Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Twins 9, Angels 4 (night game) / Angels 5, Twins 0 at California (night game):
Nolan Ryan, who had lost eight straight decisions, gained his first victory since June 6 when the Angels won the second game of a twi-night doubleheader, 5-0, after losing the first game to the Twins, 9-4. Ryan, who allowed six hits, was lifted after loading the bases with none out in the eighth inning. Magnificent relief pitching by Jim Brewer, who retired Rod Carew, Tony Oliva and Eric Soderholm without allowing a run to score, saved Ryan. The Angels' scoring in the game included a two-run homer by John Balaz. In the lidlifter, the Twins trailed, 3-2, until they knocked out Ed Figueroa and scored four runs in the eighth inning on bases-loaded singles by Soderholm and Danny Thompson.

Indians 6, Tigers 0 at Detroit (day game):
Dennis Eckersley, Indians' rookie righthander, posted his second shutout of the season and brought his record to 7-3 with a 6-0 victory over the Tigers. The Indians started Mickey Lolich on the road to defeat in the second inning, scoring two runs on a walk to Frank Robinson, double by Charlie Spikes and single by Frank Duffy. Alan Ashby homered in the fourth. George Hendrick singled and Rico Carty hit for the circuit in the fifth. The final run followed in the ninth on a single by Duffy and triple by Buddy Bell.

Royals 7, Rangers 0 at Kansas City (night game):
John Mayberry, Tony Solaita and George Brett drove in two runs apiece to escort the Royals to a 7-0 victory over the Rangers behind the six-hit pitching of Al Fitzmorris. Mayberry, who collected four hits in the game, accounted for his RBIs with a double in the first inning. Solaita added a pair with a single in the third. After Amos Otis homered in the fifth, the Royals went on to add their last two runs on a single by Mayberry, pass to Solaita and double by Brett.

Orioles 4, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
Mike Cuellar posted his second one-hitter of the season and fourth of his major league career while pitching the Orioles to a 4-0 victory over the Brewers. George Scott led off the seventh inning with a single for the Brewers' lone hit. Cuellar had one-hitters in 1969 and '71 and then this year held the Angels to one hit on May 31.

Red Sox 4, Yankees 2 at New York (day game):
Carlton Fisk batted in three runs, including two in the ninth inning, as the Red Sox defeated the Yankees, 4-2. A triple by Fred Lynn and double by Fisk started the Red Sox scoring in the second. The Yankees knotted the count on a grounder by Ed Herrmann with the bases loaded in the fifth. The tie then persisted until the ninth when Denny Doyle doubled, Carl Yastrzemski singled and Lynn walked to load the bases. Jim Rice hit a sacrifice to break the tie and Fisk followed with a single, driving in two runs to supply the Red Sox with their winning margin. The Yankees picked up one run in their half on a walk to Chris Chambliss, a wild pitch and single by Graig Nettles.

White Sox 5, A's 2 at Oakland (day game):
Becoming the first 15-game winner in the major leagues this season, Jim Kaat pitched the White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Athletics. Bucky Dent provided essential batting support for Kaat, driving in four runs. A double by Pat Kelly, error by Reggie Jackson on the hit to right field and sacrifice fly by Dent produced the initial run in the first inning. The A's powered their way ahead with homers by Phil Garner and Gene Tenace before Jorge Orta doubled, Kelly walked and Dent hit for the circuit to decide the outcome in the eighth inning.

Padres 4, Braves 2 at Atlanta (night game):
A two-run homer by Johnny Grubb proved the Padres' deciding blow in a 4-2 victory over the Braves. Grubb singled and scored in the third before hitting his homer after a double by Jerry Johnson in the fifth. The Braves came back with a pair in the seventh on a homer by Dave May, pass to Larvell Blanks, single by Rod Gilbreath and sacrifice fly by Mike Lum, but the Padres clinched their victory with another run in the eighth on a double by Bobby Tolan and single by Gene Locklear.

Mets 9, Cubs 8 at Chicago (day game):
Although Bill Madlock collected six straight hits in a perfect day at bat, the Cubs succumbed to the Mets, 9-8, in 10 innings. Madlock batted in three runs. Felix Millan, who extended his batting streak to 19 games, had four hits for the Mets and drove in four runs. Rick Monday homered for the Cubs and Dave Kingman for the Mets, who were forced into overtime when Jerry Morales hit for the circuit in the ninth to tie the score at 7-7. In the 10th, a pass to Jerry Grote and singles by Mike Phillips, Joe Torre and Millan produced two runs and enabled the Mets to survive an RBI single by Madlock in the Cubs' half.

Reds 5, Dodgers 3 at Cincinnati (day game):
Four hits by Rose, who scored three runs and drove in one, paced the Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Dodgers. John Hale homered for the Dodgers, who were locked in a 3-3 tie with the Reds before a single by Pete Rose, errors by Ron Cey and Doug Rau and sacrifice fly by Johnny Bench broke the deadlock in the fifth inning. The Reds then added an insurance run in the eighth on a single by Merv Rettenmund, pass to Jack Billingham and double by Rose. Billingham needed help in the ninth from Rawly Eastwick, who relieved with the potential tying runs on base and struck out Ken McMullen to end the game.

[DH] Giants 3, Astros 2 (night game) / Giants 9, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
The Giants eked out a 3-2 victory in the first game and then had an easier time winning the second game, 9-3, in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the Astros. Doug Rader homered for the Giants in the fourth inning of the opener, but the Astros went ahead, 2-1, before Bobby Murcer drove in two runs with a double in the eighth to give the Giants their edge. In the nightcap, Chris Speier, Steve Ontiveros and Bruce Miller each drove in two runs to lead the Giants' attack.

Expos 5, Pirates 2 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Pepe Mangual scored two and drove in one of the Expos' first three runs before Barry Foote hit a two-run triple in the eighth inning to nail down a 5-2 victory over the Pirates. Mangual tripled and crossed the plate on a single by Jose Morales in the third inning. Tim Foli singled, Steve Rogers sacrificed and Mangual singled for another run in the fourth. Mangual took second on the throw and came home on a single by Pete Mackanin. A single by Morales and pass to Nate Colbert preceded Foote's triple in the eighth. Art Howe hit two doubles for the Pirates and had a hand in both their runs.

Phillies 9, Cardinals 4 at St. Louis (night game):
Dick Allen drove in three runs with a pair of singles and the Phillies picked up four more runs on two outfield errors to defeat the Cardinals, 9-4. Allen's hits put the Phillies ahead, 3-2, one of the Cardinals' runs coming on a homer by Ted Simmons. Steve Carlton hit a fly that Buddy Bradford dropped in the seventh inning, opening the way for three runs, two of them the unearned. Ken Rudolph homered with a man on base in the Cards' half, but an error by Luis Melendez on another Carlton fly in the eighth enabled the Phillies to add two more tainted tallies.
