Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 3, White Sox 0 at Cleveland (day game):
Rick Waits pitched the first six innings and Jim Bibby finished as the Indians shut out the White Sox, 3-0, although the Tribe's two pitchers yielded 11 hits between them. The Indians collected only nine. Frank Duffy, who had just three RBIs to his credit since May 13, woke up and drove in two of the Indians' runs, one on a bunt single and another on a sacrifice fly.

Tigers 10, Angels 4 at Detroit (day game):
A six-run outburst in the fourth inning enabled the Tigers to defeat the Angels, 10-4. Successive singles by Aurelio Rodriguez, John Wockenfuss, Chuck Scrivener and Ron LeFlore accounted for the first two runs in the uprising. Pedro Garcia then doubled for another tally before Alex Johnson came up and unloaded a three-run homer to clip the Angels' wings.

Royals 7, Orioles 6 at Kansas City (night game):
The Orioles suffered their eighth straight defeat in the club's longest losing streak since 1958 when they bowed to the Royals, 7-6. The only thing that made the score close was a three-run homer by Reggie Jackson in the ninth inning. John Mayberry hit his fourth homer in as many games for the Royals and George Brett drove in two runs with a pair of sacrifice flies.

A's 2, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
Joe Rudi homered in the fourth inning and, one out later, Gene Tenace also hit for the circuit to carry the Athletics to a 2-1 victory over the Brewers. Paul Mitchell, who pitched six innings and allowed the Brewers' run on three singles in the fourth, gained his second victory of the season and first since May 10.

Red Sox 5, Twins 2 at Minnesota (day game):
With the help of a homer and triple by Dwight Evans, Luis Tiant pitched the Red Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Twins. The Red Sox scored in the first inning on a double by Cecil Cooper and single by Fred Lynn before Evans hit his homer in the second. After adding an unearned run in that same stanza, the Red Sox completed their scoring in the fifth on a single by Lynn, Evans' triple and a single by Rico Petrocelli.

Rangers 2, Yankees 1 at New York (night game):
A two-run single by Jeff Burroughs in the third inning was all that the Rangers needed to defeat the Yankees, 2-1. Jim Sundberg and Lenny Randle singled and Toby Harrah walked to load the bases before Burroughs unloaded his single to boost his league-leading RBI total to 44. Nelson Briles pitched the first five innings for the Rangers but then had to leave the game with a stiff leg as the result of being hit by a batted ball. The Rangers then had to call on three relievers to preserve their victory with the Yankees' run coming on a homer by Carlos May in the ninth inning.

Pirates 4, Braves 2 at Atlanta (night game):
The Pirates collected 12 hits to only six for the Braves but had to struggle for 11 innings before gaining a 4-2 victory. Al Oliver drove in the first Pirate run with a sacrifice fly in the opening frame and Dave Parker added an RBI with a double in the fifth, but the Braves came back to tie the score with two unearned tallies at the expense of Bruce Kison. However in the 11th, Ed Ott walked as a pinch-hitter for Bob Moose. Frank Taveras bunted and both runners were safe on a late throw to second. Richie Hebner followed with a sacrifice and Oliver then doubled to drive in two runs.

Cubs 5, Astros 2 at Chicago (day game):
Jerry Morales drove in three runs and Jose Cardenal collected four straight hits as the Cubs defeated the Astros, 5-2. The Cubs settled matters in the first inning with three runs on a single by Rick Monday, balk by Joaquin Andujar, single by Cardenal and homer by Morales. Cardenal singled in the eighth for his fourth hit, moved up on a balk by Ken Forsch and scored on a single by Morales.

Cardinals 5, Reds 4 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Cardinals, who scored five runs in one inning in the previous night's game and yet lost to the Reds, 7-6, scored five runs again in one frame and this time made them stand up for a 5-4 victory. However, three of their five runs were unearned as the result of an error by left fielder Bob Bailey, who dropped a fly ball by Bake McBride to open the third inning. Don Kessinger and Lou Brock followed with singles for one run and another scored when Tony Perez threw home late after fielding a grounder by Reggie Smith. Willie Crawford singled to drive in the third tally and Mike Tyson then put a capper on the outburst with a triple good for two runs. Perez and Pete Rose homered for the Reds. Brock tried batting righthanded for the first time in his 15-year career, with lefthander Will McEnaney on the mound for the Reds in the seventh inning, and struck out.

Dodgers 4, Expos 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Dodgers utilized homers by Steve Garvey, Bill Buckner and Rick Rhoden to defeat the Expos, 4-3. Garvey homered with Buckner aboard in the first inning, Buckner hit for the circuit in the third and Rhoden then provided his own winning run with the first homer of his major league career in the fifth. The blow proved decisive because the Expos rallied for their three runs in the seventh on a double by Barry Foote, a pass to Jim Dwyer and round-tripper by Jim Lyttle.

Phillies 3, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
In a game that lasted one minute short of four hours, the Phillies scored twice in the 15th inning on a double by Tommy Hutton and defeated the Padres, 3-2. The Padres counted on a walk to Dave Winfield, single by Gene Locklear and infield out by Fred Kendall in the second. Dave Freisleben protected that edge through the first eight frames, allowing only one hit, but the Phillies tied the score in the ninth on singles by Mike Schmidt and Jay Johnstone, plus an infield out by Dick Allen. In the 15th, Terry Harmon doubled for the Phillies and, after an intentional pass to Schmidt, Hutton drove in both runners with his two-bagger. The Padres then staged a rally in their half, loading the bases and scoring one run before Phillies' reliever Ron Schueler struck out Winfield to end the game.

Mets 3, Giants 1 at San Francisco (day game):
Although collecting only two hits, the Mets defeated the Giants, 3-1, behind Craig Swan, who snapped his personal five-game losing streak. Swan gave up six hits. The Mets scored two of their runs without the benefit of a hit thanks to the wildness of John D'Acquisto. In the second inning, three walks and an infield out by Swan produced one run and in the sixth a pass to Jerry Grote, an infield out, wild pitch and sacrifice bunt by Bud Harrelson accounted for another tally. The Mets' other run, coming in the third inning, was unearned.
