Today's scores and summaries:

Rangers 4, Red Sox 3 at Boston (night game):
Pushing across a run in the ninth inning, the Rangers edged the Red Sox, 4-3. Buddy Bell began the stanza with a single. After a sacrifice by Rusty Staub, Bell scored on a single by Pat Putnam.

Angels 6, Tigers 4 at California (night game):
After squandering an early 4-0 lead, the Angels prevailed over the Tigers, 6-4. The game was tied, 4-4, in the seventh inning, when Jason Thompson doubled, took third as Joe Rudi flied out and, after a walk to Bobby Grich, scored the go-ahead run on a single by Larry Harlow. A single by Thompson drove in the Angels' insurance marker in the eighth. Lance Parrish clouted two homers for the Tigers, the second coming in the sixth inning with a mate aboard to forge a 4-4 deadlock.

White Sox 6, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
The White Sox spoiled the comeback attempt of Steve Busby by pounding the erstwhile All-Star pitcher for six runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings en route to a 6-1 victory over the Royals. Busby, coming back from the minors, made his first start since last August 3. The White Sox broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning, loading the bases and scoring two runs on grounders by Greg Pryor and Bob Molinaro. Three tallies followed in the fifth, two coming in on a double by Kevin Bell.

Orioles 8, Twins 4 at Minnesota (night game):
Driving in four runs with a homer and a double, Dan Graham paced the Orioles to an 8-4 victory over the Twins. The Orioles scored four times in their first turn at bat with three runs coming on Graham's round-tripper. Three more runs counted in the fifth on a run-scoring single by Ken Singleton, a double-play groundout and double by Graham.

[DH] Yankees 3, Brewers 0 (night game) / Brewers 4, Yankees 1 at New York (night game):
The Yankees won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 3-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Tommy John but then lost the second game to the Brewers, 4-1. The Yanks scored all their runs in the fifth inning of the opener on a single by Ruppert Jones, double by Johnny Oates, single by Bucky Dent, a sacrifice and single by Bobby Murcer. In the nightcap, delayed more than two hours by rain after the first inning, Milwaukee opened a lead in the second inning on a single by Gorman Thomas, double by Dick Davis and two-run single by Ed Romero. Their two other runs followed in the third on a homer by Don Money.

[DH] Blue Jays 6, A's 2 (night game) / A's 5, Blue Jays 1 at Oakland (day game):
Dividing a twi-night doubleheader, the Blue Jays took the first game, 6-2, and the A's won the second, 5-1, as Mike Norris hurled a four-hitter. Otto Velez and Roy Howell hit homers in the second inning of the opener to spark the Jays' attack. In the nightcap, the A's scored twice in the second inning on RBI singles by Mike Heath and Rickey Henderson. Two more runs came home in the fourth when Toronto pitcher Paul Mirabella threw away a sacrifice bunt with two men on base. Tony Armas drove in the final A's tally in the seventh with a single.

Indians 4, Mariners 0 at Seattle (night game):
Len Barker pitched a four-hitter as the Indians blanked the Mariners, 4-0. All Cleveland runs came in the opening inning. With one out, Jorge Orta reached first safely on an error, Mike Hargrove singled and Toby Harrah tripled home two tallies. A single by Joe Charboneau plated Harrah. After moving to third on a wild pitch, Charboneau scored on a single by Bo Diaz.

Braves 7, Expos 5 at Atlanta (night game):
A two-run single by Glenn Hubbard in the eighth inning was the decisive blow as the Braves downed the Expos, 7-5. Jeff Burroughs began the stanza with a single and reached second on an error by left fielder Ron LeFlore. After pinch-hitter Biff Pocoroba walked, Bruce Benedict moved the runners up with a sacrifice. Woodie Fryman then replaced Stan Bahnsen on the mound for Montreal and struck out Charlie Spikes, but Hubbard lined a 1-0 pitch up the middle to plate Burroughs and Pocoroba. Bob Horner connected for two homers, giving him 13 for the month of July, two short of the major league record shared by Joe DiMaggio, Joe Adcock and Hank Greenberg.

Cubs 3, Giants 1 at Chicago (day game):
A two-run homer by Larry Herndon in the 15th inning gave the Giants a 2-0 victory over the Cubs in the completion of the contest that was suspended the previous day at the end of 12 innings because of darkness. The Cubs then triumphed, 3-1, in the regularly-scheduled game behind the six-hit pitching of Dennis Lamp. The Cubs loaded the bases in the fourth inning on singles by Lenny Randle and Bill Buckner and an error by Frisco third baseman Darrell Evans on a grounder by Barry Foote. Mike Vail then drilled a two-run double to put the Cubs ahead, 2-1, and Steve Dillard capped the scoring with an RBI single.

Reds 3, Phillies 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
A triple by Ray Knight keyed a two-run sixth inning that lifted the Reds to a 3-2 triumph over the Phillies and pinned the defeat on Steve Carlton. The game was tied, 1-1, when Johnny Bench singled, Knight tripled him home and then scored on a single by Dan Driessen.

Astros 6, Mets 5 at Houston (night game):
A pinch-homer by Jeff Leonard highlighted a three-run sixth inning that lifted the Astros to a 6-5 triumph over the Mets. The Astros trailed, 5-3, when Craig Reynolds opened the sixth with a walk. Leonard then drilled his round-tripper to tie the game. Terry Puhl and Danny Heep followed with singles and Jose Cruz sent the decisive tally across the plate with another single.

Pirates 4, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
Jim Bibby, with relief help, won his 12th game of the season as the Pirates shaded the Padres, 4-3, and took over first place in the East Division. The Bucs scored in the fifth inning when Lee Lacy doubled, moved to third on a sacrifice and came home on a single by Steve Nicosia. The second Pittsburgh tally came in the seventh when Padres second baseman Dave Cash, thinking the side had been retired, neglected to throw to first base to complete a double play, enabling the runner to score from third. The Pirates then registered the deciding markers in the eighth on a wild pitch and a double by Bill Madlock.

Cardinals 3, Dodgers 2 at St. Louis (night game):
A sacrifice fly by Terry Kennedy in the seventh inning enabled the Cardinals to post a 3-2 triumph over the Dodgers. L.A. took a 2-0 lead in the second on a homer by Ron Cey and RBI single by Pedro Guerrero. The Redbirds tied the contest with homers by Ted Simmons in the fourth and Leon Durham in the sixth. Dane Iorg opened the seventh with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice by Ken Reitz and came home when Kennedy lifted a fly to left.
