Today's scores and summaries:

Brewers 3, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (day game):
With Bill Travers pitching a three-hitter, the Brewers completed a sweep of the four-game series by defeating the Orioles, 3-1. The Brewers scored twice in the second inning on four walks, a wild pitch and single by Tim Johnson before Paul Blair homered for the Orioles' lone tally in the fifth. Robin Yount's RBI single clinched matters for the Brewers in the eighth.

Angels 7, Rangers 3 at California (day game):
A grand slam by Leroy Stanton in 11th inning for his first homer of the season powered the Angels to a 7-3 victory over the Rangers. Terry Humphrey singled and moved around to third on a sacrifice and infield out before the Rangers decided to pass Jerry Remy and Bobby Bonds intentionally, but their hopes of setting up a forceout at the plate were shattered with Stanton's smash off Steve Foucault.

[DH] Twins 13, White Sox 8 (day game) / White Sox 7, Twins 4 at Chicago (day game):
A triple play and bases-loaded triple by pinch-hitter Rod Carew featured the Twins' 13-8 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but then their five-game winning streak was stopped by the White Sox in the nightcap, 7-4. Carew hit his triple during a five-run outburst in the sixth inning. Mike Cubbage and Roy Smalley also accounted for three RBIs apiece, while Jorge Orta drove in five runs for the White Sox. In the first inning, after Orta singled to drive in two runs, Jim Spencer beat out an infield hit. Bill Stein, attempting to sacrifice, popped to catcher Glenn Borgmann and a triple play followed. Borgmann threw to shortstop Luis Gomez, who stepped on second to double up Orta and then tagged Spencer, who was on his way to the bag. The White Sox won the nightcap with a four-run rally in the seventh inning, including a pinch-homer by Lamar Johnson with two aboard.

[DH] Tigers 9, Indians 1 (day game) / Tigers 5, Indians 4 at Cleveland (day game):
After winning the first game with ease, 9-1, the Tigers built up a 5-1 lead in the second game and had to hold on to gain a a 5-4 victory in a sweep of a doubleheader with the Indians. Pedro Garcia, John Wockenfuss and Aurelio Rodriguez each drove in two runs for the Tigers in the opener. Wockenfuss and Garcia rapped homers. In the nightcap, the Tigers scored three runs in the third inning and added a pair in the fifth when Willie Horton and Rodriguez singled and Garcia tripled. Dave Lemanczyk retired the first 13 Indians' batters in a row before being chased in the seventh. John Hiller, who had pitched in the opener, relieved again and gave up a run-scoring bunt by Duane Kuiper and bases-loaded walk to Frank Robinson before bearing down to save the Tigers' decision.

Yankees 6, Red Sox 5 at New York (day game):
Relieving with two out in the ninth inning, Tom House threw only one pitch and Chris Chambliss hit it for a three-run homer to give the Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox. Elrod Hendricks led off the stanza with a single and stopped at third on a double by Mickey Rivers. Tom Murphy retired the next two batters. The Red Sox then brought in southpaw House to face lefthanded-hitting Chambliss with fatal results.

A's 9, Royals 2 at Oakland (day game):
After exploding for seven runs in the first inning, the Athletics breezed to a 9-2 victory over the Royals. Ken McMullen smashed a two-run triple and Phil Garner followed with a two-run homer in the A's getaway. Gene Tenace added a homer in the third inning.

Reds 7, Braves 6 at Atlanta (night game):
After the Reds tied the score with a homer by George Foster in the eighth inning, baserunning by Johnny Bench gave the Reds another run to defeat the Braves, 7-6. The Braves scored five runs in the second and took a 5-2 lead. The Reds came back to tie the score, but the Braves went ahead, 6-5, on a homer by Jim Wynn in the seventh. Foster equalized matters with his circuit clout in the eighth. After one out, Bench beat out a bunt, took third on a single by Cesar Geronimo and made a daring dash home when first baseman Willie Montanez of the Braves went deep to catch a pop fly by Doug Flynn in foul territory.

Astros 1, Giants 0 at Houston (day game):
Making his second start since coming up from Memphis, Bo McLaughlin turned in his first major league victory and first shutout, beating the Giants, 1-0, in a 10-inning duel with Ed Halicki. A single by Ed Herrmann and two walks, one intentional, loaded the bases before Greg Gross decided the game with a sacrifice fly.

Expos 2, Mets 1 at Montreal (day game):
Batting with the bases loaded and one out, Andre Thornton singled for an Expos' run in the ninth inning to beat the Mets, 2-1. The Mets picked up their run in the first and the Expos tied the score with a homer by Tim Foli in the second. Ellis Valentine opened the ninth with a double and moved to third when Bombo Rivera grounded out. Jerry Koosman then walked Larry Parrish and Jose Morales intentionally, but that strategy went awry when Thornton rapped his single past the Mets' drawn-in infield.

Phillies 13, Pirates 7 at Philadelphia (day game):
Mike Schmidt drove in four runs with three hits, including his 26th homer, and Ollie Brown batted in four more with a grand slam as the Phillies defeated the Pirates, 13-7. The Pirates, who had a round-tripper by Willie Stargell, knocked out Jim Kaat and tied the score at 7-7 with a four-run rally in the eighth inning. The Phillies immediately retaliated with six runs in their half. Schmidt singled to break the tie and, after two more hits loaded the bases, Brown connected for his jackpot wallop.

Dodgers 1, Padres 0 at San Diego (day game):
Bill Russell singled in the seventh inning, stole second and scored on a double by Lee Lacy to bring the Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the Padres. Dave Freisleben, whose record dropped to 6-8, suffered his sixth straight defeat, while Doug Rau won his 10th of the season for the Dodgers and his fourth in a row.

Cardinals 4, Cubs 3 at St. Louis (day game):
Lynn McGlothen and Al Hrabosky combined to pitch the Cardinals to a 4-3 victory over the Cubs. All four Cardinal runs off Rick Reuschel were unearned on two errors by Manny Trillo. McGlothen allowed only one hit until the eighth when the Cubs erupted to chase the Cards' starter with a run on a single by Mick Kelleher, double by Pete LaCock and single by Larry Biittner. Singles by Jose Cardenal and Jerry Morales then added two tallies before Al Hrabosky bore down to pick up his 10th save.
