Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Indians 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Lee May and Bobby Grich drove in three runs apiece in support of Mike Torrez, who pitched the Orioles to a 7-1 victory over the Indians. May knocked in two runs with a double in the third inning to break a 1-1 tie and scored on a single by Grich. The Orioles added three more runs in the third on a pass to May with the bases loaded and single by Grich.

Brewers 4, Red Sox 0 at Boston (night game):
Making his first start since May 16, 1972, Diego Segui was doomed by gopher pitches and lost to the Brewers, 4-0, to snap the Red Sox streak of 10 straight victories at home. Don Money and Darrell Porter opened the game with consecutive circuit clouts. Money homered again in the third inning. Jim Colborn scattered seven hits in posting the shutout. Gorman Thomas, who had struck out six straight times going into the game, fanned in second and fourth innings to tie the league record for most consecutive strikeouts by a non-pitcher. The mark was set by Jim Fuller of the Orioles in 1973.

White Sox 7, Angels 4 at California (night game):
Deron Johnson broke out of an 0-for-17 slump with his first homer since June 30 to start the White Sox off to a 7-4 victory over the Angels. Bucky Dent singled and Ken Henderson walked ahead of Johnson's smash in the fourth inning. The White Sox added three runs in the fifth, one scoring on a single by Pat Kelly and two on a homer by Henderson. Carlos May accounted for their final run with a circuit clout in the ninth. The power display enabled the White Sox to win although they collected only five hits to 11 for the Angels.

Royals 5, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Paul Splittorff, making his first start since June 29 after serving time in the bullpen, allowed only five hits in 6 1/3 innings and was a winner when the Royals defeated the Twins, 5-2. George Brett drove in the Royals' first run with a sacrifice fly in the second and then accounted for two more with a homer in the fifth.

Yankees 4, Tigers 2 at New York (night game):
The Yankees, who had been shut out for 27 consecutive innings in three previous games, broke their scoring drouth and defeated the Tigers, 4-2. Thurman Munson, celebrating the birth of a son, batted in two runs, accounting for the initial marker with an infield out in the first inning after a walk to Bobby Bonds and error by Jack Pierce. A single by Bonds, sacrifice by Rich Coggins, single by Munson, double by Graig Nettles and single by Lou Piniella produced three more runs in the fifth before the Tigers got on the board with a double by Ben Oglivie and homer by Willie Horton in the sixth.

Rangers 6, A's 1 at Oakland (night game):
Toby Harrah smashed the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to open a four-hit night for the Rangers' shortstop in a 6-1 victory over the Athletics. Harrah stroked his homer off Jim Perry in the first inning after the Rangers loaded the bases on singles by Dave Moates and Lenny Randle and a pass to Jim Spencer. A homer by Spencer added a run in the fifth. Harrah picked up his fifth RBI of the game in the ninth. Steve Hargan, who hurled the route for the Rangers, gave up the A's run on a homer by Joe Rudi.

Braves 4, Dodgers 2 at Atlanta (night game):
Blue Moon Odom, who had lost four straight decisions since being acquired from the Indians, received credit for his first N. L. victory when the Braves defeated the Dodgers, 4-2. Odom was lifted with the bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning. Ron Cey then doubled off Elias Sosa, driving in the Dodgers' two runs, before Tom House took over to retire Steve Yeager. Singles by Rowland Office, Larvell Blanks and Ralpg Garr produced the Braves' first run in the second and Darrell Evans homered in the fifth before the deciding pair crossed the plate in the eighth on a single by Marty Perez and Evans' putout at the plate on a grounder by Earl Williams, single by Dusty Baker and error by John Hale.

Cubs 4, Expos 3 at Chicago (day game):
After picking up their first two runs on homers by Rick Monday and Tim Hosley, the Cubs added a pair in the eighth inning and defeated the Expos, 4-3. Pinch-hitter Champ Summers singled to break a 2-2 tie after the Cubs had loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batsman. Another pinch-hitter, Vic Harris, then forced Summers to drive in what proved to be the winning run.

Giants 4, Reds 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
A double by Bobby Murcer on reliever Will McEnaney's first pitch drove in two runs in the ninth inning and gave the Giants a 4-2 victory over the Reds. A homer by Ken Griffey and triple by Merv Rettenmund paced the Reds to a 2-0 lead before the Giants tied the score in the fifth on singles by Bruce Miller, Steve Ontiveros and Von Joshua and sacrifice fly by Murcer. Fred Norman, who started for the Reds, was removed in the eighth, marking the 45th straight game in which manager Sparky Anderson had been forced to turn to his bullpen. With Rawly Eastwick on the mound in the ninth, Joshua singled and stole second. Dave Rader walked, bringing on McEnaney for his one pitch to Murcer.

Astros 6, Padres 2 at Houston (night game):
Greg Gross and Ken Boswell collected three singles apiece and Dave Roberts pitched a four-hitter as the Astros defeated the Padres, 6-2, to snap a five-game losing streak. Boswell batted in two runs and scored one, while Gross drove in one run and scored one. The Padres, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak, had homers by Willie McCovey and Dave Winfield for their markers.

Phillies 5, Pirates 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Tom Underwood pitched a four-hitter and also doubled home two runs as the Phillies defeated the Pirates, 5-1. The victory, achieved with a four-run outburst in the fourth inning, was the Phillies' ninth straight over the Pirates. Dick Allen walked to open the fourth and scored on singles by Jay Johnstone and Garry Maddox before Underwood smashed his double. Larry Bowa, who had four hits in the game, then singled to drive in Underwood. A double by Al Oliver and pair of infield outs accounted for the Pirates' lone run in their half of the fourth.

[DH] Cardinals 5, Mets 3 (night game) / Mets 11, Cardinals 6 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals beat Tom Seaver in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 5-3, but the Mets came back to win the second game, 11-6. With the score tied, 1-1, Seaver retired the first two batters in the fifth inning before a triple by Bake McBride, infield hit by Willie Davis, pass to Reggie Smith and singles by Ted Simmons and Ron Fairly produced three runs. Fairly homered off reliever Ken Sanders in the eighth. Del Unser had a round-tripper for the Mets. In the nightcap, Unser and John Milner drove in three runs apiece. Unser had four hits. Three of the Mets' first seven runs were unearned on a pair of errors by Mario Guerrero before they clinched the victory with four runs in the eighth on a single by Unser, double by Milner, pass to Rusty Staub, double by Dave Kingman and single by Joe Torre. Smith homered for the Cardinals.
