Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 1, Orioles 0 at Baltimore (night game):
Staked to a one-run lead in the first inning, Frank Tanana pitched the Angels to a 1-0 victory over the Orioles in a duel with Jim Palmer, who made his first start since July 12 after being sidelined by a pulled rib cage muscle. With two out in the first, Dave Collins drew a walk from Palmer, stole second and scored the game's only run on a single by Joe Lahoud.

A's 3, Tigers 0 at Detroit (night game):
Ending a personal three-game losing streak, Vida Blue scattered seven hits and pitched the Athletics to a 3-0 victory over the Tigers. The A's scored only two runs for Blue in his three losses. This time, Gene Tenace came to his help, driving in two runs, one with a double in the second inning and the other with a single in the seventh. After his single, Tenace took third on a single by Sal Bando and scored on a sacrifice fly by Phil Garner.

Royals 4, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
Two rain delays failed to cool off Marty Pattin, who stuck to his job and pitched the Royals to a 4-1 victory over the Brewers. The game was halted for two hours, 33 minutes after the second inning and for 15 minutes more in the top half of the sixth. Royals' scoring included a homer by Buck Martinez in the second inning and another by John Mayberry in the eighth.

Red Sox 4, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
The Red Sox broke a tie with an unearned run in the third inning and then got a homer by Cecil Cooper in the sixth to clinch a 4-2 victory over the Twins. Rick Burleson singled with the bases loaded to drive in the first two runs for the Red Sox in the second. The Twins came back with a matching pair in their half on a single by Dan Ford, double by Lyman Bostock, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Danny Thompson. But Thompson then committed an error with two out in the third to allow Denny Doyle to score.

Rangers 9, Indians 8 at Texas (night game):
After failing to hold a 7-2 lead, the Rangers came from behind with two runs in the 13th inning to defeat the Indians, 9-8, for their third straight victory under Frank Lucchesi. The Indians forced the game into overtime with a five-run rally in the ninth. George Hendrick drove in the first two runs with a bases-loaded single. After manager Frank Robinson walked as a pinch-hitter, another run counted on a wild pitch. Charlie Spikes then singled, driving in two runs to tie the score. The Indians went ahead in the 13th on singles by Rick Manning and Rico Carty and a wild throw by Lenny Randle. The Rangers quickly pulled even in their half when Tom Robson singled and pinch-runner Tommy Moore raced home on a double by Tom Grieve. When Spikes misplayed the ball in left field, Grieve advanced to third. The Indians then passed Toby Harrah and Jim Fregosi intentionally to load the bases, but the move failed when Mike Cubbage batted for Jim Sundberg and hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run.

Cardinals 5, Dodgers 4 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Cardinals, after building up a 5-0 lead, stood off the rallying Dodgers and gained a 5-4 victory to extend their winning streak to five games. Willie Davis and Reggie Smith singled and Ted Simmons doubled to produce what proved to be the Cards' deciding run in the seventh inning. The Dodgers came back with a tally in the eighth and closed the gap with three more runs in the ninth on a walk to John Hale and two-out homers by Willie Crawford and Lee Lacy before Mike Garman relieved Bob Forsch and struck out Davey Lopes to save the game.

Astros 2, Expos 1 at Montreal (night game):
J.R. Richard gave up five hits and walked five but worked his way out of trouble three times with two men on base to pitch the Astros to a 2-1 victory over the Expos. The Astros scored their initial run in the first inning on a single by Greg Gross and double by Bob Watson. After Gary Carter homered for the Expos in the fourth, the Astros picked up the deciding run in the next stanza on a single by Larry Milbourne, sacrifice by Richard and single by Wilbur Howard.

Mets 5, Reds 2 at New York (night game):
The Reds, who had fallen into a slump since winning 10 games in a row, lost to the Mets, 5-2, for their fifth defeat in the last seven contests. Jon Matlack held the Reds to five hits. Ed Kranepool led the Mets' attack, driving in two runs with a single in the third inning and another with a double in the fifth.

Phillies 3, Braves 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Three stolen bases and three bunts were the keys to the Phillies' 3-2 victory over the Braves. In the first inning, Dave Cash singled, stole second, took third on a sacrifice bunt by Larry Bowa and scored on an infield out by Jay Johnstone. Mike Schmidt singled in the second, moved up on a passed ball, stole third and scored on a squeeze bunt by Bob Boone. Then in the eighth with the score tied, 2-2, Greg Luzinski singled and stole second before giving way to pinch-runner Terry Harmon. After Harmon advanced to third on an infield out by Dick Allen, Schmidt laid down a bunt and beat it out for a hit as Harmon crossed the plate with the winning run.

Pirates 8, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Dock Ellis yielded only four hits and pitched the Pirates to an 8-1 victory over the Padres. Manny Sanguillen, hitting safely in his 15th straight game, smashed a homer with a man on base in the eighth inning to cap the Pirates' scoring.

Giants 10, Cubs 2 at San Francisco (day game):
John Montefusco not only pitched a six-hitter but also smashed a homer as the Giants defeated the Cubs, 10-2. The Giants settled the issue quickly, piling up five runs in the first inning. Gary Matthews and Willie Montanez hit run-scoring singles before Chris Speier capped the outburst with a three-run homer. Montefusco rapped his round-tripper in the fourth. Bill Madlock drove in both of the Cubs' runs with a double and sacrifice fly.
