Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 12, Red Sox 8 at Boston (night game):
Don Baylor had a 5-for-5 night and hit one of the Orioles' four homers in a 12-8 victory over the Red Sox. Bobby Grich, Brooks Robinson and Ken Singleton also rapped round-trippers for the Orioles, while the Red Sox had circuit clouts by Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk. With the score tied, 6-6, the Orioles erupted for four runs in the seventh on a single by Baylor, double by Grich and homers by Robinson and Singleton. Baylor's boundary belt with Tommy Davis on base in the eighth clinched the outcome.

White Sox 4, Angels 2 at Chicago (night game):
With a two-run triple by Brian Downing as the deciding blow, the White Sox defeated the Angels, 4-2, to enable Wilbur Wood to receive credit for his sixth straight victory. Jerry Hairston walked and Bucky Dent singled before Downing hit his first triple of the season in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie. Wood was lifted in the seventh and Rich Gossage gave up a run-scoring single by Adrian Garrett before checking the Angels the rest of the way.

Indians 6, Tigers 4 at Cleveland (night game):
Charlie Spikes, who had only 20 RBIs to his credit previously this season, batted in four runs with a homer and single to lead the Indians to a 6-4 victory over the Tigers. Spikes hit his homer with a man on base in the second inning. After manager Frank Robinson drove in a run with a single in the fifth for the 1,800th RBI of his career, Spikes sent two runs across with his single.

Royals 6, Twins 5 at Kansas City (night game):
After tying the score with a homer by John Mayberry in the ninth inning, the Royals pushed over a run in the 10th and defeated the Twins, 6-5. Al Cowens drew a walk to open the overtime stanza and Buck Martinez sacrificed. The Twins then walked Cookie Rojas intentionally to get at Fred Patek, who broke up the game with a single that scored Cowens.

Yankees 2, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Yankees gained their first victory of the season in Milwaukee, after losing five previous contests, when Thurman Munson drove in a run with a single in the eighth inning to beat the Brewers, 2-1. Fred Stanley walked and Roy White singled before Munson decided the game with his hit.

Rangers 12, A's 0 at Texas (night game):
Despite experiencing stomach cramps, Fergie Jenkins yielded only six hits and was an easy winner as the Rangers routed the Athletics, 12-0. Lenny Randle set a Texas club record by scoring four runs after reaching base on two walks and two hits. Mike Hargrove drove in three runs, including two with his first triple of the year.

Dodgers 9, Braves 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Dodgers went over 2,000,000 in attendance and marked the occasion by defeating the Braves, 9-1. The crowd of 25,036 at the game raised the Dodgers' total to 2,000,184. Darrell Evans homered for the Braves' run in the first inning. The Dodgers came back with three runs in the home half and then went into a slugging act of their own with a two-run homer by Willie Crawford in the fourth and consecutive clouts by Davey Lopes and Bill Buckner in the seventh.

Expos 4, Mets 3 at New York (night game):
After being held hitless by Randy Tate for 7 1/3 innings, the Expos broke the rookie righthander's hold and defeated the Mets, 4-3. Pinch-hitter Jim Lyttle singled for the first hit off Tate, who struck out 13. Pepe Mangual walked. Jim Dwyer fanned but Gary Carter singled, driving in Lyttle. Mike Jorgensen then came to bat and smashed a three-run homer to win the game for the Expos.

Cubs 3, Phillies 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Leading off the sixth inning as the first batter to face Tom Hilgendorf, Jose Cardenal homered on the reliever's first pitch to give the Cubs a 3-2 victory over the Phillies.

Astros 5, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
Rallying for three runs in the seventh inning, the Astros gained a 5-3 victory to spoil the night for the Padres, who drew a crowd of 15,000 to go over the million mark in attendance. Singles by Milt May, Jerry DaVanon and Tommy Helms, pinch-hitting for Joe Niekro, produced the first run in the seventh to tie the score at 3-3. After a pass to Wilbur Howard loaded the bases, Greg Gross singled and drove in two runs for the Astros' winning margin.

Reds 7, Giants 5 at San Francisco (night game):
The Reds' power asserted itself with a grand-slam homer by George Foster in the eighth inning and successive doubles by Pete Rose and Ken Griffey in the ninth to defeat the Giants, 7-5. Foster's smash off Randy Moffitt put the Reds ahead, 5-2, but the Giants tied the score with a three-run rally in their half of the eighth. Rose and Griffey broke the tie with their doubles in the ninth. Joe Morgan then beat out an infield hit to Chris Speier and when the Giants' shortstop threw wildly to first, Griffey came home with an insurance run.

Cardinals 5, Pirates 4 at St. Louis (night game):
Willie Davis, after making a wild throw from the outfield that enabled the Pirates to tie the score in the seventh inning, atoned for his error with a run-scoring single in the eighth to win the game for the Cardinals, 5-4. Bake McBride singled, advanced to second on an infield out by Luis Melendez and scored the deciding run on Davis' hit.
