Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 3, Tigers 1 at Boston (day game):
After being idle for 11 days with back trouble, Luis Tiant flirted with a no-hitter while pitching the Red Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. The Cuban veteran righthander held the Tigers hitless for 7 2/3 innings before yielding a single by Aurelio Rodriguez. Tom Veryzer doubled in the same stanza. Billy Baldwin then homered in the ninth for the Tigers' third hit. The Red Sox decided the outcome in the second with two runs on a triple by Jim Rice, infield out by Carlton Fisk, singles by Rico Petrocelli and Dwight Evans and a grounder by Rick Burleson.

Orioles 10, Indians 2 at Cleveland (night game):
The league leader in earned run average, Jim Palmer lowered his figure to 2.17 and posted his 21st victory as the Orioles defeated the Indians, 10-2. Ken Singleton and Tony Muser each hit a two-run double for the Orioles and Lee May contributed a homer. The Indians scored their runs on round-trippers by Oscar Gamble and Rico Carty.

Yankees 10, Brewers 2 at New York (night game):
Catfish Hunter's 21st victory was a breeze for the Yankee righthander, who defeated the Brewers, 10-2, and turned in his 28th complete game of the season. Graig Nettles smashed two homers, each with a man on base, and Ed Herrmann connected for the circuit with two aboard as the biggest blows in the Yankees' 17-hit attack.

Cubs 12, Cardinals 6 at Chicago (day game):
The Cubs, continuing in their role of tough customers for East Division contenders, exploded for six runs in the first inning and defeated the Cardinals, 12-6. Starting with Bob Forsch, who was kayoed with two out in the first, the Cardinals used eight pitchers, tying the N. L. record. Manny Trillo and Rick Reuschel each hit bases-loaded singles in the Cubs' initial outburst, driving in two runs apiece. The Cards, who had a homer by Lou Brock in the first, narrowed their deficit with four runs in the fourth, three scoring on a circuit clout by Keith Hernandez. But the Cubs pulled away thereafter, with two of their tallies counting on a triple by Jim Tyrone in the seventh inning.

Dodgers 5, Reds 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Rick Rhoden turned in the first complete game of his major league career and pitched the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory over the Reds with batting support from Steve Garvey, who drove in three runs with a homer and single. Pete Rose homered for one of the Reds' runs.

Phillies 5, Expos 0 at Montreal (night game):
The second-place Phillies pulled within five games of the pace-setting Pirates in the East Division race by defeating the Expos, 5-0, in a contest stopped by rain after 6½ innings. Larry Christenson pitched the shutout, holding the Expos to three hits. The Phillies jumped on Steve Rogers for two runs in the first inning on singles by Dave Cash and Larry Bowa, two wild pitches and a single by Greg Luzinski. A passed ball by Jose Morales and wild pickoff throw by Rogers resulted in another run in the third. After Mike Schmidt's homer, the Phillies tacked on their final marker in the seventh on another passed ball by Morales.

Mets 7, Pirates 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Jerry Koosman pitched a six-hit shutout and Dave Kingman tied the Mets' record for most homers in one season for a 7-0 victory over the Pirates. Kingman's clout in the fifth inning was his 34th of the year, equaling the club mark set by Frank Thomas in 1962. With two out in the second inning, the Mets took advantage of an error by Rennie Stennett to score three unearned runs off Jerry Reuss, one of them on a pass to Felix Millan with the bases loaded. Kingman's homer and another bases-loaded pass to Bud Harrelson made it 5-0 in the fifth. In the sixth, when the Mets added their final pair, Mike Vail singled, hitting safely in his 19th straight game to equal the league's previous longest streak this year by Millan.

Padres 4, Braves 3 at San Diego (night game):
Errors by Larvell Blanks and Tom House in the ninth inning enabled the Padres to defeat the Braves, 4-3. The Padres got off to a 3-0 lead, but the Braves picked up a run in the seventh and tied the score when Dusty Baker homered with a man on base in the eighth. However, in the ninth, Dave Roberts grounded to Blanks and reached second on the shortstop's bad throw. House, the Braves' relief pitcher, then fielded an infield hit by Bob Davis and threw wildly to first to allow Roberts to score the winning run.

Astros 4, Giants 3 at San Francisco (night game):
A two-out single by Rob Andrews in the 12th inning scored Roger Metzger and gave the Astros a 4-3 victory over the Giants. Metzger led off with a pinch-single. After a sacrifice by Skip Jutze, Ken Boswell drew a walk. Wilbur Howard then struck out, but Andrews came through with his single to break the tie.
