Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 7, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
A five-hit, four-run fourth inning boosted the Indians to a 7-3 triumph over the Royals as Frank Duffy, Duane Kuiper and Buddy Bell drove in all runs with singles. George Hendrick had homered with the bases empty in the first and singled home another marker in the third. Oscar Gamble closed out the Cleveland scoring in the fifth with a solo homer. Kansas City scored single runs in the sixth on Amos Otis' RBI single, in the seventh when Fran Healy tripled home Al Cowens and in the ninth on a double by George Brett and single by Cowens.

A's 5, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Taking advantage of wildness by Pete Broberg, the Athletics increased their lead in the A. L. West to 6½ games with a 5-2 victory over the Brewers. Jim Holt singled home two decisive runs in the fourth after Broberg had walked the bases full. The winners' final run in the seventh was the result of a walk to Bill North, a sacrifice and two successive wild pitches by Broberg. North singled home Jim Holt in the third for the A's after Milwaukee had taken the lead in the second on Pedro Garcia's RBI single and a sacrifice fly by Bill Sharp. Tommy Harper singled home the A's other run in the sixth. Ken Holtzman's route-going victory was his eighth in nine career decisions against the Brewers.

White Sox 2, Yankees 1 at New York (night game):
Jim Kaat claimed his 18th victory when Jerry Hairston's two-out RBI single broke a tie in the top of the ninth to give the White Sox a 2-1 decision over the Yankees. A single by Deron Johnson and Bill Melton's infield hit set the stage for Hairston's decisive hit. New York, losing a fifth straight game, scored their only run in the second when Chris Chambliss hit into a bases-loaded forceout. The Sox tied the score in the third on singles by Carlos May and Brian Downing, an error and Pat Kelly's sacrifice fly.

Orioles 4, Rangers 2 at Texas (night game):
Brooks Robinson, who had singled home the tying run in the top of the seventh, doubled in the 14th to chase across the deciding tally, giving the Orioles a 4-2 nod over the Rangers. Robinson scored an insurance run on Elrod Hendricks' follow-up single. Jim Palmer, seeking his 20th victory with the O's, left in the 12th with the score tied. He gave up the game's first run in the fourth when Cesar Tovar singled, stole second, took third on Dave Duncan's throwing error and scored when Jeff Burroughs singled. Baltimore tied it in the fifth on Robinson's double and a single by Bobby Grich. Singles by Jim Sundberg and Tovar, a sacrifice by Dave Moates and an infield out gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead in the sixth.

Cubs 7, Dodgers 0 at Chicago (day game):
Brothers Rick and Paul Reuschel combined on a six-hit shutout as the Cubs defeated the Dodgers, 7-0. A walk, singles by Rick Monday and Bill Madlock, an error and infield out gave the Cubs a 2-0 lead in the first. Monday whacked a two-run homer in the second after Manny Trillo had doubled and then scored on Don Kessinger's single. Singles by Kessinger and Madlock, who raised his league-leading average to .363 with two hits, plus a double by Jose Cardenal, produced the final two tallies in the seventh. The Dodgers didn't advance a runner past second. Davey Lopes stole second for his 34th consecutive successful theft in the sixth, but was stranded there.
