Today's scores and summaries:

Tigers 8, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Tigers breezed past the Brewers, 8-1, as Rusty Staub drove in four runs and Jim Slaton beat his former teammates for the second time in one week. Staub drove in a third-inning run with a sacrifice fly, blasted a two-run homer in the seventh and hit an RBI double during a three-run ninth inning.

White Sox 8, Twins 3 at Minnesota (night game):
A six-run second inning carried the White Sox to an 8-3 triumph over the Twins. Ron Blomberg led off the big frame with a walk and took third on a single by Bill Nahorodny. After a single by Alan Bannister drove in one run, Eric Soderholm was hit by a pitch to load the bases. A sacrifice fly by Thad Bosley plated a second tally and Roy Smalley's error on a grounder by Ralph Garr scored the third marker and brought on reliever Mac Scarce. After Jorge Orta struck out, Jim Breazeale walked to reload the bases and Henry Cruz and Blomberg followed with singles to cap the inning.

[DH] Angels 4, A's 1 (night game) / A's 1, Angels 0 at Oakland (night game):
In a split of a doubleheader, the Angels took the opener, 4-1, but the A's came back to win the nightcap, 1-0. The Angels clinched the first game with three runs in the third inning on a two-run single by Bobby Grich and RBI single by Lyman Bostock. Ken Brett, making his first start since May 20, pitched a two-hitter for seven innings before being relieved. In the nightcap, a fourth-inning double by Gary Thomasson, sacrifice bunt by Mario Guerrero and Mitchell Page's infield out produced the only run of the contest. Matt Keough, Bob Lacey and Elias Sosa combined on a five-hitter with the relievers turning back Angel threats in the last two frames.

Yankees 9, Mariners 1 at Seattle (night game):
Unbeaten Ron Guidry won his ninth game and Reggie Jackson hit two homers as the Yankees routed the Mariners, 9-1. Jackson had a two-run round-tripper in the seventh and solo shot in the ninth. Roy White opened the Yankee scoring with a solo homer in the second inning. The Yankees scored four more times in the fourth. With one out, Chris Chambliss walked and took third on a double by Graig Nettles. Jim Spencer followed with a two-run single and Bucky Dent made it 5-0 with a homer.

Reds 9, Cubs 6 at Chicago (day game):
The Reds ended the 10-game home winning streak of the Cubs by pounding out a 9-6 decision. The onslaught began with four runs in the first inning. Ken Griffey tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan. George Foster was hit by a pitch, Dan Driessen drew a walk, and Dave Concepcion doubled in one run. A single by Mike Lum plated two more. Sacrifice flies by Morgan and Foster produced a pair of tallies in the second frame and the Reds got another pair in the fifth on a single by Dave Concepcion and doubles by Lum and Bill Bonham.

Expos 8, Padres 3 at Montreal (night game):
In the completion of the game suspended the previous night because of a power failure, the Expos posted a 4-0 victory over the Padres as Wayne Twitchell and Bill Atkinson combined on a four-hitter and Tony Perez belted a homer. In the regularly-scheduled game, Ross Grimsley became the first pitcher in the majors to gain 10 wins and Larry Parrish drove in four runs with a double and homer in the Expos' 8-3 romp. Parrish doubled a run across in the fourth inning to tie the score at 2-2 and delivered a three-run homer in the seventh. Perez also drove in a pair of runs with a two-base hit.

Mets 3, Dodgers 2 at New York (night game):
With Pat Zachry firing a three-hitter, the Mets edged the Dodgers, 3-2. The score was 2-2 in the eighth inning when Dodger shortstop Bill Russell booted a grounder by Steve Henderson. A single by Willie Montanez moved Henderson to third. Ron Hodges then bounced a ball to Davey Lopes. The second baseman fired to first for an out, but Henderson crossed home plate before Montanez was tagged out in a rundown between first and second to complete the double play. The Mets had tied the contest in the fourth on Joel Youngblood's first major league home run.

Phillies 5, Giants 4 at Philadelphia (night game):
Completing the three-game series sweep, the Phillies edged the Giants, 5-4. The Phils trailed, 4-3, going into the bottom of the ninth but tied the score on singles by Bake McBride, Larry Bowa and Mike Schmidt. After an intentional walk to Greg Luzinski, pinch-hitter Jose Cardenal hit a long smash to left for a single to drive in the winning run.

Braves 6, Cardinals 0 at St. Louis (night game):
A bases-loaded homer by Biff Pocoroba capped a five-run first inning, triggering the Braves to an easy 6-0 conquest of the Cardinals. The attack began when Rod Gilbreath walked with one out, stole second and scored on a single by Jeff Burroughs. Gary Matthews also singled and Dale Murphy walked before Pocoroba belted his second career grand slam. Phil Niekro posted the shutout on a four-hitter.
