Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 4, Yankees 3 at California (night game):
The Angels brought a four-hour, five-minute game to a close by scoring in the 12th inning on a pass to Lyman Bostock, sacrifice by Joe Rudi and single by Ron Jackson to defeat the Yankees, 4-3. Two Angel runners, Bobby Grich and Carney Lansford, were thrown out at the plate in the ninth. Both benches emptied when a fight broke out after Lansford bowled over Yankee catcher Mike Heath. Yankee Manager Billy Martin and Heath were ejected. Nolan Ryan, who pitched the first nine innings for the Angels, struck out eight and took over 10th place on the majors' all-time list with a total of 2,539.

Indians 4, Twins 3 at Cleveland (night game):
After reaching base with a single in the seventh inning, Tom Veryzer raced home when third baseman Mike Cubbage threw wildly on a bunt by Paul Dade, enabling the Indians to defeat the Twins, 4-3. The Twins nicked Rick Wise for all their runs in the fifth, two scoring on a double by Willie Norwood, but Dade singled a tally home for the Indians in their half of the fifth and Johnny Grubb tied the score by smashing a two-run homer in the sixth.

Royals 6, Tigers 3 at Detroit (day game):
Dennis Leonard, who had a 4-2 record at home but was 0-7 on the road, finally gained his first victory away from Kansas City when the Royals defeated the Tigers, 6-3. Bob Sykes, who started for the Tigers, retired the first 12 batters before the Royals put together singles by Al Cowens, John Wathan, Joe Zdeb and U.L. Washington in the fifth inning to tie the score at 2-2. Amos Otis broke the deadlock in the sixth, smashing a homer after a single by Hal McRae. A wild throw by Milt May enabled the Royals to add an unearned run in the same stanza before Frank White capped their scoring with a circuit clout in the seventh. Steve Kemp and Jason Thompson hit solo homers for the Tigers.

Brewers 5, Blue Jays 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
Making his sixth start since coming off the Brewers' disabled list May 15 following elbow surgery, Bill Travers posted his first complete-game victory since April 17, 1977, beating the Blue Jays, 5-0. Larry Hisle had three singles and drove in three of the Brewers' runs, while Sal Bando accounted for two others with a pair of sacrifice flies. Paul Molitor hit a double and two singles and scored three times.

Orioles 1, A's 0 at Oakland (day game):
Jim Palmer pitched a three-hitter and posted his fourth shutout in his last five starts, extending the Orioles' winning streak to nine games with a 1-0 victory over the A's. Steve Renko dueled with Palmer until the ninth inning when Ken Singleton singled with two out and Lee May doubled to drive in pinch-runner Carlos Lopez.

Red Sox 13, Mariners 1 at Seattle (night game):
The Red Sox took advantage of three errors by Craig Reynolds in the fourth inning, scored eight runs and coasted to a 13-1 victory over the Mariners. The Red Sox had only three hits during their big inning, plus five walks. After the third of Reynolds' errors with two out and the bases loaded, Rick Burleson drove in three runs with a triple. In addition to his bad night with the glove, Reynolds was stopped on a 16-game hitting streak.

Rangers 4, White Sox 3 at Texas (night game):
A successful squeeze bunt by Toby Harrah in the sixth inning produced the Rangers' deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the White Sox. Before turning to the bunt, the Rangers overcame a 3-0 deficit with two homers -- a solo swat by Bump Wills in third and a belt by Bobby Bonds with a man on base that tied the score in the sixth. After Bonds' blow, Juan Beniquez singled, took third on another single by Jim Mason and scored on Harrah's squeeze.

Padres 10, Cubs 8 at Chicago (day game):
Dave Winfield smashed a pair of three-run homers to help power the Padres to a 10-8 victory over the Cubs. After Winfield's first wallop in the first inning and a solo swat by Oscar Gamble in the third, the Cubs took a 7-4 lead with the aid of two-run homers by Larry Biittner and Dave Kingman. The Padres retaliated with a four-run outburst in the sixth. After singles by Bill Almon, Fernando Gonzalez and Gene Richards produced one run, Winfield hit his second three-run homer of the game.

Dodgers 5, Expos 4 at Montreal (night game):
The Dodgers snapped a three-game losing streak when Dusty Baker drove in two runs with a double in the ninth inning to beat the Expos, 5-4. Chris Speier drove in two runs for the Expos with a pair of singles and also doubled and scored on a single by Warren Cromartie for a 4-3 lead in the seventh. In the Dodgers' ninth, Steve Garvey singled, Ron Cey walked and Rick Monday sacrificed before Baker hit his double.

Giants 2, Mets 1 at New York (day game):
Shortstop Tim Foli had a bad day in the field with three errors and two of them resulted in unearned runs that enabled the Giants to edge the Mets, 2-1. In the third inning, Foli threw wildly on a grounder by Jack Clark for a two-base error. After advancing to third on an infield out, Clark scored on a safe bunt by Larry Herndon. In the sixth, Johnnie LeMaster singled and Vida Blue walked. Bill Madlock then grounded into a forceout, but when Foli threw wildly in an attempt to complete the double play, LeMaster scored the Giants' winning run. Blue gained his first victory since May 17, but the Giants had to call on both Randy Moffitt and Gary Lavelle in relief before nailing down the decision.

Phillies 6, Braves 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
After Garry Maddox broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run homer in the seventh inning, the Phillies proceeded to defeat the Braves, 6-2, for their eighth straight victory. Dick Ruthven, pitching for the Braves, retired the first 14 batters, striking out seven, before the Phillies took a 2-1 lead. Rod Gilbreath tied the score with a homer in the seventh, but the Phillies came right back with three runs in their half. Richie Hebner singled ahead of Maddox' homer and another run followed on singles by Bob Boone and Bake McBride around a sacrifice by Jim Morrison.

Reds 6, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (day game):
An error by Phil Garner in the eighth inning resulted in the Reds' tie-breaking run, leading to a 6-4 victory over the Pirates. Dan Driessen drove in the Reds' first three runs with a homer and a single. Willie Stargell hit a double and a homer to account for two RBIs and help the Pirates to a 4-3 lead before Joe Morgan tied the score with a homer in the seventh. With two out in the eighth, Pete Rose hit a grounder that went through Garner's legs for a two-base error. Ken Griffey followed with the tie-breaking single. Cesar Geronimo iced the decision with a homer in the ninth.

Astros 12, Cardinals 5 at St. Louis (night game):
Bob Watson and Enos Cabell knocked in seven runs between them as the Astros came back from a 4-0 deficit to overpower the Cardinals, 12-5. The Astros tied the score in the fourth inning with five hits, including a two-run double by Reggie Baldwin. After Cabell broke the tie with a homer in the fifth, the Astros erupted for seven runs in the next inning. Cabell batted in a pair with a double and Watson homered with two men on base.
