Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 9, Yankees 6 at California (day game):
Unleashing a 16-hit bombardment, the Angels outslugged the Yankees, 9-6. Lyman Bostock, with 24 hits in 49 at-bats during his 11-game hitting streak, drove in two runs with a pair of singles. The Angels trailed, 4-3, going into the bottom of the fifth but began a four-run uprising when Yankee shortstop Fred Stanley booted a grounder by Joe Rudi. The inning was capped by a two-run single by Brian Downing with the bases loaded.

Indians 2, Twins 1 at Cleveland (day game):
Handing reliever Mike Marshall his fifth consecutive defeat after an opening win, the Indians prevailed over the Twins, 2-1, in 10 innings. Marshall took over for starter Gary Serum in the 10th and immediately yielded a triple to Buddy Bell. After one out, Marshall issued a pair of walks to fill the bases and Ted Cox then drove the ball against the center field fence to end the game. The Tribe had tied the contest in the eighth on a two-base error by Twins' left fielder Willie Norwood and a double by Rick Manning. The Twins' run came in the fifth when reliever Mike Paxton committed a balk with the bases loaded.

Tigers 5, Royals 2 at Detroit (day game):
A three-run homer by Rusty Staub with one out in the 10th inning provided the Tigers with a 5-2 decision over the Royals. Staub's blast came off loser Al Hrabosky after a double by Ron LeFlore and a walk to Steve Kemp. Kemp's walk was his 48th of the season, tops in the A.L. The Royals tied the game, 2-2, in the ninth on a single by George Brett, stolen base by pinch-runner Willie Wilson and a single by Clint Hurdle.

[DH] Brewers 2, Blue Jays 1 (day game) / Brewers 5, Blue Jays 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
Late-inning home runs in both games carried the Brewers to a doubleheader sweep over the Blue Jays, 2-1 and 5-4. In the opener, Larry Hisle belted a solo clout with two out in the bottom of the eighth to provide the winning margin as Lary Sorensen set a club record with his eighth straight complete game. In the nightcap, Robin Yount clubbed his first round-tripper of the season to lead off the ninth frame and snap a 4-4 tie. The Brewers had evened the contest in the eighth on a walk to Hisle and double by Ben Oglivie.

Orioles 3, A's 0 at Oakland (day game):
The surging Orioles won their 10th straight game, beating the A's, 3-0, and spoiling the pro debut of 18-year-old pitcher Mike Morgan, who was Oakland's first choice in the June draft. Larry Harlow opened the game with a walk off Morgan and Billy Smith followed with a single. Both runners advanced on an infield out and Harlow scored when Ken Singleton bounced out. Smith, who got new life when Wayne Gross dropped his pop foul, drew a walk in the third and Singleton doubled to make it 2-0. Lee May hit a solo homer in the eighth.

Red Sox 5, Mariners 3 at Seattle (day game):
Homers by Dwight Evans and Rick Burleson sparked the Red Sox to a 5-3 verdict over the Mariners. Burleson stroked his round-tripper in the third inning. The Red Sox took the lead with a three-run outburst in the fourth. Singles by Carl Yastrzemski, George Scott, Jack Brohamer and Evans produced two runs and a sacrifice fly by Fred Kendall drove in the third tally of the frame. Evans clouted a solo blast in the eighth.

White Sox 2, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
Eric Soderholm drove in one run and scored another as the White Sox squeaked by the Rangers, 2-1. The deciding run came in the seventh on Soderholm's infield out after singles by Jorge Orta and Don Kessinger. The White Sox got their other tally in the third on a pop double by Soderholm and a single by Alan Bannister. The Rangers scored in the sixth stanza on a leadoff triple by Al Oliver and sacrifice fly by Richie Zisk.

Cubs 7, Padres 4 at Chicago (day game):
A four-run rally in the sixth inning carried the Cubs past the Padres, 7-4. The winning outburst began when Steve Ontiveros led off with a two-base hit and scored the tying run on a double by Hector Cruz. Larry Cox bunted for a single, sending Cruz to third. After an out, Ivan DeJesus walked to fill the bases, bringing on John D'Acquisto in relief of starter Bob Shirley. D'Acquisto promptly issued consecutive walks to pinch-hitter Greg Gross and Larry Biittner. Eric Rasmussen replaced D'Acquisto and Dave Kingman hit a sacrifice fly for the fourth run of the inning. Bruce Sutter came on in the seventh to pick up his eighth save of the season.

Dodgers 11, Expos 4 at Montreal (day game):
Raking five Montreal pitchers for 21 hits -- the most in the league this season -- the Dodgers romped over the Expos, 11-4, routing Ross Grimsley in 1 1/3 innings on six hits and six runs. Ron Cey drove in four runs -- three on an eighth-inning homer -- and Steve Garvey drove in two tallies in the first and second innings. Tony Perez got his 2,000th career hit. The crowd of 48,389 was the largest at Olympic Stadium this year.

Giants 7, Mets 5 at New York (day game):
Willie McCovey went 4-for-4, Darrell Evans homered and scored three times and Jack Clark collected two hits and drove in three runs as the Giants outlasted the Mets, 7-5. McCovey stroked two singles, two doubles, scored two runs and drove in one before being lifted for a pinch-runner in the seventh inning. The Shea Stadium crowd gave him a standing ovation upon his departure. Evans was 3-for-5 with two RBIs.

Braves 4, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (day game):
A Jacket Day crowd of 58,367 -- largest in major leagues this season -- saw the Phillies succumb to the six-hit pitching of Phil Niekro and lose to the Braves, 4-0, snapping their winning streak. A homer by Gary Matthews in the third inning gave the Braves their first two runs. Niekro opened the fifth with a double and Jeff Burroughs and Matthews hit successive two-out triples for the final two tallies.

Pirates 3, Reds 1 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Ed Ott hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and Phil Garner followed with a run-scoring double to lift the Pirates to a 3-1 triumph over the Reds. With the score 1-1, Dave Parker opened the eighth with a triple. One out later, Willie Stargell walked and Ott drove a fly to center, scoring Parker. Garner then followed with his two-base hit, driving in Stargell. A homer by George Foster gave the Reds a 1-0 lead in the second inning, but the Pirates tied the contest in the seventh when Tom Hume hit Frank Taveras with a pitch with the bases loaded.

Cardinals 5, Astros 3 at St. Louis (day game):
A double by George Hendrick propelled the Cardinals to a 5-3 decision over the Astros. The Cards trailed, 3-2, in the bottom of the seventh when John Denny drew a two-out walk and Lou Brock got an infield single. Ken Forsch replaced starter Joaquin Andujar and walked Garry Templeton to load the bases. Hendrick smashed the reliever's first pitch to him for a bases-clearing two-bagger. Ken Reitz singled home the Redbirds' first run in the second and tied the game at 2-2 with a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
