Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 1, Yankees 0 at California (day game):
The Angels, who got shutout pitching from Bill Singer and Mickey Scott, snapped the scoreless duel with a run in the ninth inning to edge the Yankees, 1-0. Singer pitched the first eight innings and yielded four hits. Scott took over in the ninth, retired the side in order and gained the victory when the Angels broke through for their run off Rudy May, who also gave up only four hits. Dave Collins drew a walk to start the stanza and was forced by Tommy Harper. Bobby Valentine singled, Harper stopping at second. Leroy Stanton then doubled to drive in Harper with the lone run.

White Sox 3, Orioles 2 at Chicago (day game):
Held scoreless on four hits through the first eight innings, the White Sox rallied for three runs in the ninth and defeated the Orioles, 3-2. Mike Torrez, pitching for the Orioles, issued his seventh pass of the game to Bucky Dent to open the ninth before being yanked. Grant Jackson, in relief, retired Bill Stein, but Brian Downing smashed a two-run homer to tie the score. After throwing two balls to Pat Kelly, Jackson yielded the mound to Ross Grimsley, who completed walking Kelly. Jorge Orta then hit a double, driving in Kelly with the winning run.

Royals 5, Indians 1 at Cleveland (day game):
John Mayberry extended his batting streak to 14 games, hitting a three-run homer for the Royals' big blow in a 5-1 victory over the Indians. Mayberry's circuit clout, coming after singles by Fred Patek and Al Cowens in the third inning, was his 26th of the season, equaling his previous career high with the Royals in 1973. Mayberry also accounted for a fourth RBI with an infield out that drove a run home in the ninth inning.

Twins 4, Tigers 0 at Detroit (day game):
The slump-shackled Tigers collected only four hits off Bert Blyleven and lost to the Twins, 4-0, for their 15th straight defeat. The Twins were held scoreless by Ray Bare until they broke through for two runs in the seventh inning on singles by Steve Braun and Eric Soderholm, a double by Jerry Terrell and sacrifice fly by Rod Carew. Terrell singled in the ninth and Phil Roof homered for the last two tallies.

Brewers 7, Rangers 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
Led by George Scott, who collected four hits and drove in three runs, the Brewers snapped their six-game losing streak by defeating the Rangers, 7-4. Scott hit a wasted single in the first inning but batted in runs with other singles in the third and fourth before capping his day with a homer in the sixth. Sixto Lezcano accounted for two RBIs with a double in the third inning.

Red Sox 5, A's 3 at Oakland (day game):
Two-run homers by Cecil Cooper and Jim Rice powered the Red Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Athletics. Cooper's drive followed a single by Bernie Carbo in the first inning. Joe Rudi singled and Gene Tenace homered as the A's tallied a pair in the fourth, but in the Red Sox half Cooper drew a walk and was on base when Rice hit for the circuit to decide the outcome of the game.

Cubs 9, Braves 1 at Atlanta (day game):
Rick Monday hit a single and two doubles and also walked in the Cubs' support of Bill Bonham, who pitched a five hitter and beat the Braves, 9-1. Monday's first double set up the Cubs' initial run in the third inning. After drawing his walk and scoring in the fifth, Monday drove in three runs with his second double of the game in the eighth. Mike Lum hit a pinch-homer in the Braves' half of the eighth for their lone run.

Reds 11, Expos 3 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Reds collected 18 hits and enjoyed a pair of four-run innings while romping over the Expos, 11-3. In the fifth, Pete Rose walked, stopped at third on a double by Ken Griffey and beat the throw home on a grounder by Joe Morgan. Larry Parrish booted a grounder by Johnny Bench, allowing Griffey to cross the plate. Tony Perez and Cesar Geronimo then hit singles for two more runs. The Reds' other four-run burst came in the eighth on a triple by Morgan, single by Bench, double by Perez and homer by George Foster.

Astros 5, Pirates 3 at Houston (day game):
A four-run outburst in the first inning started the Astros off to a 5-3 victory over the Pirates, who went down to their fifth straight defeat. With one away, Greg Gross and Cesar Cedeno singled. After both advanced following a flyout by Cliff Johnson, the Pirates passed Doug Rader intentionally to load the bases in a move that backfired. Tommy Helms also walked to force in the Astros' first run. Skip Jutze singled for two more and the fourth run crossed the plate when Manny Sanguillen made a wild throw to third after handling the ball from the outfield. J.R. Richard, who started for the Astros, allowed only one hit but walked 10 in six innings before surrendering the mound to Mike Cosgrove.

Dodgers 2, Mets 1 at New York (day game):
A homer by John Hale and run-scoring single by Steve Yeager in the fourth inning enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Mets, 2-1. After Hale led off the stanza with his circuit clout, Steve Garvey walked, stopped at second on a single by Ron Cey, advanced to third after the catch on a long fly by Willie Crawford and crossed the plate on Yeager's hit. Don Sutton, who gained his 16th victory of the season, limited the Mets to three hits with their run counting in the fourth on a single by Rusty Staub, pass to Wayne Garrett and single by Mike Phillips.

Giants 8, Phillies 1 at Philadelphia (day game):
Gary Matthews hit two homers and drove in four runs to lead the Giants' batting in an 8-1 victory over the Phillies. Matthews started his slugging with a solo swat in the fourth and then connected for the circuit again with two men on base in the seventh. Jim Barr, who pitched the route for the Giants, had trouble in the fifth when the Phillies loaded the bases, but escaped with only one run scoring on a sacrifice fly by Garry Maddox.

Cardinals 3, Padres 2 at St. Louis (day game):
The Cardinals, after tying the score on a homer by Ron Fairly in the seventh inning and then knotting the count again in the 10th on a homer by Ken Reitz, pushed over another run in the overtime stanza and defeated the Padres, 3-2. A passed ball by Ted Simmons let the Padres score their initial run in the seventh before Fairly rapped his round-tripper. The Padres went ahead in the 10th with a circuit clout by Tito Fuentes, but Reitz' homer tied the score in the Cardinals' half. Mike Tyson, pinch-hitter Bake McBride and Lou Brock then followed with singles to produce the winning run.
