Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 3, Red Sox 0 at Baltimore (day game):
Jim Palmer, who was on the Orioles' disabled list for two months last season and won only seven games while losing 12, continued his comeback pitching by shutting out the Red Sox, 3-0. The victory was the fifth straight for Palmer, bringing his current record to 12-3, and the shutout was his sixth. With two out in the first inning, the Orioles scored all their runs off Dick Pole on a walk to Al Bumbry, singles by Lee May, Don Baylor and Bobby Grich and an error by Rico Petrocelli.

[DH] Angels 4, Rangers 2 (night game) / Rangers 6, Angels 5 at California (night game):
Frank Tanana struck out 17 batters, setting an A. L. record for lefties, but two short of the major league record, while pitching the Angels to a 4-2 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, but the Rangers came back to win the second game, 6-5, getting their winning run on a homer by Tom Grieve in the ninth inning. The Angels, in the opener, scored all their runs in the third on singles by Dave Collins, Jerry Remy and Mickey Rivers and doubles by Leroy Stanton and Winston Llenas. Roy Smalley and Toby Harrah each had two of the Rangers' nine singles. Smalley scored both their runs with Harrah accounting for the RBIs. Jim Umbarger, who was the loser, came back in relief in the nightcap and pitched two innings to gain credit for the Rangers' victory. The Rangers' two catchers, Jim Sundberg and Bill Fahey, were hit on their throwing hands by foul tips and were forced out of the game. Lenny Randle, who had not caught previously in his pro career, donned a mask and mitt and worked behind the plate for the last five innings of the game.

Twins 8, White Sox 3 at Chicago (day game):
Dan Ford drove in three runs with a pair of homers and Steve Brye accounted for three with a single and double to supply the Twins' chief punch in an 8-3 victory over the White Sox. Bill Campbell turned in the first complete game of his major league career for the Twins, who beat Jim Kaat for the first time after losing to the lefthander four times since shipping him to the White Sox in August, 1973.

Brewers 11, Indians 9 at Cleveland (night game):
After getting two-run homers by Bobby Darwin and Gorman Thomas in their early scoring, the Brewers erupted for five runs in the eighth inning to eke out an 11-9 victory over the Indians. Dennis Eckersley, who had won four straight decisions for the Indians, was kayoed in the seventh and drew his first major league defeat, but the Brewers did their damage in the eighth against Jackie Brown and Tom Buskey on three singles, a double by Darrell Porter, triple by Bill Sharp and an error. The Indians then fell short in their half, chasing both Tom Hausman and Eduardo Rodriguez before Bill Travers came in to stop the rally.

Yankees 4, Tigers 1 at Detroit (day game):
Pat Dobson gained his eighth victory of the season with the Yankees and 100th of his major league career by defeating the Tigers, 4-1. Ed Brinkman, playing for the first time against his former Detroit teammates, singled to drive in the Yankees' first run in the second inning. Dobson protected the slim lead in his duel with Mickey Lolich until the Yankees gave him more working room with a run in the seventh on a triple by Bobby Bonds and sacrifice fly by Chris Chambliss. Two more tallies in the eighth iced the decision before the Tigers avoided a shutout with an unearned run in the ninth.

Royals 4, A's 1 at Oakland (day game):
Steve Busby pitched a five-hitter for his 10th victory and George Brett and Hal McRae rapped homers as the Royals defeated the Athletics. 4-1. The A's counted their tally in the first inning on a double by Bert Campaneris and single by Claudell Washington, but Brett tied the score with his homer in the third. An error by Phil Garner led to a pair of unearned runs in the fourth before McRae completed the scoring with his homer in the seventh.

Giants 4, Braves 3 at Atlanta (night game):
Steve Ontiveros hit his first homer of the season to provide the Giants' deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the Braves. A triple by Derrel Thomas and single by Von Joshua gave the Giants their initial run in the third and Dave Rader doubled for two more tallies in the fourth before Dusty Baker homered for the Braves. After Ontiveros' circuit clout in the sixth, Earl Williams whacked a two-run homer in the Braves' half, but Randy Moffitt replaced Mike Caldwell and stifled the Braves on one hit over the last 3 2/3 innings.

Reds 7, Astros 6 at Houston (night game):
Helping himself, Fred Norman singled in the 14th inning for his first hit of the season and scored the run that gave the Reds' reliever a 7-6 victory over the Astros. The Reds built up a 4-0 lead before the Astros tied the score in the sixth with two runs on a single by Bob Watson and two on a homer by Cliff Johnson. The Reds went ahead in the 10th, 6-4, when Tony Perez homered and George Foster knocked in another run with a double, but the Astros once more rallied to gain a tie with a walk, double by Greg Gross, infield out by Cesar Cedeno and double by Watson. However in the 14th, the Astros could not come back after the Reds scored on Norman's single, a double by Pete Rose and single by Ken Griffey.

Pirates 7, Mets 3 at New York (day game):
After Bruce Kison yielded three runs without retiring a batter in the first inning, four relievers pitched scoreless ball the rest of the way to enable the Pirates to defeat the Mets, 7-3. Kison gave up a walk to Wayne Garrett, singles by Felix Millan and Del Unser, a bases-loaded pass to Rusty Staub and single by Ed Kranepool before being lifted. Dave Parker hit a pinch-homer with two men on base to tie the score in the seventh. The Pirates then broke the game apart with four runs after two were out in the ninth. Rennie Stennett singled, stole second and scored on a single by Manny Sanguillen. Al Oliver singled and Bob Robertson walked to load the bases. Richie Zisk drew a pass to force in Oliver. Bill Robinson followed with a single to plate the final pair.

Expos 5, Phillies 1 at Philadelphia (day game):
Dennis Blair pitched the first seven innings and Don DeMola hurled the last two, combining on a seven-hitter as the Expos defeated the Phillies, 5-1. The Phillies counted their run in the first on doubles by Dave Cash and Greg Luzinski. The Expos had two hits, a triple by Larry Biittner and single by Gary Carter, in the first five frames, but they resulted in a pair of unearned runs off Jim Lonborg. The Expos then chased Lonborg in the seventh. After a walk to Bob Bailey and singles by Carter and Tim Foli resulted in one run, Tom Hilgendorf came in and gave up a double by Tony Scott for another run charged to Lonborg.

Dodgers 4, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
Steve Yeager, who homered earlier in the game, capped a two-run rally with a sacrifice fly in the eighth as the Dodgers beat the Padres, 4-3. The Padres, who did not leave a man on base, collected only three hits off Andy Messersmith, but they came together in the fifth inning to produce a 3-2 lead on a homer by Mike Ivie, single by Willie McCovey and homer by Bobby Tolan. The Dodgers scored the tying run in the eighth on a pass to Joe Ferguson with the bases loaded before Yeager hit his sacrifice fly for the winning marker.

Cubs 6, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
Bob Gibson, making his first start since May 31 after being taken out of the rotation by the Cardinals, was rapped for 11 hits in seven innings in a 6-1 loss to the Cubs. Jerry Morales jumped on Gibson for three straight hits, including a homer, and then made it a 4-for-4 night with a single off Mike Barlow in the ninth. Gibson at least saved the Cardinals from being shut out, driving in their only run off Rick Reuschel with a single in the fifth, scoring Ken Reitz, who beat out a grounder deep to Bill Madlock and took second on the third baseman's wild throw.
