Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Indians 1 at Baltimore (day game):
Scattering seven hits over seven innings, Scott McGregor picked up his 20th victory of the season as the Orioles prevailed over the Indians, 7-1. Dan Graham blasted a solo homer in the second inning, Doug DeCinces singled across a fourth-inning run and Pat Kelly stroked a sacrifice fly in the fifth. A two-run double by Al Bumbry highlighted a four-run outburst in the sixth.

Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 1 at Boston (day game):
The Blue Jays closed out their season on a winning note with a 4-1 triumph over the Red Sox. The Jays jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Al Woods and made it 2-0 in the fourth on Willie Upshaw's only homer of the season. Ernie Whitt drilled a two-run single in the ninth.

White Sox 5, Angels 3 at Chicago (day game):
Jumping off to a three-run lead in the first inning, the White Sox went on to a 5-3 decision over the Angels. White Sox runs in the opening frame came on RBI singles by Wayne Nordhagen, Glenn Borgmann and Rusty Kuntz. Harold Baines smacked a run-scoring double in the second and scored on a wild pitch.

Royals 4, Twins 0 at Kansas City (day game):
Paul Splittorff and Rich Gale combined on a one-hitter as the Royals defeated the Twins, 4-0. The Twins' hit was a single by John Castino in the first inning. Hal McRae belted a three-run homer in the third inning and Willie Wilson collected his 230th hit of season in the fifth, tying the record set by Pete Rose in 1973 for switch-hitters. George Brett, who did not play, finished the season at .390, the highest average in the majors since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941.

Brewers 5, A's 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
Ben Oglivie cracked his 41st homer -- tying him with New York's Reggie Jackson for the league title -- to send the game into extra innings, then scored the winning run on a 15th-inning single by Vic Harris as the Brewers shaded the A's, 5-4. Oglivie singled with one out in the 15th and stole second. After Gorman Thomas flied out and John Poff was walked intentionally, Harris delivered the game-winning blow.

Yankees 2, Tigers 1 at New York (day game):
Making his first major league start, Tim Lollar allowed only two hits in six innings to gain the victory as the Yankees edged the Tigers, 2-1. Both New York runs came in the second inning on a leadoff triple by Reggie Jackson and homer by Eric Soderholm. Jackson's hit enabled him to finish a season at .300 for the first time in his career. The crowd of 35,879 gave the Yankees an A.L. season home attendance record of 2,627,417.

Rangers 3, Mariners 2 at Texas (day game):
A double by Johnny Grubb in the ninth inning scored Jim Norris from first base to snap a 2-2 tie and give the Rangers a 3-2 victory over the Mariners. Mike Parrott lost his 16th straight game since winning on the opening day of the season.

Reds 1, Braves 0 at Cincinnati (day game):
Joe Price and Tom Hume combined on a three-hitter to give the Reds a 1-0 victory over the Braves. The run came in the eighth inning when Junior Kennedy and pinch-hitter Ken Griffey drew two-out walks and moved up on a wild pitch. Dave Collins then hit a grounder to shortstop Rafael Ramirez and beat the throw to first for an infield single.

Dodgers 4, Astros 3 at Los Angeles (day game):
Completing the sweep of the three-game series, the Dodgers gained a 4-3 victory on a two-run homer by Ron Cey in the eighth inning to tie with the Astros for first place and force a one-game playoff for the West Division title. The Astros had a 3-2 lead when Steve Garvey opened the Dodgers' eighth by reaching first base safely on an error by Astros third baseman Enos Cabell. After twice unsuccessfully attempting to bunt, Cey worked the count to 3-2 and then blasted a round-tripper off reliever Frank LaCorte. The Astros placed runners on first and third with two out in the ninth, but Don Sutton relieved and retired pinch-hitter Denny Walling on a groundout.

Expos 8, Phillies 7 at Montreal (day game):
A three-run homer by Jerry White in the 10th inning lifted the Expos to an 8-7 victory over the Phillies. The Phillies broke a 5-5 tie in the top of the 10th on an error and RBI single by John Vukovich. With two out in the bottom of the frame, Chris Speier and pinch-hitter Willie Montanez singled and White followed with his circuit swat.

Pirates 1, Cubs 0 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Four-hit pitching by Don Robinson carried the Pirates to a 1-0 whitewashing of the Cubs. The lone run of the game came in the fourth inning on a triple by Vance Law and single by Bill Robinson. The Cubs' Buckner, although going 0-for-4, finished the season at .324 to capture the league's batting championship.

Padres 7, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
Scattering nine hits, Tom Tellmann hurled the first complete game of his major league career as the Padres upended the Giants, 7-3. Bill Fahey led the Padres' attack with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning and two-run double in the eighth.

Cardinals 3, Mets 2 at St. Louis (day game):
The decisive run came home on a wild pitch as the Cardinals defeated the Mets, 3-2, closing out a disastrous season for both clubs. The game was tied, 2-2, when Ken Reitz began the Redbirds' sixth inning with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Ty Waller, who reached third on a double by Steve Swisher. After Keith Smith was intentionally walked, Mets hurler Pete Falcone unleashed a wild pitch. John Martin scattered seven hits to achieve his first complete game in the majors.
