Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Indians 6, Orioles 3 (day game) / Orioles 6, Indians 2 at Baltimore (night game):
George Hendrick and Buddy Bell had seven hits between them and drove in five runs to escort the Indians to a 6-3 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but Bobby Grich and Andres Mora helped bat the Orioles to a 6-2 triumph in the second game. Hendrick rapped 4-for-4, including a homer, and batted in two runs in the lidlifter, while Bell accounted for three RBIs with as many hits. Pat Dobson gained his sixth straight victory with help from Jim Kern. In the nightcap, Grich knocked in a run with a double in the first inning and scored himself on a single by Lee May. Mora hit his homer in the third. Frank Robinson smashed the 585th homer of his career in the Indians' losing cause.

Tigers 4, Red Sox 2 at Boston (day game):
Two unearned runs in the 11th inning, resulting from a wild throw by reliever Tom Murphy, enabled the Tigers to defeat the Red Sox, 4-2. With one away, John Wockenfuss singled. When Jerry Manuel bunted and Murphy threw the ball away, both runners were safe. Following a passed ball, Murphy walked Ron LeFlore intentionally to load the bases and the Tigers' two runs then ensued on an infield out by Tom Veryzer and single by Dan Meyer.

Royals 5, Angels 4 at Kansas City (night game):
After George Brett saved the Royals from defeat with a two-run homer in the ninth inning, John Mayberry singled with the bases loaded in the 11th to defeat the Angels, 5-4. Mayberry also hit a homer in the seventh. In the 11th, Jim Wohlford doubled and Amos Otis and Brett walked to fill the sacks before Mayberry singled.

[DH] Yankees 6, Brewers 2 (day game) / Yankees 10, Brewers 2 at New York (day game):
Mickey Rivers had one hit in the opener and three in the nightcap to extend his batting streak to 20 games as the Yankees defeated the Brewers in a doubleheader, 6-2 and 10-2. In the first game, the Yankees were trailing, 2-1, when they rallied for two runs in the seventh inning on a double by Willie Randolph, a pinch-hit by Thurman Munson, single by Rivers and infield out by Oscar Gamble. Three more runs in the eighth that included a sacrifice fly by Rivers clinched the verdict. In the nightcap, Graig Nettles hit two homers and drove in five runs, while Rivers scored three times. The victory went to Dick Tidrow, who made his first start since September 20, 1974.

A's 5, Twins 3 at Oakland (day game):
Averting a threatened strike by his players, owner Charlie Finley put Joe Rudi, Vida Blue and Rollie Fingers back on his roster, but only Rudi and Fingers saw action as the Athletics defeated the Twins, 5-3. Rudi, playing in left field, went hitless in four trips. Fingers relieved with two out in the sixth inning, pitched the rest of the way and picked up his ninth save of the season. Sal Bando hit a pair of homers, driving in three runs, and Gene Tenace accounted for two with a triple.

White Sox 6, Rangers 2 at Texas (night game):
The White Sox scored four runs in the fifth inning and added two more on a homer by Buddy Bell in the sixth to defeat the Rangers, 6-2. In the fourth, Jack Brohamer walked, Bell beat out a bunt and, after a groundout, both runners counted on a single by Bucky Dent. Chet Lemon tripled, driving in Dent, and scored himself on a grounder by Pat Kelly.

Mets 13, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
The Mets tied their club record for most runs in one inning, eight, while trouncing the Cubs, 13-3. After Mike Phillips led off the game with a homer, the Mets had their scoring spree in the second, including a homer by Ed Kranepool with a man on base. Dave Kingman also drove in two runs with a double.

Reds 4, Astros 2 at Houston (day game):
Fred Norman allowed only four hits in seven innings and Rawly Eastwick then completed pitching the Reds to a 4-2 victory over the Astros. Pete Rose knocked in two runs for the Reds with a single in the second inning and an error by J.R. Richard enabled them to add an unearned pair in the fourth.

Dodgers 12, Giants 8 at Los Angeles (day game):
Manny Mota singled for the 100th pinch-hit of his major league career to help the Dodgers defeat the Giants, 12-8. The Dodgers broke a 6-6 tie in the fifth inning with singles by Ed Goodson, Bill Russell and Ellie Rodriguez. Mota followed with his pinch-single for another RBI. Bobby Murcer was the Giants' big batter.

Expos 4, Pirates 3 at Montreal (night game):
Woodie Fryman, who worked 6 2/3 innings, gained credit for the 100th victory of his major league career as the Expos defeated the Pirates, 4-3. The Expos jumped on Doc Medich for three runs in the third inning on a single by Larry Parrish, walk to Pepe Mangual, double by Tim Foli, error by Willie Stargell and single by Jim Lyttle. Parrish walked in the fifth, Mangual was safe on an error and Foli singled for his third RBI of the game, providing what proved to be the Expos' winning run.

Phillies 6, Cardinals 2 at Philadelphia (day game):
The first grand-slam homer in Bob Boone's career climaxed a six-run outburst in the fourth inning and powered the Phillies to a 6-2 victory over the Cardinals. A single by Dave Cash, walk to Mike Schmidt and single by Dick Allen produced the first run and Jay Johnstone hit a ground-rule double for another tally. Then, after Garry Maddox was hit by a pitch to fill the sacks, Boone unloaded them with his slammer.

Padres 3, Braves 2 at San Diego (day game):
Andy Messersmith, winner of five straight decisions, was stopped on his streak when the Padres edged the Braves, 3-2. With the score tied, 2-2, pinch-hitter Dave Winfield drew a walk from Messersmith with one out in the ninth inning and stole second. Ted Kubiak, also pinch-hitting, walked. Johnny Grubb followed with a single, but Winfield was thrown out at the plate. However, Kubiak moved to third on the play and scored the winning run when Tito Fuentes singled.
