Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Red Sox 3, Tigers 2 (night game) / Red Sox 6, Tigers 1 at Boston (night game):
Denny Doyle hit safely in his 17th and 18th straight games to help the Red Sox sweep a twi-night doubleheader from the Tigers, 3-2 and 6-1. The opener was decided in the 10th inning when Doyle singled, Fred Lynn walked and Jim Rice singled to drive in the winning run. In winning the nightcap, the Red Sox collected only six hits but benefited from seven walks, plus an error by Gene Michael that resulted in three unearned runs. Doyle and Bernie Carbo had two hits apiece and each drove in one run and scored one.

Twins 7, Royals 2 at Minnesota (day game):
Three homers, including Phil Roof's first of the season, featured the Twins' 7-2 victory over the Royals. Eric Soderholm homered in the second inning. Tony Oliva connected in the fourth and, after Steve Braun doubled and Johnny Briggs walked, Roof also hit for the circuit.

Braves 11, Dodgers 10 at Atlanta (night game):
A six-run rally in the ninth inning, climaxed when Rowland Office homered off Mike Marshall with two men on base, carried the Braves to an 11-10 victory over the Dodgers. Darrell Evans homered for the Braves in the first. The Dodgers erupted for six runs in the fifth on only four singles plus two walks, two hit batsmen and a sacrifice fly. The Braves began their last-stand rally with a single by Ralph Garr, who stole second and scored on a single by Rod Gilbreath. Evans walked and Earl Williams doubled to score Gilbreath and bring Marshall to the mound. Dusty Baker struck out, but Larvell Blanks drove in a run with a single before Office won the game for the Braves with his homer.

Cubs 5, Cardinals 3 at Chicago (day game):
The Cardinals handed out three intentional passes in the eighth inning and two of them backfired as the Cubs scored two runs to gain a 5-3 victory. Ken Reynolds, who relieved in his first appearance with the Cards, walked Rick Monday to open the stanza before giving way to Mike Garman. Bill Madlock sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Jose Cardenal, Jerry Morales doubled, driving in Monday to break the 3-3 tie. Pete LaCock was handed an intentional pass to load the bases. Manny Trillo laid down a sacrifice bunt, scoring Cardenal. A third intentional pass then went to George Mitterwald and this time it worked when Paul Reuschel struck out to end the inning. Reuschel pitched two perfect innings in relief and received credit for his first major league victory.

Reds 11, Giants 6 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds rapped nine extra-base hits, including a three-run homer by Johnny Bench, and defeated the Giants, 11-6. Darrel Chaney had three doubles among the Reds' 12 hits. The Reds exploded for six of their runs in the second inning. George Foster, Chaney and Clay Kirby hit doubles for two runs. Ken Griffey walked and Dan Driessen singled for another tally before Bench connected for his homer. The Reds clinched the verdict with three more runs in the sixth on a hit batsman, Chaney's third double, a triple by Pete Rose and a wild pitch. The Giants had homers by Bruce Miller and Von Joshua among their 11 hits.

Padres 5, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
The Padres, after tying the score with the aid of a homer by Mike Ivie in the sixth inning, added an unearned run in each of the last two stanzas to defeat the Astros, 5-3. Two of the Astros' tallies also were tainted. Willie McCovey was hit by a pitch in the eighth and after successive forceouts by Dave Winfield and Bobby Tolan, a stolen base by Tolan, wild throw by catcher Skip Jutze on the play and an error by Larry Milbourne on a grounder by Hector Torres allowed the tie-breaking run to score. An error by Greg Gross was a factor when the Padres picked up an insurance run in the ninth.

Expos 7, Phillies 4 at Montreal (night game):
Larry Parrish and Jim Dwyer drove in two runs apiece to lead the Expos to a 7-4 victory over the Phillies. Parrish accounted for his RBIs with a single in the first inning. Dwyer hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth and inside-the-park homer in the seventh. Larry Bowa hit a homer for the Phillies in the fifth and doubled home another run in the seventh.

Mets 6, Pirates 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Two homers by Dave Kingman and one by Joe Torre enabled the Mets to gain a 6-2 victory to end their string of eight straight losses to the Pirates this season. Kingman hit his first homer of the game in the second inning. With the score tied, 2-2, Gene Clines was safe on an error in the eighth. Felix Millan forced Clines. One out later, Kingman came to the plate and whacked his second homer of the game and 13th in the month of July for an all-time Met record. Rusty Staub drew a walk after Kingman's blow and Torre iced the victory by hitting for the circuit.
