Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 5, Angels 2 at Baltimore (night game):
Combining on a six-hitter, Jim Palmer and Tim Stoddard pitched the Orioles to a 5-2 victory over the Angels. The Birds scored three runs in the first inning after the first two hatters were retired as Ken Singleton walked, Eddie Murray singled, Pat Kelly doubled and Terry Crowley singled. Kiko Garcia added a two-run single in the eighth.

A's 11, Red Sox 8 at Boston (night game):
Unleashing a 16-hit bombardment, the A's snapped the Red Sox' six-game winning streak in manufacturing an 11-8 triumph. The A's scored three runs in the first inning on back-to-back triples by Rickey Henderson and Dwayne Murphy, a wild pitch and an RBI single by Mitchell Page. They added two more in the fourth on consecutive two-out singles by Murphy, Dave Revering, Wayne Gross and Tony Armas. Mickey Klutts doubled in runs in the fifth and eighth. Every Oakland starter collected at least one hit.

Indians 5, White Sox 3 at Cleveland (night game):
Wayne Garland hurled his first complete game since June 13, 1979, as the Indians erupted for three runs in the seventh inning to down the White Sox, 5-3. The Tribe trailed, 3-2, when Jorge Orta walked with one out in the seventh and Mike Hargrove lined out. Ed Farmer replaced starter Ross Baumgarten on the mound for the Chisox, walked Joe Charboneau and both runners moved up on a wild pitch. After Toby Harrah walked to load the bases, Cliff Johnson hit a high pop-up that fell for a single when Farmer and catcher Bruce Kimm collided. Farmer left the game with a side injury and Mike Proly took his place. The new pitcher was greeted with a single by Rick Manning that sent home two runs.

[DH] Tigers 6, Brewers 5 (day game) / Brewers 5, Tigers 3 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers and Brewers divided a doubleheader, the Tigers winning the first game, 6-5, and the Brewers capturing the nightcap, 5-3. The Tigers trailed, 5-4, going into the bottom of the ninth inning of the opener, when Kirk Gibson led off with a bunt single and reached second on a sacrifice by Alan Trammell. Steve Kemp grounded out, but Champ Summers followed with a game-tying double. Ricky Peters ran for Summers and scored the winning run on a single by Al Cowens. In the second contest, Reggie Cleveland, making only his second start in three years, pitched three-hit ball for 7 2/3 innings to gain credit for the victory. The Brewers picked up a second-inning run on a sacrifice fly by Sal Bando and another in the third on a sacrifice fly by Sixto Lezcano. Gorman Thomas drilled a leadoff homer in the sixth and Cecil Cooper clouted a two-run round-tripper in the seventh.

Rangers 6, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
The Rangers collected eight singles in a six-run ninth inning to post a 6-3 triumph over the Royals. The Texans scored all their runs after two were out with Richie Zisk, Rusty Staub, Jim Norris, Jim Sundberg, Tucker Ashford and Pat Putnam poking RBI singles. Reliever Bob Babcock received credit for his first major league victory.

Yankees 6, Mariners 3 at New York (night game):
Graig Nettles knocked in three runs to pace the Yankees to a 6-3 decision over the Mariners. The Yanks scored twice in the first inning on walks to Willie Randolph and Joe Lefebvre, a double by Nettles and single by Jim Spencer.

They extended their lead to 2-0 in the third on doubles by Butch Wynegar and Glenn Adams. With two out in the seventh, John Castino singled, raced to third on a single by Wynegar and scored on the front end of a double steal. Rick Sofield then doubled in Wynegar. The Jays' John Mayberry singled in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to 15 games.

Astros 2, Cubs 1 at Chicago (day game):
A bases-loaded walk and wild pitch enabled the Astros to shade the Cubs, 2-1. The Astros trailed, 1-0, with two out in the top of the seventh inning, when Alan Ashby singled and pinch-hitter Bruce Bochy drew a walk. Bill Caudill then relieved Willie Hernandez for the Cubs and issued successive walks to Rafael Landestoy and Terry Puhl to force in a run. Doug Capilla replaced Caudill and uncorked a wild pitch that permitted Jeff Leonard, pinch-running for Bochy, to race across the plate with the winning tally.

Phillies 3, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Phillies outlasted the Dodgers, 3-2, in a 12-inning marathon. The game was tied, 2-2, going into the 12th, when Larry Bowa got a one-out single, reached second on a balk and scored on a double by Manny Trillo.

Pirates 5, Reds 3 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Although needing relief help, Bert Blyleven recorded his 150th career victory as the Pirates posted a 5-3 triumph over the Reds. Tim Foli drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and double. His sacrifice fly capped a three-run second inning that brought the Bucs back from a 1-0 deficit, and he doubled in two runs in the fourth frame.

Padres 3, Mets 2 at San Diego (night game):
The Padres snapped a seven-game losing streak by edging the Mets, 3-2. The game was tied, 2-2, going into the bottom of the eighth inning, when Tim Flannery stroked a leadoff pinch-single. Paul Dade ran for Flannery, reached second on a sacrifice by Gene Richards and scored the winning run on a single by Ozzie Smith.

Giants 5, Expos 1 at San Francisco (night game):
Scattering six hits, Ed Whitson pitched the Giants to a 5-1 triumph over the Expos. The Giants broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning on a double by Larry Herndon, an error by Montreal shortstop Tony Bernazard, single by Darrell Evans and single by Milt May. The final two Frisco markers came in the eighth frame on singles by Jack Clark, Evans and Rich Murray and a sacrifice fly by Rennie Stennett.

Braves 6, Cardinals 3 at St. Louis (night game):
Chris Chambliss put on a one-man show with five RBIs to lead the Braves over the Cardinals, 6-3. The Atlanta first sacker knocked in the Braves' first run with a first-inning single and helped increase the lead to 3-0 with an RBI single in the third. After the Cards tied the score in the fourth, Chambliss blasted a homer in the fifth to score Glenn Hubbard, who had tripled, and Dale Murphy, who had walked. Chambliss also had a double in the seventh.
