Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 11, Yankees 1 at Boston (day game):
The Red Sox broke three major league records for homers in consecutive games by smashing five in an 11-1 rout of the Yankees. With their five blows, the Red Sox set marks for most homers in five straight games with 21, four with 18 and three in the sweep of the Yankees with 16. Denny Doyle started the Boston barrage with a three-run drive in the fourth inning. After Bernie Carbo added a solo shot in the seventh, Jim Rice, Carl Yastrzemski and George Scott connected for back-to-back homers off Dick Tidrow in the eighth. While the Red Sox were pounding away, Fergie Jenkins held the Yankees to only three hits.

[DH] White Sox 2, A's 1 (day game) / White Sox 5, A's 1 at Chicago (day game):
Wilbur Wood, making a comeback from a shattered kneecap, gained his first victory since May 9, 1976, as the White Sox swept a doubleheader with the Athletics, 2-1 and 5-1. Wood owed his triumph in the opener to the hitting of Lamar Johnson and the relief work of Lerrin LaGrow. Johnson smashed two homers and a double to account for the only runs and hits that the White Sox managed off Mike Norris and Bob Lacey. The A's lone tally was unearned. Wood, who gave up seven hits, was lifted with a man on base in the ninth inning and LaGrow retired the side to pick up his 11th save. The White Sox put the nightcap away with four runs in the fourth inning. Jorge Orta ignited the outburst with a homer. Then, with two out, Johnson singled, Chet Lemon doubled and both scored on a single by Kevin Bell. Brian Downing followed with a double to drive in Bell.

[DH] Indians 4, Tigers 2 (day game) / Indians 4, Tigers 0 at Cleveland (day game):
The Indians marked the debut of Jeff Torborg as their new manager, succeeding Frank Robinson, by sweeping a doubleheader with the Tigers, 4-2 and 4-0. Andre Thornton and Larvell Blanks homered for the Indians in the fourth inning of the opener. Thornton picked up another RBI with a single in the seventh. Wayne Garland, winning for the first time since May 27, gave up the Tigers' runs on a homer by Rusty Staub in the eighth. Jim Bibby pitched the shutout in the nightcap, holding the Tigers to four hits. The Indians scored all their runs in the fifth inning, starting the outburst with a double by Buddy Bell. Johnny Grubb walked and Ray Fosse doubled to score Bell. Frank Duffy and Duane Kuiper followed with infield grounders, but Grubb and Fosse beat the throws to the plate. John Lowenstein singled for the final run.

Royals 8, Twins 7 at Kansas City (day game):
George Brett beat out an infield hit and scored from first on a double by John Mayberry in the ninth inning to give the Royals an 8-7 victory and a sweep of the three-game series with the Twins. Brett, who had three hits in the game, drove in a run with a single in the first and also stole home. The Twins, after trailing by as much as five runs, caught up with the Royals and tied the score at 7-7 in the ninth when Rod Carew singled for his second RBI of the game and Larry Hisle hit his second sacrifice fly.

Angels 7, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
After the Angels exploded for all their runs in the first inning, Frank Tanana had no trouble beating the Brewers, 7-0, for his 11th victory. The shutout was the lefthander's sixth of the season. Moose Haas, who started the game for the Brewers, failed to retire a batter. After Gil Flores, Dave Chalk and Don Baylor led off with consecutive singles for the first run, Joe Rudi walked to load the bases. Bobby Bonds doubled to clear the sacks and kayo Haas. The Angels continued their assault on Eduardo Rodriguez with RBI doubles by Mario Guerrero and Ron Jackson before the first out was registered.

A homer by Ruppert Jones with two out in the ninth inning lifted the Mariners to a 2-1 victory over the Rangers. The Mariners counted their initial run on a double by Larry Milbourne and single by Jose Baez in the sixth. The Rangers came back with a matching tally on doubles by Claudell Washington and Willie Horton to chase Diego Segui, who had allowed only one other hit in 5 1/3 innings. Enrique Romo relieved and came out a winner over Gaylord Perry when Jones rapped his homer in the ninth.

