Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 11, Red Sox 4 at Boston (day game):
A grand-slam homer by Alan Ashby featured the Indians' 11-4 victory over the Red Sox, who rested all their regulars except platoon outfielder Juan Beniquez. Joe Lis hit a two-run homer for the Indians in the second inning, but the Red Sox were leading, 4-2, before the Tribe exploded for six runs in the fifth. Singles by John Lowenstein and Jack Brohamer, together with a sacrifice fly by Tommy Smith, accounted for the first run. Boog Powell singled and Oscar Gamble and Lis both walked to force in the tying tally before Ashby came to the plate and hit his grand slam off Dick Pole.

Brewers 7, Tigers 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
Fired as manager of the Brewers two hours before the game, Del Crandall was not in uniform to see Larry Anderson pitch a five-hitter and beat the Tigers, 7-0, for his first major league victory. Coach Harvey Kuenn directed the Brewers for the final game of the season. Darrell Porter, who caught Anderson, backed the young righthander with a homer and triple, driving in three runs.

White Sox 6, Twins 4 at Minnesota (day game):
Frank Quilici, who was fired earlier in the day, managed the Twins for the last time and wound up with a defeat when the White Sox scored twice in the 10th inning to gain a 6-4 victory. Nyls Nyman and Bill Melton hit homers for the White Sox before the game went into overtime. In the 10th, Bucky Dent and Pete Varney singled with two out. Tom Burgmeier, pitching to Pat Kelly, uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Dent to score. Kelly then singled to drive in Varney.

[DH] Orioles 3, Yankees 0 (day game) / Yankees 3, Orioles 2 at New York (day game):
Jim Palmer turned in his 10th shutout and posted his 23rd victory, beating the Yankees, 3-0, in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Orioles lost the second game, 3-2, to end their season. Don Baylor homered in the second inning for the only run that Palmer needed, but the Orioles added a pair in the sixth on a single by Royle Stillman, double by Paul Blair, an error and sacrifice fly by Lee May. In the nightcap, the Orioles held a 2-0 lead going into the last half of the ninth when the Yankees rallied to win on an error. Roy White and Thurman Munson hit singles, Rick Dempsey walked to load the bases and Terry Whitfield singled to drive in the tying tallies. Rich Coggins, coming up as a pinch-hitter, missed an attempted squeeze bunt and Dempsey was hung up between third and home, but when Dyar Miller the dropped ball in the rundown, Dempsey scored to end the game.

A's 5, Angels 0 at Oakland (day game):
For the first time in major league history, four pitchers combined on a no-hitter as the Athletics defeated the Angels, 5-0. Vida Blue pitched the first five innings and permitted the only Angels' baserunners of the game -- two on walks and one on an error by Bert Campaneris. Glenn Abbott came in for the sixth inning, Paul Lindblad pitched the seventh and Rollie Fingers hurled the last two frames. Among them, the relievers retired the last 12 straight batters. Reggie Jackson drove in three of the A's runs with his 35th and 36th homers.

Rangers 3, Royals 1 at Texas (day game):
The Rangers, who finished third in the West Division, capped their season by defeating the Royals, 3-1. The Rangers sent Stan Perzanowski on the road to victory by scoring twice in the first inning. Lenny Randle led off with a single and Roy Smalley sacrificed. When Jim Wohlford mishandled a fly by Mike Hargrove, Randle scored. Hargrove reached second on the error and counted on a single by Jim Spencer.

Cubs 9, Expos 6 at Chicago (day game):
Andre Thornton, Manny Trillo and Rick Reuschel each batted in two runs as the Cubs gained a 9-6 victory to finish in a tie with the Expos for fifth place in the East Division. Bill Madlock went hitless in four trips, but won the batting championship with an unofficial mark of .354. Thornton delivered his RBIs with a homer and single. Trillo rapped a double and single, while Reuschel had three hits before being chased from the mound in the sixth inning. Darold Knowles finished. The Expos' production included a two-run homer by Mike Jorgensen.

Reds 7, Braves 6 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Reds defeated the Braves, 7-6, and ended the regular season with 108 victories, most for any N. L. club since the 1906 Cubs won 116 games. The Reds, after taking a 3-0 lead in the first inning, fell behind, 5-3, before rallying to go ahead with three more runs in the eighth. Dave May homered for the Braves to tie the score in the ninth, but the Reds then won with an unearned run in their half. With one out, Bill Plummer was safe on an error by Darrell Evans and took second on a passed ball. After a walk to Ed Armbrister and infield out by Ken Griffey, Cesar Geronimo singled to drive in the winning run.

Astros 4, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (day game):
A three-run homer by Cliff Johnson in the eighth inning carried the Astros to a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers. The Astros began the eighth with a run on an error, infield out and single by Art Gardner to tie the score at 1-1. Jose Cruz then was hit by a pitch before Johnson smashed his homer.

Mets 5, Phillies 4 at Philadelphia (day game):
Although chased in the sixth inning, Tom Seaver was able to receive credit for his 22nd victory when the Mets defeated the Phillies, 5-4. Skip Lockwood relieved and saved the decision for Seaver. Rusty Staub hit two sacrifice flies and Mike Phillips added one for the Mets, who took advantage of three errors to score four unearned runs. Dave Cash was hitless in four trips for the Phillies, but set a major league record for most times at bat in one season, 699.

Giants 5, Padres 3 at San Diego (day game):
Although Randy Jones lost to the Giants, 5-3, the Padres' ace lefthander won the league's earned run average title with a mark of 2.24. Jones gave up four runs, but only two were earned. Gary Matthews homered with a man on base off Jones in the first inning and Gary Thomasson added a solo swat off reliever Danny Frisella in the eighth.

Cardinals 6, Pirates 2 at St. Louis (day game):
The Pirates, who performed like a sandlot club rather than division champions, committed seven errors and lost their last game of the regular season to the Cardinals, 6-2. The victory enabled the Cards to finish in a tie with the Mets for third place. Five of the Redbirds' runs were unearned. A double by Mario Guerrero and two errors by John Candelaria resulted in the first run in the third inning and Reggie Smith drove in two more with a single. After the Pirates picked up their pair, also unearned, on a throwing error by Ted Simmons in the fifth, Smith homered in the Cards' half.
