Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 5, White Sox 1 at Cleveland (night game):
Rookie Dennis Eckersley held the White Sox hitless until the seventh and got home-run backing from Frank Robinson and Charlie Spikes as the Indians defeated Chicago, 5-1. Cleveland scored an unearned run in the second and moved ahead, 2-0, in the fifth when Buddy Bell doubled home Duane Kuiper. Robinson hit a two-run homer and Spikes followed with a solo shot in the eighth. A walk, passed ball and single by Bill Melton accounted for the Sox' only run in the seventh as Eckersley became the first Indian pitcher to win 10 games this season.

Twins 6, Brewers 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
Dave McKay's two-run homer in the second, added to two RBIs by Lyman Bostock, propelled the Twins past the Brewers, 6-3. Bill Butler, relieving starter Joe Decker in the fourth with the bases loaded and none out, checked Milwaukee the rest of the way on two hits, handling the Brewers their ninth defeat in the last 10 games. The Twins added an unearned run following McKay's homer in the second. Rod Carew singled home Bostock, who had doubled, in the fourth, and Bostock singled in the final two runs in the fifth. Bill Sharp drove in all the losers' runs with an infield out in the second and two-run single in the the fourth.

Rangers 1, Tigers 0 at Texas (night game):
Designated hitter Tom Grieve singled home the game's only run in the second as the Rangers' Jim Umbarger outdueled the Tigers' Ray Bare, 1-0. Grieve's RBI hit followed a single by Jim Spencer and walk to Toby Harrah. Umbarger, making only his fifth start of the season, worked out of jams in the last three innings to preserve the shutout victory.

Reds 11, Cubs 4 at Chicago (day game):
Darrel Chaney, batting .212, gave the Reds a boost with his first homer of the season, a three-run blast in the fifth, and drove in a fourth run with a single as Cincinnati toppled the Cubs, 11-4. Tony Perez drove in the 1,000th run of his career with a third-inning single. Six of the winners' 19 hits were doubles. Bill Madlock and Jerry Morales homered for the Cubs, who kayoed winner Fred Norman in a three-run sixth. Clay Carroll hurled runless relief over the final three frames.

Phillies 4, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Greg Luzinski singled home tallies in the first and fifth innings, and Mike Schmidt led off the second with his 31st homer as the Phillies defeated the Dodgers, 4-2, and remained three games behind the Pirates in the N. L. East. Singles by Larry Bowa and Jay Johnstone and a sacrifice fly by Dick Allen accounted for the final Philadelphia run in the seventh. The Dodgers scored once in the fifth on John Hale's double and two infield outs. Steve Garvey doubled home the second L. A. run in the sixth.

Pirates 4, Braves 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Jim Rooker tossed his first shutout of the season, stopping the Braves on three hits as the Pirates claimed their sixth victory in the last seven games, 4-0. Willie Stargell singled home two runs for the Bucs, plating Rennie Stennett in the first and Craig Reynolds in the third after Stennett had walked, moved to third on Reynolds' single and scored on Al Oliver's groundout. Richie Hebner's single, two errors by the Braves and a base hit by Stennett got the final run across in the fourth.

Mets 4, Padres 0 at San Diego (night game):
The Mets' Hank Webb hurled his first career shutout, stopping the Padres on five hits, 4-0. Jerry Grote tripled home Dave Kingman, who had doubled, with New York's first run in the second inning.

Astros 3, Cardinals 3 at St. Louis (night game):
Cliff Johnson's homer in the 11th gave the Astros a 4-3 lead, but rain in the bottom of the frame caused the game to be called, with the score reverting to the 10th, giving the Cardinals a 3-3 tie. Lou Brock's single and stolen base and a double by Bake McBride gave St. Louis the tying run in the 10th, after Houston had taken a 3-2 lead in the top of the inning on Ken Boswell's sacrifice fly. The Astros forced extra innings by tagging Cards' ace reliever Al Hrabosky for the tying run in the top of the ninth.
