Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 4, Mariners 3 at California (day game):
A three-run outburst in the first inning propelled the Angels to a 4-3 decision over the Mariners. Rick Miller and Rod Carew began the Angels' first with singles before Carney Lansford doubled in the first run. A sacrifice fly by Don Baylor plated Carew and a single by Joe Rudi drove in Lansford. In the fifth, Carew reached first base on an error, stole second and came home with the deciding run on a double by Lansford.

Brewers 11, White Sox 1 at Chicago (day game):
Robin Yount hit a grand slam and four pitchers combined on a four-hitter as the Brewers routed the White Sox, 11-1. Yount's round-tripper came in a six-run eighth inning. A single by Gorman Thomas and a wild pitch accounted for the other markers in the big frame. The loss was the sixth in the last seven games for the White Sox.

Royals 5, Red Sox 3 at Kansas City (day game):
Making his first appearance in the starting lineup since returning from a six-week alcohol and drug rehabilitation program, Darrell Porter singled and tripled and knocked in three runs to spark the Royals to a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox. Porter's three-bagger came in the first inning and scored Hal McRae. In the third, U.L. Washington singled, Willie Wilson was hit by a pitched ball and both runners moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Frank White before Porter drove them in with a single. Dennis Leonard received credit for his first win in four decisions.

Yankees 10, Twins 1 at Minnesota (day game):
Homers by Reggie Jackson and Rick Cerone highlighted the Yankees' 10-1 thrashing of the Twins. Jackson's homer was a 445-foot shot into the center field bleachers to lead off the second inning and Cerone's was a three-run inside-the-park affair in the fifth frame. The Yankees registered six runs in the fourth on singles by Lou Piniella, Graig Nettles, Cerone, Ruppert Jones and Bob Watson and a sacrifice fly by Willie Randolph.

[DH] Tigers 4, A's 0 (day game) / A's 1, Tigers 0 at Oakland (day game):
Trading shutouts, the Tigers won the first game of a doubleheader, 4-0, behind the four-hit pitching of Milt Wilcox, and the A's captured the second contest, 1-0, as Mike Norris hurled a four-hitter and Jeff Newman connected for a homer in the sixth inning. Kirk Gibson paced the Tigers' attack in the lidlifter with three hits, including a homer.

Orioles 9, Rangers 5 at Texas (night game):
A two-run homer by Ken Singleton in the first inning ignited the Orioles to a 9-5 victory over the Rangers. Singleton's blow came after a single by Pat Kelly. The Birds exploded for five runs in the second stanza. A single by Mark Belanger and safe bunts by Al Bumbry and Gary Roenicke loaded the bases before Singleton walked to force in a run. Eddie Murray then laced a two-run double and Terry Crowley followed with a two-run single.

[DH] Blue Jays 9, Indians 8 (day game) / Blue Jays 7, Indians 2 at Toronto (night game):
Otto Velez tied an A.L. record by belting four homers in a doubleheader and came within one of the record for RBIs, driving in 10 runs, to spark the Blue Jays to a 9-8, 7-2 sweep of the Indians. In the first game, Velez blasted a grand slam in the first inning and a two-run shot in the eighth before breaking an 8-8 tie with a leadoff homer in the 10th. In the second game, Velez drilled a three-run round-tripper in the first inning. The Tribe hit five homers in the first game -- bases-empty shots by Jorge Orta, Toby Harrah and Cliff Johnson and two-run blows by Gary Alexander and Mike Hargrove.

[DH] Reds 3, Cubs 2 (day game) / Reds 5, Cubs 4 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Reds swept a pair from the Cubs, 3-2 and 5-4, as Cesar Geronimo and Junior Kennedy were the heroes. In the lidlifter, the Reds tallied two runs in the sixth inning on a single by Dave Collins, pass to Ken Griffey, single by Ray Knight and sacrifice fly by Dan Driessen. In the top of the seventh, after the Cubs scored a run, center fielder Geronimo threw out Mike Tyson, who was attempting to score the tying tally on a fly off the bat of Ivan DeJesus. Then in the bottom of the frame, Geronimo provided the Reds' winning run with a homer. The Reds trailed, 4-0, going into the bottom of the sixth inning of the second game when they loaded the bases on singles by Collins, Geronimo and Knight. A walk to Driessen was good for one run and Kennedy then connected for a grand slam -- only his second career home run.

[DH] Giants 8, Expos 4 (day game) / Expos 6, Giants 4 at Montreal (day game):
After the Giants won the first game of a doubleheader, 8-4, the Expos rebounded in the second game, 6-4. In the opener, the Giants tallied twice in the first inning when Jack Clark and Willie McCovey walked and Terry Whitfield doubled them home. Clark singled home a run in the seventh and doubled two more across in a four-run eighth. The Giants took a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh in the nightcap, but John Tamargo led off a with single and Ken Macha, who had hit his first major league home run in the third, walked. Both runners advanced on a passed ball and scored on a double by Tony Bernazard. A two-bagger by Rowland Office then tied the game. Office moved to third on a fly ball and scored the winning run on a single by Andre Dawson.

[DH] Padres 4, Mets 3 (day game) / Mets 6, Padres 2 at New York (day game):
The Padres won the first game, 4-3, and the Mets took the second contest, 6-2, in a split of a doubleheader. The score was 3-3 in the eighth inning of the opener when Gene Richards reached first on an infield hit and Dave Winfield followed with a line single to right that outfielder Joel Youngblood misplayed, allowing Richards to score the winning run. The second game was played under a protest filed during the second inning when the Mets scored three runs. Mike Jorgensen singled and was sent to second by plate umpire Lanny Harris on an apparent balk. But second base ump Eric Gregg overruled Harris, noting that pitcher Rasmussen had taken a step back before the pickoff attempt. Padres Manager Jerry Coleman, who had been ejected for arguing the original balk call, then lodged his protest. When play resumed, Steve Henderson singled and Ron Hodges walked to load the bases. Elliott Maddox followed with a two-run single and John Pacella added a run with a single.

Dodgers 12, Phillies 10 at Philadelphia (day game):
After blowing a 9-0 lead, the Dodgers finally prevailed over the Phillies, 12-10. The score was 9-9 going into the ninth inning when the Dodgers loaded the sacks on consecutive singles by Derrel Thomas, Gary Thomasson and Steve Garvey. Thomas scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball and Mickey Hatcher followed with a two-run double. The Dodgers took an early lead on a pair of homers by Dusty Baker -- a three-run blast in the first inning and two-run shot in the sixth. The Phils were aided in their comeback by a three-run homer by Greg Luzinski in the sixth and solo clout by Bob Boone before tying the game in the eighth on a two-run pinch-single by John Vukovich.

Pirates 13, Braves 4 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Homers by Willie Stargell, Phil Garner and Bill Madlock backed the steady pitching of Jim Bibby as the Pirates routed the Braves, 13-4. The Bucs took the lead for good in the third inning when Dave Parker drove in a run with an infield out and Stargell delivered a two-run homer. Garner's and Madlock's homers were solo shots. Parker and Stargell each had three RBIs and Omar Moreno stole three bases.

Astros 4, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (day game):
Although needing relief help, Ken Forsch received credit for his fourth victory of the season as the Astros took a 4-2 decision over the Cardinals. The score was tied, 1-1, in the third inning when the Astros went ahead on a double by Rafael Landestoy and single by Terry Puhl. Jose Cruz hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth frame and Forsch drilled a run-scoring single in the sixth. Reliever Frank LaCorte came on in the ninth with two on and one out and struck out Bobby Bonds and Garry Templeton.
