Today's scores and summaries:

Royals 7, Angels 2 at California (night game):
Pete LaCock hit a three-run homer and Al Cowens drove in two runs with a double to pace the Royals' production in a 7-2 victory over the Angels.

White Sox 10, Mariners 4 at Chicago (night game):
A bases-loaded triple by Lamar Johnson highlighted the 13-hit attack of the White Sox in a 10-4 victory over the Mariners. Johnson, who hit his triple in the second inning, also accounted for a fourth RBI with a single in the fourth. Eric Soderholm drove in two runs with a single and Jim Essian capped the White Sox scoring with a homer in the seventh.

Orioles 9, Indians 2 at Cleveland (night game):
Mike Flanagan, who had lost seven of his eight previous decisions, spaced eight hits and pitched the Orioles to a 9-2 victory over the Indians. Billy Smith backed Flanagan with a homer and single, driving in four runs.

Tigers 4, Red Sox 1 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers, who had lost 10 straight times to the Red Sox in Detroit since September 20, 1975, snapped that string with a 4-1 victory. Steve Kemp doubled for the Tigers' initial run in the first inning, Tom Veryzer, Ron LeFlore and Rusty Staub hit doubles for a pair in the second and Jason Thompson homered in the third. Dave Roberts, who pitched the route, gained his first victory since May 11.

Twins 10, Brewers 3 at Minnesota (night game):
Rod Carew rapped three singles to raise his average to .408, drove in three runs and stole home for the 16th time in his career to pace the Twins to a 10-3 victory over the Brewers. Sal Bando and Sixto Lezcano homered on consecutive pitches in the first inning to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead, but Bob Gorinski hit his first major league homer for the Twins to produce two runs in the second and the rookie also doubled for another RBI in the fourth when the Twins pushed over four runs. Carew stole home after driving in a run with a single and reaching third on an error. Dave Goltz, the Twins' winner, gave up seven hits in posting his sixth complete game of the season.

Rangers 5, A's 2 at Oakland (night game):
New manager Billy Hunter, who did not arrive until the fourth inning, watched from the stands as the Rangers defeated the Athletics, 5-2. With coach Connie Ryan in charge, the Rangers put over three runs in the third inning. After singles by Bert Campaneris and Toby Harrah around a sacrifice produced the first tally, Claudell Washington smashed a homer. Willie Horton doubled and Mike Hargrove singled for a run in the eighth and the Rangers added their final tally on a pass to Juan Beniquez with the bases loaded in the ninth.

Blue Jays 7, Yankees 6 at Toronto (night game):
The Blue Jays had a grand slam by Hector Torres and two-run homer by Ron Fairly but needed another RBI on a single by Doug Rader to defeat the Yankees, 7-6. Ron Guidry walked three batters in the fifth inning before giving up Torres' slam for the first hit off his deliveries. The Yankees, who had a homer by Thurman Munson in the first, came back to tie the score at 4-4, but Fairly's homer after a pass to Otto Velez in the sixth and Rader's run-scoring single in the eighth enabled the Blue Jays to survive a Yankee rally in the ninth.

Dodgers 2, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
A two-run homer by Rick Monday carried the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the Braves. Dusty Baker doubled ahead of Monday's smash in the second inning. Burt Hooton held the Braves to five hits until Gary Matthews and Willie Montanez singled with one out in the seventh. Charlie Hough came in to retire Jeff Burroughs, but Biff Pocoroba singled to score Matthews. Hough then ended the threat.

Giants 14, Reds 9 at Cincinnati (night game):
Willie McCovey set one major league record and broke another N. L. mark by hitting two homers in one inning, including a grand slam, as the Giants exploded for 10 runs in the sixth to beat the Reds, 14-9. McCovey's slam was the 17th of his career, one more than Hank Aaron. And the veteran first baseman became first player in baseball history to hit two homers in the same inning twice. McCovey accomplished the feat previously April 12, 1973. The Giants sent 13 men to bat during their big inning. McCovey's first homer came off Jack Billingham. After Joe Henderson had a stint in relief, Joe Hoerner took the mound and hit two batters with pitches before McCovey unloaded his grand slam.

Astros 7, Padres 6 at Houston (night game):
Enos Cabell's second double of the game and Cesar Cedeno's third featured a three-run rally in the ninth inning as the Astros defeated the Padres, 7-6. Tom Griffin and Dave Winfield hit homers for the Padres. Ken Boswell opened the Astros' ninth with a single and scored on Cabell's double for his fourth hit of the game. Rollie Fingers made a wild pickoff attempt and when center fielder George Hendrick let the ball get by him, Cabell crossed the plate. Cedeno followed with a double and counted the winning run on a single by Bob Watson.

Cubs 4, Expos 3 at Montreal (night game):
Rallying for three runs in the seventh inning, the Cubs defeated the Expos, 4-3, to extend their winning streak to seven games. Larry Biittner homered for the Cubs in the first, but the Expos erupted for all their runs in the home half, two scoring on a single by Tony Perez. The Cubs then trailed until the seventh when Steve Ontiveros ignited the rally with a single. After stopping at third on a double by Steve Swisher, Ontiveros scored on a single by Mick Kelleher. Pinch-hitter Gene Clines delivered a single, driving in Swisher to tie the score, and Ivan DeJesus followed with a sacrifice fly, bringing in Kelleher with the deciding run.

Phillies 4, Mets 2 at New York (night game):
Pinch-hitter Jay Johnstone singled with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and drove in two runs to lift the Phillies to a 4-2 victory over the Mets. A double by Steve Henderson, pass to John Stearns and double by Mike Vail produced the Mets' pair in the sixth. The Phillies tied the score in the seventh when Greg Luzinski walked and Richie Hebner homered. In the ninth, Mike Schmidt and Luzinski singled and Hebner was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Garry Maddox struck out, but Johnstone came through as the pinch-batter for Ted Sizemore.

Cardinals 6, Pirates 1 at St. Louis (night game):
Pete Falcone, who had been slated for bullpen duty until John Denny went on the disabled list, pitched seven innings and gained his first victory since May 30 when the Cardinals defeated the Phillies, 6-1. Mike Tyson batted in two runs with his first homer of the year.
