Today's scores and summaries:

Yankees 7, Red Sox 2 at Boston (night game):
Taking advantage of wildness by Dick Pole and Tom House, the Yankees scored five runs in the second inning and defeated the Red Sox, 7-2. Pole, who yielded a run in the first, gave up two walks and a single by Willie Randolph to load the bases in the second. Thurman Munson was hit by a pitch, forcing in one run, and Chris Chambliss singled home two more to kayo Pole. House, in relief, then walked two batters to force in another run and uncorked a wild pitch to allow Chambliss to cross the plate with the fifth tally of the frame.

White Sox 1, Rangers 0 at Chicago (night game):
After yielding only two hits in the first 10 innings, Jim Umbarger saw his string of 24 consecutive scoreless stanzas come to an end when the White Sox scored in the 11th to defeat the Rangers, 1-0. Jim Essian started Umbarger's downfall with a double and gave way on the paths to Pat Kelly. After an intentional pass to Bill Stein, Ralph Garr attempted a sacrifice and forced Stein at second as Kelly moved to third on the play. Umbarger then walked Bucky Dent intentionally to load the bases in a move that failed when Jorge Orta singled over center fielder Juan Beniquez' head to drive in Kelly. The Rangers also were held to four hits by Bart Johnson, who worked the first nine innings, and Dave Hamilton, who finished.

Orioles 2, Indians 0 at Cleveland (night game):
The Orioles, who were held to two hits in the first 13 innings, broke loose in the 14th when Reggie Jackson singled with one out and Lee May smashed a homer to defeat the Indians, 2-0. Wayne Garland, who pitched the last two frames in relief of Jim Palmer, received credit for his fifth straight victory.

Tigers 6, Brewers 4 at Detroit (night game):
An inside-the-park homer by Ben Oglivie with a man on base in the eighth inning provided the Tigers' winning margin in a 6-4 victory over the Brewers.

Angels 5, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Veteran Tommy Davis, signed as a free agent just prior to the game, came up for his first time at bat in an Angels' uniform and drove in two runs with a pinch-single in the eighth inning to help beat the Twins, 5-2. Three walks loaded the bases before Davis delivered his hit to break a 2-2 tie. Dave Chalk followed with a sacrifice fly for an additional run. Chalk previously had accounted for the Angels' first two tallies with a single in the second inning.

Royals 4, A's 3 at Oakland (night game):
George Brett, who earlier in the season had six consecutive three-hit games, had four hits and set up the run that enabled the Royals to defeat the Athletics, 4-3, in 12 innings. Amos Otis drew a walk from Rollie Fingers, took third when Brett singled for his fourth hit and scored on a sacrifice fly by John Mayberry.

Reds 8, Astros 7 at Houston (night game):
A two-run rally in the seventh inning enabled the Reds to edge the Astros, 8-7. Mike Lum led off with a pinch-single and Pete Rose followed with his second double of the night, pinch-runner Ken Griffey stopping at third. Dan Driessen singled Griffey home to tie the score and Rose, who moved to third on the play, then scored what proved to be the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan.

Dodgers 11, Giants 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
Defeated in four previous meetings this season, the Dodgers turned on the Giants with an 18-hit attack and batted their way to an 11-3 victory. The Dodgers ended John Montefusco's string of 21 scoreless innings by counting in first on a single by Ron Cey. The Giants' starter then gave up four more runs on a total of nine hits before being kayoed after 2 1/3 innings. Rick Rhoden, who gained his fourth straight victory, drove in four of the Dodgers' runs in the game with a pair of singles and a squeeze bunt.

Pirates 4, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
Hitting a triple for his third safety of the game, Manny Sanguillen scored the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning to lead the Pirates to a 4-2 victory over the Expos, who suffered their sixth straight loss. After his three-bagger, Sanguillen crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Richie Zisk to snap a 2-2 deadlock. The Pirates added an insurance run in the ninth.

Cubs 5, Mets 3 at New York (night game):
The Cubs got only the second complete game of the season from one of their pitchers when Bill Bonham defeated the Mets, 5-3. The only other route-going performance to the credit of the Cubs' staff was turned in April 30 by Rick Reuschel, who beat the Giants, 5-2.

Phillies 4, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
Tom Underwood, who never has lost to the Cardinals, beat them for the fourth straight time in his young career, pitching the Phillies to a 4-1 victory. Not only that, the lefthander actually won his own game, driving in the Phillies' first two runs with a bases-loaded single. The victory was the Phillies' 13th straight in games on the road.
