Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 3, Indians 0 at California (day game):
Completing the four-game series sweep, the Angels whitewashed the Indians, 3-0, behind the four-hit hurling of Ken Forsch.

White Sox 6, Brewers 1 at Chicago (day game):
Steve Kemp drove in three runs and Salome Barojas registered his ninth save as the White Sox downed the Brewers, 6-1.

Tigers 7, Twins 6 at Detroit (day game):
In a game featuring eight homers, the Tigers completed a four-game series sweep by edging the Twins, 7-6. Larry Herndon lashed a solo round-tripper to break a 6-6 tie in the seventh inning. The Twins took a 5-0 lead in the first inning as Randy Johnson slammed a two-run homer, Tom Brunansky and John Castino drilled solo shots and Tim Laudner stroked an RBI single. Alan Trammell unloaded a grand slam in the second inning and Mike Ivie tied the game at 5-5 with a leadoff belt in the third.

Orioles 5, Mariners 4 at Seattle (night game):
A sacrifice fly by Rick Dempsey delivered the game-winning run as the Orioles edged the Mariners, 5-4 in 10 innings.
