Today's scores and summaries:

Brewers 7, Blue Jays 0 at Milwaukee (night game):
Mike Caldwell hurled his first complete game since June 8, 1981, and his first shutout since 1980 while limiting the Blue Jays to four hits as the Brewers won, 7-0. A first-inning homer by Cecil Cooper and Ben Oglivie's two-run homer in the fifth were the big blows.

Tigers 3, Yankees 1 at New York (night game):
The Tigers ran their winning streak to six games with a 3-1 triumph over the Yankees on Chet Lemon's tape-measure two-run homer in the third inning and the six-hit pitching of Jack Morris. Lemon's clout off veteran lefthander Tommy John, now 0-3, went into the rarely-reached portion of the upper deck in left field.

Mariners 8, Twins 4 at Seattle (night game):
The Mariners exploded for seven runs in the third inning to overcome a 2-0 deficit and beat the Twins, 8-4. Jim Essian got two hits and drove in two runs and Richie Zisk doubled home two runs in the big inning.

Indians 4, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
Reliever Dan Spillner's three shutout innings enabled Indians' starter Len Barker to conquer the Rangers, his ex-teammates, for the seventh time in eight decisions, 4-3. Joe Charboneau drove in two runs for the Indians with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and a double in the third. Rick Manning capped the Tribe's three-run surge with a two-run triple in the third off loser Frank Tanana.

Reds 2, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves' modern record of 13 straight victories at the start of a season was snapped by the Reds, 2-1. Bruce Berenyi, who combined with Tom Hume on a six-hitter, also drove in the winning run in Cincinnati's two-run fifth inning. Atlanta starter Bob Walk, who retired the first 13 men he faced, was touched for consecutive singles by Larry Biittner, Paul Householder and Wayne Krenchicki before Berenyi's two-out single to center broke a 1-1 deadlock. Hume replaced Berenyi and escaped a bases-loaded one-out jam in the seventh, stopping the Braves seven wins shy of the all-time record from the start which was set by St. Louis of the Union Association in 1884. Atlanta's last gasp came in the ninth inning when Brett Butler, trying to prolong the streak, singled with two out, but Glenn Hubbard flied out to right to end the game. The crowd gave the Braves a standing ovation.
