Twins 12, Angels 1 at California (night game):
Piling up 19 hits, the Twins overwhelmed the Angels, 12-1. Rod Carew collected a triple and three singles in five trips to raise his batting average to .385. The Twins scored three runs, two of them unearned, in the first inning and exploded for seven more runs on nine hits in the second. Staked to a big lead, Bert Blyleven breezed to victory, striking out 11 and allowing only five hits. The Angels avoided a shutout with a run-scoring single by Morris Nettles with two out in the ninth.

Tigers 4, Indians 3 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers erupted for all their runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Indians, 4-3, but lost the services of John Hiller, their ace reliever, who pulled a muscle in the back of his upper left arm. In the fourth, Ben Oglivie doubled and Willie Horton singled to tie the score at 1-1. After another single by Bill Freehan, Mickey Stanley tripled and scored himself on a single by Gene Michael. Alan Ashby homered with a man on base for the Indians in the seventh, forcing the exit of Ray Bare. Hiller worked two innings and struck out six, including five in a row, before being forced to leave the game.

[DH] Royals 6, Rangers 3 (night game) / Royals 6, Rangers 1 at Kansas City (night game):
The Royals, playing their first games under Whitey Herzog, who had replaced Jack McKeon as manager, swept a twi-night doubleheader with the Rangers, 6-3 and 6-1. The losses were the first for Frank Lucchesi, who had won three games as the Rangers' new manager. Cookie Rojas started the Royals on their way to victory in the opener by knocking in two runs with a triple in the second inning. Another triple by Hal McRae, double by John Mayberry, an infield out and wild pitch added a pair in the third. Rojas also doubled and scored on a double by Amos Otis in the seventh. Toby Harrah hit a two-run homer for the Rangers. In the nightcap, Al Cowens stepped into the batting spotlight for the Royals, driving in two runs with a triple in the fourth inning and two more with a homer in the eighth.

Brewers 5, Orioles 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Hank Aaron drove in three runs with a double to enable the Brewers to defeat the Orioles, 5-2, behind the four-hit pitching of Jim Colborn. The Orioles' runs in the second inning were unearned. Mike Torrez, who started for the Orioles, beat himself with a loss of control in the fifth, walking three batters to load the bases before Aaron came to bat and rapped his double.

Yankees 8, Red Sox 6 at New York (night game):
Led by Lou Piniella, who batted in four runs, the Yankees defeated the Red Sox, 8-6. Piniella tripled for his first two RBIs in the third inning and added two more with a bases-loaded single in the seventh when the Yankees scored four times to take an 8-2 lead. The Red Sox rallied for four runs in the eighth, chasing both Rudy May and Sparky Lyle, before Tippy Martinez saved the game by retiring Rick Burleson on a fly with the bases loaded.

A's 8, White Sox 6 at Oakland (night game):
After the Athletics came from behind three times to tie the score, Reggie Jackson took matters in his own hands and smashed a two-run homer in the 13th inning to beat the White Sox, 8-6. The White Sox took a 3-0 lead early in the game, but the A's picked up a pair on a single by Bill North and homer by Joe Rudi in the sixth before tying the score for the first time in the ninth on two walks and a single by North. Carlos May homered for the White Sox in the 11th, but the A's knotted the count again when North tripled to drive in Angel Mangual. After the White Sox once more took the lead with two runs on a bases-loaded single by Deron Johnson in the 12th, the A's came back with tying tallies on singles by Jackson and Rudi, a double steal and single by Phil Garner. The White Sox failed to score against Paul Lindblad in the 13th and the A's reliever gained credit for his seventh straight victory when North walked and Jackson hit his homer off Cecil Upshaw.

[DH] Padres 7, Braves 3 (night game) / Padres 8, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
With about 40 of his hometown relatives and friends from Decatur, Ga., on hand, Mike Ivie collected six hits and batted in four runs to help the Padres defeat the Braves in a twi-night doubleheader, 7-3 and 8-1. The Padres locked up the lidlifter when Ivie and Dick Sharon each hit a two-run double in the fifth inning. Darrell Evans had a homer for the Braves. Ivie drove in two runs in the nightcap, Dave Winfield accounted for two and Willie McCovey contributed a homer to the Padres' attack. Earl Williams saved the Braves from being shutout by hitting for the circuit in the fourth inning.

