Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 2, Indians 1 at Baltimore (day game):
After being given a two-run lead by his Orioles' teammates in the first inning, Wayne Garland defeated the Indians, 2-1, for his eighth win without a loss. The Orioles capitalized on three stolen bases in their scoring. Al Bumbry led off with a single and pilfered second. After Paul Blair walked, both runners pulled a double steal. Reggie Jackson then grounded out, scoring Bumbry, and Lee May singled to drive in Blair. The Indians' run came in the sixth and was batted in by Buddy Bell.

Red Sox 2, Tigers 1 at Boston (day game):
Rico Petrocelli batted in both runs to enable the Red Sox to edge the Tigers, 2-1. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on a single by Tom Veryzer, double by Ben Oglivie and sacrifice fly by Jason Thompson, but Petrocelli singled to drive in Carl Yastrzemski with the tying tally in the home half. Then in the ninth, Bobby Darwin doubled and gave way to pinch-runner Rick Miller, who advanced to third on a long fly by Yastrzemski to right field and scored the winning run on Petrocelli's fly to center field.

Royals 3, Angels 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Marty Pattin, making his first start since last September 6, combined with Steve Mingori on a one-hitter as the Royals defeated the Angels, 3-0. Dave Collins beat out a bunt in the sixth inning for the Angels' only safety. Pattin was removed after walking Collins with two out in the eighth and Mingori retired the last four batters.

Yankees 6, Brewers 3 at New York (day game):
Elrod Hendricks hit his first homer in a Yankee uniform and drove in another run with a sacrifice fly, while Chris Chambliss also batted in two runs with a double and single, in a 6-3 victory over the Brewers. Mickey Rivers had two hits for the Yankees, extending his batting streak to 18 games.

Twins 11, A's 3 at Oakland (day game):
Rod Carew, who is in his 10th season with the Twins, winning five A. L. batting championships, smashed the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to feature an 11-3 rout of the Athletics. Carew, who hit his jackpot wallop in the second inning, also drove in another run with a double and added a single to give him three hits in five trips, raising his average to .327.

Rangers 1, White Sox 0 at Texas (night game):
Bert Blyleven pitched his second straight 10-inning shutout for the Rangers, scattering 10 hits and defeating the White Sox, 1-0. With one out in the overtime frame, Toby Harrah singled and took second on a wild pitch by Ken Brett. After an intentional pass to Jeff Burroughs, Jim Fregosi batted for Dave Moates and singled to drive in the winning run. In his last previous start June 21, Blyleven also shut out the Athletics, 1-0, in 10 innings.

Mets 10, Cubs 2 at Chicago (day game):
John Milner smashed a grand slam and Dave Kingman clouted his 25th homer of the season in the third inning when the Mets exploded for six runs en route to a 10-2 victory over the Cubs. Bill Bonham, who started for the Cubs, retired the first seven Mets before the roof fell in. Jerry Grote singled and Jerry Koosman and Mike Phillips walked to load the bases before Felix Millan singled to drive in the first run. Milner followed with his slam and on Bonham's next pitch, Kingman drove the ball completely out of Wrigley Field.

Astros 3, Reds 0 at Houston (night game):
Jose Cruz drove in three runs with a double in the first inning and that was more than Joaquin Andujar needed to pitch the Astros to a 3-0 victory over the Reds. The stage for Cruz' double was set when Reds' starter Pat Zachry walked three men to load the bases before Cruz came to the plate.

Giants 4, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Consecutive homers by Gary Matthews and Bobby Murcer leading off the ninth inning powered the Giants to a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers. Davey Lopes, who had been out for 11 days with an injury, returned to the Dodgers' lineup and scored their first run after drawing a walk and stealing second in the opening frame. Chris Speier put the Giants ahead with a two-run single in the fourth, but the Dodgers pulled even in their half on a double by Reggie Smith, infield out by Bill Russell and sacrifice fly by Lee Lacy.

Pirates 7, Expos 6 at Montreal (night game):
Two throwing errors in the eighth inning enabled the Pirates to score the run that defeated the Expos, 7-6. Bombo Rivera hit an inside-the-park homer for the first grand slam of his major league career to enable the Expos to tie the score at 4-4 in the third. After each club picked up a pair of singletons to effect another deadlock, Al Oliver doubled for the Pirates in the eighth and took third on a wild pickoff attempt by Dale Murray. Willie Stargell then flied out in left field foul territory and when Pepe Mangual threw the ball over catcher Barry Foote's head, Oliver scored the winning run.

Cardinals 3, Phillies 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Pitching three scoreless innings in relief, Al Hrabosky gained the victory when the Cardinals pushed over a run in the 10th to defeat the Phillies, 3-2. The Phillies counted their pair off Bob Forsch in the fourth, but the Cardinals came back to tie in the seventh on doubles by Jerry Mumphrey and Ted Simmons around a single by Bake McBride. In the 10th, Joe Ferguson hustled out a double and gave way to pinch-runner Lee Richard. Mike Anderson sacrificed. Mike Tyson then flied to Greg Luzinski and Richard beat the left fielder's throw to the plate.

[DH] Padres 9, Braves 7 (night game) / Braves 7, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
Jerry Turner, Padres' rookie outfielder, collected three hits in three official trips and drove in four runs, the last two coming on his first major league homer in the eighth inning, to beat the Braves, 9-7, in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader. However, the Braves came back to win the nightcap, 7-3, with the aid of three RBIs by Earl Williams. In the lidlifter, Willie McCovey drove in three runs and Turner batted in two with a double to stake the Padres to a 7-1 lead before the Braves knocked out Randy Jones and tied the score in the eighth. After three hits, a walk and a hit batsman produced the Braves' first three runs in the outburst, Butch Metzger replaced Jones and, on his first pitch, Ken Henderson hammered a three-run homer to tie the score. However, in the Padres' half, with Mike Marshall on the mound for the Braves, Johnny Grubb walked and Turner hit his maiden homer. In the nightcap, Williams hit a homer for the Braves in the fourth inning to tie the score at 3-3 and then drove in a pair with a single in the fifth when the Braves scored four times to gain their split for the night.
