Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 3 at Boston (day game):
A wild pitch enabled the Red Sox to edge the Blue Jays, 4-3. The score was 3-3 when Glenn Hoffman led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a triple. Jerry Garvin then replaced Roy Lee Jackson on the hill for the Jays. He walked-pinch-hitter Tony Perez intentionally then uncorked a wild pitch with the count 1-2 on Rick Miller, permitting Hoffman to cross the plate. The Sox had tied the game in the eighth on Carney Lansford's single.

Angels 5, Twins 2 at California (day game):
Don Baylor belted a pair of homers and Geoff Zahn pitched a six-hitter as the Angels recorded their sixth consecutive victory, 5-2 over the Twins. The Angels scored four runs in the first inning on a wild pitch, sacrifice fly by Reggie Jackson and Baylor's two-run blast. Baylor's second circuit swat came with the bases empty in the sixth. Twins rookie first baseman Kent Hrbek clouted his sixth homer of the season, a line shot to right in the fourth inning.

White Sox 6, Orioles 4 at Chicago (day game):
A throwing error on a double steal enabled the decisive runs to score as the unbeaten White Sox rolled to their eighth straight triumph, beating the Orioles, 6-4. It was Baltimore's sixth loss in a row. The game was tied, 4-4, when Vance Law led off the bottom of the seventh with a walk and Ron LeFlore followed with an infield single. Law and LeFlore then executed a double steal and both scored when catcher Rick Dempsey threw the ball into left field for an error while trying to throw out Law at third. Rookie Salome Barojas registered his fifth save in as many appearances.

Indians 8, Royals 2 at Cleveland (day game):
Extra-base hits propelled the Indians to an 8-2 pounding of the Royals. The Tribe tallied four times in their first turn at bat on a double by Andre Thornton, Alan Bannister's two-run double and a double by Rick Manning. Mike Hargrove drilled a leadoff double in the third and scored on a pair of balks by Bud Black, who was making his first big league start. Toby Harrah also belted a solo homer in the seventh.

Tigers 5, Yankees 2 at Detroit (day game):
Dan Petry and Elias Sosa pitched the Tigers to a five-hit, 5-2 triumph over the Yankees. The Tigers scored twice in the second inning on singles by Tom Brookens and Alan Trammell and twice in the seventh on singles by Enos Cabell and Larry Herndon. Trammell doubled home the Tigers' final run in the eighth and Roy Smalley hit a two-run homer for New York in the ninth.

Rangers 9, Brewers 6 at Milwaukee (day game):
George Wright's three-run homer climaxed a four-run eighth inning that lifted the Rangers to a 9-6 victory over the Brewers, who lost their fifth straight. The game was knotted, 5-5, when Mike Richardt walked to begin the eighth. Pete Vuckovich was lifted for Doug Jones, who retired Leon Roberts on a bunt pop-up, but Mark Wagner singled Richardt to third and Doug Flynn, celebrating his 31st birthday, followed with an RBI single. Jamie Easterly then relieved for the Brewers and was greeted by Wright's circuit clout.

Mariners 4, A's 3 at Seattle (day game):
Rallying for two runs in the bottom of the ninth, the Mariners edged the A's, 4-3. The A's led, 3-2, when Richie Zisk opened the ninth with a game-tying homer. Jim Maler singled and reached second on an error by right fielder Joe Rudi. After Al Cowens was walked intentionally and Joe Simpson sacrificed the runners along, Bud Bulling walked to load the sacks and Todd Cruz, with the infield drawn in, slapped the ball to deep short. Rob Picciolo's throw to the plate was too late.

Braves 6, Astros 5 at Houston (night game):
A pinch-double by Biff Pocoroba in the eighth inning enabled the Braves to defeat the Astros, 6-5, and extend their winning streak at the start of the season to a major league record-equalling 11 games. The surge set an N. L. record. With the score tied, 4-4, Chris Chambliss opened the eighth with a double and Bruce Benedict was walked intentionally. Pocoroba, batting for pitcher Al Hrabosky, doubled off reliever Dave Smith to knock in two runs.

Expos 7, Mets 6 at New York (day game):
Scoring six runs in the first two innings, the Expos outlasted the Mets, 7-6. The Expos scored four runs in their first turn at bat on Andre Dawson's single and a three-run homer by Gary Carter. Montreal picked up two more in the second on Dawson's round-tripper. The Expos' final marker came in the sixth on a single by Tim Wallach. All of the New York runs came on homers. Dave Kingman belted a two-run shot in the fourth and another two-run swat in the eighth. George Foster had a two-run clount in the sixth.

Cubs 5, Pirates 1 at Pittsburgh (day game):
A three-run homer by Leon Durham sparked the Cubs to a 5-1 triumph over the Pirates. Durham's blast keyed a four-run outburst in the third inning and snapped a 1-1 tie. Randy Martz pitched four innings of hitless relief to earn his first save.

Padres 9, Dodgers 3 at San Diego (day game):
Exploding for seven runs in the eighth inning, the Padres completed a four-game series sweep by beating the Dodgers, 9-3. San Diego sent 13 men to the plate in the eighth as Terry Kennedy drilled a two-run double and Broderick Perkins smashed a two-run triple. The final three runs came in on a wild pitch, a single by Juan Bonilla and a bases-loaded walk.

Giants 4, Reds 2 at San Francisco (day game):
Homers by Reggie Smith and Darrell Evans powered the Giants to a 4-2 triumph over the Reds. Smith hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning and Evans cracked a solo blast in the sixth. Rookie Alan Fowlkes, getting relief help from Greg Minton, received credit for his second straight major league victory. Two Reds runners were thrown out at home and three were caught stealing.

Cardinals 6, Phillies 5 at St. Louis (day game):
Rookie David Green was the hero as the Cardinals came from behind to score their eighth straight victory, edging the Phillies, 6-5 in 11 innings. The Redbirds trailed, 5-3, going into the bottom of the ninth, but tied the game on RBI singles by George Hendrick and Green. In the bottom of the 11th, Keith Hernandez drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Orlando Sanchez. After Hendrick was walked intentionally, Green lined an 0-1 serve over the second baseman's head for the winning run.
