Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 5, Red Sox 3 at California (night game):
Nolan Ryan struck out 15 batters for his season's high and Bob Jones, Angels' rookie outfielder, hit the first two homers of his major league career to feature a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox. Ryan struck out every Red Sox batter at least once, except for Denny Doyle. Jones drove in four runs, hitting each of his homers with a man on base. Bobby Bonds also hit for the circuit, marking the first time that the Angels had come up with three homers in one game since May 15.

Yankees 4, White Sox 3 at Chicago (night game):
A suicide squeeze bunt by Lou Piniella in the eighth inning capped the Yankees' scoring and extended their winning streak to five games with a 4-3 victory over the White Sox, who lost their ninth straight. Trailing at the start of the eighth inning, 3-2, the Yankees tied the score with consecutive singles by Mickey Rivers, Roy White and Thurman Munson before Piniella, batting for Carlos May, bunted down the third base line to score White with what proved to be the winning run.

Indians 3, Royals 0 at Cleveland (night game):
Pat Dobson allowed only one hit in seven innings before leaving the mound because of a rib injury and Jim Kern then finished pitching the Indians to a 3-0 victory over the Royals. The triumph was the fifth in a row for Dobson. Buddy Bell had a double and single for the Indians, hitting safely in his 13th straight game.

Twins 6, Tigers 4 at Minnesota (day game):
After Pete Redfern pitched six innings, allowing five hits and one run, Bill Campbell struggled through the last three frames as the Twins defeated the Tigers, 6-4. The Twins had a 5-1 lead when Redfern departed, but Campbell put the game in danger by throwing up a three-run homer to Jason Thompson in the eighth. However, the Twins came back with the clinching tally in their half on a single by Rod Carew and double by Dan Ford.

A's 7, Brewers 4 at Oakland (day game):
Although Hank Aaron hit the 751st homer of his career and fourth in the last six games, plus a double and single, the Brewers lost to the Athletics, 7-4. The A's had back-to-back homers by Don Baylor and Billy Williams in the first inning before exploding for four runs in the fifth, sending 10 men to the plate and getting singles by Claudell Washington, Phil Garner and Bill North, a double by Bert Campaneris, sacrifice fly by Larry Haney and an error by George Scott.

Orioles 8, Rangers 4 at Texas (night game):
Lee May and Andres Mora, who had homered in the previous night's game, did it again, but this time back to back in the seventh inning, as the Orioles defeated the Rangers, 8-4, behind the six-hit pitching of Jim Palmer. Al Bumbry was on base with a single when May homered to put the Orioles ahead, 4-3. Mora's following smash then decided the outcome, but the Orioles went on to add another run in the eighth and two on a homer by Brooks Robinson in the ninth.

[DH] Braves 9, Cubs 3 (night game) / Braves 12, Cubs 5 at Atlanta (night game):
Although Andy Messersmith yielded 10 hits and Phil Niekro allowed 12, each had slugging support and was able to come up with a victory when the Braves defeated the Cubs in a twi-night doubleheader, 9-3 and 12-5. Messersmith, in winning his fourth straight game in the opener, had the backing of a three-run homer by Jerry Royster and a pair of solo swats by Willie Montanez. Jim Wynn hit for the circuit twice and drove in five runs to support Niekro in the nightcap. Rowland Office hit safely in each half of the twinbill to extend his batting streak to 24 straight games.

Expos 2, Dodgers 1 at Montreal (day game):
Losing after seven innings, 1-0, the Expos tied the score in the eighth and then put over another run in the ninth to defeat the Dodgers, 2-1. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the fourth and picked up their run on a walk to Henry Cruz, forcing in Ron Cey. The Expos caught up in the eighth on a single by Tim Foli, sacrifice by Pete Mackanin and single by Jim Cox, scoring pinch-runner Jim Lyttle. Then in the ninth with one out, Jose Morales singled and was replaced on the paths by Mike Jorgensen, who stole second. Barry Foote walked and was forced by Pepe Frias, Jorgensen taking third. Mackanin then singled to drive in the winning run.

Giants 5, Mets 0 at New York (day game):
Posting his first shutout of the season, Jim Barr pitched the Giants to a 5-0 victory over the Mets. His route-going performance was only the seventh to the credit of the Giants' staff in 66 games. Marty Perez led the Giants' attack with three hits, driving in three runs.

Reds 4, Phillies 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
With relief help from Rawly Eastwick, who pitched the last two innings, Gary Nolan gained his fourth straight victory when the Reds defeated the Phillies, 4-3. Mike Schmidt hit his 19th homer for the Phillies to tie the score at 3-3 in the sixth inning, but the Reds put over the deciding run in the next stanza when George Foster tripled and Tony Perez hit a sacrifice fly.

Cardinals 1, Padres 0 at St. Louis (night game):
An infield hit by Mike Tyson, together with singles by Bake McBride and Don Kessinger, produced a run in the fifth inning and provided the Cardinals with a 1-0 victory over the Padres. The shutout marked the third straight time that the Padres had failed to score while loser Brent Strom was on the mound. The Padres, who were held to four hits by John Curtis, threatened with one out in the ninth when Willie Davis singled and Dave Winfield walked, but Bill Greif put down the threat.
