Today's scores and summaries:

Mariners 7, Orioles 5 at Baltimore (day game):
A two-run triple by Larry Milbourne in the ninth inning lifted the Mariners to a 7-5 triumph over the Orioles. The game was tied, 5-5, when Jim Anderson walked and Mario Mendoza singled. Two outs later, Milbourne lashed the decisive blow.

Red Sox 6, Angels 3 at Boston (day game):
Although needing relief help, Mike Torrez recorded his 150th career victory as the Red Sox posted a 6-3 decision over the Angels. The score was 2-2 in the third inning when Tony Perez put the Sox ahead to stay with a two-run homer. Dave Rader also hit a homer for the Red Sox, his first in the A.L.

[DH] Tigers 7, White Sox 1 (day game) / Tigers 6, White Sox 4 at Chicago (day game):
The Tigers swept a doubleheader from the White Sox, winning the opener, 7-1, and capturing the nightcap, 6-4. In the first game, the Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Chicago left fielder Thad Bosley misplayed Duffy Dyer's fly for a two-base error with two runners aboard. In a three-run third, Lance Parrish stroked an RBI single, Tom Brookens drilled a run-scoring double and jim Lentine executed a squeeze bunt. The White Sox turned in the second triple play in the majors this season on a controversial play in the eighth inning. Lentine led off the frame with a double and went to third on a single by Lou Whitaker. Dyer then lifted a fly to right fielder Harold Baines. The ball fell out of Baines' glove, but the ump ruled the ball had been caught. It was picked up by second baseman Jim Morrison, who threw to first baseman Mike Squires to nail Whitaker. Squires then threw to third baseman Greg Pryor for the third out. Detroit Manager Sparky Anderson claimed the ball was trapped by Baines. In the second game, White Sox errors contributed to their demise. Two errors and a walk loaded the bases for the Tigers in the first inning and a sacrifice fly by Brookens and two-run double by Richie Hebner made it a three-run frame. Lentine blooped a two-run double in the eighth following a walk and error.

Royals 7, Brewers 4 at Kansas City (day game):
Homers by U.L. Washington, Amos Otis and Willie Aikens powered the Royals to a 7-4 victory over the Brewers. Trailing, 3-0, the Royals tied the score in the second inning on solo homers by Otis and Aikens and an RBI single by Frank White. Washington clouted a two-run homer in the fifth to snap the tie and White collected a run-scoring single in the sixth.

Indians 11, Twins 6 at Minnesota (day game):
Pounding out 19 hits, the Indians outslugged the Twins, 11-6. The Tribe posted three runs in the third inning, two on a double by Jack Brohamer and the other on a single by Rick Manning. Dell Alston stroked a run-scoring single in the fourth and tripled home two runs in the sixth. Mike Hargrove followed with a single to score Alston, and Joe Charboneau then capped the five-run inning with a homer.

A's 5, Yankees 2 at New York (day game):
Scattering 10 hits, Matt Keough pitched the A's to a 5-2 victory, ending the Yankees' nine-game winning streak. The A's jumped on top in their first turn at bat on a two-out single by Mike Heath and homer by Jeff Newman. Another tally followed in the fourth on a double by Tony Armas, fly out by Mickey Klutts and throwing error by left fielder Joe Lefebvre. A sacrifice fly by Dwayne Murphy produced a run in the seventh and Armas concluded the A's scoring with a solo homer in the eighth.

Blue Jays 6, Rangers 5 at Texas (night game):
Pushing a run across in the 10th inning, the Blue Jays edged the Rangers, 6-5. After the Jays had tied the contest in the ninth on a two-out RBI single by Alfredo Griffin, Roy Howell opened the 10th with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice by John Mayberry. Otto Velez was walked intentionally and Al Woods walked to load the bases. Lloyd Moseby then hit a sacrifice fly to deep center to plate Howell with the winning marker.

Cubs 3, Braves 2 at Atlanta (night game):
Homers by Jerry Martin and Bill Buckner lifted the Cubs to a 3-2 victory over the Braves. The Cubs trailed, 2-1, when Buckner drilled a leadoff round-tripper in the sixth inning to tie the score. One out later, Martin hit a 2-2 pitch over the left field fence. Braves' tallies came on a homer by Jeff Burroughs in the fourth. Ivan DeJesus drilled an RBI double for the Cubs in the fifth.

Cardinals 12, Reds 2 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Cardinals enjoyed a 12-2 rout of the Reds behind a 15-hit attack and the four-hit pitching of Pete Vuckovich. The Redbirds took a 3-2 lead in the fourth inning on RBI singles by Ted Simmons and George Hendrick and RBI double by Ken Reitz. They scored six times in the sixth on a two-run single by Garry Templeton, three-run homer by Keith Hernandez and sacrifice fly by Reitz.

Pirates 2, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
Four-hit pitching by Jim Bibby carried the Pirates to a 2-1 triumph, snapping the Astros' five-game winning streak and ending the Bucs' six-game losing skein. The Pirates scored in the first inning when Omar Moreno singled, stole second, advanced to third on a sacrifice by Phil Garner and came home on an infield hit by Bill Madlock. John Milner blasted the game-deciding homer in the sixth. Terry Puhl accounted for the Astros' tally with a solo clout in the bottom of the frame.

Mets 9, Dodgers 6 at Los Angeles (day game):
Claudell Washington, only 1-for-17 since being acquired from the White Sox, hit three homers and a single, enabling the Mets to break their seven-game losing streak with a 9-6 triumph over the Dodgers. Washington clouted two-run blasts in the first and fifth innings and a solo smash in the seventh. The Mets used four pitchers to hold off the Dodgers, with Neil Allen earning his 11th save.

Expos 2, Padres 0 at San Diego (day game):
Steve Rogers posted his 23rd career shutout and sixth complete game of the season as the Expos prevailed over the Padres, 2-0. The Expos scored their initial run in the sixth inning on doubles by Tony Bernazard and Warren Cromartie. Bob Pate stroked an RBI single in the eighth.

Steve Carlton scattered eight hits in outdueling Vida Blue to gain his 13th victory -- tops in the majors -- as the Phillies shaded the Giants, 4-3. The Phillies trailed, 3-2, going into the seventh inning, when Lonnie Smith led off with a single, stole second and scored on a triple by Mike Schmidt. Greg Luzinski then hit a sacrifice fly.
