Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 8, Angels 3 at Baltimore (night game):
The Orioles handed Nolan Ryan his eighth straight defeat, routing the Angels' ace in the second inning en route to posting an 8-3 victory. The Orioles scored four runs off Ryan in the first, one crossing the plate on a single by Tommy Davis and two on a single by Brooks Robinson. Davis then applied the kayo blow in the second, hitting a homer with a man on base. Davis added his fourth RBI of the game with a single in the fourth. Don Baylor wrapped up the Orioles' scoring with a homer in the fifth.

Yankees 11, White Sox 6 at Chicago (night game):
Sandy Alomar collected three doubles, batting in two runs and scoring three, to lead the Yankees' attack in an 11-6 victory over the White Sox. Jim Kaat, who started for the White Sox in a bid for his 15th victory, was kayoed in the seventh inning. Catfish Hunter, who was the winner, also departed under fire in the eighth. Dick Tidrow, relieving, gave up a run-scoring single by Nyls Nyman and hit two batters with pitches before Tippy Martinez took over with the bases loaded and struck out Pat Kelly to end the rally. Kelly had accounted for the first three White Sox runs with a homer off Hunter in the fifth.

[DH] A's 11, Tigers 0 (night game) / A's 16, Tigers 4 at Detroit (night game):
Scoring a total of 27 runs to set an Oakland club record for a doubleheader, the Athletics swamped the Tigers, 11-0 and 16-4. Glenn Abbott held the Tigers to three hits in the opener. Gene Tenace homered in the third inning and added two RBIs with a single in the sixth when the A's exploded for seven runs. Larry Haney hit his first homer of the season with a man on base in the ninth. In the nightcap, the A's had two big innings, scoring nine runs in the fourth and six more in the sixth. In the fourth, Reggie Jackson and Billy Williams each homered with two aboard. Sal Bando added a solo swat in the fifth before the A's went on their other scoring spree in the sixth.

[DH] Royals 3, Brewers 2 (night game) / Brewers 6, Royals 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
Homers proved decisive in a split of a twi-night doubleheader as the Royals won the first game, 3-2, and the Brewers took the second game, 6-3. Vada Pinson started the Royals on the way to their victory in the opener with a circuit clout in the fourth inning. A single by Cookie Rojas and double by John Mayberry added a marker in that same stanza. Buck Martinez then provided what proved to be the Royals' winning run with a round-tripper in the fifth. In the nightcap, the Brewers prevailed with the help of two-run homers by George Scott in the first inning and Don Money in the seventh.

Red Sox 5, Twins 4 at Minnesota (night game):
The Red Sox built up a 5-0 lead, with a two-run single by Carlton Fisk as their decisive blow, and held on to defeat the Twins, 5-4. In the second inning, a walk to Fred Lynn, triple by Jim Rice and single by Rico Petrocelli gave the Red Sox their first two tallies. Three other runs followed in the third. After singles by Denny Doyle and Lynn around a pass to Carl Yastrzemski loaded the bases, Cecil Cooper walked to force in one run and Fisk followed with his two-run single. The Twins were unable to catch up, although Rod Carew hit a homer with a man on base in the sixth.

Rangers 4, Indians 0 at Texas (night game):
Posting the third shutout in his last four starts, Gaylord Perry yielded only two hits and pitched the Rangers to a 4-0 victory over the Indians. The Rangers decided the outcome with three runs in the third inning. Jeff Burroughs walked with the bases loaded to force in the first marker and Jim Spencer followed with a single to add two more. A walk to Spencer and singles by Toby Harrah and Roy Howell accounted for the last run in the fifth. The shutout victory was the Rangers' second straight since Frank Lucchesi replaced Billy Martin as manager.

Cardinals 4, Dodgers 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
Al Hrabosky, continuing to gain revenge on manager Walter Alston for leaving him off the N. L.'s All-Star team, was the winner in relief when the Cardinals defeated the Dodgers in 11 innings, 4-3. Hrabosky had previously won over the Dodgers in two successive games July 12-13 after Alston announced his pitching selections. Mike Marshall, who was named to the All-Star team, drew the Dodgers' defeat when Ron Fairly singled in the 11th, Willie Davis doubled and Mario Guerrero hit a sacrifice fly.

Expos 2, Astros 1 at Montreal (night game):
A single by Gary Carter in the 11th inning for his third hit of the game drove in the run that gave the Expos a 2-1 victory over the Astros. Pepe Mangual walked to lead off and Mike Jorgensen sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Larry Biittner, Carter rapped his single to pin the defeat on Jose Sosa, a loser in relief in his first appearance for the Astros since being called up from Columbus (Southern).

Mets 3, Reds 1 at New York (night game):
Jerry Koosman stole the first base of his major league career, giving the Mets' lefthander something more than his pitching to remember in a 3-1 victory over the Reds. After the Mets took a 1-0 lead, Koosman singled in the third inning and then made a surprise dash for second. When catcher Bill Plummer's throw went into center field, Koosman advanced to third in position to score on a sacrifice fly by Wayne Garrett. The Reds' only run came in the ninth on singles by George Foster, Dave Concepcion and Merv Rettenmund.

Phillies 1, Braves 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
A wild throw by Vic Correll in attempting to complete a double play in the ninth inning enabled the Phillies to defeat the Braves, 1-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Steve Carlton. Jay Johnstone led off the ninth with an infield single for the Phillies' sixth hit off Carl Morton, who then suffered a spell of wildness, walking Greg Luzinski and Dick Allen to load the bases. Regaining his control, Morton retired Mike Schmidt on a pop fly. Johnny Oates then grounded to Marty Perez, who threw home, forcing Johnstone, but Correll's peg to first base hit Oates and bounced away, allowing Luzinski to cross the plate.

Padres 1, Pirates 0 at San Diego (night game):
A triple by Johnny Grubb in the sixth inning for the first hit in his last 15 times at bat and a single by Tito Fuentes enabled Randy Jones to pitch the Padres to a 1-0 victory over the Pirates. The shutout was the fifth of season for Jones, who triumphed in his duel with Bruce Kison.

Giants 9, Cubs 5 at San Francisco (night game):
Willie Montanez, who batted in four runs with a sacrifice fly, homer and single, played a big part in the Giants' 9-5 victory over the Cubs. Montanez' sacrifice and an error by Jose Cardenal put three runs on the board in the first inning. The Cubs erupted for four runs in the fourth, but the Giants had a matching four-run outburst in the fifth, two scoring on Montanez' homer. Montanez singled for his fourth hit of the game in the seventh and crossed the plate on a double by Chris Speier.
