Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 6, Orioles 4 at Boston (day game):
A previous winner of eight straight decisions, Wayne Garland was kayoed in the sixth inning and suffered his first defeat of the season when the Red Sox beat the Orioles, 6-4. The Red Sox were trailing, 4-3, going into the stanza, but Fred Lynn tripled and Carl Yastrzemski doubled to tie the score and Jim Rice smashed a homer for the winning blow.

Angels 2, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
Singles by Bruce Bochte and Mario Guerrero around a sacrifice by Dave Collins produced a run in the 10th inning and enabled the Angels to defeat the White Sox, 2-1. Manager Dick Williams of the Angels, who had Gary Ross warming up to start, inadvertently wrote the name of Nolan Ryan on the lineup card. Under the rules, Ryan had to take the mound. After warming up hurriedly, Ryan retired Chet Lemon, the White Sox leadoff batter, on his second pitch and then left the game in favor of Ross.

Royals 4, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
The A. L.'s leading batter, George Brett rapped a triple and two singles in four trips to lead the Royals to a 4-2 victory over the Twins. Brett drove in one run and scored another. This was the 16th time this season that the star third baseman had collected three or more hits in a game.

Rangers 3, A's 2 at Texas (night game):
Gaylord Perry pitched seven scoreless innings before leaving the game because of an aggravated groin muscle pull and received credit for the 225th victory of his career when the Rangers defeated the Athletics, 3-2. Steve Foucault, who relieved Perry, allowed the A's runs. The Rangers scored twice in the fifth on a single by Lenny Randle, a stolen base, singles by Jim Sundberg and Gene Clines and a wild pitch by Mike Torrez. What proved to be the deciding run followed in the seventh on a triple by Dave Moates and single by Sundberg.

Braves 8, Dodgers 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
Earl Williams and Willie Montanez each homered with two men on base to propel the Braves to an 8-3 victory over the Dodgers. Burt Hooton, who started for the Dodgers, allowed only one hit unti lthe fifth inning when Ken Henderson walked, Darrel Chaney singled and Williams whacked his homer. Then in the sixth, Rod Gilbreath doubled, Jim Wynn singled and Montanez homered.

Pirates 7, Cubs 5 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates, after taking a 2-1 lead, erupted for four runs in the sixth inning and outlasted the Cubs, 7-5, for their 12th victory in the last 16 games. The defeat was the Cubs' sixth in succession. In the sixth, Al Oliver singled, Dave Parker walked and Richie Zisk drove them both home with a triple. Ed Kirkpatrick followed with a double and then crossed the plate himself on a single by Manny Sanguillen.

Padres 3, Reds 1 at San Diego (night game):
Bringing his phenomenal record to 14-3, Randy Jones pitched the Padres to a 3-1 victory over the Reds on a six-hitter. The Reds counted their run in the third inning on singles by Cesar Geronimo and Ken Griffey around a pass to Pete Rose, but the Padres came right back with a pair in the fourth. Dave Winfield singled, Doug Rader doubled and Fred Kendall hit a sacrifice fly for the first run and the go-ahead tally followed on a double by Enzo Hernandez. Singles by Tito Fuentes and Willie Davis, plus a sacrifice fly by Rader, added the other run in the fifth.

Giants 10, Astros 2 at San Francisco (day game):
The Giants had 16 hits and crushed the Astros, 10-2. Gary Thomasson drove in three runs with a single and double, while Gary Matthews accounted for two with a triple.
