Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 8, Orioles 6 at Baltimore (night game):
Exploding for six runs in the second inning, the White Sox outlasted the Orioles, 8-6. After the Birds took a 1-0 lead in the first frame on an RBI groundout by John Lowenstein, the Sox pounded Steve Stone for six straight hits -- five coming after a 63-minute rain delay -- with Bill Almon driving in one run, Tony Bernazard contributing a two-run double and Wayne Nordhagen and Lamar Johnson delivering run-scoring singles. The final tally of the outburst came on a wild pitch. Ken Singleton extended his hitting streak to 10-for-10 before grounding into a double play in the fifth inning.

Yankees 4, Tigers 1 at Detroit (night game):
A three-run homer by Willie Randolph snapped a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning, carrying the Yankees to a 4-1 victory over the Tigers as Tommy John went the route on a six-hitter. Randolph's blow came with two out after walks to Graig Nettles and Bucky Dent. Barry Foote homered in the third inning in his first at-bat as a Yankee.

Blue Jays 6, Brewers 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Erupting for four runs in the sixth inning, the Blue Jays took a 6-2 triumph over the Brewers. The score was 2-2 when Damaso Garcia began the sixth stanza with a triple. After Otto Velez drew a one-out walk, a single by Barry Bonnell scored Garcia. Ken Macha then doubled to left-center field, chasing home Velez and Bonnell. Alfredo Griffin capped the rally with a two-bagger that plated Macha.

Twins 4, Mariners 1 at Minnesota (day game):
Recording his first complete game of the season, Pete Redfern fired a five-hitter in pitching the Twins to a 4-1 decision over the Mariners. The Twins tallied twice in the first inning on run-scoring singles by Roy Smalley and Rick Sofield, and extended the margin to 3-0 in the fourth on an RBI single by Rob Wilfong. The final Twins marker came in the seventh frame when John Castino drilled his second triple of the game and scored on a single by Mickey Hatcher. The Mariners' lone run was fifth-inning homer by Richie Zisk, his fifth round-tripper in the last five games, one shy of the league record.

Angels 3, A's 1 at Oakland (night game):
Making his first start of the season, Steve Renko got effective relief help and received credit for the victory as the Angels defeated the A's, 3-1. California scored in the third inning on a walk to Rod Carew, single by Rick Burleson and run-scoring single by Fred Lynn. Bobby Grich drilled a solo homer in the fourth and a double by Bert Campaneris and RBI single by Carew accounted for the final Angels' tally in the ninth.

Rangers 9, Red Sox 0 at Texas (night game):
Three pitchers combined to record Texas' second straight shutout as the Rangers pounded the Red Sox, 9-0. The game was tied, 0-0, when the Rangers loaded the bases in the fourth inning as Mickey Rivers singled, Al Oliver was hit by a pitch and Bubby Bell got an infield hit. A sacrifice fly by Johnny Grubb produced the first run and Pat Putnam then clouted a three-run homer. The Rangers added three runs in the sixth on a two-run single by Mario Mendoza and a single by Bump Wills that was booted by center fielder Rick Miller.

Astros 2, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
Don Sutton gained his first victory in a Houston uniform after three losses, combining on a three-hitter with Dave Smith to hurl the Astros to a 2-1 triumph over the Braves. The Astros scored in the second inning on a leadoff double by Jose Cruz and a two-out, run-scoring single by Alan Ashby, and scored again in the fourth on a solo homer by Cruz, who was hitting only .180 entering the contest.

Reds 11, Padres 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Sending 13 batters to the plate and scoring eight runs in the fifth inning, the Reds romped over the Padres, 11-2. A run-scoring double by Dan Driessen produced the first run in the fifth. The others came in on a hit batsman with the bases loaded, an RBI single by Ron Oester, two-run error by San Diego third baseman Luis Salazar, run-scoring single by Ken Griffey, sacrifice fly by Dave Concepcion and a wild pitch. Tom Seaver scattered eight hits in going the distance.

Giants 6, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Pitching hitless ball for 6 1/3 innings and settling for a three-hitter, Allen Ripley hurled the Giants to a 6-1 triumph over the Dodgers. The Giants scored twice in the third inning on an RBI double by Bill North and run-scoring single by Cabell. Joe Morgan cracked a leadoff homer in the sixth and Jack Clark drilled a three-run homer in the eighth after a double by Cabell and a walk to Morgan.

Pirates 8, Mets 0 at New York (night game):
Spacing nine hits and supported by a 14-hit attack, Rick Rhoden pitched the Pirates to an 8-0 victory over the Mets. The Bucs scored five runs in the third inning on a two-run single by Dave Parker, RBI single by Mike Easler and two-run homer by Bill Madlock. Parker had four hits in the game.

Expos 6, Phillies 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
Stroking a single, double and triple and driving in two runs, .170-hitting Chris Speier paced the Expos to a 6-3 triumph over the Phillies, ending Philadelphia's four-game winning streak. The Expos scored in the fourth inning on a solo homer by Andre Dawson and in the fifth on a triple by Speier after a double by Larry Parrish. In the sixth, Dawson reached first safely when Larry Bowa booted his grounder, took second on a wild pickoff atempt and scored on a single by Ellis Valentine. Valentine moved to second on a single by Carter and scored on a single by Speier.
