Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 8, A's 7 at Baltimore (night game):
A double by Ken Singleton, scoring Al Bumbry from first base, climaxed a three-run rally in the ninth inning and enabled the Orioles to defeat the A's, 8-7. Doug DeCinces ignited the Orioles' rally with a single. John Lowenstein walked and Bumbry was safe on an error by Mike Edwards, DeCinces scoring. Rich Dauer followed with a sacrifice fly, Lowenstein scoring, before Singleton won game with his double.

Mariners 4, Red Sox 2 at Boston (night game):
A triple by Leon Roberts and doubles by Marc Hill and Julio Cruz highlighted the Mariners' scoring in the fourth inning of a 4-2 victory over the Red Sox. Tom Paciorek, who led off with a single, crossed the plate on Roberts' triple. After the next two batters were retired, Mario Mendoza singled to drive in Roberts. Mendoza then scored on a double by Hill, who also came home on Cruz' two-bagger.

Royals 2, Indians 1 at Cleveland (night game):
George Brett had one hit in four trips, dropping his average to .399, but the Royals defeated the Indians, 2-1. Paul Splittorff, who pitched a four-hitter, gave up the Indians' run in fourth inning, but the Royals came right back with their two tallies in the fifth on a pass to Jose Cardenal, triple by Frank White and single by Willie Wilson.

Tigers 1, Twins 0 at Detroit (night game):
A grounder by Champ Summers in the first inning scored Alan Trammell and decided a five-hit duel between Dan Schatzeder and Roger Erickson, giving the Tigers a 1-0 victory over the Twins. Ricky Peters led off with a single and took third on a single by Trammell. Steve Kemp grounded to first baseman Ron Jackson and Peters was retired in a rundown between third and home, but Trammell advanced to third and Kemp to second on the play. Summers' grounder to shortstop Roy Smalley then plated the game's lone run.

Rangers 6, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (night game):
Jim Sundberg collected three hits and drove in three runs, leading the Rangers to a 6-5 victory and snapping a five-game winning streak by the Brewers. Sundberg homered in the second inning for the Rangers' first run, doubled and scored in the sixth and then had the decisive hit in the seventh, driving in two runs with a bases-loaded single, putting the Rangers ahead, 6-1. The Brewers rallied in their half of the seventh but fell short with four runs, including homers by Cecil Cooper and Ben Oglivie.

Yankees 6, Angels 5 at New York (night game):
Rick Cerone tripled with one out in the 10th inning, setting up the run that brought the Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Angels, extending their winning streak to five games. After Cerone's three-bagger, the Angels walked Eric Soderholm and Aurelio Rodriguez intentionally. That strategy seemed likely a success when Bobby Brown struck out, but Willie Randolph beat out a slow roller to second baseman Bobby Grich, allowing Cerone to score. The Angels had homers by Rick Miller and Larry Harlow and led, 5-2, before an error by Carney Lansford and passed ball by Dave Skaggs enabled the Yankees to score the tying three runs in the seventh.

White Sox 3, Blue Jays 0 at Toronto (night game):
Lamarr Hoyt allowed only two hits and posted his first major league shutout, pitching the White Sox to a 3-0 victory over the Blue Jays. The White Sox scored on a walk to Chet Lemon and singles by Mike Squires and Lamar Johnson in the first inning and then added two unearned runs in the fifth.

Braves 7, Pirates 4 at Atlanta (night game):
In a gambling move, Manager Bobby Cox sent Jeff Burroughs to bat for Chris Chambliss in the eighth inning and the pinch-hitter came through with a three-run homer to give the Braves a 7-4 victory over the Pirates. Biff Pocoroba, also pinch-hitting, led off the stanza with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Gary Cooper. After a single by Gary Matthews and Bob Horner's forceout of Matthews, Burroughs greeted Pirate reliever Grant Jackson with his third pinch-homer of the season to bring the Braves their fifth straight victory.

Reds 5, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
Tom Seaver struck out 10 batters for his season's high in 8 2/3 innings as the Reds defeated the Cubs, 5-3. Seaver gave up eight hits, including a two-run homer by Jerry Martin. Mario Soto put down a Cubs' threat in the ninth by retiring the last batter. Dave Concepcion had four of the Reds' 12 hits and Johnny Bench drove in two runs with a homer and sacrifice fly. With the score tied, 3-3, Ray Knight singled in the seventh and was forced by Ron Oester, who scored the deciding run on a sacrifice bunt by Seaver and single by Dave Collins.

Cardinals 7, Astros 5 at Houston (night game):
A pinch-double by Mike Ramsey drove in two runs in the ninth inning and gave the Cardinals a 7-5 victory over the Astros. The Cardinals called on 20 players and the Astros on 17 in the 3-hour, 15-minute contest. In the Cards' ninth, George Hendrick singled and Tito Landrum walked with two out before Ramsey batted for winner Kim Seaman, the fifth of six Cardinal pitchers, and hit his double to beat Joe Sambito, who was the fourth hurler employed by the Astros.

Dodgers 1, Phillies 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Ron Cey tagged Steve Carlton for a homer in the second inning and that was enough to give the Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the Phillies. Don Sutton pitched the first eight innings, allowed only three hits and struck out 10, a season high for the Dodgers' staff. Don Stanhouse relieved in the ninth and set down the Phillies in order.

Padres 4, Mets 2 at San Diego (night game):
The Mets collected only four hits off Juan Eichelberger and lost to the Padres, 4-2, for their seventh straight defeat. Gary Lucas pitched the last 2 2/3 innings for the Padres and held the Mets hitless. Gene Tenace batted in the Padres' first run with a single in the first inning and added another with a sacrifice fly in the third when the Padres also scored on a triple by Barry Evans.

Expos 8, Giants 0 at San Francisco (night game):
Allowing only two hits, Steve Rogers pitched the Expos to an 8-0 victory over the Giants. Warren Cromartie had a perfect night at bat for the Expos with a homer, double and two singles. Cromartie's circuit clout produced two of the Expos' five runs in the second inning. Rowland Office also accounted for two with a single.
