Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 8, Red Sox 2 at Boston (night game):
Luis Tiant's parents from Cuba were in the stands to watch their son pitch for the first time in the major leagues, but the Angels ruined the occasion by knocking out the veteran righthander and defeating the Red Sox, 8-2. With the score tied, 2-2, the Angels loaded the bases in the seventh inning on two walks around a single by Dave Chalk. Andy Etchebarren, who had hit a homer in the fifth, singled to drive in two runs and Mike Miley followed with a single for a third run that drove Tiant from the box.

[DH] Royals 4, Orioles 3 (night game) / Orioles 3, Royals 2 at Kansas City (night game):
Jim Palmer's bid for his 20th victory of the season was turned back by the Royals, 4-3, in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Orioles won the second game, 3-2. Hal McRae singled with two out in the sixth inning and George Brett doubled to produce the run that beat Palmer. In the nightcap, Mark Belanger, who had homered in the fifth inning, bunted into a forceout in the eighth, took third on a single by Al Bumbry and scored the Orioles' winning run on a wild pickoff attempt by Steve Busby.

Twins 2, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
Dave Goltz scattered seven hits and pitched the Twins to a 2-1 victory over the Brewers, who suffered their 10th defeat in the last 11 games. A single by Don Money and double by Mike Hegan in the ninth inning saved the Brewers from Being shutout. The Twins, winning for the 13th time in their last 17 games, picked up their initial run in the fourth when Dan Ford singled, stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by Darrell Porter and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Dave McKay. The deciding run followed in the sixth on a walk to Johnny Briggs, wild pitch by Pete Broberg, infield out by Ford and single by Steve Braun.

Yankees 7, A's 1 at New York (night game):
Beating his former teammates for the fourth straight time this season, Catfish Hunter pitched the Yankees to a 7-1 victory over the Athletics. In their four meetings, Hunter limited the A's to a total of three runs on 16 hits, all singles, with seven coming in his latest victory. The A's scored in the second inning on singles by Claudell Washington, Billy Williams and Jim Holt. Thurman Munson and Roy White rapped four hits apiece in the Yankees' attack.

Rangers 3, Tigers 2 at Texas (night game):
A run-scoring single by Dave Moates in the 10th inning gave the Rangers a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. Lenny Randle led off with a single and Mike Cubbage sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Mike Hargrove, Jeff Burroughs walked to load the bases before Moates rapped his winning hit.

Reds 6, Cubs 5 at Chicago (day game):
With two out in the ninth inning, the Reds suddenly rallied for two runs to defeat the Cubs, 6-5. Pinch-hitter Terry Crowley sparked the outburst with a single and gave way on the paths to Dave Concepcion, who stole second. A walk to Pete Rose and infield hit by Ken Griffey then loaded the bases and brought up Joe Morgan, who smashed a single off first baseman Andre Thornton's glove to drive in the Reds' tying and winning runs. Earlier scoring included back-to-back homers by Jerry Morales and Thornton for the Cubs in the first inning and Johnny Bench's 25th homer of the season for the Reds in the sixth.

Dodgers 8, Phillies 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Doug Rau yielded only three hits and pitched the Dodgers to an 8-1 victory over the Phillies. The only run off the lefthander scored in the first inning on a double by Dave Cash, a sacrifice and infield out. The Dodgers, after tying the score in their half, went ahead with two runs in the third on a wild pitch by Tom Underwood and error by Dick Allen, each with the bases loaded. Underwood was lifted after Jim Wynn walked and Steve Garvey singled in the fifth. Ron Cey socked reliever Wayne Twitchell's first pitch for a three-run homer. John Hale knocked in the other two runs with a double in the seventh.

Pirates 8, Braves 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The first eight batters hit safely as Pthe irates scored six runs in the first inning on their way to an 8-2 victory over the Braves. Frank Taveras led off with a triple and Rennie Stennett, Al Oliver, Willie Stargell and Richie Zisk followed with singles to kayo Jamie Easterly.

Mets 7, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
A winner for the first time since July 25, after losing four in a row, Randy Tate pitched the Mets to a 7-2 victory over the Padres. The complete game was only his second of the season.

Jerry Grote iced the verdict in the seventh, driving in two runs with a triple.

Giants 4, Expos 3 at San Francisco (night game):
After striking out in three previous times at bat, Gary Thomasson smashed a homer in the eighth inning to lift the Giants to a 4-3 victory over the Expos.

[DH] Cardinals 10, Astros 9 (night game) / Cardinals 2, Astros 1 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals, who staged a remarkable comeback to win the first game of a twi-night doubleheader 10-9, in 12 innings, also defeated the Astros in the second game, 2-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Eric Rasmussen, who also drove in the deciding run. The Astros built up an 8-1 lead in the lidlifter before the Cardinals rallied for six runs in the seventh inning, including a triple by Hector Cruz with the bases loaded. The Astros filled the sacks in the eighth, but scored only one run on a sacrifice fly by Greg Gross. The Cardinals then tied the score in their half on a single by Ted Simmons, double by Reggie Smith, infield out by Ron Fairly and single by Mike Tyson. In the 12th, Bake McBride singled and Al Hrabosky sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Simmons, Smith singled to drive in the winning run. In the nightcap, doubles by Jose Cruz and Enos Cabell produced the Astros' run in the second inning. The Cardinals bounced back with their pair in the home half.