Blue Jays 7, Orioles 1 at Toronto (day game):
The Blue Jays snapped their six-game losing streak by defeating the Orioles, 7-1, behind the five-hit pitching of Dave Lemanczyk. John Scott had three singles, drove in one run and scored three times to lead the Jays' 14-hit attack on Mike Flanagan and Dick Drago.

Dodgers 3, Cubs 1 at Los Angeles (day game):
Lee Lacy accounted for the Dodgers' first two runs with a homer and double before Ron Cey also hit for the circuit to clinch a 3-1 victory over the Cubs. Lacy rapped his round-tripper in the first inning. Don Sutton, who pitched a four-hitter, gave up the Cubs' counter in the second on a walk to Bobby Murcer, single by Jerry Morales, sacrifice by Manny Trillo and infield out by Steve Ontiveros. Johnny Oates bunted safely in the fifth, moved around to third on a balk and a sacrifice and scored the Dodgers' leading run on Lacy's double. Cey hit his homer in the sixth.

Expos 8, Reds 4 at Montreal (day game):
The Expos smashed three homers in the fourth inning, accounting for seven runs, and beat the Reds, 8-4, as Wayne Twitchell gained his first victory of the season and first in a Montreal uniform since being obtained in a deal with the Phillies. The victory, with help from Don Stanhouse, who pitched the last four innings, also was the first of Twitchell's career over the Reds, who had defeated him seven times. Tony Perez walked to open the Expos' outburst and Gary Carter homered. Picking up that sequence, Warren Cromartie walked and Andre Dawson homered. After Twitchell singled to kayo Woodie Fryman, Dave Cash greeted the arrival of Tom Hume with a single and Ellis Valentine capped the Expos' big inning with a three-run homer.

Bruce Boisclair and John Stearns hit three-run homers in support of Craig Swan, who pitched the Mets to an 8-2 victory over the Astros in his first route-going performance of the season. Stearns batted in the Mets' first run with a double in the second inning. Boisclair's blow in the third snapped a tie. Stearns connected for his homer in the seventh.

Phillies 4, Braves 2 at Philadelphia (day game):
Steve Carlton gained his 100th victory with the Phillies by pitching a six-hitter to defeat the Braves, 4-2. Steve Hargan, making his first appearance with the Braves, was the loser after giving up seven hits and the Phillies' four runs in the first 2 1/3 innings. A triple by Mike Schmidt and wild pitch by Hargan resulted in the initial tally in the first. Richie Hebner was safe on an error and Tim McCarver and Larry Bowa beat out infield hits to load the bases in the second. Hebner scored as the Braves executed a double play on a grounder by Ted Sizemore. Carlton then helped himself with a single, driving in McCarver. Bake McBride singled, stole second and scored on a single by Greg Luzinski in the third.

Padres 6, Cardinals 2 at San Diego (day game):
The Padres scored five runs in the first inning and proceeded to beat the Cardinals, 6-2, to complete a sweep of the three-game series. Gene Richards singled, Gene Tenace walked and Mike Ivie and Dave Winfield singled for the first two tallies. After a pass to Bill Almon, Mike Champion drove in a pair with a triple and scored himself on a safe bunt by Bob Davis. Winfield homered in the third to wrap up the Padres' scoring.

[DH] Giants 8, Pirates 0 (day game) / Giants 8, Pirates 6 at San Francisco (night game):
Bob Knepper pitched first the shutout and first complete game of the lefthander's major league career to gain an 8-0 victory and start the Giants off to a sweep of a doubleheader with the Pirates. The Giants won the second game, 8-6. Knepper yielded only five hits. The Giants' attack on Jim Rooker included homers by Derrel Thomas and Jack Clark, plus a two-run double by Bill Madlock and pair of run-scoring singles by Rob Andrews. In the nightcap, the Giants took a 5-0 lead in the first inning, with four runs scoring on a bases-loaded single by Gary Thomasson and an error by Dave Parker, who let the ball get past him in right field. The Pirates came back to take a 6-5 lead in the seventh when Parker made amends for his error by hitting a homer with a man on base. However in the Giants' half, Andrews singled and Darrell Evans homered to decide the outcome of the game.
