Winfield, who hit a two-run homer in the first inning, connected off Toronto reliever Tom Henke (0-3) for the Yankees' second grand slam of the game, which tied a major league record. Don Mat-tingly hit the first one in the second inning as New York was building a lead that would become 11-4 after 5V4 innings. Toronto closed to within three, 11-8, and then went ahead with six runs in the seventh, 14-11. But the Yankees came back with four runs in the top of eighth to take the lead for good, thanks to Winfield's 18th home run. In all, the teams combined for eight homers to tie the major league high for a game this season.

Among those was a two-run in-side-the-park home run by Ron Kittle. Dave Righetti (5-3) pitched three innings for the win, allowing four hits and three unearned runs. Boston 14, Baltimore 3 Wade Boggs, who leads the majors in hitting at .384, drove in a career-high seven runs with a grand slam, a triple and a single, at Boston. It was his 28th multi-hit game of the year. Marty Barrett, Todd Benzinger, Mike Greenwell, Bill Buckner and Rich Gedman had two hits each as the Red Sox handed Baltimore its 25th loss in 30 games.

Greenwell, a rookie who entered the game when left fielder Jim Rice twisted his left knee trying to catch a fly ball in the first inning, drove in three runs with a single in the bottom of the inning, a double in the second and a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Bruce Hurst, 9-5 overall and 7-1 in 10 Fenway Park starts, allowed 10 hits and struck out seven without any walks in his ninth complete game of the season. Baltimore's Dave Schmidt (8-2) had a six-game winning streak snapped after he allowed four runs in the first inning. Chicago 5, Oakland 2 Harold Baines and Ivan Calderon hit back-to-back homers in the third inning, and Richard Dotson struck out seven and pitched his third complete game of the season at Chicago as the White Sox won for only the sixth time in June. Baines hit his 10th home run of the season and 150th of his career with two out in the third, giving Chicago a 2-1 lead.

Three pitches later, Calderon got his 10th homer, also off Young, who left the game in the fourth with a strained left biceps. The A's, who hit 10 home runs in the previous two games, managed only two extra-base hits off Dotson (5-5)s Carney Lansford's double with two outs in the third and Tony Phillips' two-out RBI double in the eighth. Mark McGwire, who had eight hits and five home runs in his last two games, was hitless. Kansas City 3, Minnesota 2 Bo Jackson hit his 16th home run of the season to cap a three-run rally in a fifth inning at Kansas City that was delayed twice hy rain, once for 20 minutes and then for 93, ending the game. It was the fifth straight loss for the Twins.

After the first rain delay, Frank White singled and went to third when Jim Eisenreich doubled to center. Then, with Jackson batting, Minnesota pitcher Les Straker (3-5) dropped the ball during his windup and was charged with a balk, White scoring and Eisenreich advancing to third. Eisenreich then scored on a wild pitch before Jackson hit the game-winner on a 3-2 pitch. Detroit 11, Milwaukee 1 Jack Morris (11-3) allowed two hits in seven innings, and Tom Brookens drove in three runs to lead the Tigers at Milwaukee. The Tigers jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning off Chris Bosio (3-2), who was making his first start of the season after 27 relief appearances.

The lead grew to 5-0 in the third against Bosio and his replacement, John Henry Johnson. Texas 4, Seattle 3 Pete O'Brien singled home Jerry Browne from second base in the eighth inning at Arlington, to give the Rangers their fifth straight win. Mitch Williams (5-3) relieved Greg Harris in the eighth inning and earned the victory. Harris, a converted reliever, went seven innings, his longest outing since September, 1982, and allowed just three hits and a walk. "It's been a very good month for me," said O'Brien, who hit .356 in June to raise his average 59 points from .224.

"I didn't contribute much during May, so it's nice to be helping this much in June."

National League Roundup Zane Smith Scores Knockout and Shutout, 1-0 Jackson Says Major League Baseball Has Averted a Boycott by Blacks ROSEMONT, 111. 0B The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Monday that a threatened boycott of major league baseball has been called off because owners have shown signs they are dedicated to hiring more minorities in the front office. "There will not be a boycott, in part because the process is in motion," Jackson said at a meeting of Operation PUSH, the volunteer self-help organization that he founded.

