Today's scores and summaries:

Mariners 2, Angels 0 at California (night game):
Becoming the first five-game winner this season, Rick Honeycutt allowed only five hits and pitched the Mariners to a 2-0 victory over the Angels. Honeycutt was tied in a scoreless duel with Bruce Kison until the Mariners broke through for a run in the eighth inning. Rodney Craig doubled and was tagged out in a rundown when Jim Anderson bounced to short. Anderson advanced to second on the play and scored when Dan Meyer singled. Larry Cox added the insurance run with a single in the ninth.

Brewers 4, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
Capping an outburst with a homer by Ben Oglivie, the Brewers scored all their runs in the sixth inning to defeat the White Sox, 4-1. Paul Molitor was hit by a pitch and took third on a single by Robin Yount, who moved to second on the throw. Sal Bando hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Molitor, and when center fielder Chet Lemon made a bad throw, Yount also crossed the plate. Larry Hisle then singled and Oglivie followed with his homer to end the scoring.

Red Sox 7, Royals 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Previously 0-for-13, Glenn Hoffman, rookie third baseman with the Red Sox, rapped his first four major league hits to feature a 7-0 victory over the Royals. Chuck Rainey pitched the shutout on a five-hitter. Hoffman drove in two runs and scored one. Carlton Fisk also had four hits.

Yankees 7, Twins 3 at Minnesota (day game):
With batting support from Eric Soderholm and Graig Nettles, Tommy John gained credit for his fourth straight victory and seventh in a row over two seasons as the Yankees defeated the Twins, 7-3. Soderholm homered with a man on base in the second inning. Nettles hit singles in the fourth, sixth and eighth, driving in a run on each occasion. Rich Gossage pitched the last two innings in relief of John.

A's 5, Tigers 3 at Oakland (day game):
Virtually pilfering a victory, the A's stole home twice while beating the Tigers, 5-3. After the Tigers took a 2-0 lead, the A's tied the score in the second inning on singles by Dave Revering and Wayne Gross, an infield out by Jeff Newman and theft of home by Gross. The A's broke away in the next stanza with two more runs. Rob Picciolo doubled and scored on singles by Dwayne Murphy and Mitchell Page. After Gross beat out an infield tap to load the bases, the runners worked a triple steal with Page scoring. Tony Armas homered for the A's in the sixth.

Rangers 3, Orioles 2 at Texas (night game):
Fergie Jenkins became the fourth pitcher in history to win 100 or more games in each major league when the Rangers' righthander defeated the Orioles, 3-2. Jenkins won 149 games in the N. L. with the Phillies and Cubs. He was with the Red Sox, in addition to the Rangers, in achieving 100 victories in the A. L. The other pitchers in the century class in each league are Cy Young, Jim Bunning and Gaylord Perry. The Rangers backed Jenkins with a homer by Al Oliver in the first inning and run-scoring single by Pepe Frias in the second before adding what proved to be the deciding tally on an error by Oriole first baseman Eddie Murray in the sixth. Pinch-hitter Pat Kelly homered for the Orioles' runs in the eighth.

Blue Jays 8, Indians 3 at Toronto (day game):
Barry Bonnell batted in six runs with a homer, double and single, leading the Blue Jays to an 8-3 victory over the Indians. Bonnell singled with the bases loaded for two runs in the third inning, homered with a mate aboard in the fifth and whacked a two-run double in the seventh. John Mayberry also homered for the Blue Jays.

Cubs 7, Reds 1 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Cubs erupted for five runs in the first inning to start on their way to a 7-1 victory over the Reds. Ivan DeJesus walked, stole second and scored the first run on a double by Bill Buckner, who also crossed the plate on singles by Dave Kingman and Jerry Martin. Barry Foote then knocked in two runs with a triple and counted himself on a single by Scot Thompson.

Giants 3, Expos 2 at Montreal (day game):
Willie McCovey hit the 521st homer of his major league career, tying the veteran slugger with Ted Williams for eighth place on the all-time list, to mark the Giants' 3-2 victory over the Expos. McCovey's smash started the Giants' scoring in the fourth inning. Rennie Stennett doubled and Johnny LeMaster singled for another tally in the seventh. After the Expos came back to tie the score in their half, the Giants registered their winning run when Stennett singled and Milt May doubled in the ninth.

Padres 2, Mets 1 at New York (day game):
Rookie lefthander Gary Lucas shut out the Mets for 8 1/3 innings before yielding a homer by Joel Youngblood, but Rollie Fingers then took over and saved the Padres' 2-1 victory. The Padres touched Craig Swan for a run in the third inning on a single by Barry Evans, sacrifice by Lucas and double by Ozzie Smith. What proved to be the deciding tally counted in the fourth after Gene Richards and Dave Winfield singled. Swan threw wildly to second in a pickoff attempt, allowing the runners to advance and, one out later, Jerry Mumphrey singled to drive in Richards.

Phillies 7, Dodgers 3 at Philadelphia (day game):
Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski hit back-to-back homers in the second inning, igniting a six-run explosion by the Phillies in a 7-3 victory over the Dodgers. After the round-trippers, Bob Boone tripled and scored on a single by Larry Bowa, who stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Luis Aguayo. Larry Christenson sacrificed and Pete Rose walked before the last two tallies of the stanza counted on a single by Bake McBride and sacrifice fly by Garry Maddox.

Braves 3, Pirates 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
A wild pitch with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and a sacrifice fly gave the Braves a 3-1 victory over the Pirates. With one out, a single by pinch-hitter Charlie Spikes, pass to Gary Matthews and single by Jerry Royster filled the sacks. Grant Jackson, on the mound in relief for the Pirates, then threw a pitch into the dirt, allowing Spikes to score. Larvell Blanks followed with a sacrifice fly for an insurance counter.

Astros 4, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (night game):
With last-out help from Joe Sambito, Vern Ruhle pitched the Astros to a 4-2 victory over the Cardinals. Ruhle yielded only four hits while collecting two himself, including a double that scored Cesar Cedeno in the fourth inning and put the Astros ahead, 3-0. A walk, balk and single by Jose Cruz added a tally in the fifth before the Cardinals scored on a single by Ted Simmons and homer by George Hendrick in the eighth.
