Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 4, Red Sox 3 at Cleveland (night game):
The losing streak of the Red Sox was extended to 10 games when they were defeated by the Indians, 4-3, on a three-run homer by Alan Ashby in the seventh inning. The Red Sox opened the first inning with a Carlton Fisk homer with two men on base. Rico Carty doubled home a run for the Indians in the home half. Fergie Jenkins retained the lead until the seventh when Carty hit another double, George Hendrick beat out an infield hit and Ashby turned the game around with his circuit clout.

Royals 6, Twins 3 at Kansas City (day game):
Getting three hits in a game for the fourth consecutive time, George Brett batted in the tie-breaking run as the Royals defeated the Twins, 6-3. After knotting the count with the aid of a two-run homer by Amos Otis in the fifth, the Royals opened the seventh with singles by Buck Martinez and Otis. When Tom Burgmeier took over in relief, Brett greeted the change with a run-scoring single. After John Mayberry flied out, Hal McRae also batted in a run with his third hit of the night.

Orioles 5, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Driving in all five runs between them, Lee May and Ken Singleton batted the Orioles to a 5-2 victory over the Brewers. May hit a sacrifice fly and Singleton plated two runs with a double in the first inning. Then in the third, May singled to drive in the Orioles' remaining pair.

Tigers 4, Yankees 3 at New York (night game):
A three-run rally in the ninth inning brought the Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Yankees. Rusty Staub doubled and scored the first run on an infield out and sacrifice fly by Aurelio Rodriguez. Dan Meyer and Tom Veryzer followed with singles and, after a wild pitch by Ed Figueroa, Gary Sutherland knocked them home with a single to win the game for the Tigers.

A's 6, Angels 4 at Oakland (night game):
Pinch-hitter Ken McMullen knocked in two runs with a single and Tim Hosley accounted for two more with a homer as the Athletics rallied for four runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Angels, 6-4. A walk to Billy Williams and double by Bert Campaneris preceded McMullen's single. Hosley then hit Paul Hartzell's next pitch for a homer.

Rangers 6, White Sox 5 at Texas (night game):
A triple by Juan Beniquez to open the ninth inning put the Rangers in position to defeat the White Sox, 6-5. After intentional passes to Lenny Randle and Mike Hargrove loaded the bases, Toby Harrah hit a sacrifice fly for the winning run.

Braves 8, Mets 7 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves snapped their 13-game losing streak when Rowland Office singled Marty Perez home with two out in the ninth inning to beat the Mets, 8-7. Perez, who had a two-run homer earlier in the contest, led off with a single and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Darrel Chaney. After an intentional pass to Dave May, Lee Lacy popped up but Office came through with his hit.

Cubs 4, Giants 0 at Chicago (day game):
Getting the first shutout to credit of their staff this season, the Cubs ended a five-game losing streak by defeating the Giants, 4-0. Ken Frailing pitched the first three innings before leaving the mound because of a tightened shoulder and Oscar Zamora completed the shutout, working the last six stanzas and allowing only three hits. The Cubs scored all their runs in the sixth, two on a double by Manny Trillo.

Reds 6, Pirates 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
With Tony Perez continuing his hot work at bat, the Reds defeated the Pirates, 6-0, behind the six-hit pitching of Gary Nolan. Perez, who drove in four runs, smashed a single and homer, giving him nine hits, including three round-trippers and 10 RBIs in his last 17 times at bat.

Astros 5, Expos 3 at Houston (night game):
Before Clay Kirby could retire a single batter, the Astros scored five runs in the first inning to defeat the Expos, 5-3. Larry Milbourne and Enos Cabell, leading off for the Astros, both walked and Jose Cruz drilled a homer. Then, after another pass to Bob Watson, Cliff Johnson also hit for the circuit.

Phillies 9, Padres 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Steve Carlton pitched a six-hitter and Mike Schmidt smashed his 13th homer of the season, connecting with a man on base in the eighth inning, as the Phillies defeated the Padres, 9-1.

Dodgers 4, Cardinals 0 at St. Louis (night game):
The Dodgers, who won the previous night's game, 4-3, with homers by Ron Cey and Joe Ferguson, came back with more power hitting by the same pair to defeat the Cardinals, 4-0. Cey hit two homers and Ferguson one. Don Sutton, who started the year with three straight defeats, brought his record to 4-3 and shut out the Cards for the second time.
