Today's scores and summaries:

Brewers 9, Angels 0 at California (night game):
The league leader in earned run average, Bill Travers lowered his mark to 1.59 by pitching the Brewers to a 9-0 victory over the Angels. The southpaw yielded only three hits. Hank Aaron drove in two runs with the 749th homer of his major league career.

Orioles 10, White Sox 2 at Chicago (night game):
Making his 13th start, Mike Cuellar finally turned in his first complete game of the season and pitched the Orioles to a 10-2 victory over the White Sox. Doug DeCinces and Lee May made it easy for Cuellar, each hitting a three-run homer.

Tigers 4, Royals 3 at Detroit (night game):
Victims of a two-run rally in the ninth inning, the Royals were stopped on their seven-game winning streak by the Tigers, 4-3. Dan Meyer opened the frame with a single, advanced to second after Rusty Staub flied out and scored on a single by Alex Johnson to tie the score at 3-3. Johnson then stole second and, after an intentional pass to Aurelio Rodriguez, Mickey Stanley batted for Bruce Kimm and singled to drive in the Tigers' winning run.

Yankees 9, Twins 4 at Minnesota (night game):
Graig Nettles homered to spark a three-run outburst in the second inning and Oscar Gamble hit for the circuit with two men on base in the seventh when the Yankees added four more runs to clinch a 9-4 victory over the Twins.

A's 4, Red Sox 1 at Oakland (night game):
Claudell Washington, who entered the game with a .217 average, smashed a homer and single, driving in four runs, to lead the Athletics to a 4-1 win over the Red Sox. Paul Mitchell posted the decision on a three-hitter. Joe Rudi and Rollie Fingers, whom A's owner Charlie Finley had sold to the Red Sox, practiced before the game but then changed into street clothes because Commissioner Bowie Kuhn had ordered a hearing on the deal to be held in New York June 17.

Indians 9, Rangers 4 at Texas (night game):
With a triple and homer, Buddy Bell batted in four runs to lead the Indians to a 9-4 victory, handing Bert Blyleven his third straight loss since the Rangers obtained the righthander in a deal with the Twins. Bell knocked in one run with his triple and three with his homer.

Cubs 5, Reds 3 at Cincinnati (day game):
A five-run splurge in the first inning enabled the Cubs to defeat the Reds, 5-3, in a game called because of rain in the bottom of the seventh. Singles by Joe Wallis, Jose Cardenal and Bill Madlock produced the Cubs' first tally before a single by Manny Trillo and double by Steve Swisher added a pair apiece.

Pirates 6, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
A three-run homer by Al Oliver provided the game-winning blow for the Pirates, who defeated the Astros, 6-3. The Pirates picked up a run in the first inning on singles by Frakn Taveras and Willie Stargell around a stolen base before Oliver delivered his round-tripper in the third. Two more runs driven in by Richie Hebner and Dave Parker clinched matters in the fifth.

Dodgers 4, Mets 1 at New York (night game):
Scoring all their runs in the seventh inning, the Dodgers defeated the Mets, 4-1. After Steve Garvey, Ron Cey and Dusty Baker led off with singles, two runs scored when Bill Russell singled. Ted Sizemore then doubled to add another pair, sealing the defeat for the Mets.

Phillies 6, Giants 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Dick Allen batted in two runs with a single and drove in two more with a homer, while Jim Kaat yielded only four hits, as the Phillies defeated the Giants, 6-1.

Padres 6, Expos 2 at San Diego (day game):
Dave Winfield, Merv Rettenmund and Mike Ivie drove in two runs apiece to account for all of the Padres' scoring in a 6-2 victory over the Expos. A bases-loaded single by Winfield and double by Rettenmund produced four runs in the third inning before Ivie homered with a man on base in the fifth.

Cardinals 4, Braves 3 at St. Louis (night game):
On the brink of another defeat, the Cardinals rallied for two runs in the ninth inning and edged the Braves, 4-3. Willie Crawford walked and Hector Cruz sacrificed. Willie Montanez booted a grounder by Mike Tyson, putting runners on first and third. Vic Harris singled, scoring Lou Brock, who ran for Crawford. After a walk to Don Kessinger loaded the bases, Bake McBride singled to drive in the winning run.
