Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 6, Orioles 0 at California (night game):
The Angels erupted for consecutive homers by Bobby Bonds, Don Baylor and Ron Jackson in the second inning and breezed to a 6-0 victory over the Orioles behind the six-hit pitching of Frank Tanana. Ross Grimsley was the victim of the Angels' barrage, serving up the homers on just seven pitches. Rudi added a round-tripper in the eighth inning.

Indians 4, Brewers 3 at Cleveland (night game):
After four losses, Wayne Garland was able to post his first victory of the season when the Indians took advantage of three unearned runs and beat the Brewers, 4-3. The Indians scored three times on only one hit in the second inning, two of the tallies being tainted. With the score tied, 3-3, Frank Duffy singled in the eighth, stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by Charlie Moore and scored on a sacrifice fly by Paul Dade.

Tigers 8, Twins 3 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers smashed four homers among their 12 hits and beat the Twins, 8-3, to end Geoff Zahn's five-game winning streak. After the Tigers built up a 4-2 lead, Ben Oglivie started the homer barrage with a drive in the third inning. Phil Mankowski and Mark Wagner then hit back-to-back homers to kayo Zahn in the fourth. Milt May added a round-tripper in the eighth.

A's 3, Red Sox 1 at Oakland (day game):
Homers by Mitchell Page, Wayne Gross and Earl Williams powered the Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Red Sox. Page opened the scoring with a drive in the first inning. Gross and Williams hit their homers in succession in the fourth.

Mariners 5, Yankees 2 at Seattle (night game):
The Mariners broke their seven-game losing streak by defeating the Yankees, 5-2. Reggie Jackson homered with a man on base in the first inning to account for the Yankees' runs. The Mariners picked up a tally in their half and went ahead with a pair in the sixth on three hits and two errors. Jose Baez then iced the decision with a two-run double in the seventh.

White Sox 4, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
After helping the White Sox tie the score with a homer in the fourth inning, Chet Lemon singled with the bases loaded in the 10th, driving in Richie Zisk, to beat the Rangers, 4-3. Zisk singled and took third on a single by Jim Spencer, who moved to second on the throw. After an intentional pass to Lamar Johnson, Lemon singled.

Astros 8, Cubs 2 at Houston (night game):
J.R. Richard pitched a five-hitter and gained his first victory since April 12 when the Astros defeated the Cubs, 8-2. The Cubs were stopped on their six-game winning streak. After Jose Cruz batted in the Astros' first two runs with a double in the first inning, Cesar Cedeno led off with a homer in the third to spark a five-run outburst. Richard accounted for one run with a single.

Dodgers 5, Expos 1 at Montreal (night game):
Batting twice, Dusty Baker hit two singles in the seventh inning when the Dodgers scored five runs to defeat the Expos, 5-1. Baker and Steve Yeager singled and Tommy John was safe on an error, loading the bases to start the stanza. Lee Lacy struck out, but Bill Russell rapped a two-run single. Reggie Smith walked to reload the sacks. After Ron Cey struck out, Steve Garvey and Manny Mota drew passes, each forcing in a run, before Baker came up for a second time and singled to drive in the final tally.

[DH] Padres 6, Mets 3 (night game) / Padres 4, Mets 3 at New York (night game):
Dave Winfield batted in three runs with a homer and single in the first game and drove in what proved to be the winning run with a single in the second game as the Padres defeated the Mets in a twi-night doubleheader, 6-3 and 4-3. Winfield whacked his homer off Tom Seaver with a man on base in the first inning of the opener. Seaver surrendered two more runs in the second and then left the mound after three innings with an apparent upset stomach. In the nightcap, Bill Almon batted in two runs for the Padres with a single in the third inning and their other pair followed in the fifth on a single by Gene Richards, double by George Hendrick and single by Winfield.

Giants 4, Phillies 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Bill Madlock homered with a man on base in the fourth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie, to provide the Giants' deciding blow in a 4-2 victory over the Phillies. Richie Hebner hit his first homer for the Phillies in their half of the fourth.

Pirates 2, Braves 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Owner Ted Turner took over as acting manager of the Braves but was unsuccessful in his first attempt to break the club's losing streak. The Pirates pinned the Braves with their 17th straight setback, 2-1. Dave Parker, hitting safely in his 22nd game in a row, smashed a homer in the third inning to account for the Pirates' winning run.

Reds 5, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
Mike Caldwell, who put down a bases-loaded threat in the seventh inning, went on to gain his first save of the season when the Reds defeated the Cardinals, 5-1. Caldwell replaced Jack Billingham with the sacks jammed and one out and induced pinch-hitter Mike Anderson to ground into a double play. The Reds stole five bases, including three by Dave Concepcion.
