Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 5, Mariners 4 at Baltimore (night game):
A pair of homers by Ken Singleton and a round-tripper by Gary Roenicke powered the Orioles to a 5-4 triumph over the Mariners. Singleton's first blast was a solo shot in the first inning and his second was a two-run clout in the fifth. Roenicke connected with the bases empty in the sixth.

Red Sox 4, Angels 3 at Boston (night game):
Four runs in the third inning carried the Red Sox to their eighth straight victory, 4-3, over the Angels. The four runs came on a single by Glenn Hoffman, infield out by Jim Dwyer and two-run single by Tony Perez, who raised his RBI total to 90, the 12th time in his career he's reached that level.

White Sox 11, Tigers 3 at Detroit (night game):
Lashing out 19 hits, the White Sox enjoyed a 11-3 rout of the Tigers. The Sox scored in the first inning on an RBI single by Lamar Johnson and again in the third on a run-scoring single by Wayne Nordhagen. A five-run fifth was highlighted by Glenn Borgmann's two-run homer and a two-run triple by Mike Squires.

Brewers 6, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
In his first major league start, Bob McClure went the route, hurling a six-hitter as the Brewers defeated the Royals, 6-1. George Brett went 1-for-3 as his average dropped to .401. Milwaukee tallied two runs in the first on a double by Robin Yount, RBI single by Cecil Cooper, a stolen base, an error and a single by Ben Oglivie. Cooper raised his league-leading RBI total to 103 with a squeeze bunt in the fourth.

Indians 5, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Recording the 10th victory in his last 11 decisions, Len Barker pitched the Indians to a 5-2 victory over the Twins. A homer by Ron Hassey following a walk to Toby Harrah gave the Indians a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Joe Charboneau slapped a single in the third to make it 3-0 and Jorge Orta clouted a solo homer in the fifth. Barker struck out 11, raising his league-leading total to 150.

Yankees 5, A's 0 at New York (day game):
The four-hit pitching of Tom Underwood carried the Yankees to a 5-0 blanking of the A's. The Yanks scored three times in the fourth inning on RBI doubles by Oscar Gamble and Lou Piniella and a sacrifice fly by Jim Spencer. Gamble and Reggie Jackson clouted back-to-back homers in the sixth.

Rangers 9, Blue Jays 1 at Texas (night game):
Knocking in five runs with a homer and double, Johnny Grubb led the Rangers to a 9-1 thrashing of the Blue Jays. Grubb's circuit clout came in the third inning and followed singles by Bud Harrelson and Billy Sample. His two-bagger came in the fourth, preceded by walks to Harrelson and Sample.

Braves 5, Cubs 2 at Chicago (day game):
The Braves won their 67th game of the season -- one more than all of last year -- as they defeated the Cubs, 5-2. Atlanta scored two runs in the second inning on a bases-loaded single by Bruce Benedict. Glenn Hubbard rapped an RBI single in the third. Gary Matthews had a run-scoring single in the fourth and Horner an RBI single in the eighth.

Dodgers 5, Mets 2 at Los Angeles (day game):
The Dodgers registered their fifth straight victory, a 5-2 triumph over the Mets. L.A. scored twice in the second inning on an RBI double by Ron Cey and run-scoring single by Bob Welch. Cey blasted a solo homer in the fourth and Dusty Baker connected for a bases-empty shot in the sixth. The Dodgers' final marker came in the eighth on Steve Garvey's single.

[DH] Astros 10, Pirates 4 (day game) / Pirates 7, Astros 5 at Pittsburgh (day game):
The Astros and Pirates split a doubleheader, the Astros winning the first game, 10-4, and the Bucs ending their eight-game losing streak with a 7-5 triumph in the nightcap. Joe Morgan began the first game with a homer. A two-run double by Rafael Landestoy capped the five-run opening outburst. A two-run single by Terry Puhl climaxed a four-run fifth inning. In the second game, Rick Rhoden, getting relief from Grant Jackson, was the winner and helped his own cause with a homer, two doubles and three RBIs.

Expos 5, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
Snapping a five-game losing skein, the Expos prevailed over the Padres, 5-3. The Expos tallied twice in the fourth inning on a solo homer by Rowland Office and sacrifice fly by Gary Carter. They made it 3-0 in the sixth on a triple by Rodney Scott and sacrifice fly by Office. After the Padres scored twice in the sixth on Jerry Mumphrey's infield hit and an infield out by Ozzie Smith, the Expos registered single runs in the seventh and eighth. An infield hit by Ron LeFlore plated the seventh-inning marker and a throwing error by Broderick Perkins allowed Andre Dawson to score in the eighth.

Phillies 6, Giants 4 at San Francisco (day game):
Recording his 21st victory, Steve Carlton hurled the Phillies to a 6-4 decision over the Giants. The Phils broke a 4-4 tie in the eighth on an infield hit by Larry Bowa, a wild pitch and Bob Boone's RBI single. They added another marker later in that frame on an error by second baseman Rennie Stennett.

Reds 8, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (day game):
Paced by George Foster, who went 4-for-5 and drove in two runs, the Reds routed the Cardinals, 8-1. The Reds kayoed St. Louis starter Jim Kaat in the first inning on a single by Ron Oester, RBI double by Dave Concepcion, run-scoring triple by Foster, RBI single by Johnny Bench and singles by Dan Driessen and Ray Knight.
