American League:
Milwaukee 2 at New York 3

Detroit 3 at Baltimore 7
-The Orioles continue their dominance over the Tigers as they chase Mark Fidrych (4-9, 3.87) from the game in the 5th. Mike Torrez (12-8, 3.61) went the distance for the Orioles.
Boston 4 at Cleveland 5
-Jim Rice had tied Gorman Thomas for the AL home run lead with his 29th in this one, but Thomas took the lead back with his 30th in the 8th and that would be the difference as the Indians send the Red Sox to 2nd place.
Chicago 1 at Kansas City 6
-Jim Colborn (9-6, 2.58) didn’t allow an earned run in the complete game win as the Royals score six runs in three innings off Jim Kaat (4-8, 4.02) to win easily.
Texas 7 at California 6 (10)
-Darrell Porter led off the 10th with a triple off Greg Minton (4-2, 2.91) and he’d score on a Johnny Grubb sacrifice fly for the decisive run. The Rangers rallied from 6-4 down in the 9th as the bullpen continues to be the weak link for the Halos.
Minnesota 6 at Oakland 1
-The eleventh time is the charm as the Twins finally win one versus the A’s. Jim Hughes (6-6, 3.33) pitched a complete game and Eric Soderholm smacked his 26th home run of the season
