Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Red Sox 7, Tigers 4 (night game) / Tigers 5, Red Sox 3 at Boston (night game):
A pair of three-run innings enabled the Red Sox to win the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 7-4, but Willie Horton hit a homer with a man on base in the second game to bat the Tigers to a 5-3 victory. The Red Sox, who snapped a three-game losing streak, racked up three runs in the fourth inning of the opener on a double by Fred Lynn, single by Carlton Fisk and homer by Rico Petrocelli. Three more followed in the fifth. Denny Doyle singled, stole second and scored on a single by Carl Yastrzemski. After a double by Lynn and walk to Jim Rice loaded the bases, Fisk walked to force Yastrzemski home and Dwight Evans brought in Lynn with a sacrifice fly. In the nightcap, the Red Sox took the lead with a two-run homer by Bob Montgomery in the third inning. The Tigers picked up the tying pair in the seventh but fell behind again, 3-2, before Dan Meyer singled in the eighth and Horton homered for the deciding blow.

Angels 4, White Sox 2 at Chicago (night game):
Frank Tanana struck out nine, increasing his season's total to 237, and did not issue a pass while allowing only three hits and pitching the Angels to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox. Dave Chalk started the Angels' scoring with a homer in the second inning. Three singles and a double by Dave Collins produced a pair in the fourth before Jim Kaat went out of the game after yielding the Angels' last tally on three singles in the fifth. Lamar Johnson hit his first major league homer for the White Sox in their half of the fifth and Bill Melton added a round-tripper in the ninth.

[DH] Indians 7, Orioles 1 (night game) / Orioles 6, Indians 5 at Cleveland (night game):
The Indians, after defeating the Orioles, 7-1, in the opener of a doubleheader for their seventh straight victory, were stopped on their streak when they lost the nightcap, 6-5, in 13 innings. The Indians decided the lidlifter in the first inning, scoring two runs on a single by Duane Kuiper, triple by Frank Duffy and single by Rico Carty. Dennis Eckersley gained his 12th victory with help from Dave LaRoche, who relieved in the eighth. The Orioles decided the second game in the 13th when Ken Singleton doubled and, after an intentional pass to Don Baylor, Bobby Grich singled, scoring Singleton. Baylor also crossed the plate on a wild throw by Rick Manning from center field and that run proved conclusive when the Indians counted once in their half of the 13th.

Rangers 9, Twins 4 at Minnesota (night game):
Backed by four homers, Gaylord Perry pitched the Rangers to a 9-4 victory over the Twins. Toby Harrah, Jeff Burroughs and Tom Grieve each connected with the bases empty, but two men were aboard when Jim Fregosi hit for the circuit in the ninth to clinch the Rangers' victory. Twins' scoring included a two-run homer by Danny Thompson.

Yankees 8, Brewers 2 at New York (night game):
Rick Bladt batted in three runs and Sandy Alomar and Bobby Bonds drove in two apiece as the Yankees defeated the Brewers, 8-2. Alomar accounted for his RBIs with a homer in the first inning. Bladt sent one run home with a forceout in the second and Bonds batted in two with a double. Bladt doubled with the bases loaded in the third and Fred Stanley produced the Yankees' last run with a sacrifice fly. Bobby Darwin and Sixto Lezcano homered for the Brewers.

A's 9, Royals 1 at Oakland (night game):
A three-run homer by Sal Bando and two-run drive by Gene Tenace helped power the Athletics to a 9-1 victory over the Royals, who dropped all three games in the series and fell eight lengths behind the A's in the West Division race. Bando connected for the circuit after singles by Phil Garner and Bill North in the third inning. Tenace's homer followed a pass to Reggie Jackson in the sixth. Denny Walling doubled for his first major league hit with the A's in the eighth and drove in two runs for his first RBIs.

Cubs 7, Cardinals 5 at Chicago (day game):
Joe Wallis, rookie outfielder from St. Louis, turned on his hometown club with a pair of triples to pace the Cubs to a 7-5 victory over the Cardinals. Wallis' first triple, singles by Champ Summers and Jose Cardenal and an error by Reggie Smith on a throw to the plate produced two runs in the first inning. The Cubs then erupted for four more in the third on a single by Don Kessinger, Wallis' second triple, another single by Cardenal and homer by Andre Thornton. Ken Reitz and Keith Hernandez hit homers for the Cardinals, Hernandez' blow coming as a pinch-hitter with two men on base in the fourth inning. The defeat knocked the third-place Cardinals 7½ games behind the Pirates.

Dodgers 3, Reds 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
A single by Steve Yeager in the ninth inning, sacrifice by Bill Russell and pinch-double by Leron Lee brought Burt Hooton his 10th straight victory as the Dodgers defeated the Reds, 3-2. Willie Crawford and Ron Cey each drove in a run for the Dodgers before the Reds tied the score in the eighth when Tony Perez singled with the bases loaded. When Lee won the game as a pinch-hitter for Hooton in the ninth, the RBI was his first of the season.

Phillies 5, Expos 1 at Montreal (night game):
Greg Luzinski, who had been in a slugging slump, hit his first homer since August 17, driving in two runs in the first inning, to start the Phillies off to a 5-1 victory over the Expos. By winning, the second-place Phillies remained six games behind the Pirates in East Division competition. Luzinski's homer, his 32nd of the year, followed a single by Garry Maddox and pinned the defeat on Steve Renko. Wayne Simpson pitched six innings and gained his first victory with the Phillies. Gene Garber finished.

Pirates 8, Mets 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Led by Richie Zisk, who batted in four runs, the Pirates defeated the Mets, 8-4, and snapped Tom Seaver's personal seven-game winning streak. As a result of the loss, the fourth-place Mets fell 10 games behind the Pirates in the East Division race. The Pirates snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning when Al Oliver doubled and Zisk singled. Art Howe added a run with a homer in the fifth. The Pirates then chased Seaver in the sixth when Oliver walked, Rennie Stennett singled and Zisk hit for the circuit. Manny Sanguillen added two runs with a homer off Tom Hall in the eighth. Dave Kingman hit homers for the Mets in the second and ninth innings.

Padres 2, Braves 1 at San Diego (night game):
Although pitching a two-hitter, Randy Jones appeared stymied in a bid for his 19th victory until the Padres scored two unearned runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Braves, 2-1. Larvell Blanks and Ralph Garr singled in the seventh inning for the only hits off Jones. After a pass to Marty Perez, Earl Williams lofted a sacrifice fly to produce the Braves' run. The Padres then posted their pair without the benefit of a hit in the eighth. Hector Torres was safe on an error by Rob Belloir and Bobby Tolan sacrificed. Willie McCovey grounded out. With Dave Winfield at bat, Torres reached third on a passed ball. Winfield walked and stole second. Gene Locklear, batting for Dave Roberts, hit a grounder to Perez, who let the ball squirt through his legs, allowing both Torres and Winfield to score.

Astros 6, Giants 3 at San Francisco (night game):
Mike Cosgrove, making his second start of the season, turned in his first complete game and pitched the Astros to a 6-3 victory over the Giants. The lefthander's first start came September 5 against the Padres in a game that J.R. Richard won in relief.
