Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 3, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Scoring two runs in the first inning, the Red Sox posted a 3-1 victory to boost their East Division lead to eight games over the Orioles. A single by Cecil Cooper, double by Carl Yastrzemski and pass to Fred Lynn loaded the bases with one out in the first. Jim Rice grounded to Brooks Robinson, who stepped on third to force Yastrzemski as Cooper scored. Robinson then threw wildly to first, trying to complete the double play. Lee May retrieved the ball and followed with a wild throw to the plate, allowing Lynn to count an unearned run. The Orioles' run in the fifth also was unearned on an error by Rick Burleson. The Red Sox wrapped up their victory in the ninth with a triple by Carlton Fisk and a wild pitch.

Angels 6, Rangers 4 at California (night game):
Leroy Stanton drove in five runs with a homer and double to provide the Angels with a 6-4 victory over the Rangers. The Angels were trailing, 3-0, before they began their comeback in the seventh inning when Jerry Remy singled and Stanton homered. In the next stanza, after the Angels loaded the bases, Mickey Rivers walked with two out to force in one run and Stanton followed with his double to clear the sacks. Jeff Burroughs and Joe Lovitto hit homers for the Rangers.

Royals 7, White Sox 0 at Chicago (day game):
The Royals collected 15 walks, three short of the major league record, and strolled to a 7-0 victory over the White Sox behind the pitching of Paul Splittorff. Ken Kravec, making his major league debut with the White Sox, passed seven in 2 1/3 innings. John Mayberry singled in the third inning and both Al Cowens and Harmon Killebrew walked before Dan Osborn relieved Kravec. Jim Wohiford singled to drive in two runs. After a pass to Buck Martinez, Frank White singled for another pair.

Yankees 8, Tigers 1 at Detroit (night game):
Thurman Munson, who could become the first Yankee batter to drive in 100 runs since Mickey Mantle in 1964, accounted for three RBIs, raising his season's total to 89, in an 8-1 victory over the Tigers. Munson plated a run with a single in the third inning and added two more with another single in the fifth.

Indians 10, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (night game):
Playing in his second game since being recalled from the minors, Joe Lis smashed a homer with two men on base and drove in another run with a sacrifice fly to lead the Indians to a 10-5 victory over the Brewers. Rico Carty was safe on an error and George Hendrick walked in the second inning before Lis hit his homer off Lafayette Currence, who was making his first major league start.

Braves 2, Padres 1 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves rallied for two runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Padres, 2-1, but their attendance was even worse than at the previous night's game. Only 1,062 showed up for a new all-time Atlanta low. Willie McCovey homered for the Padres' run in the second inning.

Dodgers 3, Reds 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
A three-run outburst in the first inning that included a homer by Willie Crawford with a man on base enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Reds, 3-2. Davey Lopes led off with a single and took third on a wild pickoff throw by Clay Kirby, who made his first start for the Reds since August 5. After Lee Lacy singled to drive in Lopes, Crawford rapped his round tripper. Doug Rau went the route for the Dodgers and held the Reds to four hits. George Foster homered in the second and the Reds' other run counted in the sixth on singles by Pete Rose, Merv Rettenmund and Joe Morgan.

Giants 2, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
With last-out help from Randy Moffitt, John Montefusco gained his third straight victory when the Giants edged the Astros, 2-1. The Giants got to Larry Dierker for their initial run in the seventh inning. Gary Matthews led off with a single, advanced to third on a single by Willie Montanez and forceout by Dave Rader and scored on a sacrifice fly by Steve Ontiveros. Dierker was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the Astros' half of the seventh and the Giants added the deciding run off Jim Crawford in the eighth on a triple by Derrel Thomas and single by Bobby Murcer. The Astros counted in the ninth on singles by Bob Watson and Ken Boswell around a walk to Jose Cruz before Moffitt came in to save the game.
