Royals 2, White Sox 1 at Kansas City (night game):
A single by Frank White in the seventh inning drove home the decisive run as the Royals edged the White Sox, 2-1.

[DH] Twins 8, Orioles 7 (night game) / Orioles 12, Twins 5 at Minnesota (night game):
The Orioles and Twins split a doubleheader, the Twins winning the opener, 8-7, in 11 innings, and the Orioles taking the nightcap, 12-5, as Steve Stone received credit for his 13th straight victory. In the first game, the score was 7-7 when John Castino led off the bottom of the 11th with a single and reached third on a one-out single by Butch Wynegar. After Dave Edwards flied out, Pete Mackanin laced a single off third baseman Doug DeCinces' glove to plate the winning tally. In the second contest, Dan Graham drove in six runs, including a bases-loaded homer in a five-run fourth inning.

The game was tied, 3-3, in the seventh, when Ken Griffey drilled a one-out double and Bench slammed his two-bagger to produce the go-ahead run. The game then was delayed by rain for 56 minutes and, when play was resumed, Dan Driessen singled home Bench.

Astros 3, Mets 2 at Houston (night game):
A single by Terry Puhl in the bottom of the ninth inning drove home the winning run as the Astros shaded the Mets, 3-2. The game was tied, 2-2, when Alan Ashby drew a one-out walk and reached third on a single by Craig Reynolds.
