Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 8, Rangers 7 at Baltimore (night game):
A steal of home by Cal Ripken spurred the Orioles to an 8-7 decision over the Rangers. With the game tied, 3-3 in the sixth inning, Ripken singled, went to third on a single by Lenn Sakata and stole home as Sakata stole second. Al Bumbry then singled to plate Sakata. The Birds got three runs in the eighth on Rich Dauer's single and a two-run homer by Ken Singleton. Texas rallied for four runs in the ninth on a three-run pinch-homer by Leon Roberts and a round-tripper by Larry Parrish, but Tippy Martinez came on to get the last two outs and earn his fourth save.

Tigers 4, Angels 3 at California (day game):
Staging a three-run rally in the top of the ninth inning, the Tigers edged the Angels, 4-3. Detroit, trailing 3-1, loaded the bases on singles by Richie Hebner and Larry Herndon and a walk to Lance Parrish. Lou Whitaker's single scored Hebner and Herndon to tie the game and Jerry Turner followed with the game-winning pinch-single. Brian Downing hit a homer for the Angels in the fifth and Bobby Grich cracked a leadoff round-tripper in the sixth.

Indians 9, Twins 4 at Cleveland (night game):
Von Hayes drove in five runs with a three-run homer, bases-loaded walk and a double to lead the Indians to a 9-4 scalping of the Twins, the Tribe's eighth straight victory and Minnesota's 12th loss in a row. The Indians tallied four times in the first on a single by Mike Hargrove and Hayes' round-tripper. They picked up three more runs in the third on a run-scoring double by Hargrove and two-run circuit clout by Andre Thornton.

Royals 11, White Sox 4 at Kansas City (night game):
Laying down an 18-hit barrage, the Royals bombed the White Sox, 11-4. K.C. tallied five runs in the fifth inning on an RBI triple by George Brett, RBI single by Hal McRae, an error by Sox center fielder Ron LeFlore and run-scoring singles by Jerry Martin and Onix Concepcion. The Royals picked up five more runs in the sixth on an error by Chicago third baseman Jim Morrison, Willie Aikens' double, a single by Frank White, two-bagger by Concepcion and single by Willie Wilson.

Red Sox 5, A's 2 at Oakland (day game):
A grand slam by Rick Miller enabled the Red Sox to down the A's, 5-2. Miller's blast came in the fourth inning and wiped out a 1-0 Oakland lead. The A's managed only five hits, including Rickey Henderson's home run in the first and a homer by Tony Armas in the eighth, off the pitching of Bob Ojeda and Bob Stanley.

Mariners 5, Brewers 4 at Seattle (night game):
Paul Serna's second homer of the game, a two-run shot in the bottom of the 11th inning, lifted the Mariners to a 5-4 triumph over the Brewers. Serna's blast followed a one-out single by Lenny Randle and enabled Seattle to overcome a 4-3 lead that Milwaukee had taken in the top of the frame on Robin Yount's homer, his second round-tripper of the game. Cecil Cooper also smacked two homers for the Brewers, giving him five in five games. The Mariners had tied the contest in the bottom of the ninth on Bruce Bochte's single.

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 4 at Toronto (night game):
Rance Mulliniks drove in three runs with two doubles to spark the Blue Jays to a 5-4 triumph over the Yankees. Mulliniks' first two-bagger came in the third inning and scored Alfredo Griffin and Damaso Garcia, who were aboard via singles. His second two-bagger came in the fifth and plated Garcia after his infield single. Willie Upshaw followed Mulliniks' hit with an RBI double.

Padres 9, Cubs 7 at Chicago (day game):
Tim Flannery drove in three runs and Ruppert Jones and Sixto Lezcano homered to lead the Padres to a 9-7 victory over the Cubs. Flannery's two-run double highlighted a four-run fourth inning and he delivered a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Jones hit a two-run homer in the first and Lexcano clouted a solo homer in the third and added an RBI double in the fourth.

Expos 10, Astros 0 at Montreal (night game):
Tim Wallach hit two homers and Charlie Lea twirled a four-hitter as the Expos blanked the Astros, 10-0. The Expos scored five runs in the first inning on Andre Dawson's two-run homer, an error by Houston left fielder Jose Cruz and two-run blast by Wallach. Wallach also drilled a two-run round-tripper to cap a three-run fifth.

Mets 10, Braves 4 at New York (day game):
Charlie Puleo allowed six hits and struck out 10 in 7 2/3 innings and John Stearns drove in three runs as the Mets defeated the Braves, 10-4. Stearns singled and scored in the first inning, singled home a fourth-inning run and doubled home a pair of runs in a four-run sixth. Ellis Valentine belted a two-run homer in the eighth.

Phillies 5, Reds 4 at Philadelphia (night game):
The winning run scored on an error as the Phillies edged the Reds, 5-4 in 15 innings. With the game knotted, 4-4, Bob Dernier began the 15th with a single. He went to second on a sacrifice, reached third as Gary Matthews flied out and scored the winning run when Reds third baseman Johnny Bench made an errant throw to first on a grounder by Manny Trillo. The Phils had trailed, 4-0, going into the bottom of the ninth, but tied the contest on a two-run double by Bo Diaz and a two-run single by Garry Maddox.

Dodgers 5, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Pushing across two runs in the top of the eighth inning, the Dodgers shaded the Pirates, 5-4. The score was 3-3 when the Dodgers loaded the bases on a double by Pedro Guerrero, single by Steve Garvey and a fielder's choice grounder by Ron Cey. Mike Scioscia then hit a sacrifice fly and, after a walk to pinch-hitter Rick Monday, Ken Landreaux hit another sacrifice fly. The Pirates scored in the bottom of the frame on a solo homer by Jason Thompson and loaded the bases before Terry Forster came on to end the threat by getting Willie Stargell to fly out to center.

Cardinals 11, Giants 6 at St. Louis (night game):
Scoring 10 runs in the fourth inning, the Cardinals routed the Giants, 11-6. Orlando Sanchez singled home the first run of the inning to kayo starter Renie Martin. Dan Schatzeder relieved and gave up six hits and six runs, including a two-run double by Ozzie Smith. Tito Landrum, who went in as a pinch-hitter, singled twice in the inning. Willie McGee also had two hits in the same frame and went 4-for-5.
