Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 3, Royals 0 at Baltimore (night game):
Jim Palmer had to wait out two rain delays totaling nearly two hours, but the Orioles' ace righthander pitched his second two-hitter of the season and beat the Royals, 3-0. The victory was Palmer's 18th and the shutout was his eighth of the year, tying the Baltimore club record set by Steve Barber in 1961. The Orioles scored all their runs in the sixth inning. Paul Blair singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Lee May before Don Baylor wrapped up matters with a homer.

Angels 8, Red Sox 3 at California (night game):
Sending 12 batters to the plate, the Angels scored six runs in the third inning and proceeded to beat the Red Sox, 8-3. Mickey Rivers and Adrian Garrett hit run-scoring doubles during the outburst and Mike Miley knocked in two tallies with a single.

White Sox 4, Indians 3 at Chicago (night game):
A pass to Pete Varney with the bases loaded and two out in the 12th inning handed the White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Jim Bibby walked Carlos May and then Ken Henderson with one out before giving way to Rick Waits. Jorge Orta beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Lee Richard forced May at the plate for the second out, but Varney batted for Nyls Nyman and drew four straight balls for the walk that forced in Henderson.

Rangers 6, Tigers 5 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers failed to hold a 5-1 lead and lost to the Rangers, 6-5, in 11 innings for their 18th straight defeat. Bill Freehan drove in two of the Tigers' runs with a homer and single before the Rangers rallied to tie the score in the eighth with doubles by Mike Hargrove and Jim Spencer, a single by Toby Harrah and homer by Tom Grieve. Dave Moates had homered for the Rangers' initial run in the third. In the 11th, Jim Sundberg beat out an infield hit with one away and Moates singled. After Cesar Tovar came in to run for Sundberg, Lenny Randle forced Moates at second but Gene Michael threw wildly to first attempting to complete the double play, and Tovar scored on the error to doom the Tigers to defeat.

Twins 5, Brewers 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Back-to-back homers by Steve Braun and Danny Thompson in the sixth inning and a two-run blow by Phil Roof in the eighth powered the Twins to a 5-2 victory over the Brewers. Darrell Porter hit two homers to account for the Brewers' runs.

Yankees 3, A's 1 at Oakland (night game):
Catfish Hunter beat his former Oakland teammates for the third straight time this season, allowing only three hits while pitching the Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Athletics. The Yankees scored in the first inning on singles by Sandy Alomar and Roy White and a sacrifice fly by Thurman Munson before the A's picked up their lone run in the second with a single by Reggie Jackson, an infield out and two wild pitches. The Yankees broke the tie with their remaining pair in the third. Fred Stanley singled and took third when Bobby Bonds was safe on an error. Bonds stole second. Alomar laid down a squeeze bunt sacrifice to score Stanley, then White hit a sacrifice fly to send Bonds home with the final tally.

Braves 4, Pirates 3 at Atlanta (night game):
A bad-hop single by Mike Lum capped a two-run rally in the seventh inning and brought the Braves a 4-3 victory over the Pirates. Ralph Garr led off with a double, went to third on a single by Rob Belloir and scored the tying run on an infield out by Darrell Evans. Belloir reached third on another infield out by Dusty Baker and then scored the winning run when Lum hit a grounder that took a bad hop over the head of first baseman Bob Robertson.

Cardinals 4, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
An infield hit by Luis Melendez with the bases loaded in the 11th inning drove in the Cardinals' winning run and Bob Gibson struck out three straight batters in a relief role to preserve a 4-3 victory over the Astros. The Cards were forced into overtime when Doug Rader tied the score with a two-run homer in the ninth. With two out in the 11th, the Redbirds loaded the bases against Mike Cosgrove with singles by Ted Sizemore and Ken Reitz and a pass to Mike Tyson. Melendez then topped the ball down the third base line for the hit that scored Sizemore.

Giants 4, Expos 3 at Montreal (night game):
Gary Matthews walked in the 12th inning and with two out raced home from first base on a double by Willie Montanez to give the Giants a 4-3 victory over the Expos. The first 10 innings of the game were scoreless in a duel between Dan Warthen and John Montefusco. Warthen, who had allowed only one hit, folded in the 11th and gave up a pass to Bobby Murcer and a homer by Matthews. After Chris Speier singled, Don DeMola relieved. Speier stole second and scored on a single by Bruce Miller. The Expos came back to tie the score in their half with a walk to Gary Carter, single by Larry Biittner, double by Larry Parrish and triple by Pete Mackanin.

Padres 8, Mets 5 at New York (night game):
A homer by Bobby Tolan with two men on base climaxed a five-run rally in the eighth inning and enabled the Padres to defeat the Mets, 8-5. The Padres, who had a homer by Mike Ivie in the fourth, trailed, 4-2, before they began their comeback in the eighth with a run on a walk to Tito Fuentes and double by Gene Locklear. After a pass to Dave Winfield, Ivie singled, driving in Locklear. Tolan then smashed his homer for the Padres' winning blow.

Dodgers 5, Phillies 4 at Philadelphia (night game):
A homer by Steve Garvey and double and triple by Lee Lacy were the Dodgers' big blows in a 5-4 victory over Phillies. The Dodgers teed off on Steve Carlton for four runs in the third inning. Davey Lopes doubled and scored the first run on Lacy's two-bagger. Jim Wynn got new life at the plate when Dick Allen dropped his pop foul and walked. Garvey then smashed a three-run homer. As events turned out, the Dodgers needed another run to win and they got it in the fifth when Lacy hit his triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Wynn. The Phillies rallied for three runs in their half of the fifth, getting doubles by Mike Schmidt, Tony Taylor and Dave Cash. Another rally in the ninth produced an unearned run before Mike Marshall retired Larry Bowa with the bases loaded to save the game for Burt Hooton.
