Today's scores and summaries:

Tigers 10, Red Sox 4 at Boston (night game):
Steve Kemp delivered a two-run single with the bases full and the Tigers went on to score four more runs in the 14th inning and defeat the Red Sox, 10-4. Lance Parrish, who had hit a two-run homer in the fourth, contributed a two-run double in the 14th.

Rangers 2, Angels 1 at California (night game):
Jim Sundberg singled in the fifth inning, stole second and scored the winning run on a double by Larvell Blanks when the Rangers beat the Angels, 2-1. John Henry Johnson, making his first start since reporting from the Athletics, scattered four hits and struck out 10 over five innings before bowing out with a pulled leg muscle. Jim Kern yielded one hit over the last four innings to earn his 10th save.

Mariners 7, White Sox 2 at Chicago (night game):
Larry Cox, with a sacrifice fly and single, and Mario Mendoza, with an infield single and double, each drove in two runs to lead the Mariners to a 7-2 triumph over the White Sox.

Orioles 6, Indians 4 at Cleveland (night game):
Eddie Murray hit a leadoff home run and Billy Smith stroked a run-producing single in the seventh inning when the Orioles broke a 3-3 tie and went on to defeat the Indians, 6-4. It was the Orioles' fifth straight victory and 11th in their last 12 games.

Brewers 10, Twins 9 at Milwaukee (night game):
A throwing error by Butch Wynegar on Ben Oglivie's steal of second enabled Cecil Cooper to race home from third with the winning run in the eighth inning of the Brewers' 10-9 triumph over the Twins. Cooper opened the eighth with a walk, took second on a fielder's choice and reached third on a wild pitch by Mike Bacsik.

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 4 at New York (night game):
The Blue Jays defeated the Yankees, 5-4, and spoiled Billy Martin's return as manager. Luis Gomez hit a two-run single to cap a three-run sixth inning that routed Tommy John and proved decisive. Joe Cannon, a last-inning defensive replacement for Otto Velez, climbed the right field wall to deprive Graig Nettles of a two-run homer.

A's 6, Royals 5 at Oakland (night game):
Mike Heath's second home run of the game, off reliever Al Hrabosky in the eighth, enabled the Athletics to defeat the Royals, 6-5, and end their eight-game losing streak. Heath, making his debut with the Athletics after being acquired from the Rangers, hit his first homer in the fourth. The Athletics turned a triple play with Royals' runners at first and second in the sixth. Wayne Gross fielded a grounder from Al Cowens, tagged Darrell Porter, then threw to Mike Edwards at second. George Scott barreled into Edwards, prompting an interference call that completed the triple play.

Braves 10, Phillies 4 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves scored six runs in the seventh inning, including a three-run homer by Gary Matthews, to beat the Phillies, 10-4. This was the fourth homer in three games for Matthews. Phil Niekro, with ninth-inning help from Craig Skok, posted his sixth straight victory against the Phillies over two seasons.

Astros 3, Mets 1 at Houston (night game):
The Astros defeated the Mets, 3-1, behind Joaquin Andujar's two-hit pitching. Terry Puhl walked in the first inning and scored the Astros' first run on a double by Cesar Cedeno. Then in the third, Puhl singled, moved to third on a single by Julio Gonzalez and came on to score the winning run when Joel Youngblood's throw eluded third baseman Richie Hebner.

Cubs 7, Dodgers 4 at Los Angeles (night game):
Jerry Martin's two-run single was the key blow in a four-run seventh inning that carried the Cubs to a 7-4 victory over the Dodgers. Dave Kingman and Barry Foote delivered run-producing singles in the rally. Relievers Dick Tidrow and Bruce Sutter limited the Dodgers to three hits over the last four innings.

Expos 3, Reds 2 at Montreal (night game):
Consecutive singles by Andre Dawson, Tony Perez and Gary Carter in the sixth inning produced the winning run as the Expos edged the Reds, 3-2, and handed Mike LaCoss his first setback after eight victories.

Cardinals 7, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
A three-run third inning proved enough to bring the Cardinals a 7-2 victory over the Padres, ending a string of 13 consecutive defeats, dating back to July 17, 1976, at San Diego Stadium. John Fulgham, reached for two unearned runs in a shaky first inning, limited the Padres to eight hits in his major league debut.

Pirates 9, Giants 4 at San Francisco (night game):
The Pirates erupted for 15 hits and scored five runs in the third inning while walloping the Giants, 9-4. Two-run doubles by Ed Ott and John Candelaria and a triple by Phil Garner, one of a career high five hits in the game for the third baseman, highlighted the third-inning uprising.
