Today's scores and summaries:

Brewers 5, Orioles 0 at Baltimore (night game):
Winning for the 100th time in his major league career, Reggie Cleveland allowed only four hits and pitched the Brewers to a 5-0 victory over the Orioles. Gorman Thomas hit two homers and Don Money one in the Brewers' support of Cleveland, who gained his eighth victory of the season. Robin Yount drove in the two other runs with a bases-loaded single.

Rangers 6, White Sox 4 at Chicago (night game):
Jim Kern pitched 5 2/3 hitless innings and was rewarded with a victory for his superb relief work when the Rangers defeated the White Sox, 6-4. Rusty Staub came through with the game-winning hit, driving in two runs with a single in the eighth inning, to share the laurels with Kern.

[DH] Indians 9, Angels 8 (night game) / Indians 10, Angels 2 at Cleveland (night game):
Taking advantage of an error, the Indians scored three unearned runs in the ninth inning to win the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 9-8, and then completed the sweep by beating the Angels in the second game, 10.2. With Rick Miller driving in four runs, the Angels held an 8-3 lead in the opener before the Indians rallied for three runs in the eighth inning. Then, with two out in the ninth, Jorge Orta and Mike Hargrove walked and Toby Harrah was hit by a pitch. Angels third baseman Carney Lansford booted a grounder by Joe Charboneau as two runs scored and Bo Diaz followed with a single to drive in the winning run. In the nightcap, Charboneau smashed a three-run homer and Rick Manning and Ron Hassey added two-run triples to the Indians' attack. Ross Grimsley, who pitched 5 1/3 innings, received credit for his first victory with the Indians since his acquisition from the Expos on July 11.

A's 5, Tigers 3 at Detroit (night game):
Swinging at a 3-0 pitch, Tony Armas smacked his 23rd homer of the season, connecting with two men on base in the fifth inning, to power the A's to a 5-3 victory over the Tigers. Rick Langford, who was the beneficiary of the blow, turned in his 13th straight complete game and fifth victory in a row.

Royals 6, Yankees 1 at Kansas City (night game):
Clint Hurdle knocked in four runs with an inside-the-park homer and single to lead the Royals' batting behind Rich Gale, who defeated the Yankees, 6-1, for his seventh victory in his last eight decisions. In the second inning, after a single by John Wathan, Hurdle circled the bases on a drive that bounced off the right field wall back toward the infield. His two other RBIs came on a single in the sixth. Reggie Jackson hit a homer for the Yankees' run.

[DH] Red Sox 7, Twins 5 (night game) / Twins 6, Red Sox 0 at Minnesota (night game):
After slugging their way to a 7-5 victory in the opener, the Red Sox were stopped by Geoff Zahn in the nightcap and lost to the Twins, 6-0, to split a twi-night doubleheader. Dwight Evans hit two homers and Tony Perez rapped a homer, double and single for the Red Sox in the first game. The Twins settled the issue quickly in the second game, scoring three runs in the first inning. Rick Sofield and Rob Wilfong hit RBI singles and Butch Wynegar accounted for the third run with a sacrifice fly.

Blue Jays 5, Mariners 3 at Toronto (night game):
Al Woods and Roy Howell hit homers and Alfredo Griffin drove in two runs with a triple and double, batting the Blue Jays to a 5-3 victory over the Mariners. Jim Clancy limited the Mariners to five singles while winning his second straight complete game.

Dodgers 7, Cubs 6 at Los Angeles (night game):
The managerial debut of Joey Amalfitano, replacing Preston Gomez, was spoiled when the Cubs failed to hold a 6-2 lead and lost to the Dodgers, 7-6. The Dodgers rallied to tie the score in the sixth inning, counting twice on five singles and adding two more runs on a pass with the bases loaded and a wild pitch. Then in the ninth, the Dodgers filled the sacks again and Dusty Baker singled to drive in the winning run.

Astros 9, Expos 8 at Montreal (night game):
Sparked by Terry Puhl, who led off the ninth inning with a homer, the Astros rallied for seven runs and defeated the Expos, 9-8. After Puhl's blow, Jose Cruz batted in two runs with a single, Enos Cabell plated a pair with a single and Alan Ashby added two runs with a double to put the Astros ahead, 9-7. That extra run proved decisive, offsetting a homer by Gary Carter in the Expos' half of the ninth.

Mets 2, Reds 0 at New York (night game):
The battery of Pat Zachry and John Stearns proved a winning combination as the Mets defeated the Reds, 2-0. Zachry pitched a shutout on a six-hitter and Stearns batted in both runs with an infield out and a double.

[DH] Phillies 5, Braves 4 (day game) / Braves 3, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (day game):
A pass to Mike Schmidt with the bases loaded in the 12th inning gave the Phillies a 5-4 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader before the Braves came back behind the shutout pitching of Tommy Boggs to take the second game, 3-0. Schmidt hit two homers in the opener, boosting his career total to 261 and making him the Phillies' all-time homer king, surpassing Del Ennis, who had 259. Lonnie Smith also homered for the Phillies, his first in the major leagues, and Bob Horner hit his 14th in the month of July for the Braves. Dick Ruthven worked the entire 12-inning route for the Phillies in the longest stint by any N.L. pitcher this season. Bruce Benedict, forming the battery with Boggs in the second game, helped his pitcher win by driving in two runs with a bases-loaded single.

Cardinals 3, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
Tito Landrum and Keith Hernandez, who had four hits apiece, came through in the clutch as the Cardinals rallied for three runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Padres, 3-2. Ken Oberkfell walked and Landrum, who started in the Cards' outfield for the first time, singled. Hernandez doubled, driving in both runners, and then scored the winning run when Ted Simmons singled.

Pirates 5, Giants 1 at San Francisco (night game):
Bob Knepper, who previously had a 7-1 record at Candlestick Park, was an early kayo victim as the Giants lost to the Pirates, 5-1. Dave Parker, Phil Garner and Steve Nicosia hit run-scoring singles off Knepper in the first inning and Bill Madlock added a tally with a single in the second. Knepper left the game with one out in the third after giving up a total of nine hits.
