Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 10, Mariners 4 at Baltimore (night game):
A four-run outburst in the first inning triggered the Orioles to a 10-4 rout of the Mariners. After a leadoff single by Al Bumbry, a stolen base and two-out intentional walk to Eddie Murray, John Lowenstein clouted a three-run homer. Dan Graham then followed with another round-tripper. Jim Palmer, going 8 1/3 innings, picked up his 15th victory of the campaign.

Red Sox 10, Angels 2 at Boston (night game):
The streaking Red Sox won their ninth straight game, defeating the Angels, 10-2. Glenn Hoffman and Rick Burleson smacked consecutive two-run doubles in the fourth inning and a three-run eighth was featured by solo homers by Carlton Fisk and Larry Wolfe. Of the 14 Boston hits, nine were for extra bases.

[DH] Tigers 11, White Sox 2 (night game) / Tigers 6, White Sox 1 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers swept a doubleheader from the White Sox, winning the opener, 11-2, as Mark Fidrych posted his first victory since 1978, and capturing the nightcap, 6-1. Champ Summers started the Tigers' scoring in the first game with a solo homer in the fourth inning. A three-run round-tripper by Alan Trammell highlighted a seven-run fifth. A four-run outburst in the fifth inning carried the Tigers to their second game win. A single by John Wockenfuss accounted for two tallies, the third run registered on a throwing error by Jim Morrison and the final marker resulted from a forceout by Tim Corcoran.

Twins 5, Indians 3 at Minnesota (night game):
A two-run double by Rick Sofield in the sixth inning was the decisive blow as the Twins posted a 5-3 decision over the Indians. Mike Cubbage and John Castino stroked back-to-back singles before Sofield cracked his two-bagger to snap a 3-3 tie.

Yankees 6, A's 1 at New York (night game):
Combining on a six-hitter, Rudy May and Rich Gossage hurled the Yankees to a 6-1 victory over the A's. The Yanks scored in the fourth inning on doubles by Reggie Jackson and Lou Piniella and added a pair in fifth on two walks and run-scoring singles by Oscar Gamble and Piniella. Bobby Brown drilled a two-run homer in the seventh.

Rangers 3, Blue Jays 2 at Texas (night game):
Fergie Jenkins tossed a six-hitter as the Rangers shaded the Blue Jays, 3-2. The Rangers scored twice in the first inning on a hit batsman, singles by Johnny Grubb and Al Oliver and a sacrifice fly by Rusty Staub. After a single by Pat Putnam, double by Jim Sundberg and intentional pass to Dave Roberts loaded the bases in the sixth, Mike Richardt produced the deciding marker with a single to left.

Braves 10, Cubs 5 at Chicago (day game):
Blasting off with four runs in the first inning, the Braves went on to a 10-5 victory over the Cubs. Dale Murphy drilled a three-run triple in the opening frame and Glenn Hubbard followed with a double. Hubbard also stroked a sacrifice fly in the third. Jerry Royster had two triples in the Braves' attack.

Dodgers 6, Mets 5 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Dodgers moved into a first-place tie with the idle Astros in the West Division by edging the Mets, 6-5. A two-run single by Ron Cey put the Dodgers ahead, 3-1, in the fourth inning. Then Dodgers then added their three other tallies in the sixth, with runs scoring on a single by Joe Ferguson, sacrifice bunt by Bill Russell and single by Derrel Thomas.

Expos 2, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Stolen bases keyed the Expos to a 2-1 triumph over the Padres as Charlie Lea and Woodie Fryman combined on a four-hitter. In the fourth inning, Andre Dawson singled, stole second and scored on a double by Ken Macha. In the fifth frame, LeFlore walked, stole second, moved to third on an infield hit by Rodney Scott and came home as Dawson grounded out.

Phillies 2, Giants 1 at San Francisco (night game):
Pushing across a run in the 13th inning, the Phillies downed the Giants, 2-1. Manny Trillo opened the 13th with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice by Larry Bowa and scored on a sacrifice fly by Keith Moreland. After the Phillies scored an unearned run in the top of the ninth, the Giants tied the game in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by Milt May.

Cardinals 12, Reds 4 at St. Louis (night game):
Lashing out 17 hits, the Cardinals routed the Reds, 12-4. Keith Hernandez clouted a two-run homer in the first inning and delivered a sacrifice fly in the sixth, while Ted Simmons tripled home a tally in the third and blasted a three-run double in the eighth. The Cardinals tied the N.L. record for most sacrifice flies in a game with four. The two-team total of five set an N.L. record and tied the major league mark.
