Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 4, Red Sox 2 at California (day game):
Giving new manager Jim Fregosi his first victory, the Angels prevailed over the Red Sox, 4-2. The Angels began the scoring with a solo home run by Ron Jackson in the fourth inning. The first major league round-tripper by Ken Landreaux added another marker in the seventh frame. After Landreaux's blast, the Angels loaded the bases on singles by Bobby Grich and Lyman Bostock and a walk to Joe Rudi. With one out, Jackson lifted a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Grich. Grich's single in the eighth inning plated the final Angel run. Frank Tanana, with relief help from Dave LaRoche, became the first nine-game winner in the A. L.

Tigers 6, Twins 4 at Detroit (day game):
Getting half of their runs through errors, the Tigers topped the Twins, 6-4. Rusty Staub doubled in the fourth inning and after Jason Thompson flied to right, Staub took third and came home on Hosken Powell's errant throw. In the sixth stanza, Dan Ford muffed Steve Kemp's two-out liner to center to give the Tigers a run and John Wockenfuss then hit a single to plate Kemp. A two-run homer by Kemp in the eighth put the contest on ice.

Royals 13, White Sox 2 at Kansas City (day game):
The Royals piled up 18 hits and snapped the White Sox' seven-game winning streak, 13-2. John Wathan singled home the opening run of the game in the second inning, lofted a sacrifice fly to give the Royals a 5-2 lead in the sixth and stroked a scoring single during a five-run seventh inning. Al Cowens hit a sacrifice fly in the third and tripled home two other runs in the seventh.

[DH] Brewers 12, Indians 7 (day game) / Brewers 9, Indians 4 at Milwaukee (night game):
Blasting six home runs, the Brewers overpowered the Indians to sweep a doubleheader, 12-7 and 9-4. In the first game, Dick Davis belted the first grand slam of his major league career to lift the Brewers from a 4-2 deficit to a 6-4 lead in the sixth inning. Gorman Thomas capped a six-run outburst in the seventh with a three-run smash. In the nightcap, Sixto Lezcano clouted a three-run homer in the first inning. Sal Bando contributed a solo swat in the seventh and Paul Molitor accounted for the Brewers' final two markers with a drive in the eighth.

A's 6, Yankees 4 at Oakland (day game):
A three-run outburst in the fifth inning propelled the A's to a 6-4 triumph over the Yankees. Mitchell Page's two-run double was the key hit of the decisive frame. It came off Sparky Lyle, who had replaced Rawly Eastwick with runners on first and third and two out. Tony Armas put the A's ahead, 6-3, when he followed with a double to score Page. The Yanks' Don Gullett, making his first appearance of the season, was kayoed in the opening inning after Miguel Dilone hit a homer and Mario Guerrero drove in a run with a double. The crowd of 19,289 was the A's largest of the season.

Orioles 4, Mariners 1 at Seattle (day game):
With Ken Singleton driving in all the runs and Mike Flanagan scattering seven hits, the Orioles flew to their fifth straight victory, defeating the Mariners, 4-1. Singleton stroked a two-out first-inning single to score Larry Harlow, who had walked and stolen second. In the third, with Eddie Murray aboard on a single, Singleton blasted his fifth homer of the season. After Murray drew a walk in the fifth, Singleton lashed an RBI double to left-center.

Rangers 9, Blue Jays 5 at Toronto (day game):
Scoring three runs in each of the first two innings, the Rangers coasted past the Blue Jays, 9-5. In their first turn at bat, the Rangers loaded the bases on three walks. A single by Al Oliver drove in two runs and a fielder's choice by Richie Zisk scored another. In the second, a single by Mike Hargrove produced one tally and Oliver made the score 6-0 with a two-run double.

Cubs 6, Braves 4 at Chicago (day game):
Posting their eighth straight victory at Wrigley Field, the Cubs won over the Braves, 6-4, as Hector Cruz led the attack with three hits and two RBIs. A three-run first inning started the Cubs on the road to victory. Ivan DeJesus drew a walk and went to third on a single by Gene Clines. A sacrifice fly by Larry Biittner scored Ivan DeJesus. After a throwing error by third baseman Elliott Maddox on Dave Kingman's grounder and an outfield fly by Manny Trillo, Cruz doubled to plate Clines and Kingman. The Cubs scored again in the second on a single by Clines and added two more in the fourth on a double by Larry Cox and single by DeJesus.

Pirates 4, Reds 1 at Cincinnati (day game):
John Milner rapped out four straight hits and Bill Robinson added a pair of doubles and a single to lead the Pirates to a 4-1 victory over the Reds. The Pirates scored in the second inning on a double by Robinson, walk to Willie Stargell and single by Milner. After Ed Ott walked, Stargell tallied the second run of the frame on a sacrifice fly by Phil Garner. Singles by Robinson, Stargell and Milner gave the Pirates another run in the third. A double by Robinson and Joe Morgan's throwing error on Stargell's grounder was good for the Pirates' final score in the fifth.

Cardinals 4, Astros 2 at Houston (day game):
Taking advantage of a misplay, the Cardinals posted a 4-2 verdict over the Astros. The score was tied in the fifth inning when Mike Phillips got an infield hit with one out. Silvio Martinez was credited with a bunt single when pitcher J.R. Richard failed to cover first on the play. The runners advanced to second and third on a wild pitch. Lou Brock then grounded to first and Bob Watson's throw to the plate was too late to get Phillips. An error by third baseman Enos Cabell allowed a second run to score and George Hendrick followed with an RBI double.

Giants 3, Expos 2 at Montreal (day game):
A tenth-inning home run by Vic Harris, who was batting only .055, enabled the Giants to edge the Expos, 3-2. The Expos had tied the game in the ninth when Bill Madlock and Jack Clark collided going for Ellis Valentine's pop fly that would have been the final out. Madlock was charged with an error as the ball fell to the ground and Warren Cromartie, who had doubled, scored. Clark drove in the Giants' first two runs with a fielder's choice grounder and triple.

Padres 5, Mets 2 at New York (day game):
A four-run sixth inning lifted the Padres to a 5-2 decision over the Mets. With the score tied, 1-1, in the sixth, the Padres loaded the bases on an infield hit by Gene Richards, walk to Dave Winfield, a wild pitch and two-out intentional walk to Gene Tenace. A single by Derrel Thomas drove in two runs and a double by Bill Almon plated two more. Gaylord Perry got credit for his 250th career victory.

Phillies 9, Dodgers 4 at Philadelphia (day game):
Completing the three-game series sweep, the Phillies battered three pitchers for 11 hits en route to a 9-4 thumping of the Dodgers. A five-run second inning sent Dodger ace Tommy John to the showers. A double by Jose Cardenal began the rally and after a walk to Richie Hebner, Bob Boone singled in one run. A single by Jim Morrison drove in another and after a walk to Jerry Martin, Garry Maddox stroked an RBI single. A single by Greg Luzinski plated two more tallies to put the Phillies ahead, 5-2, and brought in reliever Charlie Hough.
