Bill Singer was the winner of the opener, making his first start for the Twins since being obtained from the Rangers in the Blyleven deal. In the second game, Ford added to his RBI total with a pair of two-run singles, while Larry Hisle a smashed a homer with two men on base.

Red Sox 4, Angels 1 at Boston (day game):

[DH] White Sox 3, Indians 2 (day game) / White Sox 5, Indians 0 at Chicago (day game):
Ken Brett and Jesse Jefferson combined on a three-hitter and pitched the White Sox to a 5-0 victory over the Indians to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. The White Sox won the first game, 3-2, scoring what proved to be their winning run when Bucky Dent broke an 0-for-32 slump with a triple in the fourth inning and crossed the plate on a single by Jim Essian. Brett pitched seven innings of the nightcap and gained his third straight victory since coming to the White Sox in a deal with the Yankees.

Brewers 4, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
The Brewers, who had previously lost three overtime games this season, finally won one by defeating the Royals in 14 innings, 4-3. Don Money walked, took second on an infield out by Jimmy Rosario and scored the winning run on a single by Sixto Lezcano.

[DH] A's 3, Yankees 2 (day game) / Yankees 5, A's 2 at New York (night game):
A homer by Oscar Gamble with two men on base in the ninth climaxed a rally by the Yankees and brought a 5-2 victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader after the A's had won the opener, 3-2. The lidlifter was settled in the second inning when the A's scored all their runs on two walks, a single by Claudell Washington, a wild pitch and single by Phil Garner. The Yankees, trailing in the second game, 2-1, tied the score in the ninth on a one-out triple by Thurman Munson and single by Chris Chambliss.

Braves 14, Expos 8 at Montreal (day game):
Batting safely in his 12th straight game, Rowland Office hit a homer, double and two singles, driving in four runs, to set the pace for the Braves in a 14-8 victory over the Expos. The Braves' attack also included an inside-the-park homer by Tom Paciorek with a man on base.

Padres 6, Pirates 1 at Pittsburgh (day game):
A Jacket Day promotion brought out the largest crowd in Pittsburgh's history, 51,726, but the Pirates couldn't unwrap their bats and lost to the Padres, 6-1. Enzo Hernandez and Dave Winfield had three hits apiece for the Padres. Hernandez and Ted Kubiak each homered in two runs.

Phillies 9, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
Not content with his pitching, Jim Kaat also took a leading role at bat as the Phillies defeated the Giants, 9-3. Kaat had a double in the third inning for the only hit off John Montefusco before the Phillies erupted for five runs in the seventh, two of them scoring on a single by Kaat. The veteran added a double in the eighth for his third RBI of the game.

Reds 13, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (day game):
Bill Plummer, catching in place of injured Johnny Bench, had the greatest day at bat in his major league career to pace the Reds to a 13-2 victory over the Cardinals. Plummer hit a homer, triple and single, driving in seven runs, in the "kind of day," he said, "you dream about." Tony Perez joined in the attack with a two-run homer.
