The Mariners snapped the Orioles' seven-game winning streak and ended their own four-game losing skein with a 5-4 victory. Ruppert Jones drove in three runs with a pair of doubles. After his first RBI double in the fifth inning, Jones highlighted a three-run rally in the seventh with a two-run double and then scored on a single by Bruce Bochte.

Red Sox 16, A's 4 at Boston (night game):
Jim Rice drove in five runs on a pair of homers as the Red Sox routed the A's, 16-4. The Red Sox piled up five runs in the first inning.

White Sox 6, Royals 2 at Chicago (night game):
Chet Lemon scored the tie-breaking run after escaping a rundown in the bottom of the eighth inning as the White Sox scored a 6-2 victory over the Royals. Lemon led off with a double and reached third when Royal left fielder Willie Wilson misplayed the ball. After Jorge Orta walked, Lamar Johnson hit a dribbler in front of the plate. Relief pitcher Dan Quisenberry fielded the ball and trapped Lemon in a rundown. Lemon headed for the plate and avoided the tag to score. Quisenberry was charged with an error. Subsequently in the same frame, Bill Nahorodny broke the game open with a three-run double.

Tigers 11, Brewers 2 at Detroit (night game):

The Indians' other run came in the seventh when Bobby Bonds walked, stole second and scored on a double by Andre Thornton.

Angels 9, Yankees 5 at New York (night game):

Ryan was flown back to California for X-rays. The Angels scored three times in the second inning. A double by Joe Rudi and a pair of walks loaded the bases. One run scored when catcher Jerry Narron's return throw eluded pitcher Tommy John. The second tally came across on a single by Rod Carew and the third registered when Narron threw wildly as Carew stole second. The Angels wrapped up the game in the eighth with a two-run single by Rudi, sacrifice fly by Bobby Grich and RBI groundout by Jim Anderson.

The Dodgers exploded for a 16-8 triumph over the Phillies as Joe Ferguson knocked in five runs and Dusty Baker drove in four. The Dodgers tallied six times in the third inning. A walk to Davey Lopes and singles by Bill Russell and Steve Garvey produced the first run of the frame. A walk to Ron Cey loaded the bases and Baker stroked a two-run single. Rawly Eastwick relieved starter Dick Ruthven on the mound for the Phils and walked Ferguson to reload the bases. A single by Yeager plated two runs and a single by Rick Sutcliffe added the final marker of the frame. Ferguson singled in two runs in the sixth and clouted a three-run homer in the eighth. Mike Schmidt drilled a three-run homer in the first for the Phils and Pete Rose hit a three-run double in the ninth.

Reds 6, Pirates 5 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Pushing across a run in the 10th inning, the Reds edged the Pirates, 6-5. The score was 5-5 when Dave Collins began the Reds' 10th with a double and hector Cruz followed with another two-bagger. The Reds had trailed, 5-4, in the eighth but tied the score on Johnny Bench's second homer of the game.

Expos 6, Padres 5 at San Diego (night game):
The third double of the game by Tony Perez drove home two runs in the ninth inning and lifted the Expos to a 6-5 decision over the Padres. The Padres led, 5-4, when pinch-hitter Tommy Hutton began the Expos' ninth with a single. Jerry White ran for Hutton and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Warren Cromartie. After Rodney Scott walked, Eric Rasmussen relieved Bob Owchinko on the hill for the Padres. Perez then lined his double to plate the tying and winning runs.

Mets 3, Giants 0 at San Francisco (day game):
Craig Swan shut out San Francisco for the second time this season as the Mets downed the Giants, 3-0. The Mets' first run came in the second inning on a throwing error by Frisco catcher Dennis Littlejohn and a passed ball. Joel Youngblood connected for a homer in the fourth. The Mets registered their final marker in the fifth on a single by Doug Flynn, an infield out and single by Elliott Maddox.

Braves 13, Cardinals 4 at St. Louis (night game):
A bases-loaded triple by Barry Bonnell highlighted an eight-run outburst in the seventh inning as the Braves thumped the Cardinals, 13-4. The Braves trailed, 4-3, going into the seventh, when George Frazier came on to pitch for the Redbirds. Consecutive singles by Gary Matthews, Rowland Office and Bob Horner tied the score and brought on the exit of Frazier and entrance of Mark Littell, who walked Dale Murphy to load the bases. Bonnell then cleared the sacks with his triple. A single by Joe Nolan plated Bonnell. Other runs followed on an error by Card second baseman Ken Oberkfell, single by Jerry Royster and double by Horner.
