Today's scores and summaries:

Rangers 5, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Jim Fregosi hit a three-run homer and Tom Grieve added a two-run shot as the Rangers bested the Orioles, 5-1. Gaylord Perry notched his fourth straight victory with an 11-strikeout, seven-hitter. The home runs upped Ross Grimsley's four-bagger yield to 23 for the season.

Tigers 8, Angels 0 at California (night game):
Ray Bare pitched a two-hitter and the Tigers collected 16 hits to defeat the Angels, 8-0, and snap their 19-game losing streak, one shy of the A. L. record. Bare had a no-hitter until Dave Chalk singled with two out in the seventh inning. Bill Freehan led the Tigers with two singles, a double and triple for three RBIs.

Red Sox 5, White Sox 0 at Chicago (day game):
Roger Moret extended his scoreless inning streak against the White Sox to 22 before being sidelined by a stiff neck in a 5-0 Red Sox victory. Jim Willoughby completed the two-hitter with two scoreless innings of relief for his eighth save. Dwight Evans homered and tripled for two Red Sox runs.

Royals 4, Yankees 3 at Kansas City (night game):
Buck Martinez drove in two runs with a double and single and John Mayberry hit his 28th home run for a club record as the Royals edged the Yankees, 4-3. The Royals scored twice in the second inning on a triple by George Brett, sacrifice fly by Tony Solaita and triples by Al Cowens and Martinez. In the fourth, Cowens singled, stole second and scored on Martinez' double. Mayberry hit a solo shot in the fifth. Nelson Briles gained the victory in relief of Steve Busby, who departed in the third after being hit on the right elbow by Fred Stanley's line drive.

Twins 9, Indians 1 at Minnesota (day game):
Jim Hughes pitched a six-hitter as the Twins coasted past the Indians, 9-1. Phil Roof had a home run, double, single and two RBIs. Dan Ford added a double, two singles and two RBIs to lead a 20-hit attack, tying the club record.

A's 2, Brewers 1 at Oakland (day game):
Bill North's one-out, bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth gave the Athletics a 2-1 win over the Brewers. Tommy Harper scored the winning run after pinch-running for Sal Bando, who walked as the leadoff batter in the ninth. Harper moved to third on a bloop double by Phil Garner and, after Bert Campaneris was intentionally walked to load the bases, scored on North's sacrifice fly. Rollie Fingers struck out four of six batters for the relief victory. The Brewers' run came on Charlie Moore's first major league homer.

Braves 8, Cardinals 7 at Atlanta (night game):
Pinch-hitter Ed Goodson's bases-loaded single in the ninth inning pushed the Braves past the Cardinals, 8-7. The winners rallied when Vic Correll, who hit a three-run homer in the first, walked off losing reliever Bob Gibson. Rowland Office singled and Dave May walked to load the bases before Goodson batted for winner Tom House. Buddy Bradford's two-run homer in a three-run fifth had given the Cards a 7-6 lead.

Reds 5, Pirates 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
Tony Perez' tie-breaking two-run homer and Cesar Geronimo's solo blast in the eighth powered the Reds past the Pirates, 5-3. Craig Reynolds' first RBI of the season on a seventh-inning double had tied the score at 2-2 for the Bucs, who suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. Rawly Eastwick gained his 13th save in the Reds' 12th victory in their last 13 games.

Cubs 3, Astros 2 at Houston (day game):
Jose Cardenal singled and homered to drive in two runs as the Cubs edged the Astros, 3-2, on Rick Reuschel's eight-hitter. Cardenal followed Rob Sperring's single and Rick Monday's sacrifice bunt with an RBI single in the first and hit a homer in the third. Singles by Andre Thornton and Manny Trillo and a sacrifice fly by Steve Swisher plated a Cub run in the second.

Expos 3, Dodgers 2 at Montreal (night game):
After singling in the tying run in the eighth inning, Jim Dwyer singled in the winning run in the 10th as the Expos nipped the Dodgers, 3-2. Losing pitcher Mike Marshall gave up a leadoff double to Barry Foote in the 10th. After Tony Scott came in to run, pinch-hitter Jim Lyttle was intentionally walked and Jim Dwyer singled. Bill Buckner hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers.

Mets 4, Giants 2 at New York (day game):
Joe Torre hit a two-run homer in the second inning and the Mets used two errors in a two-run sixth to defeat the Giants, 4-2, as Craig Swan notched his first victory of the season. The Mets' final rally started when Dave Rader dropped Dave Kingman's pop fly. After Torre walked and was forced at second on Jerry Grote's grounder, Jack Heidemann hit a grounder that Chris Speier threw into right field, allowing pinch-runner Wayne Garrett to score and sending Grote to third. Swan then hit a soft liner to second that Derrel Thomas elected to let fall. The double play attempt, however, failed as Grote scored.

Padres 5, Phillies 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
The Padres scored four runs in the ninth to defeat the Phillies, 5-1. Johnny Grubb opened the ninth with a single, and after Dick Allen made a diving catch of Tito Fuentes' bunt, Dave Winfield walked. Losing pitcher Tug McGraw struck out Willie McCovey, but Mike Ivie followed with an RBI single. Bobby Tolan added a two-run triple and scored when Larry Bowa threw away Hector Torres' grounder. Randy Jones allowed four hits, including a homer by Allen.
