Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 2, Brewers 1 at Boston (night game):
When Bill Lee showed up for the game with strep throat, Dick Pole took over the starting spot and combined with Jim Willoughby to pitch the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Brewers. The Red Sox scored the winning run in the fifth inning when Rick Miller singled and Cecil Cooper tripled.

Twins 6, Angels 4 at California (night game):
In a game that looked like a sandlot performance, the Twins defeated the Angels, 6-4. There were 13 walks in the contest, plus four wild pitches, two balks, two hit batmen, one passed ball and four errors. Butch Wynegar made the difference for the Twins on offense, driving in two runs with a double and scoring twice.

Indians 6, Tigers 3 at Detroit (night game):
Rick Manning and Rico Carty had four hits apiece to lead the Indians' attack in a 6-3 victory over the Tigers. Carty, whose hits included two doubles, drove in three runs. Manning, who had a triple and three singles, scored four times.

Royals 7, White Sox 1 at Kansas City (day game):
George Brett, who had collected three hits in each of six straight games, was stopped on his streak, drawing the collar in two official trips, but the Royals nevertheless breezed to a 7-1 victory over the White Sox. Amos Otis homered with a man on base in the first inning when the Royals put over three runs to clinch the decision quickly.

Orioles 6, Yankees 2 at New York (night game):
A homer by Reggie Jackson with a man on base began a four-run outburst in the first inning and started the Orioles off to a 6-2 victory over the Yankees with Catfish Hunter the loser. Jackson's jolt followed a single by Mark Belanger. The Orioles went on to add their two other runs in that frame on singles by Lee May, Andres Mora, Tony Muser and Elrod Hendricks. The other two tallies came on a homer by Hendricks in the sixth. Thurman Munson batted in both of the Yankees' markers.

Rangers 4, A's 3 at Oakland (night game):
Sending Rollie Fingers down to his third straight loss in relief, Lenny Randle tripled in the 10th inning and Mike Hargrove singled to give the Rangers a 4-3 victory over the Athletics. The Rangers built up a 3-0 lead with a homer by Roy Howell and two-run single by Tom Grieve, but the A's rallied against Gaylord Perry to tie the score on singles by Claudell Washington, Joe Rudi and Sal Bando, plus a double by Billy Williams.

Padres 7, Cubs 4 at Chicago (day game):
Ted Kubiak batted in three runs with a triple and single, while Fred Kendall accounted for two RBIs with a grounder and single, as the Padres did all their scoring in the second and third innings to defeat the Cubs, 7-4.

Reds 5, Mets 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
Posting his first complete game since August 11, 1975, Jack Billingham pitched the Reds to a 5-1 victory over the Mets. Billingham lost his bid for a shutout on a homer by Benny Ayala in the ninth. Johnny Bench, who had been out for a week with a strained right knee, returned to action with the Reds and smashed a homer with a man on base and a sacrifice fly.

Phillies 5, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
Taking advantage of three errors and a passed ball, the Phillies scored five unearned runs and defeated the Astros, 5-1. A walk to Mike Schmidt, error by Larry Milbourne, another pass to Ollie Brown, double by Bobby Tolan and infield hit by Bob Boone produced two runs for the Phillies in the fourth inning. An error by Bob Watson in the sixth, one by Cesar Cedeno in the seventh and a passed ball by Cliff Johnson in the ninth admitted the Phils' final tallies.

Dodgers 3, Pirates 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Although the Dodgers collected only four hits, they included two home runs that beat the Pirates, 3-2. John Candelaria, who pitched the route for the Bucs, retired the first 16 batters in a row before Bill Russell homered for the Dodgers' first run. Then in the eighth, after Joe Ferguson singled, Steve Yeager connected for the circuit.

Cardinals 3, Giants 1 at St. Louis (night game):
A two-run single by Ron Fairly with the bases loaded in the sixth inning proved the difference when the Cardinals defeated the Giants, 3-1. Lou Brock singled, Willie Crawford hit a bloop double and Ted Simmons was handed an intentional pass before Fairly stroked his single off John Montefusco. Lynn McGlothen started for the Cardinals but was removed after a 37-minute delay because of rain in the eighth inning. Al Hrabosky finished.
