Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 6, Angels 5 at California (day game):
Jim Rice homered, singled and scored two runs as the Red Sox won their sixth straight game, 6-5 over the Angels. Rice broke a 1-1 tie with a leadoff homer in the sixth and the Sox made it 3-1 in the seventh on a triple by Jim Dwyer and sacrifice fly by Glenn Hoffman. Singles by Rice, Carlton Fisk and Butch Hobson produced another Red Sox run in the eighth and Tony Perez doubled home a pair of tallies in the ninth. The Angels rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single by Freddie Patek and run-scoring double by Rod Carew before Skip Lockwood came on to get the final out.

Indians 14, Twins 5 at Cleveland (day game):
Toby Harrah drove in seven runs with four hits and Jorge Orta banged out six hits in pacing a 21-hit attack that gave the Indians a 14-5 victory over the Twins. Harrah clouted a three-run homer in the first inning, tripled in a run during a three-run fourth, singled home two runs in the sixth stanza and singled home another run in the seventh. Orta's output boosted his batting average to .339.

Royals 7, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (day game):
Two home runs by Amos Otis and solo blasts by Willie Aikens and Hal McRae powered the Royals to a 7-2 thumping of the Brewers. The Royals scored their first run in the fifth inning on an RBI single by Frank White, and round-trippers by Otis and Aikens upped the lead to 3-0 in the sixth. Otis smacked a two-run clout in the eighth and McRae drilled a bases-empty homer in the ninth.

Yankees 8, A's 2 at Oakland (day game):
Reggie Jackson belted two homers and Luis Tiant threw a four-hitter in going the route for the first time this season as the Yankees posted an 8-2 decision over the A's. Jackson homered in the first inning to stake the Yanks to a 2-0 lead and clouted a solo shot in the ninth. Bob Watson and Graig Nettles each added two RBIs as N.Y. moved 16 games over .500 and opened up a five-game lead in the A.L. East.

Orioles 9, Mariners 3 at Seattle (day game):
The Orioles averted falling into last place in the A.L. East by beating the Mariners, 9-3. The Birds broke a 3-3 tie with a four-run sixth inning as Kiko Garcia doubled home two runs and Rick Dempsey and Rich Dauer each drove in a tally during the outburst. The Orioles' final two runs came in the eighth on a bases-loaded single by Doug DeCinces. Sammy Stewart scattered nine singles in going the distance.

Blue Jays 5, Rangers 3 at Toronto (day game):
Combining on a six-hitter, Jim Clancy and Jerry Garvin pitched the Blue Jays to a 5-3 triumph over the Rangers. The Jays picked up two runs in the second inning on an RBI double by Otto Velez and run-scoring single by Al Woods, and Damaso Garcia made it 3-0 in the third with a solo homer. The final Toronto tallies came in the sixth on an RBI grounder by Joe Cannon and RBI single by Bob Davis.

Cubs 4, Braves 1 at Chicago (day game):
The Cubs defeated the Braves, 4-1, behind the combined seven-hit pitching of Mike Krukow and Bruce Sutter. Krukow struck out eight and walked none before being replaced after giving up three straight hits to start the eighth inning. Sutter came on to record his 13th save of the season. Ivan DeJesus led off the Chicago first with a walk, stole second, reached third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bill Buckner. Buckner stroked an RBI single in the third inning and Jerry Martin drilled a solo homer in the fourth. The final Cubs run came on an RBI single by Mike Tyson in the eighth.

Dodgers 1, Expos 0 at Montreal (day game):
Bob Welch tossed a three-hitter in pitching the Dodgers past the Expos, 1-0. The lone run came in the sixth inning. Rudy Law smacked an infield single and went to second on a sacrifice by Davey Lopes. After Reggie Smith was walked, he and Law executed a double steal. Law was thrown out at the plate on a grounder by Steve Garvey, but Dusty Baker followed with a single that scored Smith.

Giants 3, Mets 0 at New York (day game):
The Giants whitewashed the Mets, 3-0, behind the seven-hit pitching of Bob Knepper. Frisco took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Darrell Evans walked, stole second, went to third on a groundout and scored on a single by Rich Murray. In the fourth frame, Jack Clark singled and Evans followed with a homer. The Jacket Day crowd of 44,910 was the first sellout at Shea Stadium in two years.

Phillies 8, Padres 5 at Philadelphia (day game):
Taking advantage of San Diego misplays, the Phillies dealt the Padres their seventh straight loss, 8-5. Greg Luzinski delivered the first Phillies run in the opening inning with a single and Keith Moreland added another tally in the same frame with a sacrifice fly. Catcher's interference contributed to one of two Phillies runs in the second stanza and a pair of throwing errors -- by Padres third baseman Tim Flannery on a ground ball and catcher Bill Fahey on a pickoff attempt -- handed the Phillies three more runs in the fifth.

Pirates 4, Astros 1 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Ed Ott went 3-for-3 and drove in two runs, one on a solo homer, to pace the Pirates to a 4-1 triumph over the Astros. Ott singled home the first of two fifth-inning runs and the second tally resulted from an RBI groundout by Dale Berra. Mike Easler stroked a run-scoring single in the sixth and Ott's round-tripper came with one out in the seventh. John Candelaria scattered eight hits in recording his fourth complete game of the season.

Cardinals 10, Reds 9 at St. Louis (day game):
Overcoming their own defensive lapses, the Cardinals outlasted the Reds, 10-9, in 13 innings, as Terry Kennedy brought the Redbirds from behind with a one-out, two-run double. The Cards trailed, 9-8, going into the bottom of the 13th when Garry Templeton opened with a walk and, one out later, Keith Hernandez singled to bring on Mike LaCoss in place of Paul Moskau on the hill for the Reds. Kennedy hit his first serve to the wall in left-center to chase home the tying and winning runs. The Reds had taken an 8-5 lead in the ninth with a six-run rally but the Cards tied it on a two-out, three-run single by George Hendrick. The Reds went ahead, 9-8, in the top of the 13th with the aid of two St. Louis errors.
