Baltimore 1 at Milwaukee 0
-Ellie Hendricks (.255 10HR) solo home run off Gary Beare (3-4, 2.87) was all the support Wayne Garland (7-1, 2.23) needed as he pitches a four-hit shutout. Garland did walk seven batters but the Brewers left twelve men on base. The Orioles have won five in a row and lead by 2.5 games.
Texas 3 at Chicago 1

Minnesota 2 at California 6

Kansas City 3 at Oakland 4 (10)
-Cliff Johnson (.333 10HR) thrilled the Coliseum crowd with a game winning single in the 10^th to go with his earlier home run as the A’s move back ahead of the Royals for 1^st place in the AL West. Dave Heaverlo (3-1, 3.46) pitched two shutout innings for the win in relief

National League
Philadelphia 2 at Chicago 3
-Dennis Eckersley (5-4, 2.59), Bruce Sutter (4Sv, 2.87) help the Cubs return the favour to the Phillies as they take three straight at Wrigley after the Cubs were swept at the Vet a week ago. A fourth game will be played in this series tomorrow.

-Woodie Fryman (3-1, 3.40) goes the distance in a spot start as the Expos avoid a four-game sweep versus 1^st place Pittsburgh
New York 1 at St. Louis 0
-Rookies shone for the Mets as Bob Myrick (4-2, 3.26) pitches a shutout and Leo Foster’s (.182 2HR) home run off Eric Rasmussen (6-4, 2.77) was the game’s only scoring
Cincinnati 4 at Los Angeles 13

Atlanta 1 at San Diego 5
-The Padres get to John Montefusco (4-8, 2.84) in the 7^th to take a 2-1 lead and would open it up with three off Mike Beard (4.34) in the 8^th as they extend their lead in the West to 3 over the Astros and 4.5 over the Reds
Houston 1 at San Francisco 4
-J.R. Richard falls to 4-6, 5.08 despite ten strikeouts in six innings as Jim Barr (4-6, 4.13) and the Giants down the Astros at Candlestick.
