Yankees' 17-hit attack in the opener. Glenn Borgmann accounted for one of the Twins' runs with a round-tripper. In the nightcap, the Twins took a 4-3 lead with an unearned run in the seventh inning before the Yankees began their rally in the ninth with a triple by Munson. Rick Dempsey drove in the tying run with a single and Ed Herrmann followed with the game-winning blow.

[DH] Rangers 10, Red Sox 5 (night game) / Red Sox 3, Rangers 2 at Texas (night game):
The Red Sox, whose 10-game winning streak was stopped with a 10-5 loss in the opener of a doubleheader, snapped back to edge the Rangers in the nightcap, 3-2. The Rangers handed Roger Moret his first defeat of the season in the lidlifter. Lenny Randle drove in three runs with a triple and double. Tom Grieve also accounted for three RBIs with a single and double. Fred Lynn homered for the Red Sox for the 100th hit of his rookie season. In the nightcap, Cecil Cooper and Rick Burleson led the Red Sox at bat. Cooper drove in the first run with a triple in the second inning. Burleson singled and scored in the fifth. Then in the seventh, Cooper doubled and Burleson singled to produce what proved to be the winning marker. The Rangers got their runs in the home half of the seventh when Toby Harrah homered with a man on base.

Dodgers 5, Cubs 3 at Los Angeles (day game):
With two away, Bill Buckner beat out a grounder in the 12th inning for his fourth hit of the game and John Hale followed with a homer to carry the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory over the Cubs. Buckner batted in two of the Dodgers' first three runs, while Bill Madlock had two RBIs for the Cubs, including a homer that tied the score at 3-3 in the eighth. Mike Marshall was the Dodgers' winner, pitching the last three innings and allowing only one hit in relief of Burt Hooton.

Expos 6, Braves 5 at Montreal (day game):
The Braves posted a 5-4 victory in the completion of the protested game of May 15, but then lost the regularly-scheduled contest to the Expos, 6-5, in 11 innings. The May 15 game in Montreal was stopped by rain in the bottom of the fourth inning with the Braves leading, 4-1. Manager Clyde King protested that the umpires called the contest too quickly and he was upheld by league President Chub Feeney. When play resumed, the Braves added what proved to be the winning run when Marty Perez doubled and Cito Gaston singled in the fifth inning. The Braves sent the regularly-schedule game into overtime by tying the score at 5-5 in the ninth with a run on singles by Ralph Garr and Darrell Evans around an infield out by Perez. However in the 11th, the Expos decided matters when Tim Foli singled, Pepe Mangual sacrificed and Pete Mackanin singled.

Mets 10, Astros 9 at New York (day game):
Capping a big day at bat, Dave Kingman homered with a man on base in the eighth inning, giving him six RBIs for the game, to climax a four-run rally that brought the Mets a 10-9 victory over the Astros. Kingman drove in one run with a grounder in the first inning and three with a homer in the fifth when the Mets came back with five runs after the Astros had scored five times in the top half of the inning. Bob Watson drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single and knocked in two more with another bases-loaded single in the sixth. The Mets' rally in the eighth began with a run on doubles by Jesus Alou and Felix Millan. Joe Torre followed with a single to drive in Millan before Kingman provided the winning blow with his second homer of the game.

Phillies 11, Reds 4 at Philadelphia (day game):
The Phillies, who took advantage of Clay Kirby's wildness to score four runs in the first inning, erupted for four more in the third and defeated the Reds, 11-4, for their fourth straight victory. Three walks, an error by Tony Perez that allowed two runs to score, a single by Mike Schmidt and two more passes produced the Phillies' counters in the first. Schmidt homered with two men on base for the big blow in the third.

[DH] Cardinals 3, Padres 1 (day game) / Cardinals 10, Padres 2 at San Diego (day game):
After frittering away their scoring opportunities before winning the first game, 3-1, in 11 innings, the Cardinals piled up 17 hits in the second game and walloped the Padres, 10-2. Lou Brock stole two bases for the Cards in each game. In the opener, Brock singled in the 11th and pilfered second as Willie Davis struck out. After an intentional pass to Reggie Smith, Ted Simmons flied out, but Ron Fairly came through with a double to drive in Brock and Smith. In the nightcap, Mike Tyson batted in four runs and Buddy Bradford drove in three to lead the Cardinals' attack. Tito Fuentes homered for the Padres.

[DH] Giants 2, Pirates 1 (day game) / Pirates 7, Giants 1 at San Francisco (day game):
The Pirates, who collected only two hits off Ed Halicki in losing the opener of a doubleheader, 2-1, were wrapped in another close contest in the nightcap before erupting for five runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Giants, 7-1. Halicki helped himself to victory in the lidlifter, hitting a double off Jim Rooker in the eighth inning and scoring the Giants' first run on a triple by Von Joshua. Bobby Murcer followed with a single to drive in what proved to be the winning marker. Willie Stargell doubled for the Pirates' first hit in the fourth and Manny Sanguillen homered for their run in the ninth. The Giants, who collected only four hits off Ken Brett and Dave Giusti in the second game, scored their run in the first inning on a triple by Joshua and sacrifice fly by Murcer. The Pirates came back to take a 2-1 lead before clinching the verdict with their five runs in the eighth on five hits, including a homer by Richie Zisk with a man on base.
