Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 1, Brewers 0 at California (night game):
Nolan Ryan pitched a two-hitter and Bobby Bonds drove in the only run of the game as the Angels defeated the Brewers, 1-0. Ryan's duel with Jim Colborn was decided in the seventh inning when Bob Jones and Dave Chalk singled and Andy Etchebarren walked to load the bases for Bonds' deciding single.

Orioles 4, White Sox 0 at Chicago (night game):
Ending their nine-game losing streak, the Orioles got five-hit pitching from Jim Palmer and shut out the White Sox, 4-0. Mark Belanger and Lee May divided up the RBIs, Belanger accounting for two with a pair of doubles and May hitting a homer with a man on base.

Royals 21, Tigers 7 at Detroit (night game):
The Royals set a club record with 24 hits while slaughtering the Tigers, 21-7, in a game halted by rain in the top half of the ninth inning after Tom Poquette and Jamie Quirk each doubled with none out to account for Kaycee's last two hits and their last run. Poquette also had another double, plus two singles and an inside-the-park homer in the Royals' barrage, while Amos Otis drove in five runs and Dave Nelson accounted for four.

Yankees 4, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Capping a 4-for-4 night, Thurman Munson drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the seventh inning to give the Yankees a 4-2 victory over the Twins. Before providing the Yanks' winning margin, Munson tied the score at 2-2 with a homer in the sixth.

A's 3, Red Sox 2 at Oakland (night game):
After owner Charlie Finley sold Vida Blue to Yankees, Glenn Abbott became a last-minute starter and pitched eight innings as the Athletics defeated the Red Sox, 3-2, with the aid of two homers by Gene Tenace. Paul Lindblad worked the final frame in relief of Abbott and was the winner. Tenace hit his first round-tripper of the game in the fifth inning, but the Red Sox went ahead in the eighth when Jim Rice singled and Carlton Fisk homered. The Athletics picked up an unearned run to tie the score in their half before Tenace broke the deadlock with his second circuit clout in the ninth.

Rangers 3, Indians 2 at Texas (night game):
Gaylord Perry moved into sixth place on the major leagues' all-time strikeout list with a total of 2,586 by fanning six while pitching the Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Indians. In his advance on the list, Perry passed Hall of Famers Bob Feller and Warren Spahn. A double by Gene Clines, single by Mike Hargrove and double by Toby Harrah produced the Rangers' first two runs in the game. After the Indians tied the score, the Rangers put over the deciding marker in the third inning when Clines doubled again and Hargrove singled.

Reds 6, Cubs 4 at Cincinnati (night game):
Pinch-hitting in the eighth inning, Bob Bailey singled to spark a three-run rally that brought the Reds a 6-4 victory over the Cubs. Johnny Bench drew a pass to open the stanza and gave way to Ed Armbrister. Cesar Geronimo singled and, after a sacrifice by Dave Concepcion, Bailey hit his single to break a 3-3 tie. Pete Rose and Joe Morgan followed with subsequent singles to add two more runs to the Reds' total.

Mets 2, Dodgers 1 at New York (night game):
Dave Kingman scored one run and drove in another to enable the Mets to edge the Dodgers, 2-1, in a duel between Jon Matlack and Burt Hooton. The Dodgers picked up the initial run of the game on a single by Ted Sizemore in the seventh inning, but the Mets tied the score in their half on a double by Kingman, an infield out and single by Wayne Garrett. Then in the eighth, Bud Harrelson bunted safely and came around to score the deciding run on a sacrifice by Felix Millan, long fly by John Milner and single by Kingman.

Phillies 10, Giants 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Three runs in the first inning and five more in the second made it easy for the Phillies to breeze to a 10-2 victory over the Giants. Jay Johnstone knocked in two runs in the first with a bases-loaded single and did it again in the second. Garry Maddox homered with two men on base and then joined Johnstone in the four-RBI ranks with a run-scoring single in the fourth.

Padres 2, Expos 1 at San Diego (night game):
Alan Foster doled out six hits in his second complete game of the season and pitched the Padres to a 2-1 victory over the Expos. Gary Roenicke hit his first major league homer for the Expos' run in the third inning. After Tito Fuentes drove in the tying tally with a double in the fifth, Dave Winfield doubled in the next stanza, advanced on an infield out and scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Gene Locklear.

Braves 5, Cardinals 4 at St. Louis (night game):
Dick Ruthven won his own game with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning as the Braves defeated the Cardinals, 5-4. Willie Montanez, making his first plate appearance after being acquired from the Giants, drove in the Braves' first run with a single in the opening frame. Earl Williams homered in the second and Ken Henderson doubled home two runs in the fifth before a double by Darrel Chaney and single by Ruthven provided the Braves' deciding marker in the sixth.
