Today's scores and summaries:

Twins 6, Angels 3 at California (night game):
Smashing a 3-3 tie, Larry Hisle hit a homer with two men on base in the eighth inning to carry the Twins to a 6-3 victory over the Angels. Rod Carew had one hit in four trips, dropping his average to .391.

[DH] White Sox 6, Blue Jays 3 (day game) / Blue Jays 5, White Sox 3 at Chicago (night game):
Oscar Gamble's slugging carried the White Sox to a 6-3 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader before Doug Rader hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning to win the second game for the Blue Jays, 5-3. Gamble had four hits in four trips, including two homers. Bill Singer, who was just reactivated by the Blue Jays, was pounded for four runs in the first inning. Ralph Garr, hitting in his 17th straight game, led off with a double, Jorge Orta tripled and Richie Zisk singled for the first two runs. Gamble doubled, Zisk stopping at third. Bob Bailor and Otto Velez then collided in the outfield going after a fly by Jim Spencer, and both Zisk and Gamble scored. Spencer was credited with a sacrifice fly for Zisk's run and Bailor was charged with an error for dropping the ball to allow Gamble to score. Gamble's two homers came off Blue Jay reliever Chuck Hartenstein.

Red Sox 9, Indians 7 at Cleveland (night game):
After Jim Rice had hit a pair of two-run homers earlier in the game, Butch Hobson took over the slugging role and connected for the circuit with two men on base in the 10th inning to boost the Red Sox to a 9-7 victory over the Indians. Bill Campbell, pitching in relief, allowed the Indians to tie the score at 6-6 with two runs in the ninth but then gained credit for the victory on Hobson's homer. The Indians rallied against Bill Lee in their half of the 10th but fell short, scoring one run.

Royals 6, Tigers 4 at Kansas City (night game):
Frank White, who entered the game batting .243, rapped four hits and drove in two runs to lead the Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Tigers. Al Cowens homered for the Royals in the second inning, but the Tigers took a 3-1 lead before the Royals rallied for four runs in the sixth. White knocked in a run with a single and also accounted for the Royals' final tally with another single in the eighth.

Brewers 9, Yankees 8 at Milwaukee (night game):
After ripping into Catfish Hunter for three homers while taking a 6-3 lead, the Brewers added three runs off Ken Holtzman in the seventh inning and outlasted the Yankees, 9-8. Don Money homered with a man on base for the Brewers, while Sixto Lezcano and Cecil Cooper contributed solo swats. Mickey Rivers hit two homers and Dell Alston got the first of his major league career for the Yankees. In the seventh, the Brewers got their three runs off Holtzman on a walk to Robin Yount, single by Money, double by Cooper and singles by Sal Bando and Von Joshua. The Yankees almost caught up with the Brewers, scoring five runs in the eighth, two on a bases-loaded single by Lou Piniella and three on Rivers' second homer of the game.

Mariners 3, A's 1 at Oakland (night game):
Glenn Abbott limited his former Oakland teammates to four hits and pitched the Mariners to a 3-1 victory over the Athletics. Dan Meyer provided the deciding blow, hitting a homer with a man on base.

Orioles 4, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
Jim Palmer, who tired after pitching 7 1/3 innings, left the game with a 4-1 lead but the Orioles then had to stave off a rally by the Rangers in the ninth to gain a 4-3 victory. Toby Harrah, Juan Beniquez and Bump Wills singled off Dick Drago for a run with one away in the ninth. The Orioles then called on their Martinez relievers, Dennis and Tippy. Bert Campaneris, facing Dennis, forced Wills as the Rangers' second run of the inning scored. Tippy came in and retired Ken Henderson to end the game.

Braves 4, Reds 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
Buzz Capra worked 7 1/3 innings in his longest outing since 1975, but after his departure, the Braves wound up on the ropes and barely survived to gain a 4-3 victory over the Reds. The Braves were forced to use three relief pitchers, starting with Jamie Easterly in the eighth. Dave Campbell took over in the ninth and gave up a two-out homer by Mike Lum. When Champ Summers followed with a single, Rick Camp took over. The Reds proceeded to load the bases with a walk to Ken Griffey and infield hit by Pete Rose, but Dave Concepcion lined to Willie Montanez to end the game.

Astros 3, Dodgers 2 at Houston (night game):
Playing in his first major league game, Terry Puhl singled in the 13th inning, advanced on a sacrifice and scored on a double by Bob Watson to give the Astros a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers.

Pirates 6, Expos 1 at Montreal (night game):
A pairing of two pitchers who had not been in the winning column since June 21 resulted in John Candelaria gaining a victory over Steve Rogers when the Pirates defeated the Expos, 6-1. The Pirates knocked out Rogers during a five-run outburst in the seventh inning. Rennie Stennett and Phil Garner rapped scoring singles and after Ed Ott also singled, Rogers gave way to Will McEnaney. Dave Parker then doubled to drive in two runs. Another double by Bill Robinson accounted for the fifth tally. Candelaria left the mound with a slight back strain in the Expos' half of the seventh and Kent Tekulve finished.

Cubs 5, Mets 2 at New York (night game):
The blackout of electrical power that struck New York City forced the suspension of the Mets' game with the Cubs with one out in the bottom half of the sixth inning. The Cubs were leading, 2-1, getting their runs on a pass to Jerry Morales and homer by Steve Ontiveros in the second. Mike Vail homered for the Mets in the fifth. The game was completed on September 16, when Steve Swisher's two-run single in the eighth gave the Cubs a 5-2 victory.

Phillies 5, Cardinals 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Two king-sized homers by Greg Luzinski powered the Phillies to a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals. Tom Underwood, facing his former Phillies' teammates for the first time, was the victim of both smashes. Luzinski hammered a pitch into the upper deck of Veterans Stadium with a man on base in the first inning and followed with another tremendous wallop with two aboard in the third.

Giants 5, Padres 4 at San Diego (night game):
Early wildness by Tom Griffin, who walked four batters in the first inning, helped the Giants achieve a 5-4 victory over the Padres. Griffin passed Marc Hill with the bases loaded to force in the Giants' first run before Rob Andrews doubled to make it 3-0. Jack Clark added a homer in the sixth. After Griffin's departure, the Giants scored what proved to be their deciding run off Rollie Fingers in the eighth on singles by Willie McCovey and Hill and an infield out by Andrews, scoring pinch-runner Derrel Thomas.
