Today's scores and summaries:

Twins 4, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (day game):
A two-out double by Harmon Killebrew, scoring Minnie Mendoza in the eighth inning, broke a 2-2 tie and sent the Twins on their way to a 4-2 victory over the Orioles. George Mitterwald homered with a man on base to give the Twins a 2-1 lead in the second, but Boog Powell hit for the circuit to tie the score in the sixth. Mendoza, batting for Jim Perry, singled with one out in the eighth. After Cesar Tovar was retired, Leo Cardenas singled, Mendoza stopping at second. Killebrew followed with his double. Another run was forced home when Tony Oliva was passed intentionally and Brant Alyea was hit by a pitch.

Angels 8, Red Sox 4 at Boston (day game):
Breaking a tie with three unearned runs in the seventh inning, the Angels posted an 8-4 victory over the Red Sox, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak. Rico Petrocelli drove in the Red Sox runs with a homer in the first and sacrifice fly in the third. The Angels came back to tie the score and then broke away in the seventh with three runs on two errors, a double by Jim Fregosi and single by Alex Johnson. Roger Repoz homered in the ninth to add the final tally.

White Sox 3, Tigers 2 at Chicago (night game):
With two out in the eighth inning, an intentional pass backfired on the Tigers when the White Sox scored two runs on singles by Ed Herrmann and Bobby Knoop to gain a 3-2 victory. Tommy McCraw led off the stanza with a single, but Carlos May grounded out and Syd O'Brien struck out. The Tigers then handed a pass to Gail Hopkins to get at Herrmann, who wrecked the move with a single, tying the score. Knoop followed with a single to drive in the winning run.

Royals 4, Indians 3 at Kansas City (night game):
Breaking up a four-hour, 58-minute game, Jackie Hernandez singled with two out in the 17th inning, scoring Jim Rooker, to give the Royals a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Jerry Adair opened the 17th with a single and was forced at second on a bunt by Rooker. Mike Hedlund then sacrificed, moving Rooker to second, and Hernandez followed with his winning hit.

Yankees 7, Brewers 6 at New York (day game):
Thurman Munson, who was charged with an error on an obstruction play that enabled the Brewers to take the lead in the eighth inning, atoned for his mistake with the winning single as the Yankees rallied for three runs in the ninth to gain a 7-6 victory. Munson collided with Ted Savage during a rundown play between third and home and the umpires allowed Savage to score. Jerry McNertney homered in the ninth to send the Brewers in front, 6-4. However, in the Yankees' half, Jerry Kenney singled and Bobby Murcer hit for the circuit to tie the score. Roy White doubled and after an intentional pass to Jim Lyttle with one out, Munson looped his single.

A's 6, Senators 3 at Washington (day game):
Consecutive homers by Reggie Jackson and Sal Bando in the fifth inning capped the Athletics' attack in a 6-3 victory over the Senators. Frank Howard homered for the Nats in the seventh.

Braves 4, Cubs 2 at Atlanta (night game):
Pat Jarvis pitched a three-hitter and Rico Carty extended his batting streak to 22 games with a single, double and homer as the Braves defeated the Cubs, 4-2. Felix Millan also homered for the Braves and Billy Williams hit safely in his 16th straight game, rapping a double in the first inning. Ron Santo drove in both of the Cubs' runs with a double in the second and homer in the ninth. Losing pitcher Ken Holtzman and Manager Leo Durocher of the Cubs were ejected from the game in the sixth as result of fiery arguments with umpires over two pitches thrown to Jarvis. Both were called balls.

Reds 7, Pirates 2 at Cincinnati (day game):
Jim McGlothlin not only pitched a six-hitter, but tripled with the bases loaded to seal the Reds' 7-2 victory over the Pirates. Al Oliver, who had a homer and single, drove in both of the Pirates' runs. The Reds broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning with a double by Bobby Tolan, an infield out and a sacrifice fly by Lee May. In the seventh, the Reds loaded the bases and scored one run on a wild pitch. Then, after an intentional pass to Bernie Carbo, McGlothlin lashed his triple.

Dodgers 7, Expos 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
The hitless relief work of Joe Moeller, who pitched the last 4 1/3 innings, enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Expos, 7-3. Moeller, making his first appearance of the season, took over for Alan Foster after the Expos scored three runs in the fifth and had men on first and third with two out. The Dodgers' attack was led by Wes Parker, who drove in three runs with a double after a single by Foster and two walks loaded the bases in the third.

Padres 5, Mets 4 at San Diego (day game):
The Padres, who had never defeated the Mets previously in San Diego since entering the N. L. in 1969, losing seven straight games, finally turned the trick with a 5-4 victory. The Padres scored four of their runs in the second inning. Doubles by Nate Colbert and Ollie Brown, together with a single by Ed Spiezio, accounted for the first two tallies. After Chris Cannizzaro singled, Don Cardwell replaced Jim McAndrew and two more runs counted on a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Campbell. Spiezio and Cannizzaro then doubled in the fourth to produce what proved to be the winning run.

Giants 7, Phillies 1 at San Francisco (day game):
Forming the Giants' slugging combo, Willie McCovey and Dick Dietz each hit his seventh homer of the season to mark a 7-1 victory over the Phillies. McCovey whacked his homer in the fourth inning after Ron Hunt was hit by a pitch and Willie Mays walked. Mays singled in the sixth and scored on a double by McCovey. Dietz wrapped up the Giants' scoring with a three-run drive in the eighth. The Phillies' first and second-string catchers, Tim McCarver and Mike Ryan, suffered metacarpal fractures in successive innings.

Astros 5, Cardinals 3 at St. Louis (night game):
Jesus Alou, who was not in the starting lineup after starring at bat in the previous night's game, came up as a pinch-hitter in the tenth inning and delivered a payoff single as the Astros defeated the Cardinals, 5-3. Joe Hague and Dick Allen homered for the Cardinals. In the tenth, Joe Morgan doubled for the Astros and scored the tie-breaking run on Alou's single. After two out, Denis Menke also singled to send Alou across the plate with an insurance run.
