Angels 4, Royals 3 at California (night game):
The Angels outlasted the Royals, 4-3, as K.C. played its third straight game without George Brett, sidelined by a hand injury. The Angels scored in the first inning when Dickie Thon doubled, moved to third on a groundout and came in on an RBI groundout by Carney Lansford.

Red Sox 4, Indians 3 at Cleveland (night game):
Pushing across a run in the top of the ninth inning, the Red Sox shaded the Indians, 4-3. The score was 3-3 in the ninth when Jim Dwyer drew a one-out walk and took second on a sacrifice by Glenn Hoffman. Garry Hancock's ground single to right plated the winning tally.

Orioles 2, Tigers 0 at Detroit (night game):
The Orioles moved within three games of New York in the A.L. East by blanking the Tigers, 2-0, on a three-hitter by Scott McGregor.

A two-run homer by John Mayberry in a four-run third inning spurred the Blue Jays to a 6-4 triumph over the Yankees, ending the Yanks' eight-game winning streak. The Jays trailed, 2-1, when Garth Iorg singled to open the botton of the fourth and, one out later, Mayberry drilled his round-tripper.

Expos 3, Mets 0 at Montreal (night game):
In the first game of a doubleheader that was delayed three hours and 48 minutes at the start because of rain, Steve Rogers hurled a three-hitter as the Expos blanked the Mets, 3-0.

The game was tied, 4-4, when Garry Maddox began the bottom of the 14th with a double and reached third as Larry Bowa grounded out. Bob Boone then laid down a squeeze bunt that pitcher Mark Lee fielded and threw past catcher Ed Ott as Maddox scored. The Phillies had tied the contest in the eighth on an RBI triple by Mike Schmidt and run-scoring single by Greg Luzinski.

Padres 12, Giants 5 at San Diego (night game):
Two homers by Gene Tenace and one by Randy Bass led the Padres to a 12-5 rout of the Giants. Tenace and Bass connected for two-run shots in the first inning. Tenace's second round-tripper came with the bases empty in the sixth. The Giants employed seven pitchers.

Cardinals 6, Cubs 4 at St. Louis (night game):
