Today's scores and summaries:

Brewers 19, Red Sox 8 at Boston (day game):
The Red Sox smashed six homers including four in one inning, but could not match the batting of the Brewers, who piled up 22 hits and rolled to a 19-11 victory. Rick Burleson homered for the Red Sox in the first inning, Dave Stapleton hit his first major league homer in the fourth and, after Jim Rice was retired, Tony Perez, Carlton Fisk and Butch Hobson connected for the circuit in succession. Stapleton added another homer in the ninth. Robin Yount and Paul Molitor rapped round-trippers for the Brewers, who enjoyed three big innings, racking up eight runs in the third, six in the seventh and four in the eighth. Molitor drove in four runs, Gantner batted in three and five other Brewers had two RBIs each.

Indians 5, Mariners 2 at Cleveland (night game):
Although hitting into the first triple play in the major leagues this season, the Indians defeated the Mariners, 5-2. In the second inning, the Indians had Ron Hassey on second and Joe Charboneau on first when Toby Harrah hit a liner to Bruce Bochte. The Mariner first baseman's throw to shortstop Jim Anderson doubled up Hassey and the return peg to second baseman Julio Cruz, who covered first, caught Charboneau for the third out. The Indians took advantage of an error by Mariner starter Mike Parrott to score three unearned runs in the third inning and capped their scoring with back-to-back homers by Cliff Johnson and Hassey in the fifth.

Angels 6, Tigers 1 at Detroit (day game):
The Angels, who had lost 11 straight games to the Tigers over two seasons, snapped back at their jinx club with a 6-1 victory. Tom Donohue hit his second major league homer and Bert Campaneris hit his first homer since July 14, 1978, each with a man on base, to pace the Angels' scoring. Bruce Kison and Dave LaRoche combined on a four-hitter with the Tigers' run counting in the sixth inning on a walk and a triple by Alan Trammell.

Royals 6, White Sox 4 at Kansas City (night game):
An inside-the-park homer by John Wathan with two men on base helped the Royals defeat the White Sox, 6-4. Trailing, 3-1, the Royals opened the sixth inning with a run on singles by George Brett, Amos Otis and Darrell Porter. Ed Farmer relieved Steve Trout on the mound for the White Sox and served up a pitch that Wathan lashed down the right field line, where the ball eluded right fielder Harold Baines. Mike Squires batted in three runs for the White Sox.

Orioles 11, Twins 1 at Minnesota (day game):
Ken Landreaux, who flied out twice and hit two infield grounders, was stopped on his 31-game batting streak by the pitching of Scott McGregor as the Orioles breezed to an 11-1 victory over the Twins. Landreaux's streak was the longest in the A.L. since Dom DiMaggio hit in 34 straight games in 1949. Rich Dauer led the Orioles' attack with three singles and a sacrifice fly, driving in four runs. Lee May contributed a homer.

Yankees 8, Blue Jays 6 at New York (night game):
Capping a power show, Reggie Jackson hit the Yankees' fourth homer of the game, connecting after a single by Lou Piniella in the 11th inning, to defeat the Blue Jays, 8-6. Two-run raps by Bobby Brown and Joe Lefebvre helped the Yankees take a 5-0 lead before the Blue Jays rallied for four runs in the fifth and two in the seventh to go ahead, 6-5. The Yankees came back with a homer by Bobby Murcer in their half of the seventh to tie the score.

A's 4, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
Center fielder Dwayne Murphy killed off a Ranger rally, cutting down the potential tying run at the plate, to enable the A's to emerge with a 4-3 victory. The Rangers had picked up one run in the ninth and had two men on base with one out when Murphy grabbed a single by pinch-hitter Dave Roberts and threw out Pat Putnam who tried to score from second. Bob Lacey then retired Mickey Rivers to pick up the save in relief of Mike Norris. Tony Armas and Wayne Gross each hit a run-scoring triple and Mitchell Page knocked in two runs with singles to account for the A's scoring.

Phillies 7, Cubs 0 at Chicago (day game):
Steve Carlton combined with Dickie Noles on a shutout and gained his ninth victory as the Phillies defeated the Cubs, 7-0. Carlton pitched seven innings, allowed only four hits, struck out 11 and did not issue a pass. Mike Schmidt was the standout in the batting department, smashing two homers and driving in three runs.

Braves 6, Dodgers 5 at Los Angeles (night game):
Luis Gomez drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning to force in what proved to be the Braves' deciding run in a 6-5 victory over the Dodgers. Losing, 6-3, the Dodgers rallied for two runs in their half of the ninth on a single by Reggie Smith, but Steve Garvey, who had hit an earlier homer, was retired to end the game. Bill Nahorodny hit his first N. L. homer for the Braves in the fourth. Gomez had driven in two runs with a single in the fifth to pace the Braves to a 5-0 lead.

Pirates 5, Mets 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Bert Blyleven, who walked out on the Pirates earlier in the season in dissatisfaction over his handling by Manager Chuck Tanner, achieved his first victory of the year, defeating the Mets, 5-0. The shutout was the 40th of his career. Craig Swan, who was the loser, yielded only three hits, but they included homers by Dave Parker and Omar Moreno. Parker also knocked in two runs with a double off reliever Jeff Reardon in the eighth.

Padres 7, Reds 5 at San Diego (night game):
A pinch-single by Kurt Bevacqua ignited a three-run rally in the eighth inning, enabling the Padres to snap their five-game losing streak with a 7-5 victory over the Reds.

Astros 5, Giants 0 at San Francisco (day game):
J.R. Richard allowed only three hits and posted his second shutout of the season, pitching the Astros to a 5-0 victory over the Giants. The Astros' batting support of Richard included a homer by Joe Morgan.

Cardinals 8, Expos 6 at St. Louis (night game):
Pete Vuckovich, who went from the starting rotation to the bullpen in an effort to help the floundering Cardinals, pitched four innings in relief and received credit for a save in an 8-6 victory over the Expos. The win was only the third for the Redbirds in their last 19 games. George Hendrick hit a three-run homer for the Cards and Dane Iorg went 4-for-4 with two RBIs. Gary Carter also had a 4-for-4 night for the Expos, including two homers, and drove in five runs. One of Carter's homers resulted when Iorg and Tony Scott collided going after a fly ball to left-center field.