Jackson said there have been several encouraging developments since he threatened a baseball boycott last month. He cited the recent promotions of former players Garry Maddox in Philadelphia and John Roseboro in Los Angeles. Jackson also mentioned the hiring of a consulting firm headed by former Army Secretary Clifford Alexander to develop affirmative action plans for each of the 26 clubs. But Jackson also claimed that some losing teams have failed to change managers this season so they could avoid the issue of minority hiring. He said the teams haven't fired their managers "because they would have to make this big public judgment under the scope of scrutiny." The issue of minorities moving into front-office positions was highlighted in April when then-Dodger vice president Al Campanis said during a live television interview that blacks "may not have the necessities" to manage major league teams.

After meeting with baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth and National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle, Jackson set a July 4 deadline for the baseball plan. He also put NFL and National Basketball Assn. owners on notice that he expected any settlement with baseball to become a model for pacts with the remaining professional leagues. lead, with Keith Hughes' ground-rule double over the center-field fence snapping a 4-4 tie. Pittsburgh hurt its own cause with a wild pitch by Barry Jones (2-2) and a passed ball by Junior Ortiz in the inning.

"I finally have a batting average now," said Hughes, who was acquired from the New York Yankees this month in the trade for Mike Easier. "I've waited a long time for a batting average." In the nightcap, Mike Schmidt and Darren Daulton each doubled in two first-inning runs, and Wally Ritchie from Hoover High School in Glendale pitched three innings of perfect relief for his first career save. Doug Bair (2-0) got the win, which enabled the Phillies to climb out of the cellar in the East. St. Louis 8, New York 7 Ozzie Smith singled home Vince Coleman in the 11th inning at New York to help the division-leading Cardinals hold back the surging Mets, who had won 7 of 10.

Coleman opened the 11th by drawing a four-pitch walk from Jesse Orosco (1-6) and moved to second with his 50th stolen base. Smith singled to right to give the Cardinals, who trailed 7-3, their sixth victory in seven games against the defending World Series champions this year. Chicago 9, Montreal 5 Paul Noce and Dave Martinez highlighted the Cubs' 20-hit attack at Montreal with four hits apiece to support Les Lancaster in his first major league win. Noce and Martinez both went 4 for 5 and Jerry Mumphrey collected three hits and three RBIs. Lancaster (1-0) was making his second start in the majors.

After a 37-minute delay because of a power failure, the Cubs took a 4-0 lead in the first inning and increased it to 9-0 in the fifth. From Times Wire Services Zane Smith recorded his second shut out at Candlestick Park this season Monday by throwing a five-hitter to out-duel Mark Grant and give the Atlanta Braves a 1-0 win over the Giants at San Francisco. In addition, Smith put umpire Billy Williams out of the game when the two collided on a play at home plate in the fifth inning. Williams, who was knocked unconscious, suffered a broken right leg on the play. Smith (8-4) retired the first 10 batters he faced and went on to defeat the Giants for the fifth time in six career decisions.

Earlier this season, he won, 2-0, with a four-hitter. Gerald Perry's one-out single in the seventh inning scored Dion James, who beat out a bunt and went to second on a sacrifice, with the game's only run. That was good enough to beat Grant (1-2), who allowed three hits and one intentional walk in eight innings. Scott Garrelts pitched the ninth. "I do well here because I'm a sinkerball pitcher, Smith said.

"The grass here helps a great deal because it slows the ball down enough for my infielders to make the plays." Said Grant: "It's awfully tough looking up at the scoreboard and seeing you've only given up three hits and you end up losing, 1-0." Said San Francisco Manager Roger Craig: "We hit the ball harder than they did and they won the game. "That is one of the best-pitched games we have had all year. I hope I can get pitching like that the rest of the year." Williams was knocked temporarily unconscious by Smith as the pitcher tagged out San Francisco's Joel Youngblood on an unsuccessful squeeze play.

"I've been around this stadium a long time and I've seen a lot of things but this is an unusual thing for me," Phillie Manager Lee Elia said.
