Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 6, Orioles 5 at Baltimore (night game):
The Indians, who failed to hold 3-0 and 5-4 leads, pushed over a run in the ninth inning and defeated the Orioles, 6-5. Charlie Spikes homered for the Indians and Reggie Jackson for the Orioles, who tied the score in the seventh on a run-scoring single by Dave Duncan. But in the ninth, Larvell Blanks, who scored three times in the game, crossed the plate with the Indians' deciding run on a single by George Hendrick.

Tigers 6, Red Sox 2 at Boston (night game):
After Ron LeFlore drove in the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning, Aurelio Rodriguez smashed a three-run homer in the ninth to clinch the Tigers' 6-2 victory over the Red Sox. Pedro Garcia singled, stole second and crossed the plate on LeFlore's single. Rusty Staub and Alex Johnson both singled ahead of Rodriguez' homer.

Royals 6, Angels 3 at Kansas City (night game):
John Mayberry, entering the game with only one hit in his last 19 times at bat, belted two homers and drove in five runs as the Royals ended their five-game losing streak by defeating the Angels, 6-3.

Yankees 1, Brewers 0 at New York (night game):
Dock Ellis pitched the first shutout of his A. L. career with the Yankees and Mickey Rivers smashed a homer off Bill Travers in the sixth inning to beat the Brewers, 1-0. Rivers, who also had a single in four trips, batted safely in his 17th straight game.

A's 5, Twins 2 at Oakland (night game):
Pinch-hitting in the ninth inning, Ken McMullen came through with a three-run homer to lift the Athletics to a 5-2 victory over the Twins. On the short end of a 2-1 score going into the final frame, the A's started with a walk to Billy Williams, who gave way on the paths to Matt Alexander. After taking third on a single by Sal Bando, Alexander was out at the plate trying to score on a grounder by Gene Tenace. Claudell Washington, however, singled, plating Bando to tie the score, and McMullen then tore into Bill Campbell's first pitch to him for the eighth pinch-hit homer of his major league career.

[DH] Rangers 8, White Sox 4 (night game) / White Sox 14, Rangers 9 at Texas (night game):
Toby Harrah smashed a grand slam in the first game, another homer in the second game and collected six hits in eight trips, accounting for eight RBIs, but the best the Rangers could do was split a twi-night doubleheader, winning the opener from the White Sox, 8-4, and losing the nightcap, 14-9. The Rangers were behind in the lidlifter, 4-3, until the ninth inning when a walk, hit batsman and single by Lenny Randle tied the score. After an intentional pass to Jim Fregosi, Harrah won the game with his slam. In the second game, the White Sox had three big innings, scoring four runs in the second, five in the sixth and four in the ninth, but eight of their 14 runs were unearned.

Mets 7, Cubs 4 at Chicago (day game):
Mike Phillips hit for the cycle and Dave Kingman drove in four runs with a homer and single as the Mets defeated the Cubs, 7-4. Kingman's homer, No. 24 for the mammoth slugger, put the Mets ahead, 3-1, in the third inning, but the Cubs came back to tie before Phillips tripled and crossed the plate on an error by Manny Trillo in the fifth. Phillips homered with a man on base in the seventh and Kingman singled for his fourth RBI in the same stanza.

Reds 8, Astros 6 at Houston (night game):
Dan Driessen drove in five runs with three hits and Pedro Borbon pitched five sterling innings of relief to enable the Reds to outlast the Astros, 8-6. Driessen batted in his first two runs with a pair of singles, walked with the bases loaded for another RBI and concluded his big night at bat with a two-run double. The Astros hit four homers, the first three by Leon Roberts, Enos Cabell and Bob Watson coming off Reds' starter Rich Hinton. After Borbon took over, the Astros' lone run in the last four frames came on Watson's second homer of the game.

Giants 1, Dodgers 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Deciding a duel between Ed Halicki and Burt Hooton, the Giants scored in the ninth inning and defeated the Dodgers, 1-0. Derrel Thomas led off with a single and, one out later, Bobby Murcer walked. Then, with two out, Chris Speier singled for the only run.

Pirates 9, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
Willie Stargell and Richie Hebner knocked in seven runs between them to make it easy for the Pirates to defeat the Expos, 9-2. Stargell batted in two runs with a double in the first inning and Hebner accounted for one with a single. Hebner then homered with a man on base in the third, while Stargell produced two more runs with singles in the sixth and eighth innings.

Phillies 12, Cardinals 4 at Philadelphia (night game):
Greg Luzinski homered with a man on base in the first inning and Dick Allen came through later with two circuit clouts, accounting for four runs, as the Phillies trounced the Cardinals, 12-4. After Luzinski's initial blast, Allen homered in the fourth. The Phillies then loaded the bases and scored four more runs on singles by Dave Cash and Mike Schmidt. Allen hit his second homer of the game with two men on base in the eighth.

Braves 4, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Two runs on a triple by Rod Gilbreath in the third inning and two more on a homer by Ken Henderson in the fourth enabled the Braves to defeat the Padres, 4-1.
