Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 8, Angels 4 at Chicago (day game):
Andy Hassler, who was beaten by the White Sox, 8-4, suffered his 10th straight loss, tying the Angels' club record for most consecutive defeats set by Ken McBride in 1964. Jorge Orta drove in three runs for the White Sox and Nyls Nyman batted in two. When the Angels cut the White Sox lead to 5-4 in the fourth inning, Dave Hamilton replaced Pete Vuckovich and pitched scoreless ball the rest of the way, allowing only three hits.

Yankees 6, Indians 3 at Cleveland (night game):
After four previous losses, the Yankees gained their first victory of the season in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, defeating the Indians, 6-3. Graig Nettles started the Yankee scoring with a two-run homer in the fourth inning. After picking up another pair in the fifth, the Yankees iced their victory in the sixth with a homer by Thurman Munson, pass to Alex Johnson, single by Chris Chambliss and a wild pitch.

Orioles 7, Tigers 6 at Detroit (night game):
After rallying for two runs to tie the score in the ninth inning, the Tigers lost to the Orioles in the 10th, 7-6, for their 12th straight defeat, coming within one of Detroit's all-time club record. The Orioles scored six of their runs in the sixth inning, getting two each on bases-loaded singles by Brooks Robinson and Mark Belanger. In the Tigers' rally in the ninth, Gates Brown led off with the 16th pinch-homer of his career, setting an A. L. record, and the tying tally followed on singles by Ron LeFlore, Dan Meyer and Bill Freehan. However in the 10th, Bobby Grich and Tommy Davis singled for the Orioles. After Tony Muser struck out, Grich was out at the plate on a grounder by Paul Blair, but Don Baylor doubled to drive in pinch-runner Al Bumbry.

Royals 10, Twins 2 at Kansas City (night game):
Fred Patek hit Vic Albury's first pitch of the game for an inside-the-park homer to start the Royals off to a 10-2 romp over the Twins. Paul Splittorff, who was the winner, was forced to quit the mound after six innings because of a blister on his pitching finger. Nelson Briles gave up the Twins' runs on a homer by Eric Soderholm in the ninth.

Red Sox 4, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (day game):
A winner for the eighth straight time, Rick Wise brought his record to 15-6 by pitching the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Brewers. The Red Sox decided the game against Jim Slaton with three runs in the third inning. After Rico Petrocelli doubled, Rick Burleson singled and Bernie Carbo walked to load the bases, Denny Doyle drove in two with a single and Fred Lynn accounted for the third run with a double. Mike Hegan hit two homers to account for the Brewers' runs before a crowd of 24,187, pushing the Milwaukee home attendance to 1,003,368.

A's 10, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
A grand slam by Joe Rudi and two homers by Billy Williams, who drove in three runs, helped power the Athletics to a 10-1 victory over the Rangers. Vida Blue held the Rangers to four hits, but yielded a run in the first inning and trailed, 1-0, until the fifth when the A's exploded for four runs off Jim Umbarger. Rudi hit his grand slam against Tommy Moore in the seventh after a single by Ray Fosse, wild throw on a bunt by Bert Campaneris and intentional pass to Williams.

Astros 6, Pirates 1 at Houston (night game):
The Astros got three-hit pitching from Dave Roberts and defeated the Pirates, 6-1. Greg Gross led the Astros' attack, hitting a double and scoring in the first inning and then rapping another double to drive in two runs in the sixth. Bob Robertson deprived Roberts of a shutout with a homer in the fourth inning.

Mets 7, Expos 0 at New York (day game):
Tom Seaver, who moved up one day in the Mets' starting rotation because Jon Matlack gashed his chin in an auto accident, pitched a three-hitter and shut out the Expos, 7-0, for his 15th victory of the season. The Mets put Seaver on easy street with five runs in the first inning, three scoring on a double by Mike Phillips.

Cubs 5, Phillies 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
Andre Thornton hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to wreck the strategy of the Phillies and power the Cubs to a 5-3 victory. With the score tied, 1-1, Jose Cardenal doubled with two out. Manager Danny Ozark of the Phillies ordered Larry Christenson to pass Jerry Morales intentionally to get at Thornton, who upset the applecart with his circuit clout.
