Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 9, Angels 3 at California (day game):
Playing without manager Frank Robinson, who was sitting out a three-day suspension, the Indians belted out 13 hits, three by both Frank Duffy and George Hendrick, to turn back the Angels, 9-3. Oscar Gamble singled home two runs in the first and Buddy Bell and Hendrick had RBI singles in the second to kayo California starter Frank Tanana. Fritz Peterson, who went the route for the victory, faltered briefly in the fourth, giving up a three-run, two-out double to pinch-hitter Winston Llenas which cut the Cleveland lead to one. Charlie Spikes hit his first homer of the season in the top of the fifth and Duffy doubled home a run in the sixth. The Tribe salted it away with three unearned tallies in the ninth, two of them coming home on Ed Crosby's single.

Tigers 6, Twins 2 at Detroit (night game):
Dan Meyer gave rookie hurler Vern Ruhle a 2-0 lead with a first-inning home run and the Tigers never trailed as they ended the Twins' four-game winning streak, 6-2. Aurelio Rodriguez pounded a solo four-bagger off loser Bill Campbell in the second and drove in Detroit's final two runs with a double in the eighth. Gary Sutherland's RBI single accounted for the other Tiger run in the fifth. The Twins, who scored an unearned run in the second, got their only other marker on Tom Kelly's homer in the fourth.

Royals 6, Yankees 5 at Kansas City (night game):
The Royals scored twice in the ninth to tie the score and used Frank White's one-out squeeze bunt in the 11th to push across the clincher as they nipped the Yankees, 6-5. Jim Wohlford bunted into a forceout in the 11th and moved to third on a single by Fran Healy, who had driven home the tying run in the ninth and scored on White's squeeze. New York, with Chris Chambliss contributing two doubles and a single, scoring three runs, had built a 5-1 lead through 7½ innings. But the Royals scored a pair in the eighth and deadlocked the score in the ninth on singles by Harmon Killebrew, Cookie Rojas, George Brett and Healy.

White Sox 4, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (day game):
Back-to-back, two-out homers in the top of the ninth by Bucky Dent and Brian Downing sent the Brewers down to their sixth straight defeat, giving Jim Kaat his eighth victory of the season with the White Sox, 4-2. Dent and Downing connected off reliever Jim Colborn after the Sox had lost an earlier 2-0 lead. A walk and singles by Tony Muser and Dent produced the first run in the second inning and Jorge Orta homered in the third. The Brewers got one back in the fifth on Pedro Garcia's double, a fly out by Kurt Bevacqua and infield out by Bill Sharp, then tied the score in the seventh when Sharp doubled on the heels of a two-out single by Bevacqua. Kaat needed ninth-inning help from reliever Rich Gossage, who worked out of a two-on, one-out situation.

A's 6, Orioles 5 at Oakland (day game):
The Athletics blew a 4-0 lead, but thanks to the timely bat of Gene Tenace, edged the slump-ridden Orioles in the 11th, 6-5. Tenace produced the winners' early lead with an RBI single in the second and three-run homer in the third, then drove across the deciding run with an 11th-inning single. Oakland led, 5-1. after a fourth-inning solo homer by Phil Garner, but the Orioles chased A's starter Ken Holtzman in the sixth, scoring a pair on a walk, single by Don Baylor and Brooks Robinson's second double. Jim Perry came on in relief, but gave up a game-tying, two-run homer to pinch-hitter Jim Northrup. In the 11th, Joe Rudi singled with two out and Angel Mangual followed with a single. Tenace then dealt the Orioles their fifth straight loss with his third hit of the game.

Red Sox 7, Rangers 5 at Texas (night game):
Dwight Evans' two-run homer in the eighth snapped a tie as the Red Sox sent the Rangers to their fourth straight defeat, 7-5. The decisive two-out blast came with Fred Lynn aboard. Boston had taken a 5-3 lead in the top of the seventh on a single by Jim Rice, Rico Petrocelli's double, a groundout by pinch-hitter Cecil Cooper, walk to Tim Blackwell and Bernie Carbo's eighth homer of the season. But the Rangers came back to tie in the same frame when Willie Davis hit a two-run round-tripper. Texas built a 3-0 lead through the first four innings with Jim Spencer contributing a solo homer.

