Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 4, Angels 2 at California (night game):
Rocketing to their eighth straight victory, the Orioles snapped a 2-2 tie in the ninth inning and defeated the Angels, 4-2. An infield hit by Al Bumbry started the winning rally. A single by Rich Dauer moved Bumbry to third and a single by Lee May drove home the tie-breaker. An infield hit by Ken Singleton loaded the bases and Eddie Murray then stroked a deep fly ball to left field to score Dauer.

Royals 5, Indians 4 at Kansas City (night game):
The winning run scored on a wild pitch as the Royals edged the Indians. 5-4. After Gary Alexander tied the score for the Indians at 4-4 with a homer in the top of the ninth, Willie Wilson was hit by a pitch in the Royals' half and advanced to third on a single by Pete LaCock. Pinch-hitter Tom Poquette then drew a walk to load the sacks. After White flied out to shallow center, reliever Sid Monge uncorked a wild pitch with George Brett at the plate, allowing Wilson to dash home.

After Don Money was hit by a pitch, Tiger starter Jack Billingham was relieved by John Hiller. A bunt single by Ben Oglivie, sacrifice by Sixto Lezcano and intentional walk to Sal Bando loaded the bases. Charlie Moore then delivered a two-run single to put the Brewers ahead to stay. In the second game, the Brewers were behind, 3-1, going into the bottom of the sixth inning when they loaded the bases on a single by Oglivie, walk to Bando and infleld hit by Larry Hisle.
