Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 4, White Sox 2 at Baltimore (night game):
Jim Palmer became the first 20-game winner in the major leagues this season when the Orioles defeated the White Sox, 4-2. Palmer entered the charmed circle for the fifth time in his career, coming back from a 7-12 record in 1974 when arm trouble plagued his efforts. Jorge Orta and Pete Varney homered for the White Sox runs. The Orioles picked up a tally in the seventh inning on a double by Brooks Robinson and single by Al Bumbry. The Orioles then loaded the bases in the eighth and Robinson singled to drive in two runs. A sacrifice bunt by Mark Belanger plated a third run to clinch Palmer's victory.

A's 7, Red Sox 6 at Boston (night game):
With two out in the 10th inning, Claudell Washington walked, stole second and scored on a single by Sal Bando to give the Athletics a 7-6 victory over the Red Sox. Reggie Jackson homered for the A's with a man on base and Washington drove in two runs with a single, while the Red Sox had a two-run homer by Carl Yastrzemski, plus two RBIs by Fred Lynn on a pair of singles, in early scoring that produced a 6-6 tie.

Tigers 9, Angels 2 at Detroit (day game):
Ray Bare, who snapped the Tigers' 19-game losing streak with an 8-0 victory over the Angels August 16, terminated another string of five losses by defeating the Angels again, 9-2. The Tigers made it easy for Bare by exploding for their biggest inning of the season, scoring eight times in the fourth. Aurelio Rodriguez and Billy Baldwin each homered with two men on base. Bare lost his bid for a second shutout of the Angels when Bruce Bochte hit for the circuit with a man on base in the ninth.

Royals 5, Yankees 2 at New York (night game):
After a shaky start, Dennis Leonard settled down and outpitched Catfish Hunter to enable the Royals to defeat the Yankees, 5-2. Leonard gave up four hits and both Yankee runs, one unearned, in the first three innings, but the rookie righthander yielded only two more hits the rest of the way. The Royals tied the score in the fourth after loading the bases on a double by Fred Patek and walks to Amos Otis and John Mayberry. Hal McRae bounced to Chris Chambliss, who bobbled the ball as Patek scored. When Hunter, covering first, mishandled the throw from Chambliss, Otis also crossed the plate. In the fifth, Patek singled, Otis walked and George Brett singled for the tie-breaking run. Mayberry followed with a single and when Roy White overran the ball in the outfield, Otis raced home on the error.

Rangers 8, Brewers 3 at Texas (night game):
Jim Umbarger, who turned in the first complete game of his major league career and beat the Tigers, 1-0, August 25, had easier sailing with his second route-going performance when the Rangers rapped 12 hits and defeated the Brewers, 8-3. Mike Hargrove batted in two runs with a homer and Jeff Burroughs accounted for two RBIs with a single and sacrifice fly. Pedro Garcia rapped a two-run homer for the Brewers in the third inning and scored their third run after hitting a double in the eighth.

Reds 3, Cardinals 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Capitalizing on a wild pickoff throw by Mike Garman, the Reds scored in the 10th inning and defeated the Cardinals, 3-2. Ken Griffey beat out an infield hit with one away and raced to third on Garman's wild throw. The Cards then issued intentional passes to Joe Morgan and Tony Perez, but Johnny Bench hit a slow roller that allowed Grfffey to score the winning run. Ted Sizemore, who fielded the ball, had no chance for a play at the plate and instead threw out Bench at first. Ted Simmons knocked in both of the Cardinals' runs with a homer and single. Perez hit a single and double to produce the Reds' first pair.

Dodgers 7, Mets 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Andy Messersmith pitched his first shutout of the season and Ron Cey drove in four runs with two homers to escort the Dodgers to a 7-0 victory over the Mets. Cey connected with two men on base in the first inning and added solo shot in the fourth to give him 20 homers for the season, one more than his previous major league high.

Astros 7, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Cesar Cedeno smashed two homers and Bob Watson hit one, each drive coming with a man on base, to power the Astros to a 7-4 victory over the Pirates in the opener of a scheduled twi-night doubleheader. The second game was postponed because of rain. Cedeno started his slugging with a smash in the third inning. The Pirates came back with three in their half on a bases-loaded double by Willie Stargell, but the Astros erupted for five runs in the fifth. Wilbur Howard singled, stole second and counted on a single by Enos Cabell before Cedeno hit his second homer of the game. After a single by Cliff Johnson kayoed Jerry Reuss, Watson greeted Kent Tekulve with a round-tripper. Richie Hebner homered for the Pirates in their half of the fifth.

Expos 5, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Steve Renko, who had not been in the winner's column since July 4, ended his personal string of four defeats by pitching the Expos to a 5-1 victory over the Padres. A walk to Pepe Mangual, a stolen base and singles by Gary Carter, Jose Morales and Larry Parrish gave the Expos two runs int he first inning. Renko had control trouble in the Padres' half, passing three and yielding a run on a sacrifice fly by Dave Winfield. However, he settled down and stifled the Padres the rest of the way on three hits. Renko also aided his own cause with a run-scoring single in the second inning.

Giants 4, Phillies 1 at San Francisco (day game):
Pete Falcone yielded only four hits and no runs before being lifted in the eighth inning as the Giants defeated the Phillies, 4-1. After walking Larry Bowa in the eighth, Falcone gave way to Randy Moffitt, who allowed the Phillies' run in the ninth on a double by Garry Maddox and single by Tim McCarver. The Giants reached Tom Underwood for their initial tally in the third on a double by Derrel Thomas and single by Gary Matthews. A double by Chris Speier, an infield out and sacrifice fly by Mike Sadek added a run in the fourth before the Giants put the game out of reach with a pair in the seventh.
