Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Indians 8, White Sox 5 (day game) / Indians 9, White Sox 7 at Cleveland (day game):
Breaking out of his slump, Rico Carty hit a homer, double and single as the designated hitter in the first game and then delivered a three-run double as a pinch-hitter in the second game as the Indians defeated the White Sox in a doubleheader, 8-5 and 9-7. Carty's homer in the lidlifter was his first since May 12. Frank Duffy also rapped a round-tripper for the Tribe. In the nightcap, the Indians trailed, 6-3, until they exploded for six runs in the eighth inning. Carty's double tied the score and the Indians then added their other runs with the aid of a triple by Larvell Blanks.

Angels 10, Tigers 7 at Detroit (day game):
The Angels came out ahead in an extra-base encounter to defeat the Tigers, 10-7. Orlando Alvarez and Ron Jackson each hit a homer and double for the Angels. Alvarez knocked in three runs and Jackson accounted for two. Four other Angels also hit doubles, including Tommy Davis, who batted in two runs. The Tigers had four doubles, one triple and a three-run homer by Aurelio Rodriguez.

Royals 8, Orioles 4 at Kansas City (day game):
Paced by George Brett, who hit a homer, triple and double, the Royals posted an 8-4 win over the Orioles, who went down to their ninth straight defeat. Brett drove in two runs with his triple in the first inning, added a homer in the third and then doubled and scored on another double by Jim Wohlford in the fifth. The Royals' attack also included a two-run homer by Buck Martinez.

Brewers 5, A's 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
Jim Slaton allowed only five hits in 8 1/3 innings and gained his eighth victory of the season as the Brewers defeated the Athletics, 5-4. After Bill North singled on the first pitch of the game, Slaton retired the next 22 A's in order. The A's then picked up a run in the eighth and two in the ninth before Bill Castro halted the rally.

Red Sox 10, Twins 2 at Minnesota (day game):
Rookie reliever Rick Jones, who had appeared in eight games but had not pitched since May 31, made the first start of his major league career and hurled the Red Sox to a 10-2 victory over the Twins. The Red Sox scored seven of their runs, five unearned, on six hits and two errors in the third inning.

Rangers 7, Yankees 1 at New York (day game):
Staked to a 6-0 lead in the first two innings, Jim Umbarger pitched the Rangers to a 7-1 victory over the Yankees. After counting three times in the first, the Rangers added three more in the second on a homer by Mike Hargrove. Catfish Hunter, who was the loser, gave up another tally in the eighth, marking the first time that the ace righthander had yielded seven earned runs in one game since 1967.

Pirates 6, Braves 5 at Atlanta (day game):
A triple by Dave Parker with two out climaxed a three-run rally in the ninth inning and brought the Pirates a 6-5 victory over the Braves. Jim Rooker, who started for the Pirates, hit his first major league homer, but the Braves got three RBIs from Jerry Royster and were leading, 5-3, going into the ninth. Phil Niekro was lifted after yielding a single to Manny Sanguillen and Max Leon, in relief, retired the next two batters before singles by Richie Hebner and Al Oliver scored Sanguillen. Parker followed with his triple for the Pirates' tying and winning runs.

Cubs 8, Astros 3 at Chicago (day game):
With two intentional passes backfiring, the Cubs scored four runs in the fifth inning and defeated the Astros, 8-3. Joe Wallis singled with one away in the fifth and took third on a single by Jose Cardenal, who advanced to second on the throw. Bill Madlock was given an intentional pass, bringing up Morales, who hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Wallis and allowing two other runners to advance. The Astros then passed Pete LaCock intentionally to reload the bases and this time Manny Trillo cleared the sacks with a double.

[DH] Reds 4, Cardinals 0 (day game) / Cardinals 12, Reds 9 at Cincinnati (day game):
Shut out in the opener, 4-0, the Cardinals came slugging back to win the nightcap, 12-9, for a split of the four-game series with the Reds. Fred Norman and Will McEnaney combined to pitch the Reds' shutout, while Bob Bailey hit a two-run homer and a single. In the second contest, Don Kessinger and Lou Brock each hit a two-run homer for the Cardinals and Mike Tyson rapped two triples and a double, batting in three runs.

Dodgers 6, Expos 3 at Los Angeles (day game):
Tommy John, who missed the entire 1975 season because of an elbow operation, turned in his first complete game since June 4, 1974, and pitched the Dodgers to a 6-3 victory over the Expos. Dusty Baker batted in two runs with a single and Ron Cey accounted for two with a homer in support of the southpaw.

[DH] Padres 5, Phillies 0 (day game) / Padres 4, Phillies 3 at San Diego (day game):
Super Randy Jones pitched a 5-0 shutout for his 12th victory of the season before the Padres completed the sweep of a doubleheader by also defeating the Phillies in the second game, 4-3. Jones, the only pitcher to blank the Phils this season, doing it for a second time, yielded only six singles and made it 56 innings in a row without issuing a pass. Tito Fuentes had a double and single for the Padres, driving in two runs and scoring one. Doug Rader provided the deciding hit for the Padres in the nightcap with a bases-loaded single that plated two runs in the sixth inning.

[DH] Mets 4, Giants 2 (day game) / Mets 4, Giants 1 at San Francisco (day game):
After two unearned runs enabled the Mets to win the first game, 4-2, Tom Seaver had ninth-inning help from Skip Lockwood and beat the Giants, 4-1, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. In the opener, with the Giants leading, 2-1, Mickey Lolich and Mike Phillips both were safe on errors in the sixth inning, Felix Millan sacrificed and John Milner then singled to drive in both runners. Jerry Grote added a homer in the seventh for the clinching marker. Seaver, who retired the first 16 batters in succession, gave up the Giants' run in the ninth inning on singles by Derrel Thomas, Bobby Murcer and Gary Matthews before Lockwood relieved and retired the last batter to save the game. Grote drove in two of the Mets' runs with a double and sacrifice fly.
