Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 3, White Sox 0 at California (night game):
Pinch-hitter Adrian Garrett ended a 16-inning marathon with a three-run homer, giving the Angels a 3-0 triumph over the White Sox. Don Kirkwood, in relief of Frank Tanana, who fanned 13 in a like number of innings to raise his league-leading total to 265, got the victory. Jim Kaat shut out California through the first 8 1/3 innings before giving way to Rich Gossage.

Indians 7, Brewers 6 at Cleveland (night game):
Pinch-hitter Oscar Gamble singled home the tying and winning runs with one out in the ninth, giving the Indians a 7-6 decision over the Brewers. Milwaukee had taken a 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth on George Scott's second homer of the game. Charlie Spikes and George Hendrick hit back-to-back homers in the sixth to help the Tribe open up a 5-2 lead. The Brewers tallied three to tie in the eighth on doubles by Robin Yount and Scott and singles by Don Money and Bill Sharp.

Royals 2, Rangers 1 at Kansas City (night game):
Cookie Rojas' sacrifice fly scored pinch-runner Jim Wohlford with the deciding run in the eighth as the Royals edged the Rangers, 2-1, behind the eight-hit hurling of Al Fitzmorris. Tony Solaita's one-out double had driven home the tying run earlier in the inning. Wohlford, running for Solaita, moved to third on Al Cowens' single before Rojas decided the outcome.

Red Sox 6, Yankees 4 at New York (night game):
The Red Sox stretched their lead over the idle Orioles to four games with a 6-4 victory over the Yankees. Boston took the lead with a three-run rally in the sixth. Denny Doyle, who drove in three of the winners' runs, got a bad-hop single to right which plated two after rookie Fred Lynn's record-setting 46th double drove across the tying run. Doyle singled home another run in the eighth and Deron Johnson did likewise in the ninth. Thurman Munson hit a two-run homer for the Yankees in the first.

Twins 2, A's 1 at Oakland (night game):
Ken Holtzman allowed only three hits, but an unearned run in the fourth tagged him and the A's with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Twins. Rod Carew, aboard with a single and stolen base, scored on Dan Ford's single. A bad throw by outfielder Bill North advanced Ford to third. He scored the deciding run on Larry Hisle's sacrifice fly. Sal Bando singled home Oakland's only run off winner Eddie Bane in the sixth.

Astros 5, Reds 1 at Houston (night game):
Cesar Cedeno's three-run homer in the first and two-run blast by Cliff Johnson in the seventh accounted for all of the Astros' scoring in a 5-1 triumph over the Reds. Cincinnati's only run off winner Joe Niekro came in the ninth. Reliever Paul Siebert took over with the bases loaded and squelched the Cincinnati rally.

[DH] Cardinals 6, Expos 4 (night game) / Expos 8, Cardinals 5 at Montreal (night game):
Ted Simmons' two-run homer in the 12th inning boosted the Cardinals to a 6-4 triumph in the first game, but the Expos, after blowing a first-inning, 3-0 lead in the second contest, rallied with two runs in the sixth and three in the seventh to gain a split with an 8-5 decision in the nightcap. The Cards likewise wasted a 3-0 lead in the opener, needing a bases-loaded error by first baseman Nate Colbert to tie the score at 4-4 in the ninth. Simmons also homered in the second game, giving St. Louis a 4-3 lead in the fifth with a two-run blast. But Jim Lyttle singled home two runs in the sixth and Montreal tacked on three insurance runs in the seventh.

Pirates 11, Phillies 3 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates clinched their fifth N. L. East title in six years with an 11-3 victory over the Phillies, the only remaining club with a mathematical chance to catch the front-runners. With Richie Zisk and Dave Parker each driving in four runs while Willie Stargell scored four, Pittsburgh put the game away with a five-run eighth, all runs scoring after two were out. Parker hit a two-run homer in that frame, boosting his RBI total to 101. The Pirates held a 4-1 lead entering the seventh, but Dave Cash doubled home two runs for the Phils before the division champs opened up some daylight with two runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh on RBI singles by Zisk and Parker.

Padres 6, Dodgers 5 at San Diego (night game):
Hector Torres, a late-inning replacement at second base, homered off reliever Dave Sells in the 11th to give the Padres a 6-5 nod over the Dodgers. San Diego tied the score in the ninth on a run-scoring wild pitch by reliever Charlie Hough. Los Angeles had taken a 5-3 lead in the seventh on an RBI double by Lee Lacy, sacrifice fly by Steve Garvey and run-scoring single by Ron Cey. Padre reliever Butch Metzger snuffed out the final Dodger threat in the top of the 11th by fanning Cey and then getting Henry Cruz on a pop-up with the bases loaded.
