Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 7, White Sox 5 at Boston (night game):
Reliever Vicente Romo broke a 5-5 tie with the first homer of his major league career and was the winner when the Red Sox defeated the White Sox, 7-5. After Romo's drive in the sixth, the Red Sox added an unearned run to clinch the verdict.

Angels 3, Orioles 2 at California (night game):
Alex Johnson, who figured in the scoring of all the Angels' runs, homered in the seventh inning to provide the deciding marker in a 3-2 victory over the Orioles. Johnson walked with the bases loaded to force in the Angels' first run and scored the second after reaching base on a rare error by Brooks Robinson. However, Robinson batted in both of the Orioles' runs with a double in the fourth inning.

Brewers 9, Tigers 7 at Milwaukee (night game):
An inside-the-park homer by Roberto Pena with the bases loaded in the first inning helped the Brewers beat the Tigers, 9-7, to snap a seven-game losing streak. Les Cain, who started for the Tigers, walked three batters to load the bases and gave up a run-scoring single by Ted Savage before the Pena hit to right-center field. Jim Northrup and Al Kaline collided going after the drive and the ball got past them as Pena circled the bases. The Tigers came back to take a 7-6 lead, but the Brewers won with a three-run rally in the eighth on a walk to Ted Kubiak, double by Danny Walton, an error and a single by Mike Hegan.

Twins 10, Yankees 6 at Minnesota (day game):
After failing to hold a 5-0 lead, the Twins five erupted for five runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Yankees, 10-6. The Twins' early scoring included a two-run homer by Rich Reese, who had four hits in the game. Cesar Tovar also hit a homer to tie the score at 6-0 in the seventh. Tony Oliva doubled, Harmon Killebrew was passed intentionally and Reese was safe on an error to load the bases. Jim Holt then singled, driving in two runs, and the Twins added their other tallies on singles by Leo Cardenas and Paul Ratliff.

A's 5, Indians 4 at Oakland (day game):
Don Mincher, who hit a sacrifice fly in the third inning when the Athletics took a 3-1 lead, homered with a man on base in the seventh inning to enable the A's to stand off the Indians, 5-4. After Mincher's blast, the Indians rallied for two runs on a double by Tony Horton in the eighth and added an unearned run in the ninth before Mudcat Grant finished saving the game.

Senators 3, Royals 2 at Washington (day game):
The Senators' first three batters in the game produced three runs and that was enough to beat the Royals, 3-2. Ed Brinkman led off with a double, took third on a safe bunt by Wayne Comer and scored on a wild pitch. Frank Howard followed with a homer. Bob Oliver batted in the Royals' runs with a double and a homer.

Phillies 7, Braves 5 at Atlanta (night game):
The Phillies' extra-base attack, including homers by Larry Hisle, Tony Taylor and Byron Browne, produced a 7-5 victory over the Braves. Hisle homered in the third and Taylor connected with a man on base when the Phillies added three runs in the fourth. The Braves rallied to tie the score in the sixth, scoring one run on an infield out by Orlando Cepeda with the bases loaded and three on a homer by Tony Gonzalez. A walk to Ron Stone, double by Taylor and triple by Denny Doyle sent the Phillies ahead again, 6-4, in the eighth. Cepeda knocked in a run for the Braves with a double in their half, but Browne restored the Phillies' margin with a circuit clout in the ninth.

[DH] Padres 11, Cubs 4 (day game) / Cubs 8, Padres 7 at Chicago (day game):
Led by Steve Huntz, who hit a homer, double and single and walked twice, the Padres won the opener of a doubleheader, 11-4, but the Cubs came back to take the nightcap, 8-7, scoring their deciding run on a homer by Glenn Beckert in the eighth inning. Huntz walked and scored in the first inning of the lidlifter and followed with a two-run homer in second after an RBI single by Ed Spiezio. Jim Hickman hit a three-run homer in the third for the Cubs, who tied the score in the fourth on a walk by Jack Hiatt and triple by Don Kessinger, but the Padres went ahead to stay with a run in the fifth on a double by Huntz, single by Cito Gaston and sacrifice fly by Al Ferrara. The Cubs fell behind again, 4-0, in the nightcap, but doubles by Joe Decker and Kessinger, a single by Beckert and a homer by Ernie Banks produced the runs to tie the score. Billy Williams doubled and Banks singled for the go-ahead tally in the fifth. Then, with the bases loaded, Phil Gagliano delivered a pinch-single to drive in two runs. The Padres rallied to tie the score in the seventh before Beckert hit his homer.

Reds 5, Expos 4 at Cincinnati (night game):
Clawing their way back after the Expos took a 4-0 lead in the first inning, the Reds finally gained a 5-4 victory in the 10th when Lee May singled, Bernie Carbo doubled and Darrel Chaney singled to drive in the winning run. The Expos took their lead in the first on a solo homer by Rusty Staub and a three-run smash by John Bateman. The Reds picked up a run in their half of the first, added two in the third and tied the score on a homer by Bobby Tolan in the seventh.

Mets 4, Astros 3 at New York (day game):
Playing before 54,424, the largest crowd in the N. L. this season, the Mets rallied for three runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Astros, 4-3. Larry Dierker yielded only three hits in the first seven stanzas and held a 3-1 lead before Dave Marshall started the Mets' comeback with a one-out double. Pinch-runner Al Weis stopped at third on a single by Tommie Agee and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bud Harrelson. Cleon Jones tripled to drive in Agee with the tying run. Following an intentional pass to Art Shamsky, Ken Boswell bunted safely down the third base line as Jones crossed the plate with the deciding run.

Giants 13, Pirates 11 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Despite scoring in double figures for the first time this season, the Pirates lost to the Giants, 13-11. There were 35 hits in the game, 20 by the Pirates, but no homers. The Giants erupted for five runs in the fifth inning to take a 10-4 lead, but needed three more in the eighth to emerge with their victory. Dick Dietz singled one run across for his third RBI of the game and Tito Fuentes followed with a two-run single for what proved to be the deciding hit.

Dodgers 7, Cardinals 6 at St. Louis (night game):
Getting a fast start with four runs in the first inning, the Dodgers went on to defeat the Cardinals, 7-6. Billy Grabarkewitz tripled to account for two runs. After the Cardinals got back in the game with three runs in the third, the Dodgers scored twice in the fourth on a single by Claude Osteen, a walk to Maury Wills and singles by Willie Davis and Manny Mota. Willie Crawford then homered in the fifth to produce what proved to be the winning run. Joe Torre made his debut at third base for the Cardinals following the arrival of catcher Ted Simmons from Tulsa (American Association).
