Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] White Sox 4, Yankees 3 (day game) / White Sox 1, Yankees 0 at Chicago (day game):
With Dick Tidrow failing twice in relief, the Yankees lost both ends of a doubleheader to the White Sox, 4-3 and 1-0. The opener was decided in the 11th inning after Tidrow came to the mound. Bill Stein, who was the first batter to face the Yankee reliever, flied out, but Brian Downing smashed a homer to win the game for the White Sox. The Yankees sent the game into overtime when Graig Nettles tied the score with a two-run triple in the eighth inning. Larry Gura, who started the nightcap for the Yankees, gave up singles by Pete Varney and Lee Richard around a sacrifice by Pat Kelly before Tidrow took over. Tidrow walked Ken Henderson to load the bases and struck out Deron Johnson, but then hit Bill Melton with a pitch to force in Downing, who ran for Varney.

Tigers 5, A's 2 at Detroit (day game):
The relief work of John Hiller, who made his 10th straight appearance without allowing a run, saved the game for Joe Coleman as the Tigers defeated the Athletics, 5-2. Coleman gave up a homer by Reggie Jackson in the second inning but then did not allow another baserunner until Claudell Washington singled and went to third on another single by Joe Rudi in the seventh. After Jackson hit a sacrifice fly, Gene Tenace walked. Coleman threw three straight balls to Billy Williams before being removed in favor of Hiller. On Hiller's first pitch, Williams swung away and grounded out to end the inning.

Orioles 10, Brewers 7 at Milwaukee (night game):
Although Don Money hit two homers and George Scott, Gorman Thomas and Hank Aaron added one apiece, all five blows came with the bases empty as the Brewers lost to the Orioles, 10-7. Aaron's drive was his 10th of the season and 743rd of his career. The Orioles enjoyed a pair of four-run innings. In the sixth, Lee May walked and scored on a double by Jim Northrup, who advanced to third when Robin Yount threw wildly to the plate in handling the relay from the outfield. Northrup then scored on a wild pitch by Pete Broberg. Don Baylor singled and, after a forceout by Elrod Hendricks, a double by Doug DeCinces, error by Thomas and squeeze bunt by Mark Belanger added two runs. The Orioles won the game with their other four-run burst in the eighth on a single by DeCinces, triple by Belanger, singles by Ken Singleton, Bobby Grich and Tommy Davis and a wild pitch. Davis' single drove in two runs and put him over the 1,000 RBI mark for his career.

Red Sox 6, Twins 2 at Minnesota (day game):
Starting their scoring with a two-run homer by Jim Rice in the first inning, the Red Sox defeated the Twins, 6-2, behind the pitching of Rick Wise, who gained his sixth straight victory. Bob Heise also batted in two runs for the Red Sox, hitting a single with the bases loaded in the fifth.

Dodgers 8, Cardinals 2 at Los Angeles (day game):
The Cardinals, who had won five straight games, were stopped on their streak by the Dodgers, 8-2. Burt Hooton pitched a six-hitter and gained his first victory since June 18. The Dodgers, after scoring on a double by Steve Garvey in the first inning, put the game away with four runs in the second on three hits, an error and sacrifice flies by Lee Lacy and Garvey. Steve Yeager had three hits in three official trips, including a homer. Doug Howard hit his first major league homer for the Cardinals in the fifth, batting for loser Lynn McGlothen.

Astros 6, Expos 5 at Montreal (night game):
With a triple by Larry Milbourne as the big blow, the Astros scored four runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Expos, 6-5. Trailing, 3-2, the Astros tied the score on singles by Bob Watson and Milt May around a balk by Steve Renko. Metzger also singled and Milbourne then hit his triple, driving in two runs, before crossing the plate himself on a single by Wilbur Howard. Renko, Mike Jorgensen and Pete Mackanin hit homers for the Expos.

Reds 2, Mets 1 at New York (day game):
Tom Seaver struck out five batters to raise his career total to 2,004, but the Mets' ace was defeated by the Reds, 2-1. The Reds scored both their runs in the second inning. Johnny Bench walked and, with one out, was forced by George Foster. Dave Concepcion also walked. Cesar Geronimo then singled to drive in one run and Fred Norman followed with a single to plate what proved to be the deciding tally. The Mets collected four hits off Norman in the fifth but failed to score because two runners were thrown out on the bases by throws from outfielders Ken Griffey and Foster. The Mets, who collected 12 hits, finally counted in the ninth on singles by Ed Kranepool and Gene Clines and a sacrifice fly by Felix Millan.

Braves 5, Phillies 4 at Philadelphia (night game):
Phil Niekro doubled and drove in the deciding run in the seventh inning while pitching the Braves to a 5-4 victory over the Phillies. The Braves took a 3-2 lead in the fourth when Earl Williams and Dusty Baker singled and Rowland Office homered, but the Phillies tied the score in the fifth with singles by Larry Bowa and Greg Luzinski and infield out by Dick Allen. Larvell Blanks singled for the Braves in the seventh and counted the tie-breaking run on a double by Biff Pocoroba. Niekro followed with his two-bagger and the run proved decisive when the Phillies counted once in their half of the seventh on a double by Dave Cash, a flyout and a passed ball.

Cubs 4, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
Bill Bonham helped himself with a run-scoring single and gained a victory with the assistance of Oscar Zamora as the Cubs defeated the Giants, 4-3. An error by loser Ed Halicki led to two unearned runs in the first inning. Then in the fourth, Gene Hiser, Tim Hosley and Bonham hit singles to produce another run and Don Kessinger followed with a sacrifice fly to plate what proved to be the deciding tally. Chris Speier drove in two of the Giants' runs with an infield out and single.
