Today's scores and summaries:

Brewers 10, Angels 9 at California (day game):
Taking advantage of three errors, the Brewers scored five unearned runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Angels, 10-9. Joe Rudi homered with a man on base for the Angels, who were locked in a 5-5 tie before two errors by Tony Solaita and one by Ike Hampton helped the Brewers score in their big inning. Solaita made partial amends with a two-run homer in the Angels' half of the eighth and Don Baylor narrowed the gap with another two-run smash in the ninth before Bill Castro saved the game for the Brewers.

[DH] Yankees 10, Indians 1 (day game) / Yankees 7, Indians 1 at Cleveland (day game):
The Yankees extended their winning streak to five games with a 10-1 and 7-1 sweep of a doubleheader with the Indians, who were going the other way with six consecutive defeats. Chris Chambliss knocked in six runs with a bases-loaded double and homer to lead the Yankees' attack in the opener. Roy White hit a homer and Graig Nettles and Willie Randolph drove in two runs apiece to highlight the scoring in the nightcap.

[DH] Orioles 3, Tigers 1 (day game) / Tigers 2, Orioles 1 at Detroit (day game):
Backed by three homers, Jim Palmer pitched the Orioles to a 3-1 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Tigers came back to win the second game, 2-1, on a two-run smash by Mickey Stanley. Tom Shopay homered for the Orioles in the fourth inning of the opener, and in the sixth Ken Singleton and Lee May connected for the circuit on consecutive pitches thrown by Dave Roberts. Palmer was stopped on his string of 23 straight scoreless innings when Aurelio Rodriguez homered in the Tigers' half of the sixth. In the nightcap, the Orioles scored their run in the third inning on singles by Kiko Garcia and Billy Smith around a sacrifice, but the Tigers gained their victory when Jason Thompson walked and Stanley smashed his round-tripper off Mike Flanagan in the fifth.

[DH] White Sox 12, A's 5 (day game) / A's 11, White Sox 4 at Oakland (day game):
Nine homers punctuated a doubleheader that saw the White Sox win the first game, 12-5, and the Athletics take the second game, 11-4. Chet Lemon and Ralph Garr each homered with two men on and Royle Stillman added a solo swat for the White Sox in the opener. The A's had round-trippers by Dick Allen and Earl Williams. In the nightcap, Wayne Gross hit a homer, double and two singles for the A's and drove in four runs, while Mitchell Page had a homer and pair of singles to account for three RBIs. Manny Sanguillen contributed a double and three singles to the A's 14-hit attack. Richie Zisk and Eric Soderholm hit homers for the White Sox.

[DH] Royals 16, Mariners 1 (day game) / Mariners 4, Royals 2 at Seattle (day game):
After being bombed, 16-1, in the first game of a doubleheader, the Mariners came back to gain a split by defeating the Royals in the second game, 4-2. Al Cowens hit a three-run homer and Fred Patek drove in three runs with a double in the opener, while Hal McRae also accounted for three RBIs with four hits in five trips. The Mariners avoided a shutout with a homer by Craig Reynolds in the eighth inning. Leroy Stanton singled in the first to open the scoring for the Mariners in the nightcap. After the Royals went ahead, 2-1, Stanton homered in the sixth. Bill Stein followed with a single and Joe Lis walked. After Ruppert Jones forced Stein, Reynolds and Jose Baez hit run-scoring singles to provide the Mariners with their winning margin.

Twins 12, Rangers 6 at Texas (day game):
Larry Hisle hit a grand-slam homer and Rich Chiles drove in four runs with three singles as the Twins defeated the Rangers, 12-6. Hisle's slam climaxed a seven-run outburst in the fourth inning and came on top of four singles, including one by Chiles, and two walks. The Rangers went into the slugging act too late with homers by Ken Henderson, Mike Hargrove and Toby Harrah in the eighth.

Red Sox 9, Blue Jays 0 at Toronto (day game):
Fergie Jenkins allowed only three hits while pitching the Red Sox to a 9-0 victory over the Blue Jays. George Scott smashed a homer and double, driving in two runs, and Dwight Evans also accounted for a pair with a homer.

Dodgers 16, Braves 6 at Atlanta (day game):
A grand slam by Ron Cey, who also drove in another run with a double, paced a 16-hit attack as the Dodgers overpowered the Braves, 16-6, in a slugfest that featured nine homers. Steve Garvey, Dusty Baker, Lee Lacy and Charlie Hough also homered for the Dodgers, while the Braves had round-trippers by Jerry Royster, Jeff Burroughs, Willie Montanez and Gary Matthews.

Cubs 7, Reds 1 at Chicago (day game):
The Cubs knocked out Woodie Fryman before the veteran lefthander could retire any batters and scored five runs to start on their way to a 7-1 victory over the Reds. Singles by Ivan DeJesus, Jose Cardenal and Bill Buckner accounted for the first run before Bobby Murcer and Jerry Morales hit successive home runs to rout the Cincinnati starter. The Reds wasted 13 hits.

Astros 9, Padres 8 at Houston (day game):
Making up for his error, Rob Sperring drove in a run with a single in the 10th inning to enable the Astros to defeat the Padres, 9-8, ending an eight-game losing streak. Sperring's error accounted for an unearned run in the ninth when the Padres scored three times to take an 8-7 lead. The Astros knotted the count in their half on a sacrifice fly by Cesar Cedeno for his first RBI of the season and won in the 10th when Bob Watson singled, Joe Ferguson walked and Sperring hit his run-scoring single.

Giants 6, Expos 5 at Montreal (day game):
Showing new life at 39, Willie McCovey hit his fourth homer of the season for the Giants, who defeated the Expos, 6-5. McCovey connected with a man on base in the fourth inning.

Phillies 6, Cardinals 3 at Philadelphia (day game):
After giving up a three-run homer by Ted Simmons in the first inning, Steve Carlton blanked the Cardinals the rest of the way and pitched the Phillies to a 6-3 victory. The Phillies tied the score in the fifth with successive homers by Garry Maddox and Larry Bowa, a single by Mike Schmidt and double by Greg Luzinski. A walk to Tim McCarver, triple by Fred Andrews and double by Maddox made it 5-3 in the sixth and the final run counted in the seventh on singles by Schmidt, Luzinski and Bobby Tolan.
