Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Indians 0 at Baltimore (night game):
Five singles were all that the Indians managed to get off Jim Hardin in losing to the Orioles, 7-0. Chico Salmon alone almost equaled the Indians' hit total, rapping four singles for the Orioles. Salmon set up one run and scored two. Boog Powell accounted for two RBIs with a sacrifice fly and a single.

Senators 7, Red Sox 5 at Boston (night game):
Making his first major league start, vet reliever Joe Grzenda yielded only three hits and, with the ninth-inning aid of Casey Cox, pitched the Senators to a 7-5 victory over the Red Sox. Two errors, a triple by Tony Conigliaro and an infield out accounted for three Red Sox runs in the first inning. But Grzenda then pitched hitless ball until the ninth when Carl Yastrzemski singled and Conigliaro homered with one away. Cox retired the last two batters. The Senators scored five runs in the first, two on a double by Paul Casanova. Aurelio Rodriguez and Ed Stroud, who drove in one run apiece with singles, added RBIs in the sixth, Rodriguez with a homer and Stroud with a single after Casanova hit his second double of the game.

Angels 4, A's 2 at California (night game):
Ken McMullen homered with a man on base in the second inning and Bill Voss doubled in two more runs in the seventh to give the Angels a 4-2 victory over the Athletics. Reggie Jackson homered for the A's. Andy Messersmith, making his first relief appearance of the season for the Angels, pitched the last 1 1/3 innings and struck out all four batters he faced.

Tigers 3, Yankees 0 at Detroit (night game):
A homer by Willie Horton with two men on base in the ninth inning powered the Tigers to a 3-0 victory over the Yankees in a four-hit duel between Earl Wilson and Mel Stottlemyre, who was the loser although pitching the distance for the first time this season. Horton, who had three of the Tigers' hits, smashed his homer after Gates Brown walked, Al Kaline sacrificed and the Yankees elected to hand an intentional pass to Norm Cash.

White Sox 3, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
The relief work of Wilbur Wood, who gave up a run-scoring single, but then retired the last eight batters in succession, enabled the White Sox to defeat the Royals, 3-1. Ossie Blanco, a first baseman-ontfielder from Tucson (Pacific Coast), batted in one run for the White Sox with a single for his first major league hit. Wood relieved Jerry Janeski after a walk and a single by Pat Kelly put runners on first and third with one out in the seventh inning. Paul Schaal singled to plate the Royals' run.

Twins 6, Brewers 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Jim Kaat, who helped himself with two singles, pitched the Twins to a 6-2 victory over the Brewers. Cesar Tovar homered for the Twins, while the Brewers picked up their runs on round-trippers by Danny Walton and Tommy Harper. Kaat drove in a run with a single in the second inning and scored from first base when a pop fly by Rod Carew fell safe for a single in center field. Kaat also singled and scored in the seventh on singles by Carew and Tony Oliva.

Braves 5, Astros 3 at Atlanta (night game):
Bob Tillman homered with Rico Carty on base in the sixth inning to provide the Braves' winning margin in a 5-3 victory over the Astros. Norm Miller accounted for the Astros' runs with a homer in the first inning. The Braves got one back on a triple by Felix Millan and a single by Hank Aaron in their half and tied the score in the fourth when Mike Lum singled, Aaron walked, Carty singled and Orlando Cepeda doubled. Carty doubled ahead of Tillman's decisive round-tripper.

Cubs 6, Pirates 3 at Chicago (day game):
Ron Santo and Jim Hickman batted in two runs apiece to support Ken Holtzman's pitching as the Cubs defeated the Pirates, 6-3. Santo doubled to drive a run across in the first inning and Hickman followed with a homer. Santo singled for another RBI when the Cubs added three runs in the fifth. Manny Sanguillen and Bob Robertson homered for the Pirates.

Phillies 3, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
Tony Taylor hit an inside-the-park homer with two men on base in the ninth inning to give the Phillies a 3-2 victory over the Expos. Del Bates singled to open the stanza and when Jim Hutto grounded to Coco Laboy, both runners were safe on the third baseman's wild throw, trying to start a double play. Byron Browne then hit a single that Rusty Staub trapped in right field. Hutto held up, thinking the catch had been made, and Browne passed him on the base paths and was called out. Taylor made up for the blunder with his drive, circling the bases when center fielder Adolfo Phillips crashed into the wall.

Mets 5, Cardinals 1 at New York (night game):
Ray Sadecki scattered seven hits and Ron Swoboda drove in four runs with a pair of bases-loaded singles to lead the Mets to a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals. Sadecki's complete game was the first for the lefthander since twirling the distance for the Giants last September 1. His victory was only the second in eight decisions against the Cardinals since they traded him away in May, 1966.

[DH] Padres 8, Reds 1 (night game) / Padres 4, Reds 1 at San Diego (night game):
Cito Gaston hammered six straight hits, including two triples and a homer, as the Padres shocked the Reds in a doubleheader, 8-1 and 4-1. Nate Colbert smashed two homers in the first game, each following a triple by Gaston. Ollie Brown also homered to account for the Padres' last three runs. Gaston hit his homer with two men on base in the first inning to start the Padres' scoring in the second game. Gaston's sixth straight hit was a single in the third, leading to the Padres' final run on a single by Ramon Webster and an error by Tommy Helms.

Dodgers 19, Giants 3 at San Francisco (night game):
The Dodgers tied Los Angeles club records for most hits and runs in one game while breezing to a 19-3 victory over the Giants. Claude Osteen and his batterymate, Tom Haller, each collected four of the Dodgers' 20 hits. Osteen, who had a homer, double and two singles, drove in four runs. Jim Lefebvre also had four RBIs with a single, double and sacrifice fly. Billy Grabarkewitz scored five runs and Willie Crawford crossed the plate four times.
