Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 3, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Homers by Charlie Spikes and John Ellis carried the Indians to a 3-1 victory over the Orioles, who scored their lone run on a round-tripper by Ken Singleton. Spikes connected for the circuit in the fifth inning. Singleton tied the score in the seventh. Ellis then supplied the winning blow, hitting his homer in the eighth after Rico Carty reached base with a double.

Brewers 6, Red Sox 2 at Boston (day game):
The Brewers, who forged ahead with a pair of unearned runs in the seventh inning, clinched a 6-2 victory over the Red Sox when Sixto Lezcano homered with two men on base in the eighth. In the seventh, a single by Bill Sharp, forceout by Mike Hegan and double by Robin Yount set the stage for the tainted tallies on an error by Bob Heise and single by Don Money, breaking a 1-1 tie. Dwight Evans homered for the Red Sox in their half, but singles by George Scott and Hank Aaron and Lezcano's round-tripper iced the matter for the Brewers in the eighth.

Angels 5, White Sox 4 at California (night game):
The Angels rallied for three runs in the ninth inning and defeated the White Sox, 5-4. The White Sox built up a 4-2 lead with the aid of a two-run single by Ken Henderson before the Angels opened their rally with a walk to Leroy Stanton and singles by Tommy Harper and John Balaz, loading the bases and chasing Jim Kaat. Rich Gossage failed in relief, walking Joe Lahoud to force in one run and then giving up a pinch-single by John Doherty that drove in the tying and winning tallies.

Royals 6, Twins 4 at Minnesota (night game):
Fred Patek, who went into the game batting only .230 with 29 RBIs to his credit, rapped four hits and drove in three runs to pace the Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Twins. After the Twins took a 2-0 lead, Patek doubled and scored on an error by Rod Carew in the third inning. The Royals then erupted for four runs in the fourth, two scoring on a single by Patek. The Royals' tiny shortstop batted in another run with a single in the sixth.

Yankees 2, Tigers 1 at New York (night game):
Rudy May pitched a three-hitter and gained his 10th victory when the Yankees scored in the sixth inning on doubles by Bobby Bonds and Roy White and a single by Thurman Munson to defeat the Tigers, 2-1. The Tigers' run came in the previous stanza. Aurelio Rodriguez doubled, advanced to third after the catch on a fly by Ben Oglivie and scored on a sacrifice fly by Gene Michael.

A's 1, Rangers 0 at Oakland (night game):
A homer by Bert Campaneris in the third inning enabled the Athletics to defeat the Rangers, 1-0. Fergie Jenkins was the loser in a duel with Ken Holtzman, his former Cubs' teammate. However, Holtzman needed help after Toby Harrah and Tom Grieve hit singles in the ninth inning. Rollie Fingers relieved and struck out Jeff Burroughs. Paul Lindblad then took over and retired Jim Spencer on a grounder for the final out.

Dodgers 8, Braves 2 at Atlanta (night game):
The Dodgers, after breaking a 2-2 tie with a run in the sixth inning, scored on a double steal in the seventh and then added four tainted tallies in the eighth to clinch an 8-2 victory over the Braves. Steve Garvey doubled in the first to drive in the Dodgers' first two runs. Billy Williams tied the score with a two-run double in the third. Garvey walked in the sixth, advanced on a sacrifice and counted the tie-breaking run on a single by Ron Cey. Davey Lopes singled in the seventh, took third on a single by Bill Buckner and scored on a double steal, streaking home during an attempted rundown of Buckner between first and second.

Expos 6, Cubs 1 at Chicago (day game):
The Expos backed Steve Rogers with a 13-hit attack and defeated the Cubs, 6-1. The Expos scored twice in the second inning on a walk to Pete Mackanin and singles by Tim Foli, Rogers and Pepe Mangual. Two more runs followed in the third on an infield hit by Gary Carter, two errors and a homer by Mike Jorgensen before the Cubs picked up their lone tally in the fourth when Rick Monday hit for the circuit.

Reds 6, Giants 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds, who had been forced to call on the bullpen for 45 consecutive games, finally were able to give their relievers a rest when Pat Darcy hurled the route for the first time in his major league career and defeated the Giants, 6-1. Johnny Bench drove in a run with a single in the first inning and another with a double in the sixth, while Tony Perez accounted for three RBIs with a single in the first and triple in the seventh.

Astros 8, Padres 4 at Houston (night game):
A three-run homer by rookie reliever Jose Sosa, batting for the first time in his major league career, capped the Astros' attack in an 8-4 victory over the Padres. The Astros scored their first five runs on two homers in the sixth inning. Tommy Helms singled and Greg Gross walked ahead of a circuit clout by Jose Cruz. Then, after Cliff Johnson also walked, Doug Rader homered on reliever Bill Greif's first pitch. In the eighth, Gross walked and, after a sacrifice by Cruz, Johnson was handed an intentional pass, setting the stage for Sosa's smash off Danny Frisella. Bobby Tolan homered for the Padres.

Pirates 8, Phillies 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Led by Manny Sanguillen, who had a 5-for-5 night, the Pirates ended their string of nine straight losses to the Phillies with an 8-1 victory behind the pitching of Jerry Reuss. The Pirates built up a 7-0 lead against Steve Carlton before the Phillies picked up their lone run on a homer by Ollie Brown in the sixth inning. Three of the Pirates' runs counted in the fourth when Willie Randolph was safe on an error and Sanguillen and Al Oliver unloaded successive circut clouts.

Cardinals 5, Mets 2 at St. Louis (night game):
With all scoring packed into the first two innings, the Cardinals defeated the Mets, 5-2. The Mets counted their pair in the first on four straight singles by Felix Millan, Rusty Staub, Dave Kingman and Joe Torre. The Cardinals came back with their runs after two were out in the second. Larry Lintz and John Curtis walked and Bake McBride singled to drive in Lintz before Willie Davis came to the plate and smashed a three-run homer. Singles by Reggie Smith, Ted Simmons and Ron Fairly then added the final tally.
