Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 11, Angels 1 at Chicago (night game):
Ending a 2-for-28 slump, Bill Melton drove in five runs with a homer, double and single as the White Sox trounced the Angels, 11-1, behind the pitching of Jim Kaat, who posted his 16th victory.

Indians 5, Yankees 3 at Cleveland (night game):
Rico Carty, hitting at a .422 clip since July 6, smashed a three-run homer for the deciding blow as the Indians defeated the Yankees, 5-3. After Boog Powell drove in a run with a single in the first inning, the Indians were held hitless by Pat Dobson until the sixth when two infield singles set the stage for Carty's clout. The Yankees knocked out Fritz Peterson in the eighth, but Dave LaRoche brought the rally to an end by striking out Graig Nettles, Chris Chambliss and Sandy Alomar in succession.

[DH] Orioles 4, Tigers 2 (night game) / Orioles 8, Tigers 2 at Detroit (night game):
Led by Don Baylor, who collected six hits in seven trips, the Orioles swept a twi-night doubleheader, 4-2 and 8-2, to extend the Tigers' losing streak to 11 games. In the opener, the Orioles scored an unearned run in the second inning on singles by Baylor and Brooks Robinson around an error by Ron LeFlore. In the third, Lee May doubled to drive in Tommy Davis and then scored himself on a single by Jim Northrup. An error by John Knox led to another unearned run in the fourth. Dan Meyer hit a homer for the Tigers. The Orioles put the nightcap away with a five-run outburst in the sixth inning featuring a triple by Elrod Hendricks and doubles by Baylor, Doug DeCinces and Davis.

Royals 4, Twins 3 at Kansas City (night game):
The Royals overcame a 3-0 deficit with a four-run rally in the fourth inning to defeat the Twins, 4-3. With two out, Amos Otis walked and scored the Royals' first run on a double by John Mayberry. George Brett then drew a pass and Tony Solaita followed with a homer to give the Royals their winning edge.

Red Sox 5, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Red Sox rewarded the relief pitching of Jim Willoughby by rallying for a run in the eighth and four in the ninth to defeat the Brewers, 5-2. Willoughby, who relieved Jim Burton after the Brewers took a 2-0 lead, yielded only two hits in the last 5 2/3 innings. The Red Sox picked up their run in the eighth on a double by Rick Burleson and single by Denny Doyle. Then in the ninth, the Red Sox broke away with a double by Cecil Cooper, singles by Rico Petrocelli and Burleson, a pass to Dwight Evans and singles by Doug Griffin and Jim Rice.

Rangers 5, A's 2 at Texas (night game):
Gaylord Perry scattered seven hits, did not issue a pass and pitched the Rangers to a 5-2 victory over the Athletics, who avoided a shutout when Joe Rudi homered with a man on base in the ninth inning. The Rangers clinched the verdict with three runs in the second on a double by Jim Spencer and singles by Toby Harrah, Tom Grieve and Dave Moates, together with an error.

Braves 5, Dodgers 4 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Braves rallied for two runs off Andy Messersmith in the ninth inning and defeated the Dodgers, 5-4. Dusty Baker led off by drawing a pass and Ed Goodson singled. After a sacrifice by Larvell Blanks, Rowland Office singled to score Baker. Messersmith then retired Biff Pocoroba, but Dave May batted for Tom House and singled to drive in Goodson. The Braves' earlier scoring in the game included homers by Ralph Garr and Baker, while the Dodgers had a two-run smash by Willie Crawford.

Mets 9, Expos 6 at New York (night game):
Taking advantage of two errors, the Mets scored seven unearned runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Expos, 9-6, to give Roy McMillan a winning debut as manager replacing Yogi Berra. The game was stopped by rain with none out in the ninth while the Expos were in the midst of a rally. Del Unser, Felix Millan and Ed Kranepool hit doubles during the Mets' big inning and two runs were forced in on passes with the bases loaded.

Padres 6, Astros 1 at San Diego (night game):
Continuing his sensational comeback, Randy Jones yielded only two hits and pitched the Padres to a 6-1 victory over the Astros. The Padres provided a winning sendoff for their southpaw by scoring four runs in the first inning. Ted Kubiak plated a pair with a single. Bob Watson tripled in the second and counted the Astros' run on an infield out by Cliff Johnson. Hector Torres got that run back for the Padres with a homer in the third. The victory was the 15th of the season for Jones, who lost 22 games last year.

Reds 12, Giants 5 at San Francisco (day game):
The Reds amassed 20 hits, including nine for extra bases, and overpowered the Giants, 12-5. Every Cincy starting player collected at least one hit and drove in at least one run. Tony Perez had the lone homer in the attack, but Cesar Geronimo rapped two triples and Darrel Chaney drove in three runs with a pair of doubles. Jack Billingham was hit on the left leg by a line drive off the bat of Gary Matthews in the seventh inning and had to leave the game. Clay Carroll finished.

Cardinals 4, Pirates 2 at St. Louis (night game):
Buddy Bradford, stepping into the Cardinals' outfield when Bake McBride became ill after the game started, smashed a homer and single to help beat the Pirates, 4-2. Bradford accounted for the Cards' first run with his round-tripper in the third inning. The Cardinals added their other tallies in the fifth on a triple by Ken Reitz and singles by Mike Tyson, John Denny, Bradford and Ted Simmons. The Pirates loaded the bases in the eighth and scored their two runs on a wild pitch and infield out before Al Hrabosky clamped down to pick up his 16th save of the season.
