Today's scores and summaries:

Yankees 3, White Sox 2 at Chicago (night game):
Thurman Munson, who opened the ninth inning with a double, scored the winning run on a throwing error by Jack Brohamer when the Yankees beat the White Sox, 3-2. Brohamer erred trying to throw out Chris Chambliss after a drag bunt.

[DH] Indians 3, A's 2 (night game) / A's 10, Indians 3 at Cleveland (night game):
The Indians and Athletics divided a twi-night doubleheader, the Tribe taking the opener, 3-2, and the A's winning the nightcap, 10-3. Ray Fosse doubled in the seventh inning and scored the winning run of the first game on Frank Duffy's single. Don Baylor had three hits and drove in three runs while Billy Williams pounded a two-run homer to power the A's to their second-game victory.

Orioles 4, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
A two-run homer by Reggie Jackson and the pitching of Jim Palmer carried the Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Royals. Palmer needed help from reliever Tippy Martinez in the eighth before becoming the American League's first 13-game winner. George Brett, with two doubles and two singles, had four hits in a game for the fifth time this season.

[DH] Angels 4, Brewers 2 (night game) / Angels 6, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
