Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 4, Royals 0 at Baltimore (night game):
Yielding only two hits, Mike Cuellar pitched the Orioles to a 4-0 victory over the Royals. Steve Busby matched Cuellar in a scoreless duel until the seventh inning when Bobby Grich knocked in two runs with a double and crossed the plate himself on a single by Ken Singleton. Don Baylor homered for the other run in the eighth.

Angels 8, Yankees 1 at California (night game):
The Angels stole six bases, setting a club record for one game, while running over the Yankees, 8-1. Four of their thefts came in the fourth inning when the Angels scored three runs to start Pat Dobson on the way to his sixth straight defeat. Mickey Rivers had a perfect night at bat, collecting three singles and a double, and stole three bases to bring his season's total to 60. The Angels' team total was 190.

Rangers 7, Tigers 0 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers absorbed their third straight shutout and 16th defeat in a row when they collected only five hits off Gaylord Perry and lost to the Rangers, 7-0. The Rangers' support of Perry included a two-run homer by Toby Harrah in the second inning.

Twins 8, Brewers 7 at Minnesota (night game):
Eric Soderholm hit a three-run homer and Steve Braun added a two-run shot to lift the Twins to an 8-7 victory over the Brewers in a game that started off as a slugfest. Don Money homered with two men on base for the Brewers in the second inning and George Scott led off the third with a circuit clout to kayo Bill Butler. Hank Aaron greeted the arrival of Tom Johnson with the 744th homer of his career, but the Twins' rookie reliever held the Brewers scoreless the rest of the way. Soderholm narrowed the Brewers' lead to 7-6 in the Twins' half of the third, hitting his round-tripper after a pass to Johnny Briggs and single by Tony Oliva. Braun then provided the winning blow in the fifth, smashing his homer after a triple by Soderholm.

A's 4, Red Sox 3 at Oakland (night game):
The Athletics, after taking a 4-0 lead, staved off a rally by the Red Sox to gain a 4-3 victory. Claudell Washington led the A's attack with two doubles, scoring one run and driving in another. His second double came after a single by Bill North in the sixth inning and supplied what proved to be the deciding tally. The Red Sox kayoed Vida Blue in the eighth, exploding for their runs on a homer by Fred Lynn, single by Jim Rice and homer by Carlton Fisk. The A's had to call on three relievers before nailing down their victory.

Pirates 8, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
The Pirates ended a five-game losing streak by defeating the Braves, 8-1, clinching their victory with a six-run explosion in the ninth inning. Rennie Stennett scored the Pirates' first two runs, one on a wild pitch by Jamie Easterly in the first and the other on an error by Larvell Blanks in the third. John Candelaria, who started on the mound for the Pirates, allowed only four hits in six innings before a blister on his pitching hand forced his exit. Kent Tekulve gave up the Braves' run on a homer by Darrell Evans in the eighth, but the Pirates then put the game out of reach with their ninth-inning outburst that included a two-run double by Manny Sanguillen.

Reds 9, Cubs 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
George Foster had a perfect 5-for-5 night and Ken Griffey followed with 4-for-5 as the Reds pounded their way to a 9-3 victory over the Cubs. Jack Billingham, who pitched the route, fell behind, 3-1, before the Reds tied the score in the fifth with a triple by Pete Rose, single by Griffey and double by Tony Perez as the chief ingredients. The Reds then broke the tie with a two-run single by Griffey in the sixth and iced the victory with a two-run single by Perez and two-run double by Foster in the eighth.

Astros 7, Cardinals 2 at Houston (night game):
Jerry DaVanon drove in three runs with the second homer of his major league career and Cliff Johnson rapped four hits as the Astros defeated the Cardinals, 7-2. Harry Parker, making his debut with the Cardinals, was on the mound in the sixth inning when Johnson and Skip Jutze singled and DaVanon hit his homer to nail down the Astros' victory.

Giants 9, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
Pitching seven innings, Ed Halicki struck out 12 batters, the season's high for the Giants' staff, in a 9-2 victory over the Expos. Halicki, who also drove in two runs with a single, left the game when his right shoulder stiffened. Chris Speier batted in the Giants' first two runs with a double in the first inning and knocked in another run with a single in the sixth.

Mets 8, Padres 4 at New York (night game):
Skip Lockwood, who pitched five innings of scoreless relief, received credit for his first N. L. victory when the Mets defeated the Padres, 8-4. Lockwood took over after the Padres had rapped George Stone for four runs in the second to take a 4-3 lead. The Mets tied the score in their half with a double by Gene Clines and single by Felix Millan. Jesus Alou singled in the third, raced to third on a single by Rusty Staub and scored the Mets' leading run as Joe Torre bounced into a double play. Ed Kranepool then clinched the outcome by smashing a homer with two men on base in the sixth.

Dodgers 7, Phillies 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Andy Messersmith snapped his personal three-game losing streak by pitching the Dodgers to a 7-1 victory over the Phillies, who collected only four hits and scored their lone run on a homer by Greg Luzinski. The Dodgers got to Larry Christenson for three in the second inning. Messersmith drew a walk with the bases loaded to force in the first run and Davey Lopes doubled for two more. Willie Crawford homered with a man on base and Messersmith hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth when the Dodgers wrapped up their scoring.