Mets 6, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
Dave Kingman hit a homer and three singles, driving in three runs, to lead the Mets to a 6-3 victory over the Cubs. Kingman plated one run with a single in the first inning and hit his homer with Rusty Staub on base in the third. Mike Phillips batted in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the fifth. Paul Reuschel made his debut with the Cubs, pitching in the same game with his brother Rick, who started and was knocked out in the fifth. Paul worked the last two innings in relief.

[DH] Dodgers 4, Reds 3 (night game) / Reds 6, Dodgers 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds, after losing the first game of a twi-night doubleheader to the Dodgers, 4-3, came back on the strength of a three-run homer by Pete Rose to win the second game, 6-3. In the lidlifter, Jim Wynn and Ron Cey homered for the Dodgers, while Dan Driessen hit one for the Reds, who held a 3-2 lead before the Dodgers rallied to score the tying and winning runs in the eighth inning. Steve Garvey opened the stanza with a single and counted on a double by John Hale. After an infield out that moved Hale to third and a pass to Leron Lee, Manny Mota batted for Bill Russell and laid down a squeeze bunt to score Hale. It was the Reds' turn to rally in the nightcap. Garvey hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers in the first inning. Trailing, 3-1, the Reds opened the seventh with a single by Merv Rettenmund and pass to Bill Plummer. Mike Marshall, who saved the first game for the Dodgers, replaced Al Downing. When Ken Griffey beat out a bunt, Marshall threw wildly to first, allowing Rettenmund to score. Pete Rose followed with his three-run homer to put the Reds ahead. George Foster added an insurance run with another round-tripper in the eighth.

Giants 8, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
Willie Montanez and Chris Speier each drove in three of the Giants' runs in an 8-1 victory over the Astros. Von Joshua, who had four hits for the Giants, led off the game with a single and scored on a walk to Derrel Thomas and single by Bobby Murcer. After another pass to Gary Matthews, Montanez and Speier hit successive two-run doubles. Montanez got his third RBI with a sacrifice fly in the seventh and Speier did it with a homer in the eighth. The Astros' lone run off Jim Barr came in the third on a walk and singles by Greg Gross and Enos Cabell.

Pirates 6, Expos 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Dave Parker collected three of the Pirates' six hits, including a homer, to support the pitching of Jerry Reuss, who allowed only four hits and beat the Expos, 6-1. Parker homered in the fifth inning before Barry Foote accounted for the Expos' run with a round-tripper in the seventh. The Pirates then broke the game apart in their half, scoring four runs. Bob Robertson was hit by a pitch and galloped home on a double by Richie Zisk to snap the tie. Parker singled. Zisk scored on a grounder by Art Howe, with other runners taking an extra base on a wild throw to the plate by Pete Mackanin. A sacrifice fly by Frank Taveras and single by Rennie Stennett added two more tallies. Ed Kirkpatrick closed out the scoring with a homer in the eighth.

[DH] Cardinals 4, Phillies 3 (night game) / Phillies 5, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (night game):
After trailing, 3-0, the Cardinals came from behind to win the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 4-3, before losing the second game to the Phillies, 5-2. Greg Luzinski drove in a run with a double in the first inning and Jay Johnstone plated a pair with a two-bagger in the second to stake the Phillies to their early lead in the lidlifter. After the Cards picked up a run in their half of the second, Reggie Smith homered in the sixth and drove in the tying tally with a single in the seventh. Then in the eighth, Mario Guerrero singled and raced home with the winning run on a double by Ted Sizemore. In the nightcap, after Smith homered to tie the score at 1-1 in the fifth inning, Luzinski hit for the circuit to break a deadlock in the sixth. The Phillies put their winning margin on the scoreboard in the seventh, loading the bases and counting three runs on an infield out by Dick Allen and double by Ollie Brown.
