Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Orioles 3, Indians 2 (night game) / Indians 6, Orioles 4 at Baltimore (night game):
A homer by Gary Roenicke in the 13th inning gave the Orioles a 3-2 victory in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader before they lost the second game to the Indians, 6-4. The victory was empty for the defending champion Orioles, who had to surrender the East Division crown to the Yankees. The Indians' big blow in the nightcap was a two-run homer by Ron Hassey in the fifth inning.

[DH] Blue Jays 7, Red Sox 6 (day game) / Blue Jays 3, Red Sox 1 at Boston (night game):
Snapping a personal 10-game losing streak, Paul Mirabella pitched a three-hitter and posted a 3-1 victory as the Blue Jays completed the sweep of a doubleheader with the Red Sox after the winning first game, 7-6, in 17 innings. Dwight Evans cracked five hits, including a homer and three doubles, for the Red Sox in the opener, but the Jays tied the score at 6-6 in the ninth inning when Lloyd Moseby cracked a two-run homer. In the 17th, Al Woods led off with a single, took third after two out on a single by Bob Davis and scored the Jays' winning run on a single by Garth Iorg. The victory in the A L.'s longest contest ofthe season broke the Blue Jays' eight-game losing string.

White Sox 4, Angels 2 at Chicago (day game):
A three-run homer by Jim Morrison in the fourth inning lifted the White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Angels in a game that saw 57-year-old Minnie Minoso become only the second player in major league history to play in five decades. The White Sox coach, who was activated recently, batted for Greg Pryor in the seventh inning and fouled out. Nick Altrock of the Chicago White Sox and the old Washington Senators was the first player whose career spanned five decades.

Royals 17, Twins 1 at Kansas City (night game):
The Twins' 12-game winning streak was shattered by the Royals, who piled up a 17-1 victory behind the pitching of Dennis Leonard, who became a 20-game winner for the third time in four years. Willie Wilson, who struck out twice in the first inning when the Royals scored five runs, came back with run-scoring singles in his next three trips and broke two records and tied one. Wilson brought his singles total to 183, surpassing Sam Rice's high of 182 in 1925, and his last at-bat in the game was his 701st of the season, making him the first player in history to bat more than 700 times in one year. Wilson also became the second player in history to collect 100 hits from each side of the plate, matching last year's feat by Garry Templeton of the Cardinals.

A's 4, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
Rickey Henderson stole his 99th and 100th bases of the season and Bob Lacey, previously used only in relief, started and pitched the A's to a 4-0 victory over the Brewers.

[DH] Yankees 5, Tigers 2 (day game) / Tigers 7, Yankees 6 at New York (night game):
The Yankees regained the East Division crown from the Orioles, winning the title for the fourth time in five seasons, by defeating the Tigers, 5-2, in the opener of a doubleheader. The loss of the nightcap, 7-6, was meaningless. Reggie Jackson provided the dramatic blow in the championship clincher, smashing a three-run homer in the fifth inning. Lynn Jones led the Tigers to their victory by driving in four runs, including three with a triple in the eighth inning.

Rangers 11, Mariners 6 at Texas (night game):
Back-to-back homers by Johnny Grubb and Buddy Bell in the seventh inning followed with a three-run smash by Rusty Staub in the eighth helped power the Rangers to an 11-6 victory over the Mariners. The Rangers trailed, 3-1, until the sixth when they rallied for four runs, with the pair of go-ahead counters crossing the plate on a double by Bud Harrelson.

Reds 3, Braves 2 at Cincinnati (day game):
A homer by George Foster with a man on base capped a three-run outburst in the third inning and carried the Reds to a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Ken Griffey plated the first run with a sacrifice fly before Foster hit his homer. The Braves counted their pair on a round-tripper by Dale Murphy in the seventh.

Dodgers 2, Astros 1 at Los Angeles (day game):
Steve Garvey singled and scored in the second inning and homered in the fourth to enable the Dodgers to defeat the Astros, 2-1, and keep alive their chances to tie for the West Division title and force playoff a game. After his single in the second, Steve Garvey completed his circuit of the bases on singles by Pedro Guerrero and Derrel Thomas. The Astros tied the count in the fourth on singles by Jose Cruz and Art Howe around a stolen base before Garvey's homer decided the outcome of the pitching duel between Jerry Reuss and Nolan Ryan.

Phillies 6, Expos 4 at Montreal (day game):
A record-breaking 48th homer by Mike Schmidt with a man on base in the 11th inning won the East Division title for the Phillies, who defeated the Expos, 6-4. With his round-tripper, Schmidt set a major league record for homers by a third baseman, breaking the former mark of Eddie Matthews of the Milwaukee Braves in 1957. Jerry White drove in three runs for the Expos with a homer and sacrifice fly and Rodney Scott batted in one with a double to provide a 4-3 lead, but the Phillies rallied to tie the score in the ninth inning on a pass to Pete Rose, forceout by Bake McBride, infield out by Schmidt and single by pinch-hitter Bob Boone. In the 11th Rose singled and McBride popped up before Schmidt fortified his claim on the National League MVP award with the title-winning homer.

Cubs 6, Pirates 0 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Bidding for the batting title, Bill Buckner rapped three hits, including a homer, in five trips and raised his average to .326 as the Cubs defeated the Pirates, 6-0. Lynn McGlothen allowed only four hits and needed just 90 pitches to post the shutout.

Giants 4, Padres 2 at San Francisco (day game):
Darrell Evans hit a homer and drove in two other runs with infield outs to pace the Giants to a 4-2 victory over the Padres.

Mets 5, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (day game):
Dan Norman drove in two runs with a pair of singles and Hubie Brooks hit his first major league homer to lead the Mets to a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals. Keith Hernandez had a round-tripper for the Cardinals.
