The Brewers had four homers in the game, one each by Oglivie and Gorman Thomas and two by Cecil Cooper, who connected each time with a man on base.

Rangers 1, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
The Rangers and White Sox played to a 1-1 tie in a game called off because of rain and wet grounds with one out in the last half of the sixth inning. The Rangers scored in the first on a double by Mickey Rivers, sacrifice by Bump Wills and infield out by Al Oliver. The White Sox knotted the count in the fifth when Lamar Johnson doubled and Jim Morrison singled.

Indians 10, A's 5 at Cleveland (night game):
The Indians put together 11 hits and 11 walks in gaining a 10-5 victory over the A's.

The Indians split their RBIs among five different players, with Dave Rosello hitting a homer to account for two. Mitchell Page and Dwayne Murphy rapped round-trippers for the A's.

Mariners 3, Tigers 3 at Detroit (night game):
After the clubs had played 13 innings, rain forced the umpires to halt the game between the Mariners and Tigers with the score tied, 3-3.

Kirk Gibson homered for the Tigers and Richie Hebner accounted for their two other runs with a sacrifice fly and single.

Yankees 5, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
Eric Soderholm hit a two-run homer and Rick Cerone batted in two more runs with a double as the Yankees did all their scoring in the first inning to defeat the Royals, 5-3.
