Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 8, Twins 6 at Baltimore (night game):
Pushing across two runs in the eighth inning against winless reliever Mike Marshall, the Orioles posted an 8-6 decision over the Twins. With the score 6-6, Al Bumbry led off the Baltimore eighth with a base on balls. Mark Belanger laid down a bunt and third baseman John Castino threw wide of second, allowing Bumbry to reach third. Ken Singleton then grounded to short, delivering the run.

Blue Jays 7, Angels 3 at California (night game):
The Blue Jays set a club record by winning their fifth consecutive game, beating the Angels, 7-3. The Jays got two runs in their first turn at bat on a double by Rick Bosetti and homer by Al Woods. Otto Velez cracked a two-run round-tripper in the third and a bases-loaded single by Damaso Garcia produced another pair of tallies in the sixth.

Royals 12, White Sox 5 at Chicago (night game):
Punching out nine straight hits in an eight-run fourth inning, the Royals routed the White Sox, 12-5. The outburst came after two outs and was one short of the A.L. mark for most consecutive hits, set by Boston in 1901. The major league mark is 12, set by the Cardinals in 1920 and Brooklyn in 1930. The White Sox were leading, 3-1, in the fourth when the Royals broke loose. John Wathan, Willie Aikens and Frank White hit singles for one run. After an infield hit by Bob Detherage loaded the bases, a double by Willie Wilson was good for two tallies. A single by U.L. Washington drove in two more and sent White Sox starter Ken Kravec to the showers in favor of Randy Scarbery. Dave Chalk bunted safely, Hal McRae doubled in two runs and Darrell Porter singled to produce the final marker. Detherage hit his first major league homer, a three-run shot, in the fifth inning.

Yankees 4, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Yankees won their fifth straight game, beating the Brewers, 4-1, as Tommy John scattered seven hits in raising his record to 5-0. Eric Soderholm led off the second inning with a single and reached second when Brewers left fielder Ben Oglivie dropped Lou Piniella's fly for an error. After a walk to Graig Nettles loaded the bases, Soderholm scored on a sacrifice fly by Bucky Dent. Soderholm blasted a leadoff homer in the fourth. The Yankees scored twice in the ninth on an RBI single by Nettles and Dent's second sacrifice fly.

Indians 2, A's 1 at Oakland (day game):
Four-hit pitching by Rick Waits carried the Indians to a 2-1 victory over the A's. The Tribe's two runs came in the sixth inning when Jorge Orta singled with one out and went to third on a double by Duane Kuiper. Mike Hargrove then singled to right to score both runners. The A's run came in the third inning on a throwing error by Hargrove.

Mariners 7, Tigers 6 at Seattle (night game):
Late-inning heroics enabled the Mariners to edge the Tigers, 7-6. A homer by Jim Anderson in the ninth inning produced a 6-6 tie and the Mariners then won in the 10th. Tom Paciorek walked and was replaced by pinch-runner Rodney Craig, who moved to second on a sacrifice by Ted Cox. Larry Milbourne was passed intentionally and one out later Joe Simpson delivered a ground single to right to score Craig.

Red Sox 7, Rangers 4 at Texas (night game):
Taking advantage of misplays, the Red Sox scored three runs in the 11th inning to post a 7-4 decision over the Rangers. Jack Brohamer started the 11th by reaching first on an infield single when Texas pitcher Adrian Devine slipped on the rain-soaked turf while trying to field the ball. Brohamer was then safe at second when shortstop Bud Harrelson failed to step on the bag during a double-play attempt. During the ensuing argument, Brohamer went to third. Brohamer was next caught in a rundown after Rick Burleson grounded back to Devine, but catcher Jim Sundberg hit Brohamer in the back with a throw, allowing the runner to score. A sacrifice fly by Jim Rice and single by Tony Perez delivered the last two Bosox runs.

Cubs 7, Padres 4 at Chicago (day game):
A homer by Jerry Martin leading off the fourth inning snapped a 2-2 tie and triggered the Cubs to a 7-4 victory over the Padres. The Cubs added another run in the fourth on a double by Scot Thompson and single by Mike Tyson. Bill Buckner rapped run-scoring doubles in the third and seventh. Bruce Sutter picked up his eighth save.

Expos 3, Astros 0 at Montreal (day game):
Scott Sanderson and Woodie Fryman combined on a six-hitter to shut out the Astros, 3-0. The Expos took the lead against Nolan Ryan in the first inning when Ron LeFlore walked, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and came home on an infield out by Rodney Scott. Other runs followed in the second --one on an infield hit by Ken Macha and the other while a double play was being made.

Reds 3, Mets 2 at New York (night game):
A run-scoring single by Junior Kennedy in the 12th inning provided the Reds a 3-2 decision over the Mets. Ken Griffey led off the 12th with a single and, after one out, moved to second on a walk to Dan Driessen and scored on Kennedy's hit.

Pirates 7, Dodgers 6 at Pittsburgh (night game):
After blowing a 6-0 lead, the Pirates prevailed over the Dodgers, 7-6, on the strength of a seventh-inning solo homer by Dave Parker that snapped a 6-6 deadlock. Reliever Kent Tekulve stretched his string of not allowing a run to 10 appearances. Bill Madlock belted a two-run homer, Willie Stargell clouted a three-run blast and Ed Ott had a solo shot.

Cardinals 12, Giants 2 at St. Louis (day game):
Concluding the three-game series sweep, the Cardinals mauled the Giants, 12-2, behind an 18-hit barrage. The Redbirds began the scoring in the first inning when Garry Templeton singled, stole second and scored on a single by Ken Oberkfell. After two outs, Terry Kennedy tripled home the second tally of the frame. Ken Reitz raised his league-leading average to .417 with three singles while driving in four runs and winning pitcher Bob Forsch contributed a three-run homer.
