Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 4, Brewers 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Steve Stone gained his 14th straight victory and eighth with the relief assistance of Tim Stoddard when the Orioles defeated the Brewers, 4-1. All runs in the game came on homers. The Orioles had a two-run smash by Benny Ayala and solo shots by Doug DeCinces and Rick Dempsey, while Paul Molitor homered for the Brewers.

[DH] White Sox 4, Rangers 3 (night game) / Rangers 1, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
Making his first major league start, Lamarr Hoyt came out a winner when Harold Baines hit a homer in the ninth inning to break a tie and give the White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Rangers in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. Ricky Seilheimer had knotted the count, hitting his first major league homer in the seventh. The second game ended in a 1-1 tie when rain forced the stoppage of play in the sixth inning.

Indians 14, Angels 4 at Cleveland (day game):
Joe Charboneau and Ron Hassey batted in seven runs between them as the Indians trounced the Angels, 14-4, for their fifth straight victory. Charboneau knocked in two runs with a triple in the first inning and Hassey followed with a homer.

Tigers 7, A's 0 at Detroit (day game):
Dan Schatzeder, obtained from the Expos in a winter deal, recorded his first A.L. shutout, pitching the Tigers to a 7-0 victory over the A's. Tom Brookens, breaking an 0-for-21 slump, drove in a run with a double in the second inning and added an RBI with a grounder in the sixth. Al Cowens produced two runs with a single in the seventh.

Yankees 5, Royals 4 at Kansas City (night game):
Homers by Bob Watson, Ruppert Jones and Reggie Jackson powered the Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Royals. Watson connected in the fourth inning, Jones' jolt with a man on base in the seventh put the Yankees ahead, 4-3, and Jackson then provided the deciding run with his smash in the eighth. The Royals fell short with a homer by John Wathan in their half of the eighth.

Red Sox 5, Twins 1 at Minnesota (day game):
Dennis Eckersley allowed only four hits and pitched the Red Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Twins. The Red Sox scored two of their runs in the second inning when Carlton Fisk tripled, Garry Hancock hit a sacrifice fly, Carl Yastrzemski doubled and Dwight Evans singled. Yastrzemski capped the Red Sox scoring with a homer in the eighth.

[DH] Mariners 7, Blue Jays 2 (night game) / Blue Jays 7, Mariners 5 at Toronto (night game):
The Mariners snapped Dave Stieb's 23-inning scoreless pitching streak and the won opener of a twi-night doubleheader, 7-2, but the Blue Jays came back to triumph in the nightcap, 7-5. Stieb's streak ended in the second inning of the lidlifter when Julio Cruz drew a pass with the bases loaded and Larry Milbourne followed with a two-run single. The M's scored their four other runs, two on a homer by Willie Horton in the fifth. In the nightcap, John Mayberry belted a three-run homer for the Blue Jays and Al Woods had four hits.

Cubs 5, Dodgers 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Cubs gave new manager Joey Amalfitano his first victory, defeating the Dodgers, 5-3. Lynn McGlothen, who helped himself with a run-scoring single in the third, pitched 8 2/3 innings before Amalfitano called on Bruce Sutter in relief. Sutter gained his 21st save, but with some difficulty, giving up a pair of run-scoring hits before recording the third out to end the game.

Expos 2, Astros 1 at Montreal (night game):
Larry Parrish walked with the bases loaded and two out in the 12th inning to enable the Expos to defeat the Astros, 2-1. Tim Raines, playing only his second game since being recalled from Denver (American Association), drew a pass to open the stanza and Andre Dawson beat out an infield hit. Two outs later Gary Carter walked to load the bases. Parrish then worked the count to 3-and-2 against Frank LaCorte before ball four forced in a run to end the Expos' three-game losing streak.

Reds 5, Mets 1 at New York (day game):
Starting for the first time since May 3, Bill Bonham, who had been on the disabled list, pitched five innings, allowed only one run and received credit for the Reds' 5-1 victory over the Mets. Tom Hume hurled the last four frames. George Foster had three of the Reds' hits and drove in three runs.

Phillies 6, Braves 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
Manny Trillo drove in three runs with a pair of doubles and Bob Boone hit a homer to lead the Phillies' attack in a 6-3 victory over the Braves. With relief assistance from Ron Reed, Bob Walk picked up the decision to bring his record to 7-1.

Padres 4, Cardinals 3 at San Diego (night game):
The Padres walked all over the Cardinals' five-game winning streak, scoring on a pass with the bases loaded in the 11th inning to gain a 4-3 victory. Jerry Mumphrey singled to open the frame and Jerry Turner sacrificed. Willie Montanez beat out an infield hit, sending Mumphrey to third. John Urrea relieved Don Hood and passed Gene Tenace intentionally before walking Paul Dade to force in the Padres' winning run.

Giants 4, Pirates 3 at San Francisco (day game):
The Pirates failed to score after Phil Garner tripled with none out in the top half of the 10th inning, but the Giants scored on a triple by Jack Clark in their half and posted a 4-3 victory. Garner was stranded at third when Greg Minton retired the next three Pirate batters. In the Giants' half, Joe Strain singled with one away and scored the winning run on Clark's triple.
