Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 3, Orioles 2 at Boston (night game):
Picked off first, Fred Lynn managed to reach second safely with a stolen base, setting up the sixth-inning run that gave the Red Sox a 3-2 victory over the Orioles. Lynn walked, moved up on his baserunning and scored on a single by Butch Hobson to break a 2-2 tie.

Angels 6, Brewers 5 at California (night game):
With two safe bunts as their only hits in the rally, the Angels scored two runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Brewers, 6-5, to end their home losing streak of nine games. The Brewers lost for the ninth straight time in Anaheim Stadium, dating back to 1978, despite two homers each by Gorman Thomas and Ben Oglivie. In the Angels' ninth, Rick Miller walked and Bert Campaneris beat out a bunt. After Bob McClure replaced Bill Castro, Rod Carew also beat out a bunt to extend his batting streak to a career-best 17 games. Don Baylor then walked, forcing in Miller with the tying run, and Jason Thompson followed with a sacrifice fly to score Campaneris with the winning run.

Indians 2, Yankees 0 at New York (night game):
Rick Waits, who was the last Indians pitcher to win in Yankee Stadium, ended his club's six-game losing streak in New York by posting a 2-0 victory. The Indians' last previous victory in Yankee Stadium came on October 1, 1978, when Waits won, 9-2, and forced the Yankees into an East Division playoff with the Red Sox. While Waits was scattering seven hits in his shutout, the Indians won with six hits off Rudy May. In the first inning, a pass to Miguel Dilone, single by Jorge Orta and sacrifice fly by Mike Hargrove produced the initial run. Orta also singled in the sixth and scored on a double by Joe Charboneau.

A's 3, White Sox 1 at Oakland (night game):
The A's scored one run on a double-play grounder with the bases loaded, another on a sacrifice fly with the sacks filled and the final tally on a wild pitch to defeat the White Sox, 3-1. Mario Guerrero hit into the twin killing in the second inning, Tony Armas scoring to tie the game at 1-1. In the fifth after two walks and a bunt single by Rickey Henderson, Jeff Newman hit the deciding sacrifice fly.

Royals 2, Mariners 1 at Seattle (night game):
Frank White homered in the fifth inning and Willie Aikens followed suit in the sixth to enable the Royals to defeat the Mariners, 2-1. Jim Anderson homered with two out in the ninth to account for the M's runs.

Rangers 5, Twins 0 at Texas (night game):
With gametime temperature standing at 109 degrees in a Texas heat wave, Gaylord Perry turned in a cool performance, allowing only four hits while pitching the Rangers to a 5-0 victory over the Twins. The veteran righthander ended a personal five-game losing streak with his first win since May 14. The Rangers started Perry on the road to victory with four runs in the first inning, two scoring on a homer by Pat Putnam. Al Oliver drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and then accounted for the last tally of the game with a circuit clout in the third.

Tigers 7, Blue Jays 2 at Toronto (night game):
Lance Parrish hit a three-run homer and Richie Hebner rapped three singles and drove in two runs as the Tigers defeated the Blue Jays, 7-2, for their eighth straight victory. The Tigers put the game away with five runs in the first inning. A double by Ricky Peters, pass to Steve Kemp, single by Hebner and grounder by Champ Summers, with the batter safe on an error, produced the first two runs before Parrish hit his homer. Hebner added his second RBI with a single in the fifth.

Cardinals 3, Cubs 2 at Chicago (day game):
Garry Templeton tripled in the 12th inning and scored on a single by Keith Hernandez to give the Cardinals a 3-2 victory over the Cubs. Opening the game, Bobby Bonds hit his 35th leadoff homer, extending his own major league record.

Astros 5, Reds 4 at Houston (night game):
Capping a comeback by the Astros, Jose Cruz knocked in two runs with a triple in the eighth inning to beat the Reds, 5-4. The Reds collected six hits and scored all their runs in the first inning. After the Astros picked up a pair in their half of the first and added a run in the seventh, pinch-hitter Rafael Landestoy doubled in the eighth. Denny Walling walked and, with two out, Cruz came through with his game-winning hit.

Pirates 6, Expos 4 at Montreal (night game):
Rallying in the sixth inning, the Pirates scored four runs to defeat the Expos, 6-4, for only their second victory in the last 11 games. Trailing, 4-2, the Pirates loaded the bases against Steve Rogers and scored one run on a wild pitch. John Milner then batted for Enrique Romo and singled to drive in two runs. Omar Moreno followed with a single and when Expos shortstop Chris Speier threw the ball away in handling the relay, Milner came home.

Mets 3, Phillies 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Steve Carlton's eight-game winning streak came to an end when the Phillies' ace southpaw lost to the Mets, 3-2. John Pacella pitched six innings for the Mets and gained his first major league victory with the relief assistance of Tom Hausman. The Mets scored all their runs in the sixth, starting with an inside-the-park homer by Lee Mazzilli on a bloop fly that bounced past Bake McBride in right field. Frank Taveras, John Stearns and Joel Youngblood followed with singles for another run and Alex Trevino hit a sacrifice fly to produce what proved to be the deciding tally. Bob Boone hit a two-run homer for the Phillies in the seventh.

Braves 5, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
Putting together five hits with an error, the Braves scored four runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Padres, 5-3. Dale Murphy doubled, Chris Chambliss beat out a bunt and Gary Matthews singled for the first tally in the rally. Bob Horner followed with a single off the glove of third baseman Tim Flannery and when shortstop Ozzie Smith threw wildly after recovering the ball, Chambliss scored. Two outs later, Luis Gomez singled to drive in Matthews and Horner.

Dodgers 8, Giants 0 at San Francisco (night game):
Jerry Reuss posted the first no-hitter of his career and the first in the major leagues this season, pitching the Dodgers to an 8-0 victory over the Giants. Only one batter reached base against the southpaw, who was deprived of a perfect game when shortstop Bill Russell threw wildly on a grounder by Jack Clark in the first inning.
