Today's scores and summaries:

Brewers 11, Red Sox 5 at Boston (day game):
Shattering their seven-game losing streak, the Brewers set a club record for hits with 19 while beating the Red Sox, 11-5. Don Money had four hits including a homer, and batted in five runs.

Angels 5, Twins 1 at California (day game):
A loser of three previous decisions, Don Kirkwood scattered seven hits and pitched the Angels to a 5-1 victory over the Twins. The Angels, after scoring twice in the third inning, one run coming on a sacrifice fly by Bobby Bonds, counted twice more in the seventh without the benefit of a hit on three walks and two hit batsmen. Bonds got credit for his second RBI in the game when hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

Indians 4, Tigers 0 at Detroit (day game):
A Jacket Day crowd of 51,650, Detroit's largest turnout since June 17, 1973, saw the Tigers succumb to the four-hit pitching of Jackie Brown and lose to the Indians, 4-0. Alan Ashby squeezed a run across the plate in the sixth inning and batted in two more with a single in the eighth.

White Sox 4, Royals 3 at Kansas City (day game):
The relief pitching of Clay Carroll and Dave Hamilton enabled the White Sox to end their four-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Royals. Carroll took over with one out in the second inning after the Royals had scored two runs off Terry Forster. When the Royals pushed over another run in the eighth, Hamilton came in to save the game. Jorge Orta batted in two runs and Jack Brohamer hit a homer for the White Sox, who snapped the Royals' five-game winning streak.

Orioles 7, Yankees 0 at New York (day game):
Ken Holtzman pitched his first shutout of the year, blanking the Yankees on five hits, as he gained his first victory since April 28. Light-hitting Mark Belanger supplied the punch with two doubles and two singles as the Orioles struck early, scoring six runs in the first five innings.

A's 3, Rangers 2 at Oakland (day game):
Beating himself, Steve Barr uncorked a wild throw and wild pitch to allow the Athletics to score their winning run in a 3-2 victory over the Rangers. With two out in the seventh inning, Phil Garner beat out an infield hit. Pinch-runner Larry Lintz raced to third when Barr's attempted pickoff went wild and scored moments later on the lefthander's wild pitch.

Expos 5, Braves 4 at Atlanta (day game):
A two-run rally in the ninth inning brought the Expos a 5-4 victory over the Braves. Larry Parrish walked and raced home from first base with the tying run when Braves' third baseman Jerry Royster threw wildly on an infield single by Tim Foli. Pete Mackanin followed with a double to drive in the Expos' winning run.

Cubs 6, Padres 5 at Chicago (day game):
Flu-stricken Rick Monday came off the Cubs' bench and smashed a three-run pinch-homer in the sixth inning to beat the Padres, 6-5. The Padres started the game with a bang, scoring three runs on a homer by Willie Davis and another on a circuit clout by Doug Rader. The Cubs came back with two in their half of the first on a homer by Jerry Morales and added a run in the second before Monday's pinch-homer in the sixth decided the outcome.

[DH] Mets 7, Reds 5 (day game) / Reds 8, Mets 1 at Cincinnati (day game):
Ed Kranepool and Joe Torre hit two-run homers to help the Mets win the first game of a doubleheader, 7-5, but Cesar Geronimo and Dave Concepcion drove in seven runs between them to lead the Reds to an 8-1 victory in the second game. Jon Matlack won his fourth straight decision for the Mets in the opener. After homers by Kranepool and Torre led to a 5-3 lead, the Mets put over the deciding pair in the eighth inning on two walks and two singles. In the nightcap, Concepcion batted in four runs with a double and two singles. Geronimo accounted for three RBIs with a sacrifice fly and triple.

Phillies 12, Astros 2 at Houston (day game):
Backed by a 15-hit attack, Steve Carlton pitched the Phillies to a 12-2 victory over the Astros. Garry Maddox and Greg Luzinski rapped three hits each, while four other Phillies had two apiece. The Phillies scored six of their runs in the second inning, sending 10 men to the plate.

Dodgers 6, Pirates 0 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Bill Buckner and Ellie Rodriguez batted in two runs apiece to support Burt Hooton, who allowed only four hits in pitching the Dodgers to a 6-0 victory over the Pirates. Rodriguez entered the game as a substitute catcher when Steve Yeager was ejected by umpire Frank Pulli for arguing about a called third strike.

Cardinals 9, Giants 3 at St. Louis (day game):
Facing his former teammates, Pete Falcone got off to a shaky start, giving up two runs in the first inning, but the lefthander then settled down and pitched the Cardinals to a 9-3 victory over the Giants. The Cards quickly put Falcone ahead in their half of the first, scoring four runs on a single by Lou Brock, pass to Vic Harris, homer by Reggie Smith, double by Willie Crawford and single by Ron Fairly.
