Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Orioles 3, Blue Jays 1 (night game) / Blue Jays 11, Orioles 10 at Baltimore (night game):
The Blue Jays and Orioles split a doubleheader, Baltimore winning the lidlifter, 3-1, behind the five-hit hurling of Mike Flanagan, while the Jays outlasted the Birds, 11-10, in the nightcap. The Birds' runs in the opener came on a sacrifice fly by Ken Singleton and and RBI double by Terry Crowley in the first inning, and a solo homer by Jim Dwyer in the eighth. The second game was a Pier 6 donnybrook. The Jays got five runs in the first inning with a three-run homer by Dave Revering the big hit. The Orioles scored four in the bottom of the frame with a two-run double by John Lowenstein being the key blow. A pinch-hit grand slam by Benny Ayala highlighted a five-run Baltimore seventh. Toronto tied the score at 10-10 in the eighth on a double by Alfredo Griffin and pushed across the winning run in the ninth on Revering's single, his fifth RBI of the game.

Angels 5, Brewers 4 at California (day game):
A homer by Reggie Jackson in the 10th inning -- only his fourth hit in his last 31 at-bats -- enabled the Angels to shade the Brewers, 5-4. Jackson's hit came with one out on a 3-1 pitch by Jamie Easterly. The Angels had tied the game in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out single by Bobby Grich off Rollie Fingers.

Indians 5, White Sox 2 at Cleveland (day game):
The Indians pinned the first defeat on LaMarr Hoyt with a 5-2 triumph over the White Sox. If was the first defeat for Hoyt in 10 decisions this season and in 14 decisions dating back to August 27 of last year. The Tribe tallied in their first at bat on a sacrifice fly by Mike Hargrove and added three more runs in the second with a two-run single by Alan Bannister being the key blow.

Yankees 6, Twins 4 at Minnesota (day game):
Scoring two runs after two were out in the ninth, the Yankees tagged the Twins with their tenth straight defeat, 6-4. Willie Randolph singled and scored the tie-breaking run on a double by Ken Griffey, who came home on Oscar Gamble's single. The Twins recorded the fourth triple play of their history in the second inning. With Bobby Murcer on second and Graig Nettles on first, Roy Smalley struck out. Murcer was breaking for third and catcher Sal Butera fired to third baseman Gary Gaetti, who chased Murcer back to second. Nettles, who had moved to second, raced back toward first. Gaetti threw the ball to first baseman Kent Hrbek, who tagged Nettles and threw to pitcher Terry Felton, who tagged Murcer sliding into third.

Tigers 7, A's 4 at Oakland (day game):
A two-run homer by Lance Parrish in the fifth inning spurred the Tigers to a 7-4 victory over the A's. Parrish's blast followed a walk to Larry Herndon and overcame a 1-0 Oakland lead. The Tigers scored four more runs in the seventh on RBI singles by Lou Whitaker and Kirk Gibson, an RBI double by Tom Brookens and a wild pitch.

Mariners 4, Red Sox 2 at Seattle (night game):
A homer by Paul Serna triggered a four-run fourth inning that carried the Mariners to a 4-2 triumph over the Red Sox. Serna's clout came on the first pitch of the inning. The Mariners picked up three more runs in the frame on a run-scoring single by Gary Gray and a throwing error by Sox shortstop Glenn Hoffman on a double-play attempt.

Royals 14, Rangers 1 at Texas (night game):
The Royals erupted for six runs in the third inning and went on to a 14-1 rout of the Rangers.

Paul Splittorff, who went eight innings, retired 18 of the last 20 batters he faced.

Cubs 3, Dodgers 2 at Chicago (day game):
A single by Ryne Sandberg delivered the winning run in the 13th inning as the Cubs edged the Dodgers, 3-2. Larry Bowa began the 13th with a walk, reached second on a sacrifice and went to third on an infield single by Gary Woods. Pinch-hitter Hector Cruz then bounced to third and Bowa was thrown out at the plate. Sandberg followed with the game-winning hit.

Expos 4, Reds 1 at Montreal (day game):
A three-run homer by Gary Carter broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning and lifted the Expos to their eighth straight victory, winning a 4-1 decision over the Reds. Carter's blast came on the first pitch from reliever Jim Kern, who had just entered the game. The Reds had manufactured the deadlock in the top of the eighth on Eddie Milner's first major league homer.

Astros 5, Mets 2 at New York (night game):
Joe Niekro went the route on a five-hitter, walking none and striking out nine, to lead the Astros to a 5-2 victory over the Mets.
