Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 7, Orioles 5 at Baltimore (night game):
Rick Waits claimed his first major league victory, thanks to a two-run, two-out, 10th-inning single by Charlie Spikes, who earlier had contributed a solo homer in the Indians' 7-5 decision over the Orioles. Baltimore rallied with three runs in the ninth on a two-run single by Ken Singleton, the tying run scoring later when Cleveland could not complete what would have been a game-ending double play. Spikes homered in the third and Rico Carty in the eighth for the Indians. Bobby Grich connected with the bases empty for the Orioles in the sixth.

Red Sox 7, Brewers 6 at Boston (night game):
Carlton Fisk drove in five runs, including the clincher in the ninth when he singled with the bases loaded, boosting the Red Sox to a 7-6 victory over the Brewers, Boston's 18th win in their last 21 games. The Red Sox' catcher singled home a run in the first, hit a two-run homer in the fourth, and tied the score with a solo four-bagger in the seventh. Five Milwaukee runs were the result of homers. Darrell Porter hit a two-run shot in the third, Kurt Bevacqua duplicated that effort in the fourth, and Sixto Lezcano connected with the bases empty in the sixth.

White Sox 3, Angels 2 at California (night game):
The White Sox bunched all their scoring in the fifth inning to edge the Angels, 3-2, rookie Nyls Nyman singling home two of the runs. Brian Downing chased home the winning run with a sacrifice fly. The Sox' Wilbur Wood, although he was relieved in the eighth, got credit for his fourth straight victory. California scored twice after two were out on a walk, double by Mickey Rivers and single by Dave Collins. Rich Gossage replaced Wood and was credited with his 15th save.

Twins 9, Royals 8 at Minnesota (night game):
Lyman Bostock singled with the bases loaded in the ninth to make 9-8 winners of the Twins, who stopped new Royal manager Whitey Herzog's victory streak at four games. Bostock's fourth hit of the night followed a double by Eric Soderholm, a walk and infield hit by Luis Gomez. The Royals had tied the score in the eighth on John Mayberry's RBI double, after blowing a 5-1 third-inning lead. Cookie Rojas hit a first-inning solo homer for the losers, who added four runs in the top of the third before Rod Carew homered with a man aboard in the bottom of the frame. The Twins led for the first time in the sixth after a homer by Johnny Briggs and RBI single by Jerry Terrell.

Tigers 3, Yankees 0 at New York (night game):
Vern Ruhle shut out the Yankees, scoreless in their last 27 innings, on six hits, and Willie Horton whacked his 17th homer of the season as the Tigers tamed New York, 3-0. After Horton led off the second with his round-tripper, Bill Freehan walked, took third on Aurelio Rodriguez' single and scored as the Yankees turned over a double play. New York reliever Ron Guidry forced home the final Tiger run with a bases-loaded walk in the ninth.

A's 12, Rangers 6 at Oakland (night game):
Helped by three Ranger errors which led to five runs in the sixth inning, reliever Paul Lindblad picked up his eighth victory without a loss as the Athletics defeated Texas, 12-6. The Rangers got away to a 3-0 lead, but Reggie Jackson's two-run homer in the fourth, his sixth in eight games, closed the gap. The A's entered the sixth trailing, 4-2. Jackson doubled and scored on a single by Joe Rudi, who went to second on an error by Mike Hargrove. Reliever Tommy Moore walked Gene Tenace and gave an intentional pass to Sal Bando after a wild pitch to the load bases with none out. Tenace scored the tying run on catcher Jim Sundberg's throwing error, and pinch-hitter Jim Holt singled home the go-ahead run. Claudell Washington singled home another run with two out, and the fifth marker tallied on a second error by Hargrove.

Braves 5, Dodgers 3 at Atlanta (night game):
A two-run single by rookie Biff Pocoroba in the eighth inning was the decisive blow as the Braves pinned a 5-3 defeat on Mike Marshall and the Dodgers. Pocoroba wiped out a 3-2 Los Angeles lead with his bases-loaded blow. Winning pitcher Phil Niekro followed with a single for an insurance run as Marshall was pinned with his 10th defeat in 16 decisions. Pocoroba also got an RBI single in the second after walks to Dusty Baker and Larvell Blanks. The Braves' other run came in the third on a walk, stolen base by Darrell Evans, throwing error by L. A. catcher Paul Powell and single by Rowland Office. Willie Crawford singled home the first Dodger run in the first. The losers added two in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Ron Cey and RBI single by Bill Russell.

Cubs 4, Expos 2 at Chicago (day game):
Jose Cardenal's first homer since May 31, with Rick Monday aboard in the fifth inning, snapped a tie and carried the Cubs to a 4-2 triumph over the Expos. Chicago scored twice in the first on two walks, Bill Madlock's single, a sacrifice fly by Jerry Morales and Pete LaCock's RBI single. Mike Jorgensen and Larry Biittner produced the Expos' tallies with run-scoring singles in the top of the third.

Reds 8, Giants 4 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds went to their bullpen for the 44th consecutive game, a major league record, but still rolled, defeating the Giants, 8-4. Pedro Borbon relieved starter Gary Nolan after the Giants had scored single runs in the second and third, but the Reds had gotten an early jump on Dan Driessen's three-run homer off loser Ed Halicki in the first. They got two more in the fourth, Pete Rose doubling home one, and added three in the sixth, Rose again contributing a two-bagger. Chris Speier homered for the losers in the eighth.

Padres 2, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Dave Freisleben blanked the Astros on five hits and drove in the only run he required as the Padres defeated Houston, 2-0. San Diego tallied once in the fifth when Hector Torres doubled, advanced to third on an infield hit by Bob Davis, and crossed the plate as Freisleben hit into a forceout. Willie McCovey's ninth-inning homer accounted for the game's only other scoring. Freisleben escaped his only jam in the third when he got Bob Watson on a pop-up with the bases loaded and two out.

Phillies 5, Pirates 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Dick Allen snapped a 1-1 tie with a two-run triple in the eighth and scored on pinch-hitter Ollie Brown's single to lift the Phillies past the Pirates, 5-2. Philadelphia added one run in the ninth on a walk and double by Greg Luzinski. Larry Christenson went the route for the winners, allowing six hits, including solo homers by Al Oliver in the fourth and Willie Stargell in the ninth.

Mets 11, Cardinals 7 at St. Louis (night game):
The Mets, leading in the sixth by a 10-1 margin, hung on to win a slugfest from the Cardinals, 11-7, with Felix Millan providing four of the winners' 17 hits. Millan singled and scored in the first, opened a four-run third with a base hit, singled across two runs in a five-run sixth, and doubled home the final New York run in the seventh. The Cardinals rallied with four markers in the sixth and got a two-run homer from Ken Reitz in the ninth.
