Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Royals 4, Orioles 1 (night game) / Orioles 7, Royals 2 at Baltimore (night game):
The Royals rapped a triple and six doubles among their 10 hits in winning the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 4-1, but the Orioles came back to gain a 7-2 victory in the second game. Hal McRae doubled, Amos Otis tripled and Al Cowens hit a sacrifice fly for two runs to start the Royals' scoring in the first inning of the lidlifter. Cowens drove in another run with an infield out in the sixth and picked up his third RBI in the eighth with a double following a two-bagger by McRae. In the nightcap, the Orioles took a 2-1 lead in the sixth with a bases-loaded pass to Eddie Murray and sacrifice fly by Pat Kelly. A single by Billy Smith added a counter in the seventh before the Orioles put the game away with a four-run burst in the eighth, three scoring on a bases-loaded double by Rick Dempsey.

[DH] Twins 13, Red Sox 5 (night game) / Twins 9, Red Sox 4 at Boston (night game):
The Twins piled up a total of 35 hits, including an A. L. season high of 24 in the first game, while sweeping a twi-night doubleheader from the Red Sox, 13-5 and 9-4. Larry Hisle hit a grand-slam homer, plus a single and double, to feature the Twins' batting spree in the opener. Rod Carew rapped five hits in six trips. Dan Ford contributed a homer. The Red Sox had circuit clouts by Carlton Fisk and Dwight Evans. Glenn Adams batted in three runs with a single and double, while Mike Cubbage accounted for two with a single, to lead the Twins to victory in the second game.

Indians 2, Mariners 1 at Cleveland (night game):
A route-going performance by Dennis Eckersley, who allowed only five hits, was rewarded when the Indians scored in the 12th inning to defeat the Mariners, 2-1. The Mariners picked up their run in the third on a single by Bob Stinson and double by Larry Milbourne. The Indians came back with the tying tally in their half on a pass to Rick Manning, a wild pitch, infield hit by Duane Kuiper and groundout by Jim Norris. The tie then persisted until the 12th when Norris singled, stole second and scored on a single by Bruce Bochte.

Angels 4, Tigers 0 at Detroit (night game):
Continuing his superlative pitching, Frank Tanana beat the Tigers, 4-0, for the Angel lefthander's second successive shutout and fourth of the season, his eighth victory against one defeat and eighth complete game. The Tigers collected only three hits. The Angels backed Tanana with homers by Bobby Bonds and Bobby Grich.

Brewers 7, White Sox 4 at Milwaukee (night game):
After giving up three runs in first inning, Moose Haas overcame that shaky start and pitched the Brewers to a 7-4 victory over the White Sox. The rookie gave up only two his in the last eight innings and retired 18 of the last 19 batters, including the final 10 in a row. The Brewers began chopping into the deficit with two runs in their half of the first on a pass to Don Money and homer by Sixto Lezcano. Money singled and Lezcano doubled in the third when the Brewers took the lead with three runs. Money homered in the sixth.

[DH] Yankees 3, Rangers 2 (night game) / Rangers 1, Yankees 0 at New York (night game):
In contrast to Gil Patterson, who received credit for his first major league victory when the Yankees took the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, 3-2, Gaylord Perry won his 220th game by pitching the Rangers to a 1-0 triumph in the nightcap. The Yankees scored one run in the first inning of the lidlifter on a double by Willie Randolph and single by Thurman Munson. Roy White homered in the second. After the Rangers came back to tie the score, the Yankees put over the deciding marker with doubles by Graig Nettles and Bucky Dent in the fifth. Sparky Lyle saved the game for Patterson, pitching the last 2 1/3 innings. Perry scattered six hits in the second game and gained his victory over Mike Torrez when the Rangers scored in the second inning on singles by Dave May and Toby Harrah, a sacrifice bunt by Sandy Alomar and sacrifice fly by Jim Sundberg.

A's 6, Blue Jays 5 at Toronto (night game):
An interference call on Ron Fairly with two out in the 10th inning opened the gates for the Athletics, who pushed over two unearned runs to defeat the Blue Jays, 6-5. The Blue Jays overcame a 3-0 deficit earlier in the game by rallying for four runs in the fifth, breaking a string of 17 consecutive scoreless innings. Rich McKinney saved the A's from defeat by hitting a pinch-homer in the eighth. In the 10th, Rodney Scott singled with two out and was caught off first, but when Fairly collided with the runner, Scott was awarded second base. Quickly capitalizing on Fairly's error, Manny Sanguillen doubled to drive in Scott and Mitchell Page doubled to score Sanguillen.

Cubs 7, Expos 3 at Chicago (day game):
Five walks, together with doubles by Jerry Morales and Steve Ontiveros, accounted for four runs in the first inning and carried the Cubs to a 7-3 win over the Expos. Starter Dan Warthen passed the first four batters, Ivan DeJesus, Gene Clines, Larry Biittner and Bobby Murcer, to force in DeJesus before Jeff Terpko relieved. A double by Morales drove in Clines and Biittner, but Murcer was called out for interference when coach Peanuts Lowrey grabbed him as he rounded third base. Manny Trillo then walked and Ontiveros doubled to score Morales with the fourth run of the frame.

Astros 7, Dodgers 6 at Los Angeles (night game):
A single by Julio Gonzalez for his fourth hit of the game drove in what proved to be the Astros' winning run in a 7-6 victory over the Dodgers. Reggie Smith homered for the Dodgers, while the Astros had two by Art Howe and one by Enos Cabell. Howe broke a 5-5 tie with his second swat in the eighth inning. Cesar Cedeno was hit by a pitch, stole second and crossed the plate on Gonzalez' single, enabling the Astros to shrug off the run driven in by Boog Powell with a single in the Dodgers' half of the eighth.

Padres 6, Braves 5 at San Diego (night game):
A homer by Dave Winfield and bases-loaded single by Jerry Turner in a 12th-inning rally brought the Padres a 6-5 victory over the Braves. Gary Matthews and Vic Correll hit back-to-back homers for the Braves to tie the score at 4-4 in the eighth. Junior Moore, leading off in the 12th, rapped his first major league homer to put the Braves ahead, but that lead was shortlived. After Winfield's wallop tied the score, Mike Ivie and Doug Rader singled, Gene Tenace walked to load the bases and Turner drove in the winning run.

Giants 6, Reds 5 at San Francisco (night game):
After scoring five times in the first inning, the Giants added another run on a pass to Darrell Evans with the bases loaded in the fourth to edge the Reds, 6-5. Tom Hume, making his first major league start for the Reds, retired only one batter before being knocked out. Hume walked one and gave up four hits, including a homer by Gary Thomasson with two men on base. However, Woodie Fryman handed the Giants what proved to be their winning run by passing four batters in the fourth. George Foster smashed two homers and Pete Rose hit one for the Reds.

Phillies 2, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
A clutch relief effort by Tom Underwood, who retired the last two batters with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, enabled the Phillies to escape with a 2-1 victory over the Cardinals. The Phillies scored their first run in the fifth on singles by Jerry Martin and Tim McCarver and a sacrifice fly by Larry Bowa. A sacrifice fly by Ollie Brown added the other run in the sixth after a single by Ted Sizemore and double by Mike Schmidt.
