Today's scores and summaries:
Angels 7, Red Sox 2 at California (night game):
Taking advantage of fielding errors, the Angels beat the Red Sox, 7-2, for their fourth straight victory and eighth in the last 10 games. Rod Carew opened the Angels' first with a single and Rick Burleson walked. Carew scored on a single by Fred Lynn, who was making his first appearance against his old mates. Dan Ford hit a comebacker to Chuck Rainey, but Rainey's throwing error loaded the bases. Burleson scored as Larry Harlow forced Ford, Ed Ott singled to score Lynn, and Harlow scored when Rick Miller overran the ball in center field.
White Sox 3, Yankees 2 at Chicago (night game):
The White Sox edged the Yankees, 3-2, snapping the 12-game winning streak of Doug Bird, who had not lost since August 16, 1978. New York took the lead in the first inning on a homer by Lou Piniella, but Chicago tied the score in their half when Carlton Fisk, who had singled, took third on a double by Greg Luzinski and came home on a throwing error by right fielder Piniella. The White Sox went ahead in the second on an RBI single by Jim Morrison and scored their final run in the third on a run-scoring double by Harold Baines.
Brewers 6, Rangers 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
A two-out homer by Roy Howell in the seventh inning broke a 3-3 tie and sent the Brewers on their way to a 6-3 defeat of the Rangers. The victory was the eighth straight for Pete Vuckovich, who went seven innings before Rollie Fingers came in to pitch two perfect innings for his 12th save. Gorman Thomas also homered for the Brewers, as did Ted Simmons, who tripled home Cecil Cooper with an insurance run in the seventh.
Tigers 7, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
A three-run homer by Tom Brookens and a pair of RBIs by Steve Kemp carried the Tigers to a 7-2 victory over the Twins. With the Tigers trailing 2-1 in the sixth, Alan Trammell and Champ Summers singled to set the stage for Brookens' blast. Rick Leach then doubled and scored on a single by Bill Fahey. Kemp drove in the Tigers' first run with a grounder in the third and singled in another in the seventh.
Mariners 8, Orioles 2 at Seattle (night game):
Jeff Burroughs drove in four runs with a pair of bases-loaded singles and Julio Cruz tied an A.L. record with his 32nd consecutive stolen base as the Mariners whipped the Orioles, 8-2. Cruz began the Mariners' four-run first inning with a single and swiped second, tying the record set by the Royals' Willie Wilson last year. Cruz scored on a single by Bruce Bochte. After the bases were filled, Burroughs knocked in two runs with a single and Jerry Narron drove in the fourth run with a grounder. Tom Paciorek cracked a two-run homer in the second.
Royals 10, Blue Jays 5 at Toronto (night game):
Pinch-hitter Jamie Quirk cleared the sacks with a bases-loaded double in the eighth inning to lift the Royals to a 10-5 victory over the Blue Jays, losers for the 11th straight time. With the Jays leading, 5-4, George Brett led off the eighth with a triple off Mike Willis, working in relief of Dave Stieb. After a walk to Willie Aikens, Roy Lee Jackson took the mound. Brett was out at the plate on a grounder by Amos Otis. Hal McRae, who went 3-for-3 with a home run, was walked intentionally and, one out later, Quirk connected. Rance Mulliniks, who had run for Aikens, plated two runs with a double in the ninth and scored on a double by Otis.
Cubs 6, Giants 1 at Chicago (day game):
The Cubs scored four runs in the first inning, capped by Ken Reitz' two-run double, and downed the Giants, 6-1, for their fifth victory in six games. Jody Davis hit his first major league homer and Hector Cruz also homered to help the Cubs complete the three-game sweep.
Expos 7, Braves 0 at Montreal (night game):
The Expos blanked the Braves, 7-0, behind the seven-hit pitching of Steve Rogers to complete the sweep of the three-game series. Warren Cromartie, Andre Dawson and Gary Carter each drove in two runs and Tommy Boggs suffered his ninth defeat in a row as his record fell to 1-10.
Reds 5, Mets 2 at New York (night game):
George Foster broke a 2-2 tie with a three-run homer in the sixth that produced the Reds' 5-2 triumph over the Mets and gave Tom Seaver his sixth victory in succession. The triumph was No. 252 in Seaver's career, moving him past Bob Gibson into 30th place on the all-time list.
Cardinals 2, Dodgers 1 at St. Louis (night game):
George Hendrick hit a two-run, inside-the-park homer in the first inning and Silvio Martinez and reliever Bruce Sutter made it stand up as the Cardinals edged the Dodgers, 2-1. This was the fourth loss in five decisions for Fernando Valenzuela, who yielded three hits before bowing out for a pinch-hitter in the eighth.
