Today's scores and summaries:

Tigers 6, Red Sox 3 at Boston (night game):
Mark Fidrych, Tigers' prize rookie righthander, survived one shaky inning and beat the Red Sox, 6-3, for his seventh victory in eight decisions. The Red Sox had their only shot at Fidrych in the fourth when they scored three runs, two on homers by Fred Lynn and Carl Yastrzemski, to take a 3-1 lead. The Tigers, however, came back with three in the sixth on a single by Ben Oglivie, a scoring double by Rusty Staub and homer by Jason Thompson. A triple by Aurelio Rodriguez helped the Tigers add their final pair in the eighth.

Angels 2, A's 1 at California (night game):
Bobby Bonds homered with a man on base in the first inning and the Angels made those tallies stand up for a 2-1 victory over the Athletics. Dave Collins singled ahead of Bonds' belt. The A's lone run counted in the eighth on a triple by Phil Garner and single by Bill North.

Twins 4, White Sox 2 at Minnesota (day game):
After scoring three runs in the third inning, the Twins picked up another tally on a homer by Steve Braun in the fourth and defeated the White Sox, 4-2. In the third, a walk, single by Braun and wild throw by Rich Gossage on a bunt resulted in the first run, with two others following on a wild pitch and single by Mike Cubbage.

Yankees 6, Indians 5 at New York (night game):
After retiring 21 straight batters, Doyle Alexander lost his stuff, but the Yankees came back with Mickey Rivers' fourth hit of the night to beat the Indians, 6-5. With the aid of a two-run homer by Graig Nettles, Alexander had a 5-0 lead going into the eighth inning when the Indians erupted for four runs, two counting on a homer by Alan Ashby. Rico Carty homered off reliever Sparky Lyle to tie the score in the ninth, but the Yanks scored the winning run in their half on a walk to Nettles, forceout by Oscar Gamble, double by Willie Randolph and single by Rivers.

Rangers 5, Royals 2 at Texas (night game):
The Rangers, who seized on physical and mental errors, defeated the Royals, 5-2, sending the Kaycee club down to its sixth straight loss. Jeff Burroughs hit a bloop double that could have been caught and scored the Rangers' first run on a single by Roy Howell in the second inning. In the third, singles by Gene Clines and Mike Hargrove around an error resulted in another run. Hargrove took third on a single by Toby Harrah and scored when the Royals failed in an attempted rundown of Harrah. Also in the fifth, when Lenny Randle was picked off second, Fred Patek hit the runner with a throw, allowing Randle to race home.

Braves 2, Expos 1 at Atlanta (night game):
Rowland Office, who had hit safely in 29 straight games, was stopped on his streak in three official times at bat, but the Braves nevertheless defeated the Expos, 2-1. The Expos scored in the first on a walk to Pepe Mangual and two-out single by Jose Morales, but the Braves came back with their pair in the second on a single by Darrel Chaney, an error on which Jerry Royster was safe and a double by Earl Williams, which drove in both runners, giving the victory to Dick Ruthven.

Cubs 2, Pirates 1 at Chicago (day game):
Jerry Morales, who doubled and scored the Cubs' tying run in the ninth inning, smashed a homer in the 13th to defeat the Pirates, 2-1. Willie Stargell homered for the Bucs' tally in the second. Morales, after hitting his two-bagger in the ninth, scored on another double by George Mitterwald.

Phillies 5, Reds 4 at Cincinnati (night game):
After failing to hold a 4-0 lead, Philadelphia came back to defeat the Reds, 5-4, scoring their deciding run on a pinch-single by Ollie Brown in the seventh inning. Garry Maddox and Dick Allen homered for the Phillies to help build up their lead, but the Reds rallied to tie the score in the sixth with three of their markers coming on Johnny Bench's first homer since May 28. However in the seventh, Allen doubled, stopped at third on another double by Jay Johnstone and scored on Brown's pinch-single.

Dodgers 5, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
Ted Sizemore upset the Astros' strategy with two singles, driving in three runs, to lead the Dodgers to a 5-1 victory. With the game tied, 1-1, the Dodgers opened the fifth inning with singles by Dusty Baker and Steve Yeager. After both runners advanced on a wild pitch, the Astros passed Bill Buckner intentionally to get at Sizemore, who singled to score two runs. Again in the seventh, after a walk to Yeager and a sacrifice, the Astros passed Buckner and Sizemore singled to drive in his third run.

Giants 8, Padres 5 at San Francisco (day game):
Celebrating his 25th birthday, Ken Reitz hit a single, double and triple to lead the Giants' attack in an 8-5 victory over the Padres. The Giants, smashing a 2-2 tie, sent 11 men to the plate and scored six runs in the sixth inning with the aid of triples by Reitz and Derrel Thomas and doubles by Glenn Adams and Darrell Evans.
