Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 4, Angels 2 at Baltimore (night game):
A surprise double steal enabled the Orioles to score three runs in the fifth inning to defeat the Angels, 4-2. Paul Blair opened the frame with a single and Bobby Grich walked. With Andres Mora at the plate, the Angels charged in for a possible bunt and that was when the Orioles worked the double steal. Catcher Andy Etchebarren's throw to third was wild and Blair scored. Grich reached third on the error and came home on a sacrifice fly by Mora. Tony Muser followed with a single and Brooks Robinson doubled for the third run.

Brewers 4, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
After the first seven batters were retired, the Brewers rose up against Wilbur Wood and scored three runs in the third inning to defeat the White Sox, 4-1. Charlie Moore singled to break Wood's spell. After Moore stopped at third on a double by Pedro Garcia, both runners scored when Don Money singled. Robin Yount doubled to add the third run of the frame.

Tigers 8, A's 1 at Detroit (day game):
The Tigers, who obtained Dave Roberts from the Astros, made that winter deal look better than ever when the lefthander pitched his second straight two-hitter and defeated the Athletics, 8-1. The victory was the third straight for Roberts, who had easy sailing after the Tigers exploded for six runs in the third inning.

Indians 9, Twins 0 at Minnesota (day game):
Following up a shutout of the Athletics in his previous start, Dennis Eckersley fired six more blanks before turning the mound over to Don Hood, who completed pitching the Indians to a 9-0 victory over the Twins. Rick Manning led the Indians' attack with a single, double and homer.

Dodgers 2, Pirates 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Ron Cey, who singled and scored on an error in the second inning, smashed a homer in the ninth to give the Dodgers a 2-1 victory over the Pirates. Richie Hebner hit for the circuit for the Pirates' marker in the fourth.

[DH] Astros 6, Expos 4 (day game) / Expos 8, Astros 7 at Montreal (day game):
The Expos fell short in a ninth-inning rally and lost to the Astros, 6-4, in the first game of a doubleheader, but came up with two runs in another ninth-inning rally to win the second game, 8-7. Leon Roberts hit a three-run homer for the Astros in the opener. Shut out, 6-0, going into the ninth, the Expos knocked out J.R. Richard and scored four runs before Gary Carter, the ninth batter of the inning, flied out to end the game. In the nightcap, the Expos had a three-run homer by Nate Colbert but trailed, 7-6, until putting over the tying and winning runs in the ninth on a single by Carter, walk to Colbert, single by Pete Mackanin, pass to Tim Foli and single by Jose Morales, who batted for winning reliever Don Carrithers.

Mets 3, Braves 0 at New York (day game):
Dave Kingman cracked a three-run homer off Andy Messersmith in the first inning and Craig Swan took it from there to pitch the Mets to a 3-0 victory over the Braves for his first major league shutout. Two were out when Del Unser walked, Ed Kranepool singled and Kingman followed with his ninth homer of the season. Darrell Evans of the Braves struck out three times and grounded out once to end his N. L. record string of walks in 15 straight games.

Phillies 7, Reds 6 at Philadelphia (night game):
An intentional pass backfired on the Reds when Bob Boone hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning to enable the Phillies to gain a 7-6 victory. The Phils were leading, 4-3, in the fifth when Jay Johnstone doubled with two out. The Reds then passed Bobby Tolan in order to get at Boone, who wrecked the strategy with his game-deciding homer.

Cubs 8, Padres 5 at San Diego (night game):
A winner of four straight decisions, Randy Jones' string came to an end when the Cubs defeated the Padres, 8-5. Rick Monday led the Cubs' attack on Jones, driving in two runs with a homer in the third inning and two more with a double in the fourth.

Cardinals 4, Giants 2 at San Francisco (day game):
Doug Clarey, who was brought up as infield insurance because of an injury to Mike Tyson, smashed a two-run homer in the 16th inning to provide the Cardinals with a 4-2 victory over the Giants. Clarey, 22, was slated to join St. Petersburg (Florida State) before Tyson was hurt. He had batted only once before for the Cards and the homer represented his first major league hit. It also produced the first major league victory for Mike Proly, the fifth of six pitchers used by the Cardinals.
