Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 4, Angels 3 at California (day game):
With two out in the 11th inning, Bobby Darwin doubled for his third hit of the game to enable the Red Sox to defeat the Angels, 4-3. Following Darwin's two-bagger, the Angels walked Rico Petrocelli, but Rick Burleson singled off Dave Chalk's glove, enabling Darwin to score.

Yankees 6, White Sox 3 at Chicago (day game):
While the Yankees' winning streak was extended to six games with a 6-3 victory, the losing streak of the White Sox mounted to 10 in a row. The Yanks iced the game with a five-run outburst in the third inning. After singles by Fran Healy and Fred Stanley accounted for the first run, a walk to Roy White loaded the bases. Thurman Munson drove in two runs with a single and another scored when Ken Brett threw wildly after cutting off the throw to the plate. Chris Chambliss followed with a sacrifice fly for the fifth tally.

Indians 11, Royals 8 at Cleveland (night game):
Ray Fosse drove in four runs with two singles and a sacrifice bunt and Orlando Gonzalez drove in the first two runs of his major league career as the Indians piled up 15 hits and defeated the Royals, 11-8. However the Indians, after building up a 9-0 lead, almost blew the verdict when the Royals exploded for eight runs in the fourth inning. After an error and seven straight singles accounted for seven runs, Jim Bibby came in with none out, yielded a sacrifice fly and then cut off the Royals' rally.

Tigers 7, Twins 3 at Minnesota (day game):
Two rookies -- Jason Thompson and Mark Fidrych -- took leading roles as the Tigers defeated the Twins, 7-3. Thompson drove in three runs with a homer in the third inning and accounted for his fourth RBI with a single in the seventh. Fidrych picked up his sixth victory in seven decisions, although failing to go the route for the first time. John Hiller relieved in the eighth inning.

A's 7, Brewers 5 at Oakland (day game):
Robin Yount had four hits in four trips, including a homer, but that was not enough to keep the Brewers from losing to the Athletics, 7-5. Don Baylor broke a 4-4 tie with a homer in the fifth inning. The A's added a run in the seventh on a triple by Bill North and single by Bert Campaneris before icing the verdict in the eighth on two walks and an error.

Orioles 2, Rangers 0 at Texas (night game):
With Mike Cuellar pitching a three-hitter, the Orioles shut out the Rangers, 2-0, for their sixth straight victory. The loss was the fifth in a row for the Rangers. The Orioles scored their first run in the sixth inning on a double by Brooks Robinson and single by Dave Duncan. Singles by Andres Mora, Mark Belanger, Duncan and Ken Singleton added the other tally in the seventh.

Braves 5, Cubs 0 at Atlanta (night game):
Dick Ruthven pitched a four-hit shutout and Darrel Chaney batted in three runs as the Braves defeated the Cubs, 5-0, in the first Sunday night game ever played in Atlanta Stadium. The contest drew 11,647. Chaney accounted for his RBIs with a pair of doubles. Rowland Office also had a double for the Braves, hitting safely in his 25th straight game.

Expos 5, Dodgers 4 at Montreal (day game):
For the second straight game, Pete Mackanin provided the winning hit for the Expos, smashing a homer with two men on to beat the Dodgers, 5-4. The Expos counted all their runs in the sixth inning, scoring twice on singles by Jim Lyttle, Pat Scanlon and Mike Jorgensen and a sacrifice fly by Tim Foli before Barry Foote singled and Mackanin connected for his homer. In the previous night's game, Mackanin batted in a run with a single in the ninth inning to beat the Dodgers, 2-1.

Giants 9, Mets 2 at New York (day game):
Helping himself with the bat, Ed Halicki pitched a five-hitter for seven innings before surrendering the mound to Randy Moffitt and received credit for the Giants' 9-2 victory over the Mets. The Giants scored five times in the first inning, capping their attack with a two-run single by Halicki.

Phillies 6, Reds 1 at Philadelphia (day game):
A tremendous job of relief pitching by Ron Reed enabled the Phillies to defeat the Reds, 6-1. With the Phillies leading, 4-1, the Reds loaded the bases on Jim Kaat with none out in the sixth inning, but Reed struck out both Tony Perez and Johnny Bench and got Ken Griffey on a fly to quell the threat. Don Gullett, who was stopped on his personal four-game winning streak, started for the Reds but lasted only three innings. The Phillies, after picking up one run in the first, tacked on three in the second.

Astros 9, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Five runs in the eighth inning brought the Astros a 9-4 victory over the Pirates in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was postponed because of rain. Pinch-hitter Wilbur Howard singled with two out to drive in the first run of the Astros' rally. After Greg Gross walked, Rob Andrews delivered a two-run single. Then two more scored on an error by Richie Hebner and walk to Jose Cruz.

Padres 5, Cardinals 4 at St. Louis (day game):
Johnny Grubb, making only his second start in the Padres' outfield after being sidelined by an injury for nearly one month, knocked in three runs, capping his big day with a double in the ninth inning that defeated the Cardinals, 5-4. The Padres had a homer by Willie McCovey and two-run single by Grubb, while the Cardinals countered with a homer by Hector Cruz and two-run single by Lou Brock. Brock's hit tied the score at 4-4 in the eighth, but pinch-hitter Gene Locklear singled for the Padres in the ninth and scored the winning run on Grubb's double.
