Today's scores and summaries:

Royals 8, Orioles 4 at Baltimore (night game):
Pounding out 17 hits, the Royals posted an 8-4 decision over the Orioles. K. C. registered four runs in the fifth inning. Willie Wilson reached first on an error by Mark Belanger and U.L. Washington then followed with a homer. George Brett singled and scored on a double by Hal McRae and, after John Wathan walked, Willie Aikens singled home McRae. The Orioles' Mark Corey connected for his first major league homer with a mate aboard in the eighth.

Tigers 12, Red Sox 4 at Boston (night game):
The Tigers ended their four-game losing skein with a 12-4 rout of the Red Sox. Detroit jumped to a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a two-run homer by Al Cowens and made it 3-0 in the third on an RBI single by Alan Trammell. Lou Whitaker and Tom Brookens stroked run-scoring singles in the fourth and Ricky Peters belted a solo round-tripper in the sixth.

A's 6, Angels 4 at California (night game):
Erupting for four runs in the fifth inning, the A's defeated the Angels, 6-4. The A's were behind, 4-2, when Jeff Newman led off the fifth with a single and Rob Picciolo followed with another single. Jeff Cox sacrificed and pitcher Bruce Kison threw the ball into left field, allowing Newman to score. Rickey Henderson then slammed a three-run homer.

Yankees 7, White Sox 6 at Chicago (night game):
Overcoming a 6-1 deficit, the Yankees edged the White Sox, 7-6. The game was tied, 6-6, when Bob Watson stroked a one-out single in the top of the ninth inning. Reggie Jackson forced Watson but then stole second and raced home on a pinch-single by Jim Spencer. The Bronx Bombers had tied the score in the eighth frame on a two-run pinch-homer by Oscar Gamble.

Mariners 8, Twins 5 at Minnesota (day game):
A five-run outburst in the fifth inning lifted the Mariners to an 8-5 triumph over the Twins, snapping Minnesota's six-game winning streak. The big inning was featured by a two-run double by Bruce Bochte, two-run homer by Dan Meyer and solo round-tripper by Juan Beniquez.

Rangers 4, Indians 2 at Texas (night game):
A three-run outburst in the seventh inning enabled the Rangers to post a 4-2 decision over the Indians. Texas trailed, 2-1, when Buddy Bell, hitting in his 18th straight game, opened the seventh with a single. Richie Zisk drew a walk and a bunt by John Ellis skipped past third baseman Toby Harrah to load the bases. Bell then scored on a groundout by pinch-hitter Billy Sample. After Jim Sundberg popped out, pinch-hitter Rusty Staub drilled a two-run double to left-center.

Brewers 6, Blue Jays 4 at Toronto (night game):
A three-run homer by Robin Yount in the ninth inning gave the Brewers a 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays. The Brewers trailed, 4-3, when Jim Gantner and pinch-hitter Charlie Moore stroked one-out singles in the ninth. Jerry Garvin then replaced Jim Clancy on the hill for the Jays and his first serve was belted by Yount for the circuit. Ben Oglivie blasted a two-run round-tripper in the third and Gorman Thomas clouted a solo blast in the second.

Giants 5, Reds 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
Completing the four-game series sweep, the Giants posted a 5-3 triumph over the Reds. Alan Hargesheimer, making his major league debut, pitched the first five innings and received credit for the victory. Jack Clark clouted a bases-empty homer in the first inning and the Giants added three runs in the fourth on a two-run double by Mike Sadek and run-scoring double by Hargesheimer.

Braves 2, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Two-hit hurling by Phil Niekro carried the Braves to a 2-0 whitewashing of the Astros. Atlanta scored in the fifth inning when Jeff Burroughs reached first base on an error by Enos Cabell, stole second and came home on a double by Bruce Benedict. Bob Horner drilled a solo homer in the seventh. Astros starter J.R. Richard left the game in the fourth because of an upset stomach. [This would be Richard's final major league appearance].

Pirates 13, Phillies 11 at Philadelphia (night game):
In an affair similar to married men playing single men at a company picnic, the Pirates outslugged the Phillies, 13-11, as Dave Parker blasted two homers, the second corning with a mate aboard in the top of the ninth inning that snapped an 11-11 tie. Ten pitchers paraded to the mound and gave up 36 hits as the teams exchanged the lead six times.

Padres 6, Dodgers 3 at San Diego (day game):
Scattering six hits, Steve Mura pitched the Padres to a 6-3 triumph over the Dodgers. The Padres scored in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Mumphrey and added three runs in the second on RBI singles by Mura and Gene Richards and a balk by Rick Sutcliffe. San Diego picked up another pair of tallies in the fifth on an RBI double by Ozzie Smith and run-scoring single by Jerry Turner.
