Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Steve Stone tied the Orioles' club record for most games won in one season, beating the Blue Jays, 6-1, for his 24th victory. Both Mike Cuellar and Dave McNally won 24 games in 1970. Mark Belanger batted in two runs with a double and Ken Singleton accounted for a pair with a single when the Orioles scored five times in the fifth inning.

Tigers 13, Indians 3 at Detroit (day game):
Steve Kemp hit a grand-slam homer in the fourth inning and drove in two more runs with a triple in the fifth to lead the Tigers' slugging in a 13-3 victory over the Indians.

A's 9, Royals 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Matt Keough held George Brett hitless in four trips while pitching the A's to a 9-0 victory over the Royals, who absorbed their first shutout since May 6 after scoring in 126 consecutive games. While Bretl's average dropped from .400 to .396, Tony Armas put on a batting show for the A's with two homers and two doubles, driving in five runs.

Brewers 8, Mariners 4 at Milwaukee (night game):
After taking the lead with a two-run homer by Gorman Thomas in the fifth inning, the Brewers scored four more times in the seventh to wrap up an 8-4 victory over the Mariners. The clinching outburst included a two-run pinch-single by Dick Davis. Dave LaPoint, who pitched 6 2/3 innings, gained credit for his first major league victory.

Red Sox 4, Yankees 1 at New York (day game):
Dennis Eckersley scattered seven hits and pitched the Red Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Yankees, whose lead over the Orioles in the East Division was cut to four games. Chico Walker drove in a run in each of the first two innings when the Red Sox did their scoring. The rookie designated hitter accounted for a tally with a sacrifice fly in the first and added an RBI with a single in the second.

Angels 6, Rangers 4 at Texas (night game):
Gil Kubski, who drove in a run with a single in a ninth-inning rally that tied the score, came through with the tie-breaking single in the 10th when the Angels counted twice to defeat the Rangers, 6-4. After Kubski's single in the ninth, pinch-hitter Rick Miller drove in two runs with a single to knot the count. Then in 10th, Bobby Grich drew a walk and moved to second on a passed ball. After an intentional pass to Rod Carew, Kubski snapped the tie with a single. Carney Lansford followed with a double for his fourth hit of the game to drive in Carew with an insurance run.

Phillies 7, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
A three-run homer by Mike Schmidt in the first inning started the Phillies off to a 7-3 victory over the Cubs. Schmidt's smash followed a double by Pete Rose and pass to Bake McBride. Garry Maddox also homered for the Phillies, connecting with the bases empty, while Dave Kingman had a two-run blow for the Cubs in the fourth to snap a string of 20 consecutive innings of scoreless pitching by Phillies rookie Marty Bystrom.

Reds 10, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Reds exploded for seven runs in the first inning and breezed to a 10-2 victory over the Dodgers, who were knocked back into a tie with the Astros for first place in the West Division. Burt Hooton, who started, lasted just one-third of the way into the first inning and seven of the eight batters whom he faced scored. Johnny Bench batted in two runs with a bases-loaded single.

Mets 9, Pirates 6 at Pittsburgh (night game):
With two out in the 11th inning, the Mets erupted for three runs and defeated the Pirates, 9-6. The Pirates trailed, 6-3, going into the eighth but pulled close with a two-run homer by Bill Madlock and then tied the score in the ninth on a pinch-single by Bill Robinson, stolen base by pinch-runner Matt Alexander and single by Omar Moreno. However in 11th, Mookie Wilson tripled with two away and, after passes to Wally Backman and Lee Mazzilli loaded the bases, Elliott Maddox hit a grounder that took a bad hop over the head of second baseman Phil Garner as two runs scored. Steve Henderson followed with a single to drive in an extra tally.

Padres 3, Braves 2 at San Diego (night game):
Pinch-runner Paul Dade, who took the paths after Gene Tenace walked, stole second with two out in the 11th inning and scored on a single by pinch-hitter Craig Stimac to bring the Padres a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Dave Winfield drove in both of the Padres' previous runs with a pair of singles, while the Braves bunched four hits for their runs in the eighth inning.

Astros 3, Giants 2 at San Francisco (day game):
A pinch-double by Jeff Leonard in the ninth inning drove in Scott Loucks and gave the Astros a 3-2 victory over the Giants. Loucks ran for Luis Pujols, who drew a walk to open the stanza. Rafael Landestoy sacrificed before Leonard delivered the deciding double.

Expos 5, Cardinals 4 at St. Louis (day game):
Bill Lee turned in four innings of hitless relief and was the winner when the Expos defeated the Cardinals, 5-4, to retain their lead of 1½ games over the Phillies in the East Division race. Pinch-hitter John Tamargo knocked in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the sixth inning to lift the Expos into a 4-4 tie. In the ninth, Andre Dawson singled and was forced on an attempted sacrifice bunt by Rowland Office, but Gary Carter singled and, after Jim Kaat took the mound for the Cards, Warren Cromartie singled to drive in the winning run.
