Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 4, Brewers 2 at Chicago (night game):
Superb relief pitching by Mike Proly enabled the White Sox to record a 4-2 decision over the Brewers. The reliever hurled 3 1/3 innings of hitless ball to preserve the victory. The score was 2-2 going into the bottom of the third when Don Kessinger singled, advanced to second on an infield out and scored on a single by Claudell Washington. Bob Molinaro hit a solo homer in the fifth frame.

Indians 5, Angels 1 at Cleveland (night game):
A two-run single by Andre Thornton and solo homers by Bernie Carbo and Johnny Grubb led the Indians to a 5-1 victory over the Angels. Carbo connected in the second inning to give the Tribe a 1-0 lead and Thornton stroked a bases-loaded single in the third to make it 3-0. Grubb homered and Gary Alexander delivered a sacrifice fly in the eighth to end the scoring.

Tigers 11, A's 2 at Detroit (night game):
Backing the five-hit pitching of Milt Wilcox with a 15-hit attack, the Tigers ripped the A's, 11-2. A's starter Steve Renko gave up a single to Steve Kemp, the first of six straight Tiger hits in the sixth inning, before departing. The Tigers scored four runs in the sixth and added five more in the seventh. Ron LeFlore and Alan Trammell drove in two runs apiece for the Tigers, who also scored on each of the A's three errors.

Yankees 4, Royals 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Winning his 15th game -- tops in the majors -- Ron Guidry pitched the Yankees to a 4-0 blanking of the Royals, ending the K.C. winning streak at 10 games. The Yanks scored a run in the third when Mickey Rivers reached first on a throwing error by Royal shortstop Freddie Patek, stole second and scored on a double by Willie Randolph. The Bronx Bombers added three more runs in the eighth on an RBI double by Thurman Munson and back-to-back RBI singles by Roy White and Jim Spencer. It was Bob Lemon's first game as Yankee manager.

Twins 5, Red Sox 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Driving in three runs, Dan Ford led the Twins to a 5-2 triumph over the Red Sox. The score was 1-1 going into the bottom of the fifth when Rod Carew led off with a walk. A triple by Ford scored Carew and a sacrifice fly by Jose Morales scored Ford. Ford drove in the Twins' final two runs with an RBI single in the sixth and a forceout in the eighth.

Orioles 7, Rangers 6 at Texas (night game):
Two home runs by Doug DeCinces powered the Orioles past the Rangers, 7-6. The Bird third baseman hit a solo swat in the fourth inning and a bases-loaded clout in the fifth frame to give the Orioles a 7-4 lead. Ken Singleton drove in the other Oriole tallies with a two-run homer in the first inning. Tippy Martinez pitched 3 2/3 innings of hitless relief to preserve the win.

Mariners 4, Blue Jays 2 at Toronto (night game):
A two-run homer by Leon Roberts broke a 2-2 tie in the ninth inning and gave the Mariners a 4-2 verdict over the Blue Jays. Tom Paciorek led off the Mariner ninth with a double and Roberts followed by lacing a pitch into the left field seats. Glenn Abbott scattered six hits in going the route.

Astros 3, Expos 2 at Houston (night game):
A two-out single by Art Howe in the 13th inning drove home the winning run as the Astros edged the Expos, 3-2. Rafael Landestoy drew a walk with one out in the 13th and moved to third on a single by pinch-hitter Denny Walling. Enos Cabell was intentionally walked to load the bases and, after Bob Watson struck out, Howe lined the ball to left field for the game-winner. The Astros had tied the game with two out in the ninth on a solo homer by Jose Cruz.

Dodgers 3, Cubs 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
A home run by Davey Lopes highlighted the Dodgers' 3-1 decision over the Cubs. Lopes led off the first inning with his round-tripper and the Dodgers added a run in the second when Dusty Baker reached first safely on an error by Cub shortstop Ivan DeJesus, advanced to third on a single by Bill Russell and scored when third baseman Rodney Scott misplayed a grounder by Rick Rhoden. In the fifth frame, L. A. scored again on a single by Bill North and a double by Reggie Smith.

Mets 9, Reds 2 at New York (night game):
Although Pete Rose established a modern league record by hitting safely in his 38th consecutive game, the Reds were pounded by the Mets, 9-2. Rose broke the previous record, set by Tommy Holmes in 1945, with a third-inning single and also collected two other hits. A five-run fourth inning decided the game for the Mets. One-out singles by Steve Henderson and Willie Montanez put runners at first and third and a double by John Stearns drove in Henderson. Lee Mazzilli was walked intentionally to load the bases before Lenny Randle snapped an 0-for-14 slump with a two-run single. When right fielder Ken Griffey bobbled the ball, a third run scored. Second baseman Joe Morgan then threw Griffey's relay past first, permitting Randle to reach second, from where he scored on a single by Doug Flynn.

Braves 4, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
Pitching his first complete major league game, Tommy Boggs hurled a four-hitter as the Braves posted a 4-0 whitewashing of the Phillies. Biff Pocoroba clouted a three-run homer in the second inning following a walk to Jeff Burroughs and single by Bob Horner. Burroughs added an RBI double in the sixth.

Padres 2, Pirates 1 at San Diego (night game):
Timely hitting by Dave Winfield propelled the Padres to a 2-1 triumph over the Pirates. Winfield tied the game at 1-1 with a solo home run in the seventh and drove in the winning run in the ninth. Gene Richards opened the Padre ninth with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Ozzie Smith. Kent Tekulve replaced Jim Rooker on the mound for the Bucs and walked pinch-hitter Oscar Gamble intentionally. Winfield then lined the second pitch to center for the decisive blow.

Giants 3, Cardinals 2 at San Francisco (night game):
A two-run pinch homer by Mike Ivie in the last of the ninth gave the Giants a 3-2 triumph over the Cardinals. The Cards had taken a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth on singles by Keith Hernandez, Jerry Morales, pinch-hitter Roger Freed and Mike Tyson. In the bottom of the frame, Larry Herndon singled with one out and Ivie then unloaded a drive over the left field fence. Jack Clark extended his hitting streak to 26 games with a two-base hit in the fourth inning.