Cubs 6, Braves 0 at Chicago (day game):
Ray Burris limited the Braves to four hits and slump-ridden Manny Trillo triggered a five-run fifth inning with a homer as the Cubs rolled past the Braves, 6-0, to end their five-game losing streak. Backed by three double plays, Burris faced only 30 batters, but was locked in a scoreless duel with Atlanta starter Roric Harrison until Trillo, hitless in his last 29 trips, opened the fifth with a homer. Harrison then issued walks to Burris and Don Kessinger. Jose Cardenal doubled home Burris and Kessinger and Cardenal scored on a single by Pete LaCock. Burris also scored the Cubs' final run in the sixth, when he walked and came around on Kessinger's two-out double.

[DH] Reds 4, Expos 3 (day game) / Reds 5, Expos 4 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Reds swept past the Expos, 4-3 and 5-4, running their winning streak to five games with Johnny Bench capping a five-run fourth inning in the second game by belting his second grand slam of the season. Darrel Chaney's single opened the decisive frame. Loser Steve Renko walked the next three Cincinnati batters to force home a run before Bench unloaded his 10th homer of the season and sixth career slam to wipe out a 4-0 Expo advantage. Montreal took a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning of the opener on Mike Jorgensen's two-run homer, but the Reds got the equalizer in the bottom of the inning on Gary Carter's throwing error and scored the winner in the seventh when Dave Concepcion singled, Tim Foli threw late to second on an attempted force play on a grounder by Bench, Merv Rettenmund walked and loser Woodie Fryman balked with the bases loaded.

Mets 6, Dodgers 3 at New York (day game):
Wayne Garrett's pinch three-run homer with one out in the ninth lifted the Mets to a 6-3 triumph over the Dodgers and pinned Andy Messersmith with his first defeat in eight decisions. Garrett, swinging for winning pitcher Tom Seaver, teed off following Mike Phillips' triple and an intentional pass to Jerry Grote. Los Angeles came from a 3-1 deficit in the seventh, tying the score on Ron Cey's double following a walk to Jim Wynn, and Willie Crawford's two-out single. The Mets snapped a 1-1 tie in the third on solo homers by Del Unser and Ed Kranepool.

Phillies 1, Giants 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
The Giants, who had been 5-0 in extra-inning games this season, handed the Phillies a 1-0 victory with two 11th-inning errors. Larry Bowa singled with two out, moved to second on a wild pickoff attempt by Ed Halicki and scored when Dick Allen's grounder got through third baseman Ed Goodson. Ed Halicki, who retired 21 straight Phillie batters from the third through the 10th, was the loser as the Giants' seven-game winning streak was halted. Tug McGraw, who worked the last 3 1/3 innings in relief of starter Wayne Twitchell, got the victory, Philadelphia's first in seven contests.

Pirates 10, Astros 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates pounded four Astros pitchers for 13 hits, including Willie Stargell's eighth homer of the season, and cruised to a 10-2 triumph behind Bruce Kison's five-hit effort. Stargell cracked a two-run triple in the fifth after walks to Frank Taveras and Rennie Stennett and scored on Al Oliver's double off Houston starter-loser J.R. Richard. The Pirate outfielder's homer opened a four-run Pittsburgh seventh. Following two walks, Manny Sanguillen, Bill Robinson and Art Howe drove home runs with singles. Robinson singled home the winners' first run in the second inning. The Pirates also scored single runs in the third and sixth with Dave Parker and Kison getting the RBIs. The Astros reached Kison for one run in the third on a walk and singles by Greg Gross and Bob Watson, then scored their final marker in the eighth on a walk and base hits by Cesar Cedeno and Milt May.

Padres 9, Cardinals 6 at St. Louis (night game):
The Padres scored five times in the last three innings, getting a tie-breaking RBI single from Willie McCovey in the ninth, and turned back the Cardinals, 9-6. Pinch-hitter Mike Ivie and Tito Fuentes followed McCovey with run-scoring singles. San Diego pulled into a 6-6 tie in the seventh with a pair of runs, driven home by singles off the bats of Bobby Tolan and Dave Winfield. Winfield's RBI single and a two-run double by Fuentes gave San Diego a quick 3-0 lead in the first against Bob Gibson. The Cards got a pair of runs in the third, then surged to a 6-4 lead in the fifth when Reggie Smith hit a two-run homer, Ted Simmons walked and Luis Melendez, Ken Reitz and Mario Guerrero delivered two-out singles. Padre starter Joe McIntosh drove in the visitors' fourth run with a fourth-inning sacrifice fly.
