Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 0 at Boston (night game):
The rampaging Red Sox rode to their eighth straight victory, shutting out the Blue Jays, 4-0, behind the pitching of Dennis Eckersley. A leadoff homer by Rick Burleson in the first inning got the Red Sox rolling. Dwight Evans added a solo round-tripper in the fourth, his sixth circuit clout in seven games. A sacrifice fly by Burleson and single by Jerry Remy produced the final two tallies in the sixth. The Red Sox lifted their Fenway Park record to 22-3.

White Sox 6, Angels 2 at Chicago (night game):
Routing Frank Tanana in less than five innings, the White Sox pounded out a 6-2 victory over the Angels. A double by Wayne Nordhagen and single by Jorge Orta gave the White Sox their initial run in the second. Chet Lemon and Lamar Johnson delivered back-to-back home runs in the third. An RBI single by Thad Bosley produced a marker in the fourth frame and an RBI single by Bill Nahorodny another in the fifth. It was the fourth straight win for the White Sox and fourth straight loss for the Angels.

Indians 5, Yankees 1 at Cleveland (night game):
Snapping his personal three-game losing streak, Rick Wise pitched a four-hitter to lead the Indians to a 5-1 triumph over the Yankees. Dick Tidrow, who started for the Yanks, was chased in the sixth inning. Tom Veryzer led off with a single, took second on a sacrifice and scored on a two-out single by Buddy Bell. Bell reached second on his hit when center fielder Mickey Rivers threw wildly to the plate and scored on a single by Wayne Cage. In the eighth inning, Andre Thornton hit a two-run pinch-single and Rick Manning an RBI single to provide insurance.

Tigers 5, Orioles 2 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers ended their seven-game losing skein with a 5-2 victory over the Orioles. A sacrifice fly by Tim Corcoran and infield grounder by Alan Trammell drove in two runs in the second inning and singles by Corcoran, Phil Mankowski and Trammell were good for another tally in the fourth frame. Aurelio Rodriguez put the game on ice with a two-run pinch-homer in the sixth.

Brewers 2, A's 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
A seventh-inning single by Don Money drove in Charlie Moore to break a 1-1 tie and lift the Brewers to a 2-1 decision over the A's. Moore reached first on a single and was sacrificed to second by Jim Gantner. Mike Caldwell pitched his fifth complete game of the season for the Brewers. The A's run came on a double by Gary Alexander and single by Miguel Dilone in the third inning. Robin Yount drove in the Brewers' tying run with a groundout in the fourth.

Twins 2, Rangers 0 at Texas (night game):
Geoff Zahn and Mike Marshall combined to outduel Fergie Jenkins and give the Twins a 2-0 victory over the Rangers. The Twins' first run came in the fifth inning on singles by Hosken Powell and Glenn Adams and a double-play ball from Rich Chiles. In the eighth, Chiles stroked a leadoff single, advanced on a sacrifice bunt and tallied on a single by Mike Cubbage. Zahn had runners on second and third in the first inning but did not permit a runner past second the rest of the night. Marshall took over in the ninth and preserved the shutout. Jenkins recorded six strikeouts for a career total of 2,488 and 13th place on the all-time list, ahead of Don Drysdale.

Braves 4, Reds 3 at Atlanta (night game):
A series of pitching changes by Reds' manager Sparky Anderson backfired and enabled the Braves to gain a 4-3 victory in 10 innings. The Reds led, 3-2, going into the bottom of the ninth. With one out, pinch-hitter Rowland Office singled off reliever Pedro Borbon. After Jerry Royster flied out, Anderson replaced Borbon with Dave Tomlin. Pinch-hitter Cito Gaston delivered a single to put runners on first and second. Anderson then yanked Tomlin and replaced him with Doug Bair. Biff Pocoroba rapped Bair's first pitch for a single that tied the game. In the 10th, Gary Matthews smacked Bair's first delivery of the inning for a home run.

Giants 1, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Scoring a run in the seventh inning without benefit of a hit, the Giants downed the Astros, 1-0, as Bob Knepper pitched his second shutout of the season and sixth complete game in 11 starts. Larry Herndon led off the seventh by striking out but reached first when the pitch went wild. Vic Harris laid down a sacrifice bunt and both runners were safe when J.R. Richard threw late to second. After Mike Sadek flied out, the runners advanced on another wild pitch. Knepper then drove a long fly to right to produce the game's only run. The Giants' Jack Clark was stopped on his 19-game hitting streak.

Dodgers 10, Padres 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Collecting 13 hits off four pitchers, the Dodgers trampled the Padres, 10-2. Eric Rasmussen, making his first start for the Padres after being acquired from the Cardinals, lasted only 1 2/3 innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits. Steve Garvey blasted a two-run homer in the first and Lee Lacy hit a leadoff homer in the second. Vic Davalillo drove in three runs with a pair of singles and an infield out.

Expos 7, Cubs 4 at Montreal (night game):
Homers by Ellis Valentine, Andre Dawson and Warren Cromartie sparked the Expos to a 7-4 decision over the Cubs. Valentine snapped the scoreless tie with a leadoff home run in the fourth inning. Cromartie followed with a single and scored on a homer by Dawson. The Expos added four more in the eighth. Gary Carter singled and came home on a double by Del Unser. A double by Valentine plated Unser and Cromartie followed with a blast over the right field fence.

Cardinals 8, Mets 2 at New York (night game):
Silvio Martinez, who hurled a no-hitter in the minors in his last start, allowed only one hit in his N.L. debut as the Cardinals romped over the Mets, 8-2. The rookie righthander held the Mets hitless until Steve Henderson tagged the first pitch of the seventh inning for a home run. The Mets' other run came in the ninth on a walk, infield out and a pair of wild pitches.

Phillies 6, Pirates 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
A three-run homer by Greg Luzinski triggered the Phillies to a 6-1 triumph over the Pirates. The big left fielder, mired in a 4-for-41 slump that had seen his average dip to .241, drove the ball into the left field bullpen in the first inning after Bake McBride was hit by a pitch and Mike Schmidt singled. RBI singles by Richie Hebner and Garry Maddox produced two more tallies in the third frame and the Phils added another in the fifth on an error by Phil Garner.
