Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 6, A's 0 at Boston (day game):
In a game shortened to 5½ innings because of rain, the Red Sox blanked the A's, 6-0. The Sox scored once in the second inning on Jerry Remy's single, and Jim Rice and Dave Stapleton belted solo homers in the third. The victory was Boston's fifth in a row and handed Oakland its sixth straight loss.

Indians 6, White Sox 4 at Chicago (night game):
A double by Ron Hassey was the key blow as the Indians snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the White Sox, 6-4 in 14 innings. The score was 4-4 when Andre Thornton opened the 14th with a single, reached second on a wild pitch and came in on the two-bagger by Hassey. Rick Manning then rapped a single that scored Hassey.

Angels 7, Tigers 2 at Detroit (day game):
Taking advantage of Detroit misplays, the Angels tamed the Tigers, 7-2, behind Steve Renko's four-hit pitching. California scored twice in each of the first two innings as Detroit committed three of its four errors. First-inning runs came on an error by third baseman Tom Brookens and a run-scoring forceout. Second-inning runs came on a throwing error by first baseman Richie Hebner and an RBI single by Bobby Grich.

Royals 5, Rangers 3 at Kansas City (day game):
A two-run pinch double by Cesar Geronimo climaxed a three-run eighth inning that lifted the Royals to a 5-3 decision over the Rangers. Trailing, 3-2, K.C. tied the game in the eighth on singles by Amos Otis, Hal McRae and Jerry Martin. Geronimo then hit his two-bagger to score McRae and Martin. Reliever Mike Armstrong recieved credit for his first A.L. victory.

Mariners 6, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (day game):
A pinch single by Manny Castillo drove in the winning run as the Mariners edged the Brewers, 6-5 in 11 innings. The game was tied, 5-5, when Dave Henderson opened the 11th with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice. Rick Sweet then walked and, one out later, Castillo drilled a hit to right to chase Henderson home.

Yankees 4, Twins 2 at New York (day game):
John Mayberry went 3-for-4 and drove in the tie-breaking runs to pace the Yankees to their fifth straight victory, a 4-2 decision over the Twins. The game was tied, 1-1, when the Yanks loaded the bases with one out in the seventh inning on a double by Andre Robertson and walks to Dave Collins and Oscar Gamble. Mayberry then drilled a single to center to give the Yanks a 3-1 lead. Graig Nettles cracked a leadoff homer in the eighth.

Blue Jays 7, Orioles 1 at Toronto (day game):
Allowing just five hits in going the distance, Luis Leal pitched the Blue Jays to a 7-1 triumph over the Orioles. The Jays scored three runs in the fourth inning on an RBI double by Lloyd Moseby, Ernie Whitt's run-scoring groundout and an RBI single by Hosken Powell. Barry Bonnell drilled a solo homer in the fifth and Damaso Garcia, extending his hitting streak to 10 games, rapped a two-run single in the sixth.

Phillies 2, Braves 1 at Atlanta (day game):
Dick Ruthven and Ed Farmer combined on a four-hitter as the Phillies shaded the Braves, 2-1. The Braves were hitless until Bob Horner opened the bottom of the eighth with a single. He scored as Glenn Hubbard bounced into a double play. The Phils scored in the second on a single by Gary Matthews and double by Garry Maddox, and in the third frame on Pete Rose's RBI groundout.

Expos 4, Reds 2 at Cincinnati (day game):
Completing the three-game series sweep, the Expos defeated the Reds, 4-2. Montreal tallied three runs in the fifth inning on an RBI double by Tim Wallach and Tim Raines' two-run double. Raines' second two-bagger plated a run in the ninth.

Mets 2, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Registering his 19th career shutout on a four-hitter, Randy Jones twirled the Mets to a 2-0 triumph over the Astros. The Mets tallied both runs in the third inning as Tom Veryzer singled, advanced to second on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Wally Backman. Walks to George Foster and Dave Kingman then loaded the bases before Backman scored on a wild pitch.

Dodgers 5, Cardinals 0 at Los Angeles (day game):
Striking for three runs in the first inning on a two-run triple by Pedro Guerrero and a sacrifice fly by Rick Monday, and behind the five-hit hurling of Bob Welch, the Dodgers went on to blank the Cardinals, 5-0.

Pirates 4, Padres 2 at San Diego (day game):
Lee Lacy drove in two runs with a double and triple to key the Pirates' 4-2 victory over the Padres. Omar Moreno led off the first inning for the Bucs with a single and Lacy followed with an RBI double. Singles by Bill Robinson, Johnny Ray and Dale Berra produced two more markers. Lacy's three-bagger followed a double by John Candelaria in the second.

[DH] Giants 4, Cubs 3 (day game) / Giants 6, Cubs 3 at San Francisco (day game):
The Giants swept a doubleheader from the Cubs, winning the opener, 4-3 in 10 innings, and capturing the nightcap, 6-3. The curtain-raiser was tied at 3-3 when Chili Davis and Dave Bergman opened the bottom of the 10th with singles. Both runners advanced on a sacrifice and Jack Clark ended the game with a single. Johnnie LeMaster drove in two runs with a triple in the second inning of the nightcap. He then singled in the sixth, stole second and scored on a single by Duane Kuiper.
