Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 12, Royals 4 at Boston (night game):
The five-hit pitching of John Tudor was backed by a 13-hit attack as the Red Sox thrashed the Royals, 12-4. The Sox took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on a run-scoring double by Dave Stapleton and registered four tallies in the fourth on a two-run single by Jim Dwyer and two-run pinch-double by Butch Hobson. Stapleton cracked a leadoff homer in the fifth and Dwight Evans and Rick Burleson lashed two-run doubles in the same frame.

Indians 5, Angels 3 at California (night game):
Len Barker spaced six hits in a route-going performance, pitching the Indians to a 5-3 victory over the Angels. The Tribe scored in the first inning when Miguel Dilone singled, stole second and came home on a triple by Jorge Orta. Dilone smacked a two-bagger in the fifth and tallied on a single by Toby Harrah. Gary Gray connected for a homer in the sixth and Ron Hassey doubled home two runs in the seventh.

Orioles 1, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
Completing the three-game series sweep, the Orioles shaded the Brewers, 1-0, as a second-inning homer by Doug DeCinces supplied the lone run of the game. The only other hit off loser Bill Travers was a single by Kiko Garcia in the fifth. Dennis Martinez, making his first start for the Orioles since May 8 after having been on the disabled list, went 8 2/3 innings and yielded five hits. Tippy Martinez came on to record the final out.

Yankees 10, Twins 3 at New York (night game):
Tommy John picked up his 14th victory as the Yankees routed the Twins, 10-3. The Yanks got their southpaw all the runs he needed in the second inning when they batted around and scored four times as Bucky Dent and Fred Stanley delivered RBI singles and Lou Piniella hit a two-run single. Reggie Jackson blasted a homer in the third and Ruppert Jones followed suit in the fourth. The Yankees added four runs in the sixth with Oscar Gamble capping the frame with a two-run single.

A's 5, Tigers 2 at Oakland (day game):
Pitching a six-hitter for his 15th complete game, Matt Keough hurled the A's to a 5-2 victory over the Tigers.

Tony Armas drilled a two-run homer in the first and another two-run homer in the eighth.

Mariners 5, Blue Jays 3 at Seattle (night game):
Tom Paciorek broke a 3-3 tie with a two-run homer in the seventh inning, lifting the Mariners to a 5-3 victory over the Blue Jays. After the Jays tied the game in the top of the seventh on a homer by Otto Velez and run-scoring singles by Barry Bonnell and Bob Davis, Paciorek blasted his round-tripper in the bottom of the frame after a one-out single by Willie Horton.

Rangers 3, White Sox 2 at Texas (night game):
A two-out single by Richie Zisk in the ninth inning drove home the winning run as the Rangers edged the White Sox, 3-2. With nobody on base and two out in the ninth, Bump Wills singled and stole second. Buddy Bell, who earlier had extended his hitting streak to 21 games, was intentionally walked. Ed Farmer relieved Mike Proly on the hill for the White Sox and Zisk greeted the new pitcher with a line drive up the middle as Wills raced home with the decisive marker.

Mets 6, Braves 0 at Atlanta (night game):
Rookies John Pacella and Jeff Reardon combined on a six-hitter and Elliott Maddox drove in three runs as the Mets defeated the Braves, 6-0. The Mets took a 4-0 lead in the first inning on run-scoring singles by Claudell Washington, Steve Henderson and Maddox and a groundout by Mike Jorgensen. Maddox drilled a two-run double in the third.

Dodgers 3, Cubs 1 at Chicago (day game):
Yielding only three hits, Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers to a 3-1 decision over the Cubs. The Dodgers scored twice in their first turn at bat.

A pass to Joe Ferguson, sacrifice by Sutton and single by Lopes added a tally in the fourth.

In the fifth, LeFlore batted in a run with a triple and scored on a single by Rodney Scott. Gary Carter blasted a homer in the sixth and Scott doubled home LeFlore in the seventh.

Phillies 2, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
Posting his 15th victory, Steve Carlton scattered seven hits in pitching the Phillies to a 2-1 triumph over the Astros. The ace lefty lost his shutout on a single by Luis Pujols and triple by Rafael Landestoy with two out in the ninth inning. The Phils scored their first run in the fourth when Bake McBride singled, stole second and came home on two wild pitches. The deciding run followed in the sixth when McBride stroked a leadoff single, stole second, moved to third on a single by Garry Maddox and scored on Bob Boone's grounder to shortstop.

Pirates 3, Giants 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Pushing across a run in the ninth inning, the Pirates edged the Giants, 3-2. After the Giants tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the ninth on a two-run homer by Darrell, Evans, Phil Garner led off the bottom of the frame with a walk, advanced to second on a balk by Al Holland, reached third on an infield out and, after Mike Easler was intentionally passed, came home on a single by Omar Moreno.

Cardinals 15, Padres 3 at St. Louis (night game):
Exploding for 10 runs in the third inning, the Cardinals drubbed the Padres, 15-3, completing the three-game series sweep. George Hendrick had two hits and drove in two runs in the big frame.
