Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 2, Brewers 0 at California (night game):
Gary Ross allowed only two hits and pitched the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Brewers in his first complete game in the major leagues since July 6, 1968. The Angels scored both their runs in the second inning on singles by Tommy Davis and Bruce Bochte, a sacrifice fly by Dan Briggs and single by Dave Chalk.

Yankees 5, White Sox 4 at Chicago (night game):
The losing streak of the White Sox was extended to seven games, their longest in five years, when the Yankees eked out a 5-4 victory over the Pale Hose. The White Sox knocked out Catfish Hunter in the eighth inning during a two-run rally, but it wasn't enough. Hunter was removed after giving up a single by Chet Lemon and walking Ralph Garr. Sparky Lyle relieved and after Jorge Orta singled to load the bases and Pat Kelly struck out, two runs scored on a wild throw by Chris Chambliss, but Lyle retired the next two batters on short flies.

Twins 4, Tigers 0 at Minnesota (night game):
The Twins received a lucky break from the weather and posted a 4-0 victory over the Tigers in a game that was stopped by rain in the bottom half of the sixth inning. Mike Cubbage batted in three runs for the Twins. In the Tigers' sixth, Aurelio Rodriguez homered with a man on base and two more runs scored with the aid of a triple by Dan Meyer, but rain stopped play while the Twins were at bat in their half, causing the score to revert to five full innings.

Red Sox 8, A's 3 at Oakland (night game):
While Dick Pole pitched his first complete game of the season in eight starts, Dwight Evans, Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk smashed homers to help the Red Sox defeat the Athletics, 8-3.

Orioles 4, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
A three-run homer by Reggie Jackson in the eighth inning shattered a 1-1 tie and carried the Orioles to a 4-1 victory over the Rangers. Wayne Garland, who was the beneficiary of the blow, won his sixth game without a defeat.

Mets 1, Dodgers 0 at New York (night game):
Deciding a pitchers' duel, Dave Kingman hit his 23rd homer of the season in the 14th inning to give the Mets a 1-0 victory over the Dodgers.

Phillies 3, Giants 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
After Mike Schmidt homered in the eighth inning to tie the score, the Phillies pushed over another run in the ninth and defeated the Giants, 3-2. Pinch-hitter Ollie Brown opened the stanza with a single and took third on a single by Garry Maddox. After a walk to Bob Boone and forceout at the plate by Bobby Tolan, Dave Cash hit a long sacrifice fly to plate the winning run.
