Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 5, White Sox 4 at Cleveland (night game):
Doing it himself, manager Frank Robinson of the Indians came to bat as a pinch-hitter in the 13th inning and smashed a two-run homer to beat the White Sox, 5-4. Bill Stein drove in a run with a single for the White Sox in the top half of the frame, but Larvell Blanks led off the Indians' portion with a single for his fourth hit of the game and scored ahead of Robinson on the manager's two-out wallop.

Tigers 4, Angels 3 at Detroit (night game):
Ron LeFlore beat out an infield hit in the ninth inning and scored on two errors to bring the Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Angels. After his hit, LeFlore scampered to second when Angel reliever Paul Hartzell threw wildly on a pickoff attempt. Alex Johnson then grounded to second baseman Jerry Remy, who made a bad throw to first, allowing LeFlore to score.

Royals 4, Orioles 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Combining on a four-hitter, Doug Bird and Mark Littell pitched the Royals to a 4-0 victory over the Orioles. Bird went seven innings before his shoulder stiffened, forcing him to yield the mound to Littell. Bird did not issue a pass, giving him a streak of 31 consecutive innings without giving up a base on balls. Al Cowens batted in two of the Royals' runs with a pair of singles.

Brewers 4, A's 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Gary Sutherland, obtained in a deal with the Tigers, made his first appearance in a Milwaukee uniform and drove in the go-ahead run with a sixth-inning single as the Brewers defeated the Athletics, 4-2. With the A's leading, 2-1, Sixto Lezcano singled for the Brewers in the sixth and counted the tying run on a triple by Gorman Thomas. Sutherland then bounced his single to send the Brewers in front. The Brewers added a run in the eighth to clinch the victory for Jim Colborn.

Twins 10, Red Sox 4 at Minnesota (night game):
After giving up three runs in the first inning and coming back with six in their half, the Twins went on to defeat the Red Sox, 10-4. Bill Singer, who started for the Twins, was knocked out in the fourth after yielding another run to the Red Sox with none out, but Tom Burgmeier relieved and pitched scoreless ball the rest of the way, allowing only two hits.

Yankees 7, Rangers 5 at New York (night game):
Graig Nettles hit two homers, connecting for the second time with a man on base in the eighth inning, to give the Yankees a 7-5 victory over the Rangers. Nettles first homered with two aboard in the fourth, but the Rangers erupted for five runs in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead. Roy White led off the Yankee eighth with a homer to tie the score. With two out, Carlos May singled and gave way to pinch-runner Sandy Alomar before Nettles smashed his second circuit clout of the game for the winning blow.

Pirates 6, Braves 2 at Atlanta (night game):
Finishing their attack with three homers, the Pirates defeated the Braves, 6-2. After the Pirates took a slim 2-0 lead, Bill Robinson homered in seventh inning, Richie Zisk connected with a man on base in the eighth and Bob Moose, pitching in relief of John Candelaria, hit the first homer of his major league career in the ninth.

Cubs 8, Astros 3 at Chicago (day game):
Led by George Mitterwald, who collected four hits in four trips, the Cubs defeated the Astros, 8-3. With the score tied, 1-1, the Cubs put the game away with four runs in the fifth inning. Jerry Morales beat out an infield hit with the bases loaded, driving in one run, and when Jerry DaVanon threw wildly, another scored. Mitterwald followed an with identical infield hit and two more runs scored when DaVanon committed another error, this time bouncing a throw that struck Bob Watson and broke the Houston first baseman's nose.

Reds 8, Cardinals 7 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Cardinals, after scoring five runs in the first inning, were leading, 7-5, going into the last half of the ninth when disaster struck and they lost to the Reds, 8-7. The disaster came in the shape of a three-run homer by Tony Perez after Ken Griffey opened the inning with a single and Joe Morgan walked. Dave Concepcion ran for Morgan.

Dodgers 7, Expos 4 at Los Angeles (night game):
Steve Garvey rapped a single, double and triple to account for half of the Dodgers' six hits in a 7-4 victory over the Expos. The Dodgers capitalized on two errors and the wildness of Clay Kirby to score five unearned runs in the first two innings. Garvey accounted for three RBIs.

Phillies 4, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
Sparked by Jay Johnstone, who hit a homer, the Phillies rallied for four runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Padres, 4-2. After Johnstone's blast, other runs followed on a single by Bob Boone, pass to Dave Cash, single by Garry Maddox and double by Mike Schmidt.

Giants 5, Mets 0 at San Francisco (night game):
John Montefusco posted his third shutout of the season, allowing only three hits and pitching the Giants to a 5-0 victory over the Mets. Bobby Murcer and Marc Hill homered to account for the Giants' runs. Murcer connected with two on base in the first inning and Hill with one aboard in the second.
