Today's scores and summaries:

Yankees 4, Angels 1 at California (night game):
Graig Nettles hit homers in two successive times at bat and drove in three of the Yankees' runs in a 4-1 victory over the Angels. Don Gullett held the Angels to four hits. The Angels, who were blanked by Ed Figueroa in the previous night's game, 3-0, avoided a second successive shutout by scoring in the ninth inning on a pass to Joe Rudi and singles by Bobby Bonds and Ron Jackson.

White Sox 18, Indians 2 at Chicago (day game):
Jim Spencer tied the White Sox club record for most RBIs in one game by driving in eight runs with two homers and a single in an 18-2 trouncing of the Indians. The White Sox piled up seven runs in the second inning. Spencer, who batted twice, homered with a man on base in his first trip and plated two more runs with a bases-loaded single on his second appearance. The White Sox first baseman then capped his slugging spree with the first grand slam of his major league career in the fourth inning. The White Sox record for RBIs was set by Shoeless Joe Jackson in 1920 and was tied by Carl Reynolds in 1930.

Royals 6, Rangers 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Jim Colborn turned in the first no-hitter of his career -- and first in the major leagues this season -- while pitching the Royals to a 6-0 victory over the Rangers. Only two Rangers reached base -- Toby Harrah, who was hit by a pitch in the fifth and Jim Sundberg, who walked in the sixth. Great defensive plays by outfielders Al Cowens and Tom Poquette preserved the no-hitter for Colborn, who fanned six.

Tigers 3, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (day game):
With a double by Rusty Staub as the key blow, the Tigers scored two runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Brewers, 3-2. Tito Fuentes singled and came home on Staub's double to break a 1-1 tie. Staub took third on the throw and then counted what proved to be the winning run when Don Money bobbled a grounder by Steve Kemp. Sal Bando scored both of the Brewers' runs, hitting a double in the fourth inning and homer in the ninth.

Twins 13, Blue Jays 3 at Minnesota (day game):
Rich Chiles collected four of the Twins' 20 hits in a 13-3 shootdown of the Blue Jays. Dan Ford, Rod Carew and Rob Wilfong had three hits apiece. Larry Hisle had two hits and drove in four runs, while Rich Chiles accounted for three RBIs.

Orioles 2, A's 0 at Oakland (day game):
Winning for the first time this year, Mike Flanagan scattered five hits and pitched the Orioles to a 2-0 victory over the Athletics. Rick Langford matched Flanagan in a scoreless duel until the eighth inning when the Orioles put over their two runs on singles by Al Bumbry, Tony Muser and Eddie Murray, plus a walk to Billy Smith and error by Dick Allen.

Red Sox 8, Mariners 4 at Seattle (night game):
Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk each hit a homer and single to feature the Red Sox attack in an 8-4 victory over the Mariners. Rice rapped his homer with a man on base in the first inning. Fisk added a solo swat in the fourth. Fisk singled in the eighth, stole second and scored on a double by Denny Doyle. Rice singled in the ninth and counted on a double by George Scott. Rupper tJones had four hits for the Mariners, including a homer. Dan Meyer also homered and Tommy Smith hit a two-run triple.

Cardinals 7, Braves 6 at Atlanta (night game):
Continuing to show unexpected power, the Cardinals smashed four homers and beat the Braves, 7-6. After the Braves took a 2-1 lead on a homer and run-scoring single by Vic Correll, Garry Templeton hit the Cardinals' first round-tripper in the third inning. The Braves came back with a pair in their half, but Jerry Mumphrey and Ken Reitz homered off Buzz Capra on successive pitches in the fifth. Lou Brock drove in a run with a double in the eighth and Keith Hernandez then accounted for the winning run by hitting for the circuit in the ninth.

Giants 4, Reds 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
A squeeze bunt by Mike Sadek with the bases loaded in the ninth inning capped a two-run rally and enabled the Giants to edge the Reds, 4-3. Jack Clark began the uprising with a one-out single. Willie McCovey also singled, sending Clark to third. McCovey took second on the throw. Pedro Borbon replaced Woodie Fryman and passed Gary Thomasson intentionally. Tim Foli, who had hit a homer earlier in the game, singled, driving in Clark. Sadek followed with his squeeze bunt.

Pirates 6, Astros 2 at Houston (night game):
Rich Gossage pitched 3 1/3 shutout innings and picked up his seventh save of the season as the Pirates defeated the Astros, 6-2. The Pirates scored twice in the first inning on a double by Omar Moreno, pass to Dave Parker, single by Al Oliver and error by Joaquin Andujar. Rennie Stennett walked in the second, took third on a single by Duffy Dyer and scored on the front end of a delayed double steal. The Astros picked up their pair on successive homers by Cliff Johnson and Jose Cruz in the sixth inning, kayoing Larry Demery. Kent Tekulve and Terry Forster each retired one batter in relief before Gossage took over. The Pirates then pulled away with their final three runs.

Cubs 6, Expos 3 at Montreal (day game):
The Cubs scored four runs in the third inning, three of them unearned on an error by Steve Rogers, to beat the Expos, 6-3. Rogers started digging his own grave by hitting George Mitterwald with a pitch to open the stanza. After a sacrifice by Rick Reuschel and a wild pitch, Mitterwald scored on a single by Ivan DeJesus. Rogers then drew an error, allowing Greg Gross to reach base. Larry Biittner batted in both DeJesus and Gross with a double before scoring himself on a single by Jerry Morales.

Dodgers 5, Mets 4 at New York (day game):
Reggie Smith drove in two runs with a homer and single and Rick Monday also homered to carry the Dodgers to a 5-4 victory over the Mets. Smith connected for the circuit in the first inning. The Dodgers added a pair in the second on Monday's homer, a single by Doug Rau and double by Davey Lopes. Four straight singles by Lopes, Bill Russell, Smith and Ron Cey resulted in two more runs and enabled Rau to receive credit for his fifth victory.

Phillies 9, Padres 5 at Philadelphia (night game):
Four homers -- two by Davey Johnson and one each by Garry Maddox and Ted Sizemore -- accounted for seven runs and powered the Phillies to a 9-5 victory over the Padres. After the Padres took a 3-0 lead, the Phillies began slugging back with a two-run homer by Maddox in the third inning. Circuit clouts by Johnson and Sizemore in the fourth, Sizemore's smash following a single by Bob Boone, put the Phillies in front. In the fifth, after Mike Schmidt doubled and scored on a single by Greg Luzinski, Johnson hit his second homer of the game.
