Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 5, Red Sox 2 at Boston (day game):
Although defeated by the Indians, 5-2, the Red Sox backed into the East Division title when the Orioles lost both games of their doubleheader with the Yankees. The Red Sox were held to just six hits by Rick Waits with their two runs coming in the fourth inning when Deron Johnson homered to tie the score. The Indians regained the lead in the seventh on singles by Frank Duffy and John Lowenstein and a groundout by Duane Kuiper. Boog Powell and Charlie Spikes then iced the outcome with successive homers in the eighth, one off loser Rick Wise and the other off reliever Bill Lee.

Brewers 5, Tigers 2 at Milwaukee (day game):
Jerry Augustine, Brewers' rookie lefthander from Sacramento (Pacific Coast), gained his second straight victory, pitching the route to defeat the Tigers, 5-2. The Brewers broke a 2-2 tie with two runs in the sixth inning. Bob Sheldon singled and Robin Yount walked. George Scott grounded to Chuck Scrivener, who tried for a forceout at second, but Jerry Manuel dropped the ball, allowing Sheldon to score. After an intentional pass to Darrell Porter, Bobby Darwin singled to drive in Yount.

White Sox 1, Twins 0 at Minnesota (day game):
Rich Gossage allowed only two hits in five innings of relief and came out with a victory when the White Sox defeated the Twins, 1-0. Gossage replaced Claude Osteen with two men on base and none out in the fifth. Bert Blyleven was beaten by a run in the eighth. Brian Downing led off with a single. Pat Kelly walked. When Nyls Nyman flied out, Downing advanced to third after the catch. Jerry Hairston then hit a sacrifice fly to score Downing.

[DH] Yankees 3, Orioles 2 (day game) / Yankees 7, Orioles 3 at New York (day game):
The Yankees knocked the Orioles out of the East Division race by sweeping a doubleheader, 3-2 and 7-3, to give the title to the Red Sox. The first game was decided in 10 innings. Two of the Yankees' runs in the opener, including their winning marker, were forced home on passes with the bases loaded. Catfish Hunter gained his 23rd victory in the lidlifter and became the first pitcher since Bob Feller in 1946 to turn in 30 complete games in one season. He also struck out 12, matching his career high. The Orioles nicked Hunter for a run in the first inning on a double by Bobby Grich and single by Lee May, but Bobby Bonds led off the Yankees' half with a tying homer. Chris Chambliss doubled in the second and, after two walks loaded the bases, Bonds drew a pass from Mike Torrez to force in the run that sent the Yankees ahead. Brooks Robinson then tied the score with a homer in the seventh. However in the 10th, Chambliss singled and Graig Nettles walked, bringing Grant Jackson to the mound for the Orioles. Terry Whitfield, trying to sacrifice, beat out a bunt to load the bases. Dyar Miller came in to face Rick Dempsey and walked the pinch-hitter on a 3-2 count to force in the Yankees' winning run. Doc Medich hurled the route for the Yankees in the nightcap and beat Mike Cuellar. The Orioles took a 3-1 lead in the sixth on a bases-loaded single by Jim Northrup, but the Yankees rose up with a four-run rally in the seventh. Rick Bladt and Fred Stanley singled and Bonds walked to fill the sacks and chase Cuellar. After Paul Mitchell relieved, Sandy Alomar forced Bladt at the plate, but Roy White singled, driving in two runs. Bonds took third on the hit and White moved to second on the throw. Thurman Munson then drove them home with a single. Bonds capped the scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth.

A's 6, Angels 3 at Oakland (day game):
Bill North, Joe Rudi and Gene Tenace smashed homers and Ken Holtzman tuned up for the championship series by allowing only three hits in five innings as the Athletics defeated the Angels, 6-3. North's homer was only his first of the season, but it was No. 21 for Rudi and 29 for Tenace.

Rangers 5, Royals 4 at Texas (night game):
Roy Smalley batted in two runs with a double and Jeff Burroughs accounted for two more with a pair of sacrifice flies to lead the Rangers to a 5-4 victory over the Royals. Smalley hit his double with the bases loaded in the second inning. Roy Howell drove in another run with a single in the third. Burroughs' sacrifice flies then produced the Rangers' final tallies in the fourth and the sixth. John Mayberry and Frank White hit homers for the Royals.

Expos 5, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
A two-run triple by Larry Biittner in the 11th inning propelled the Expos to a 5-3 victory over the Cubs. The Expos had a homer by Mike Jorgensen in their early scoring, while Andre Thornton drove in all three of the Cubs' runs with a double and homer. In the 11th, Jerry White singled and Pete Mackanin walked ahead of Biittner's triple.

Reds 7, Braves 6 at Cincinnati (day game):
Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench drove in three runs apiece as the Reds built up a 7-1 lead that enabled the West Division champions to emerge with a 7-6 victory over the Braves. Morgan accounted for his RBIs with a single and homer, while Bench hit a sacrifice fly and homer. The Braves rallied for five runs in the ninth inning, three scoring on a homer by Earl Williams, before Pat Darcy saved the game after taking over in relief with two men on base and one out.

Dodgers 5, Astros 1 at Los Angeles (day game):
A grand-slam homer by Steve Yeager in the third inning powered the Dodgers to a 5-1 victory over the Astros. Willie Crawford singled, Steve Garvey walked, Ron Cey singled and Henry Cruz walked to force in the first run. After Ken Forsch relieved Mike Stanton, Yeager hit his grand slam.

Phillies 8, Mets 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Dave Cash collected two doubles and two singles to lead the Phillies' 12-hit attack in an 8-1 victory over the Mets. Steve Carlton limited the Mets to one hit with their lone run coming on a walk to John Stearns and double by Felix Millan in the sixth inning. By that time, however, the Phillies already had four runs on the scoreboard, two of them crossing the plate on a double by Cash. Tony Taylor bunted safely in the sixth inning for the 1,000th hit of his major league career.

Giants 4, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Rob Dressler, who came up from Phoenix (Pacific Coast) to join the Giants' staff of young pitchers, gained his first major league victory, defeating the Padres, 4-1. Gary Matthews gave Dressler enough runs to win by hitting a homer after a single by Bobby Murcer in the fourth inning.

Pirates 4, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (day game):
Jerry Reuss helped himself to victory with a tie-breaking double in the fifth inning as the Pirates defeated the Cardinals, 4-2. The Pirates opened the game with two runs on a double by Rennie Stennett and homer by Al Oliver. The Cards came back with the tying pair in their half. Luis Melendez singled and scored on a double by Hector Cruz, who took third on the throw to the plate and counted on an infield out by Ted Simmons, whose RBI was his 100th of the season. In the Pirates' fifth, Frank Taveras walked and scored on Reuss' double. Reuss then crossed the plate himself on a single by Stennett.
