Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 9, Angels 2 at California (night game):
The Indians gained their 10th straight victory in Anaheim Stadium since July 18, 1973, when they defeated Nolan Ryan, 9-2. to complete the sweep of a three-game series with the Angels. Buddy Bell and John Lowenstein each drove in three runs. Bell homered with a man on base in the third inning, but the Angels came back with a two-run single by Tommy Harper in their half for the only scoring off Eric Raich, who gained his first major league victory. The Indians finally broke the tie with four runs off Ryan in the seventh. Oscar Gamble doubled and both runners were safe when Jerry Remy threw late to third on a grounder by Frank Duffy. With one away, Gamble beat the throw home by Bruce Bochte on a grounder by Alan Ashby. Bell brought Duffy home with a sacrifice fly and Lowenstein then capped the outburst with a two-run homer. The Indians added three runs off reliever Dick Lange for good measure in the ninth inning.

Twins 5, Tigers 2 at Detroit (night game):
Since losing his initial decision of the season, Jim Hughes, Twins' rookie righthander, had six straight victories to his credit after beating the Tigers, 5-2. Hughes escaped from trouble in the first inning at the expense of only one run on a pass to Leon Roberts with bases loaded. A single by Steve Braun and double by Rod Carew tied the score in the third. The Twins finally broke away in the seventh. Braun walked and when Ron LeFlore overran a fly ball by Carew, runners wound up at second and third on the error. Following an intentional pass to Bobby Darwin, Tony Oliva singled to drive in two runs. Tom Veryzer homered in the Tigers' half, but the Twins added a pair in the eighth when Glenn Borgmann was safe on an error and Braun hit for the circuit.

Yankees 6, Royals 2 at Kansas City (night game):
Bobby Bonds belted a pair of two-run homers to pace the Yankees' attack in a 6-2 victory over the Royals, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. Bonds hit for the circuit in the third inning and again in the fifth, each time scoring behind Fred Stanley. The Yankees added two more runs in the fifth after Bonds' second blow on a pass to Thurman Munson and doubles by Chris Chambliss and Graig Nettles.

White Sox 9, Brewers 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
Carlos May, Ken Henderson and Tony Muser, who had six hits among them, each drove in two runs to lead the White Sox to a 9-3 victory over the Brewers. With their support, Stan Bahnsen gained his third straight victory against four defeats and turned in his first route-going performance of the season.

A's 5, Orioles 0 at Oakland (night game):
Vida Blue allowed only four hits and pitched a shutout, while Mike Torrez, who also gave up only four hits, was tagged for three homers as the Orioles lost to the Athletics, 5-0, for their seventh straight defeat and 11th in the last 12 games. The scoreless duel was broken in the sixth inning when Sal Bando homered. Then, after a pass to Joe Rudi, Billy Williams also hit for the circuit. Reggie Jackson climaxed the scoring with a two-run smash in the eighth.

Red Sox 4, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
Bill Lee extended his scoreless pitching streak to 29 innings before it was broken on his own error, but the Red Sox lefthander gave up only four hits and beat the Rangers, 4-1. Lee attempted to pick Roy Smalley off first base in the eighth inning and threw wildly, allowing Leo Cardenas to score from third. Tim Blackwell, who went into the game with only one hit to his credit this season, rapped a pair of singles for the Red Sox, driving in one run and scoring one to help pin the defeat on Fergie Jenkins.

Cubs 5, Braves 4 at Chicago (day game):
Although driving in what proved to be the winning run, Bill Bonham was knocked out in the fifth inning and failed to get credit for the Cubs' 5-4 victory over the Braves. The decision went to Oscar Zamora, the second of the Cubs' two relievers. After Bonham gave up a run in the first, the Cubs came back with four in the third on a single by Bonham, pass to Jose Cardenal, single by Rick Monday, sacrifice fly by Bill Madlock, double by Andre Thornton and single by Pete LaCock. Manny Trillo opened the fourth with a triple and Bonham followed with his second single of the game to put the Cubs ahead, 5-1. However, Bonham was tagged for two runs in the fifth on a bases-loaded single by Earl Williams. When Dusty Baker walked to reload the sacks, Bonham was removed, one out short of completing the required five innings for a starting pitcher's victory. Geoff Zahn gave up singles by Larvell Blanks and Vic Correll in the sixth and yielded the mound to Zamora. The Braves then scored their last run on a sacrifice bunt by Rod Gilbreath and sacrifice fly by Ralph Garr.

Reds 6, Expos 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
Allowing only two hits, Gary Nolan pitched the Reds to a 6-0 victory over the Expos for the righthander's first shutout since June 26, 1972. Nolan, making a comeback from shoulder surgery last May, extended the Reds' winning streak to seven games. Joe Morgan opened the scoring with a homer in the fourth inning. The Reds posted two more runs in the fifth on singles by Nolan, Pete Rose and Ken Griffey, together with a wild pitch. Walks to Griffey and Morgan, a double by Johnny Bench and sacrifice fly by Dan Driessen added a pair in the seventh. A single by Dave Concepcion, an infield out and double by Doug Flynn wrapped up the scoring in the eighth.

Mets 4, Dodgers 3 at New York (night game):
Manager Walter Alston called on Andy Messersmith for his first relief appearance in a Los Angeles uniform, but the move was unsuccessful as the Dodgers lost to the Mets, 4-3. Felix Millan singled in the eighth inning and Jesus Alou sacrificed before Messersmith came out of the bullpen to replace Doug Rau. Joe Torre greeted Messersmith with a single, sending Millan to third, and Ed Kranepool followed with a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run. Messersmith's last previous relief appearance came on August 6, 1972, while the righthander was with the Angels.

Phillies 8, Giants 6 at Philadelphia (night game):
Jerry Martin hit his first major league homer, connecting with a man on base in the fourth inning, to put the Phillies ahead en route to an 8-6 victory over the Giants. The rookie outfielder's blow wiped out the Giants' 2-1 lead. The Phillies' first run was a homer by Mike Anderson, and Greg Luzinski made it 4-2 with a run-scoring grounder in the fifth. The Giants picked up a tally in the sixth on a double by Jake Brown, an infield out and wild pitch, but the Phillies then erupted for four runs in the seventh, two scoring on a bases-loaded double by Mike Schmidt. Steve Carlton was the winner, but needed help from Tug McGraw in the ninth when the Giants rallied for three runs.

Pirates 3, Astros 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Although Ken Brett gave up nine hits to four allowed by Dave Roberts, the Pirates' lefthander was able to shut out the Astros, 3-0. Roberts' fate was decided in the second inning when Manny Sanguillen walked and Dave Parker smashed a homer. The other run counted in the sixth on singles by Rennie Stennett and Willie Stargell and a sacrifice fly by Bill Robinson.

Cardinals 6, Padres 5 at St. Louis (day game):
A two-out single by Luis Melendez with the bases loaded in the 10th inning drove in Lou Brock and gave the Cardinals a 6-5 victory over the Padres. Reggie Smith hit a homer and double to help the Cards take a 5-0 lead, but the Padres rallied to wipe out their deficit, tying the score with an unearned run in the eighth. Tito Fuentes singled and when Ted Simmons threw wild in a pickoff attempt and Smith made an errant throw in returning the ball to the infield, Fuentes reached third in position to score on a sacrifice fly Willie McCovey. In the 10th, Brock doubled and advanced to third on a bunt by Ted Sizemore. Bill Greif, pitching in relief for the Padres, passed Smith and Simmons intentionally to load the bases. Danny Cater went out on a short fly to right field, but Melendez came through with his fourth winning hit of the season.
