Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Brewers 10, Red Sox 4 (day game) / Red Sox 3, Brewers 0 at Boston (day game):
Scoring six unearned runs in the ninth inning, the Brewers ended a seven-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the Red Sox came back behind the pitching of Gary Peters to win the nightcap, 3-0. Rico Petrocelli homered with two men on base for the Red Sox in the first inning of the lidlifter. The Brewers sent 11 men to bat in the ninth and counted their six runs on four hits, one walk, three errors and a wild pitch. Peters pitched a four-hitter in the second game and had the support of homers by George Scott and Mike Andrews.

Indians 6, White Sox 5 at Cleveland (day game):
Tommy John, who was tagged for 10 hits, including two homers, in 4 2/3 innings, was handed his fifth straight defeat when the Indians beat the White Sox, 6-5. An error by the White Sox southpaw led to two unearned runs for the Indians in the first inning. After a single by Tony Horton and double by Roy Foster plated two more runs in the third, Horton and Ray Fosse hit homers to wind up the Tribe's scoring in the sixth. The White Sox had a homer by Carlos May.

Orioles 9, Royals 3 at Kansas City (day game):
With two out, Paul Blair and Brooks Robinson homered in the first inning as the Orioles exploded for five runs to ease their way to a 9-3 victory over the Royals. Don Buford led off with a single and Boog Powell walked with two away before Blair connected for the circuit. Brooks Robinson followed with his homer and the Orioles then added their fifth run on two walks and a single by Jim Palmer. Lou Piniella hit a two-run homer for the Royals.

Twins 4, Tigers 3 at Minnesota (day game):
The eight-game winning streak of the Tigers came to an end with a 4-3 loss to the Twins. Tony Oliva and Rich Reese homered for the Twins in the fourth inning and Mickey Stanley hit one for the Tigers in the sixth. The Tigers tied the score at 3-3 with two runs in the ninth on a single by Willie Horton, triple by Jim Northrup and sacrifice fly by Norm Cash. In the Twins half, Oliva singled and reached second when Al Kaline overran the ball in right field. Harmon Killebrew then singled to give the Twins their victory.

A's 3, Yankees 0 at New York (day game):
Chuck Dobson allowed only three hits and pitched the Athletics to a 3-0 victory over the Yankees. A double by Don Mincher and single by Dave Duncan gave Dobson enough to win, but the A's added two unearned runs in the fourth. Sal Bando, making his reappearance in the starting lineup after being sidelined by a hand injury, walked, Dick Green doubled and Reggie Jackson was passed intentionally to load the bases. Duncan flied out and when Thurman Munson dropped the throw to the plate after the catch, Bando was safe on the error. Dobson doubled to add the final run.

Angels 5, Senators 3 at Washington (night game):
The Angels rapped George Brunet, their former teammate, for nine hits and four runs before routing the lefthander in the fifth inning and defeated the Senators, 5-3. Jim Spencer drove in two runs with a pair of singles. Joe Azcue accounted for the Angels' last run with a homer in the ninth. Frank Howard homered for the Senators, who threatened to overtake the Angels in the ninth, but Paul Doyle saved the game by inducing Ed Stroud to ground into a double play with the bases loaded.

Cubs 11, Astros 5 at Chicago (day game):
Ernie Banks, Glenn Beckert and Billy Williams walloped homers as the Cubs defeated the Astros, 11-5, for their ninth straight victory. Beckert, who collected four hits, drove in three runs. Banks accounted for four runs, hitting his homer with two men on base in the third inning and picking up his fourth RBI with a double in the eighth. Jim Wynn had a homer for the Astros.

Dodgers 1, Mets 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
The Mets, who had not scored for 29 consecutive innings, were victims of a second straight 1-0 loss to the Dodgers. Claude Osteen, who pitched for the Dodgers, had not received any scoring help from his teammates for 25 innings until they counted off Nolan Ryan in the third. Billy Grabarkewitz was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a sacrifice by Osteen and crossed the plate on a single by Maury Wills.

Pirates 8, Braves 7 at Pittsburgh (day game):
For the the second time in one week, Willie Stargell smashed a homer over the right field roof at Forbes Field and provided the Pirates with an 8-7 victory over the Braves. Rico Carty homered for the Braves, who went ahead, 7-4, with three runs in the seventh inning on a walk, double by Carty and singles by Tony Gonzalez and Bob Priddy. In the Bucs' half, Freddie Patek tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Matty Alou. Richie Hebner doubled and crossed the plate on a single by Roberto Clemente. Then with two out, Stargell hit his drive over the roof. The feat had been accomplished only 18 times, but seven times by Stargell, in the park's history.

Phillies 1, Padres 0 at San Diego (night game):
Deron Johnson homered in the fourth inning for the game's only run as the Phillies defeated the Padres, 1-0. Jim Bunning held the Padres to three hits for 8 1/3 innings before tiring and yielding the mound to Dick Selma, who earned the save by retiring the last two batters.

Expos 7, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
The Expos rallied for six runs in the ninth inning, three scoring on a bases-loaded double by Bobby Wine, to defeat the Giants, 7-3. Juan Marichal, who had been ill with an ear infection and allergic reaction, made his first start of the season for the Giants and pitched five innings before leaving with a 2-0 lead on runs batted in by Bobby Bonds with a homer and a single. Hal Lanier hit his first homer since September 5, 1966, to add a run to the Giants' total in the sixth. The Expos, after picking up a tally in the seventh, began the ninth with a pinch-double by Ron Brand and scoring single by Gary Sutherland. When Ron Fairly singled with two out, Bonds booted the ball in center field, allowing Sutherland to score the tying run. Don McMahon, taking over the mound for the Giants, issued three straight passes to force in the leading run and Wine then wrapped it up with his double.

Reds 3, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (night game):
A homer by Bobby Tolan with one on in the seventh inning enabled the Reds to defeat the Cardinals, 3-2. Pete Rose singled and Tommy Helms doubled for the Reds' run in the first. Helms walked ahead of Tolan's homer. The Cardinals, who picked up a run in their half of the seventh, threatened in the ninth. Jose Cardenal doubled, leading to the removal of Jim Merritt. With Wayne Granger pitching, Cardenal moved up on a long fly by Dick Allen and scored on an infield out by Joe Torre. When Joe Hague singled, Don Gullett took over and retired Jim Campbell for the final out.
