Today's scores and summaries:

Mariners 4, White Sox 2 at Chicago (night game):
Jim Beattie pitched the first five innings and Shane Rawley hurled the last four, yielding five hits between them as the Mariners defeated the White Sox, 4-2, in a game that was delayed twice by rain for a total of 108 minutes. Jim Anderson drove in two of the M's runs with a single in the third inning and scored another in the seventh.

Red Sox 2, Indians 1 at Cleveland (night game):
Fred Lynn knocked in one run with a double and scored another after hitting a single to enable the Red Sox to defeat the Indians, 2-1. In the first inning, Rick Burleson singled and raced home on Lynn's two-bagger. Lynn rapped his single in the sixth and stopped at third on a double by Jim Rice. After an intentional pass to Carl Yastrzemski, Lynn scored what proved to be the winning run as Tony Perez grounded into a double play.

Orioles 2, Tigers 1 at Detroit (night game):
Ken Singleton led off with a double in the eighth inning and came around to score on singles by Eddie Murray and Dan Graham to bring the Orioles a 2-1 victory over the Tigers.

Angels 11, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
Rod Carew drove in three runs and Larry Harlow and Bobby Grich added two RBIs apiece as the Angels walloped the Royals, 11-1. The Angels piled up eight runs in the third inning in a kayo of Rich Gale, who was pinned with his fifth straight defeat. Dave Skaggs and Harlow collected two hits apiece during the outburst, Grich and Harlow batted in two runs each and Skaggs scored twice.

Twins 4, Brewers 3 at Minnesota (night game):
The Twins rallied for two runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Brewers, 4-3, with the victory going to Jerry Koosman, who made one of his infrequent relief appearances. Ken Landreaux walked to open the eighth, took second on a balk by Bob McClure and crossed the plate on a double by Roy Smalley, tying the score at 3-3. Rick Sofield then singled, driving in Smalley with the winning run.

Yankees 6, Rangers 2 at New York (night game):
Supported by a Yankee attack that included two homers by Ruppert Jones and one by Reggie Jackson, Tommy John racked up his seventh straight victory, defeating the Rangers, 6-2. Bobby Murcer doubled in the third inning and Jones hit his first homer of the game to break a 1-1 tie. Jones' second smash and Jackson's homer came in succession in the seventh inning.

Blue Jays 1, A's 0 at Toronto (night game):
A run-scoring single by Roy Howell in the 11th inning broke up a pitchers' duel and gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 victory over the A's. Mike Norris, who had won five straight games previously, was the loser in a four-hit battle with Jesse Jefferson. Pinch-hitter Bob Bailor drew a walk to open the 11th and Alfredo Griffin sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Rick Bosetti, both runners advanced on an infield out by Al Woods. Although first base was open, the A's chose to pitch to Howell, who came through with his game-winning single.

Mets 5, Braves 3 at Atlanta (night game):
As catcher for Pete Falcone and Neil Allen, who combined to pitch a four-hitter, John Stearns drove in three runs to help the Mets defeat the Braves, 5-3. Stearns got one RBI with a bunt single in the first inning and added two others with a double in the seventh.

Phillies 3, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Losing their fourth straight game, the Astros collected only five hits off Dick Ruthven and bowed to the Phillies, 3-0. With this shutout, the Astros had not scored in 22 innings. The outcome of the game was decided in the fourth when the Phillies reached J.R. Richard for a run on a triple by Del Unser and a sacrifice fly by Mike Schmidt.

Dodgers 8, Pirates 6 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Dodgers erupted for six runs in the seventh inning, making Kent Tekulve the principal victim of their attack, to defeat the Pirates, 8-6. A pinch-double by Gary Thomasson and single by Rudy Law each accounted for two runs in the Dodgers' biggest inning of the season.

Expos 2, Reds 1 at Montreal (day game):
Tom Seaver pitched hitless ball for 6 2/3 innings and wound up with a three-hitter, but all the Reds' ace had to show for his efforts was a 2-1 loss to the Expos. Ellis Valentine ended Seaver's bid for a no-hitter with an infield single in the seventh inning. Then in the eighth, Gary Carter singled and raced home on a double by Warren Cromartie to tie the score at 1-1. Cromartie took third on the throw to the plate and counted the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Tommy Hutton.

Padres 3, Cubs 0 at San Diego (night game):
Randy Jones posted his third straight shutout, allowing only three hits and pitching the Padres to a 3-0 victory over the Cubs. Dave Winfield had a hand in all runs, scoring one and driving in two.

Giants 4, Cardinals 3 at San Francisco (night game):
Three pinch-hitters came through with hits and two pinch-runners scored as the Giants rallied in the ninth inning to defeat the Cardinals, 4-3. Milt May started the rally with a pinch-single and gave way to pinch-runner Mike Sadek. Mike Ivie followed with a pinch-double, Sadek stopping at third. Roger Metzger ran for Ivie. Jim Wohlford came up as the Giants' third pinch-hitter and singled, driving in Sadek and Metzger with the tying and winning runs.
