Jim Rice led off the 10th inning with his second homer of the game to beat the A's, 7-6, and extend the winning streak of the Red Sox to six games.

Rangers 7, Royals 5 at Kansas City (day game):
Mickey Rivers singled in two unearned runs in the 11th inning to give the Rangers a 7-5 victory over the Royals, who lost although George Brett rapped three singles in six trips to raise his average to .406.

Jim Sundberg then bunted and when Royals catcher Darrell Porter threw wild, Roberts wound up at third and Sundberg took second. The next two batters were retired before Rivers came through with his single.

Yankees 9, Mariners 3 at New York (night game):
Making his 600th start, Perry gained the 287th victory of his major league career, good for 14th place on the all-time list, as the Yankees defeated the Mariners, 9-3.

Aurelio Rodriguez knocked in two, and two others scored on wild pitches.

With principal batting support from George Foster, who went 3-for-5, Tom Seaver pitched the Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Pirates, who lost their sixth straight game. Foster doubled in one of the Reds' two runs in the first inning and then homered in the sixth. Seaver came to the plate later in the sixth and batted in two runs with a double to provide his own deciding margin.

[DH] Phillies 6, Padres 1 (night game) / Padres 5, Phillies 1 at San Diego (night game):
Dick Ruthven, who helped ice his decision with a two-run double, pitched the Phillies to a 6-1 victory in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader before the Padres came back to win the second game, 5-1.

Bob Boone walked with the bases loaded to force in the first tally, Ruthven followed with his double and Pete Rose added a run with an infield out. In the nightcap, Broaderick Perkins rapped three straight run-scoring singles to pace the Padres' support of John Curtis, who pitched a four-hitter.

Mets 9, Giants 5 at San Francisco (day game):
Alex Trevino, Frank Taveras and Claudell Washington each drove in two of the Mets' seven runs in a sixth-inning outburst that beat the Giants, 9-5. Trevino accounted for his RBIs with a bases-loaded single. After two walks forced in another tally, Taveras hit a two-run single and Washington capped the inning with a two-run double.

Cardinals 5, Braves 3 at St. Louis (night game):
Don Hood, who came from the A.L., where he didn't bat because of the designated-hitter rule, drove in the first run of his major league career to mark the Cardinals' 5-3 victory over the Braves. Hood singled with two out in the fourth inning, scoring Dane Iorg. Ken Oberkfell then doubled, Hood stopping at third, and Tony Scott followed with a single to drive in both runners.
