Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 4, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (night game):
Switch-hitting Ken Henderson homered from each side of the plate, accomplishing that feat for first time in his major league career, and Deron Johnson and Bob Coluccio also hit for the circuit to power the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Orioles. Batting righthanded, Henderson ripped his first homer of the game off Ross Grimsley in the first inning. Johnson, who was the next batter, followed with a round-tripper. Coluccio added his circuit clout in the second. Henderson, swinging lefthanded, then capped the White Sox scoring with a homer off Wayne Garland in the eighth. Paul Blair had a round-tripper for the Orioles off Jim Kaat, who gained his 19th victory with the assistance of Rich Gossage.

Red Sox 6, A's 1 at Boston (night game):
Cecil Cooper, batting in the leadoff spot as the Red Sox' designated hitter, smashed a homer, two doubles and a single to support the pitching of Rick Wise, who defeated the Athletics, 6-1, for his 17th victory, matching his previous major league high.

Indians 9, Twins 6 at Cleveland (night game):
The first grand slam of Rick Manning's major league career enabled the Indians to defeat the Twins, 9-6. The Indians were leading, 5-4, when a single by Alan Ashby, double by Frank Duffy and intentional pass to pinch-hitter Frank Robinson loaded the bases in the eighth inning for Manning's homer off Vic Albury. The blow proved decisive because the Twins rallied for two runs in the ninth before Bob Reynolds retired the last two batters to save the game.

Angels 8, Tigers 1 at Detroit (night game):
Frank Tanana struck out nine, raising his season's total to 206, while pitching the Angels to an 8-1 victory over the Tigers. John Balaz batted in two of the Angels' runs with a double in the fourth inning and Dave Collins accounted for two more with a homer in the eighth.

Yankees 6, Royals 5 at New York (night game):
With the bases loaded in the 10th inning, Thurman Munson beat the throw home on a grounder by Walt Williams to give the Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Royals. The winning rally started with one out when Munson singled and took third on another single by Graig Nettles. After an intentional pass to Chris Chambliss, Williams batted for Ed Herrmann and hit a grounder to Cookie Rojas, who made an off-balance throw that was wide of the plate as Munson slid across with the winning run.

Brewers 13, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
Winning for only the second time in their last 12 games, the Brewers pounded out 16 hits and defeated the Rangers, 13-1, behind the five-hit hurling of Jim Colborn. The game was close with the Brewers holding a lead of only 3-1 before they put across four unearned runs on only two singles plus an error, hit batsman, passed ball and two walks in the seventh inning. A six-run outburst in the ninth made it a rout.

Cubs 8, Braves 3 at Chicago (day game):
The Cubs took advantage of an obstruction call on Carl Morton to score four unearned runs in the third inning, leading to an 8-3 victory over the Braves. With one out, Rick Monday singled and Bill Madlock doubled. Monday was tagged out in a rundown on a grounder by Jose Cardenal, but Morton impeded his progress. Monday was allowed to score. Madlock took third and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Morales. Andre Thornton then capped the inning with a homer. The Cubs, who snapped a five-game losing streak, added three runs in the fifth on a homer by Cardenal, triple by Thornton, single by Rob Sperring and double by Steve Swisher.

Reds 6, Cardinals 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Cesar Geronimo, who had gone hitless against St. Louis pitching in five previous games, smashed a homer with two men on base in the fourth inning to pace the Reds to a 6-2 victory over the Cardinals. Geronimo's drive followed singles by Tony Perez and George Foster.

Mets 6, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Mets expoded for six runs in the first inning, three scoring on a homer by Dave Kingman, and that was more than Jon Matlack needed to defeat the Dodgers, 6-1. Kingman's clout completed a cycle for the Mets' slugger, who had hit for the circuit in every N. L. park this season. Matlack, who gained his career high 16th victory, surprised himself at bat with two hits, one of them driving in two runs. The Dodgers averted a shutout with a homer by Lee Lacy in the ninth inning.

Expos 4, Padres 0 at San Diego (night game):
Don Carrithers, who was on the disabled list for five weeks after coming to the Expos from Memphis (International) in June, posted his second shutout and second victory, defeating the Padres, 4-0. Mike Jorgensen started the Expos' scoring with a homer in the fourth inning.

Phillies 3, Giants 1 at San Francisco (night game):
Making first start since pitching a no-hitter, Ed Halicki had his spell broken by the Phillies, who defeated the Giants, 3-1. Tommy Hutton singled with one out in the second inning forthe first hit off Halicki, who had posted his gem against the Mets August 24. However, the Phillies did not score against the 6-7 righthander until the sixth when Garry Maddox was safe on an error, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Larry Bowa. The Giants tied the score with a triple by Chris Speier and single by Dave Rader in the seventh. Halicki walked Johnny Oates with one away in the eighth and fanned Tim McCarver for his 12th strikeout of the game, but Dave Cash doubled to drive in Oates with the tie-breaking run.
