Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 2, Red Sox 1 at California (night game):
A double by Jarvis Tatum and single by Sandy Alomar in the 16th inning brought the Angels a 2-1 victory over the Red Sox in a four-hour, 14-minute game. Dave LaRoche, called up from Hawaii (Pacific Coast), made his the first major league appearance, retiring Carl Yastrzemski on a grounder with two men on base in the top half of the 16th, and gained the decision. Ray Culp, who started for the Red Sox, struck out the first six batters to face him, tying the modern major league record. The feat had been accomplished only one previously since 1900, by John Hiller of the Tigers on August 6, 1968.

White Sox 9, Tigers 5 at Detroit (night game):
Led by Syd O'Brien and Ed Herrmann, who drove in three runs apiece, the White Sox beat the Tigers, 9-5, to snap a four-game losing streak. The White Sox bunched two singles, a double by Carlos May, sacrifice fly by O'Brien and homer by Herrmann for four runs in the second inning. Luis Aparicio homered and Herrmann batted in another run with a single in the fifth. The Tigers, who scored three runs in the third, tightened the game when Jim Northrup and Bill Freehan hit consecutive homers in the sixth, but the White Sox iced the verdict with three runs in the seventh on a single by O'Brien with the bases loaded and a sacrifice fly by Bobby Knoop.

Yankees 5, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Yankees scored three unearned runs in the ninth inning and gained a 5-5 tie with the Brewers in a game that was stopped by rain before the clubs could go into overtime. The Brewers' first three runs in the third inning also were unearned. Bobby Bolin homered in the seventh. Frank Tepedino started the Yankee ninth with a single, Horace Clarke was safe on a fielder's choice, Jerry Kenney singled to load the bases and the tying runs followed on errors by John Kennedy and Tommy Harper.

Braves 7, Cubs 6 at Chicago (day game):
A homer by Hank Aaron in the 10th inning for his fourth hit of game carried the Braves to a 7-6 victory over the Cubs. Aaron batted in a run with a single in the first and then singled again ahead of a homer by Orlando Cepeda in the sixth. Aaron and Rico Carty, who hit safely in his 29th straight game, each rapped RBI singles in the seventh, but a homer by Johnny Callison with a man on base tied the score at 6-6 in the Cubs' half.

Expos 3, Mets 0 at New York (night game):
Tom Seaver's string of six straight victories this year and 16 in a row over two seasons came to an end when the Expos defeated the Mets, 3-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Dan McGinn. Seaver allowed eight hits and was doomed to defeat when Jim Fairey smashed a homer in the second inning.

Pirates 4, Reds 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Bob Veale yielded only three hits, struck out nine and retired 19 men in a row at one stretch of his performance while pitching the Pirates to a 4-1 victory over the Reds. The run off the lefthander scored in the second inning when Lee May singled and Hal McRae doubled. Willie Stargell tied the score with a homer in the fourth and the Pirates then broke away with two runs in the fifth on a single by Richie Hebner, double by Bill Mazeroski, sacrifice bunt by Veale and sacrifice fly by Freddie Patek. Bob Robertson batted in the final run in the eighth.

Giants 6, Padres 5 at San Diego (night game):
Dick Dietz, who drove in three runs with a homer and single, turned around and bunted safely in the 14th inning to enable the Giants to defeat the Padres, 6-5. Ken Henderson walked ahead of the slugging catcher's bunt. Tito Fuentes then sacrificed and when Nate Colbert fumbled a grounder by Bob Burda, Henderson crossed the plate with the winning run. The Giants appeared to have won the game in the 10th when they scored three runs, but a homer by Ollie Brown sparked the tying rally by the Padres.

Cardinals 3, Phillies 0 at St. Louis (night game):
Dick Allen beat his former teammates by smashing a homer with two men on base in the ninth inning to give the Cardinals a 3-0 victory over the Phillies. Steve Carlton and Jim Bunning exchanged ciphers until Leron Lee doubled, Lou Brock was handed an intentional pass and Allen broke up the game with his circuit clout.
