Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 2, White Sox 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Backed by four double plays, Mike Cuellar pitched the Orioles to a 2-1 victory over the White Sox. Cuellar had a shutout in his grasp until two out in the ninth inning when Pat Kelly tripled and Jorge Orta singled for his third hit of the game. The Orioles scored their first run off Wilbur Wood in the second on singles by Bobby Grich, Paul Blair and Elrod Hendricks. The deciding marker followed in the fifth on a pass to Ken Singleton, sacrifice by Tony Muser and single by Don Baylor.

Yankees 3, A's 2 at New York (night game):
Bobby Bonds belted a double and homer to account for two of the Yankees' three hits and drove in all of their runs in a 3-2 victory over the Athletics. The A's also were limited to three hits, but took a 2-0 lead when Billy Williams homered with a man on base in the fourth. Chris Chambliss walked and scored on Bonds' double in the sixth. Then in the eighth, after Ed Brinkman was hit by a pitch, Bonds smashed his homer. Tippy Martinez saved the game for Pat Dobson, relieving after two A's reached base on errors in the ninth. Reggie Jackson hit into a double play and, after a walk to Williams, Angel Mangual struck out.

Reds 4, Cardinals 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
After a blister forced Bob Forsch to leave the mound, Darrel Chaney greeted the arrival of Mike Garman with a homer in the fifth inning and the Reds then added three more runs off Al Hrabosky in the seventh to defeat the Cardinals, 4-0. Gullett, who pitched the shutout, beat the Redbirds for the fourth straight time this season and 13th time in 16 career decisions.

Mets 4, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Mets took advantage of an error by Bill Russell to score two runs in the fifth inning and Del Unser homered for two more in the seventh to defeat the Dodgers, 4-1. John Stearns, who singled and took second on a sacrifice, scored when Russell threw wildly on a grounder by Unser. Singles by Felix Millan and Mike Vail added second run. Stearns was on base with a single when Unser homered. A single by Lee Lacy, pass to Jim Wynn and double by Steve Garvey accounted for the Dodgers' lone run off Jerry Koosman in the first inning.

Expos 10, Padres 8 at San Diego (day game):
The Padres staked Randy Jones to a 7-2 lead, but their ace lefthander was knocked out in the sixth inning and lost to the Expos, 10-8. Jones went into the game with a 17-7 record and 2.09 earned run average, but yielded nine runs, seven earned, before being removed. Willie McCovey homered for the Padres, who collected 18 hits but left 13 men on base, including at least one in every inning. The Expos cut their deficit to 7-6 with four runs in the fifth on five hits. Then in the sixth, after Bob Bailey lofted a sacrifice fly to tie the score, Tim Foli and Gary Carter hit run-scoring singles to put the Expos ahead.

Phillies 8, Giants 5 at San Francisco (day game):
The stellar relief work of Tom Hilgendorf, who did not a yield run in 7 1/3 innings, enabled the Phillies to come from behind to defeat the Giants, 8-5. Hilgendorf took over after the Giants had rapped Jim Lonborg for three runs in the first inning to assume a 3-1 lead. Gary Thomasson homered for the Giants. The Phillies, who had a triple and six doubles among their 17 hits, picked up a run on three singles in the third and took a 5-3 lead in the sixth with an attack that included a triple by Garry Maddox and double by Johnny Oates. Tommy Hutton and Hilgendorf hit doubles in the seventh when the Phillies scored three more runs for their winning margin. Tug McGraw relieved Hilgendorf in the ninth and was tagged for two runs on a bases-loaded single by Bobby Murcer before retiring the side.
