Today's scores and summaries:

Rangers 6, Orioles 3 at Baltimore (night game):
Fritz Peterson, who was 0-3 with the Indians before being traded, made his initial appearance with the Rangers and gained credit for a 6-3 victory over the Orioles. The defeat was the eighth in their last 10 games for the Orioles. Gene Clines knocked in two Ranger runs with a pair of singles, while Jim Sundberg and Jeff Burroughs each added a run-scoring double.

A's 6, Red Sox 5 at Boston (night game):
Gene Tenace, who had hit 24 or more homers in each of the last three seasons, whacked his first two round-trippers of 1976 and drove in three runs to pace the Athletics to a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox. However, the A's put over their deciding tally in the ninth on a single by Don Baylor and double by Joe Rudi.

Twins 3, Indians 1 at Cleveland (night game):
The relief pitching of Bill Campbell, who allowed only one hit in the last 5 1/3 innings, enabled the Twins to defeat the Indians, 3-1. Rod Carew was the standout for the Twins on offense, hitting three singles, stealing three bases and scoring two runs.

Tigers 3, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
A two-run homer by Jason Thompson in the second inning and another run in the third on a double by Dan Meyer and single by Rusty Staub gave the Tigers a 3-1 victory over the Royals.

Brewers 2, White Sox 0 at Milwaukee (night game):
A winner for the fifth straight time, Bill Travers lowered his league-leading earned run average to 1.73 while pitching the Brewers to a 2-0 victory over the White Sox. A double by Von Joshua and single by Don Money accounted for the first Brewer run in the fifth inning and the other scored on a wild throw by Brian Downing in the seventh.

Yankees 4, Angels 2 at New York (night game):
The Yankees did not exactly knock down the fences, but they finally gave Dock Ellis enough runs to enable the righthander to beat the Angels, 4-2, snapping his personal four-game losing streak. The Yankees previously had scored a total of only three runs for Ellis while he was on the mound in his four losses, but this time he had the support of a homer by Graig Nettles and a two-run triple by Chris Chambliss.

Braves 7, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
The Braves extended their winning streak to five games with a 7-3 victory over the Cubs, who suffered their fifth defeat in a row. Jerry Royster rapped a two-run homer for the Braves, while Rod Gilbreath had four hits in five trips, drove in two runs and scored two.

Astros 2, Cardinals 0 at Houston (night game):
Two unearned runs, both scored by Larry Dierker, enabled the Astros' pitcher to shut out the Cardinals, 2-0. Dierker was safe on an error in the sixth inning and eventually scored the Astros' first run on a single by Bob Watson. Dierker singled in the eighth and came around to score on two throwing errors by Hector Cruz.

Phillies 14, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Piling up four runs in the fourth inning and six more in the fifth, the Phillies rolled over the Dodgers, 14-2, with 20 hits that included two or more for each of eight different players.

Reds 10, Pirates 5 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Joe Morgan smashed two homers, giving the star second baseman a total of four in two consecutive games, as the Reds knocked off the Pirates, 10-5. Morgan also hit a sacrifice fly to account for three RBIs. Ken Griffey also batted in three runs with a homer and double, while Santo Alcala gained his sixth victory in seven decisions and marked the occasion by driving in a run with a single for the first RBI of his major league career.

Padres 3, Mets 0 at San Diego (night game):
Posting the second shutout in his last three starts, Dave Freisleben pitched the Padres to a 3-0 victory over the Mets, allowing only three hits. Freisleben also scored the Padres' first run, hitting a triple in the sixth inning and trotting home on another three-bagger by Enzo Hernandez.

Expos 9, Giants 4 at San Francisco (night game):
Although falling two outs short of his first complete game of the season, Woodie Fryman nevertheless gained his seventh victory when the Expos defeated the Giants, 9-4. Only five of the Expos' runs were earned as a result of five errors by the Giants. Tim Foli batted in three runs and Larry Parrish accounted for two to pace the Expos' scoring.
