Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 2, Indians 1 at California (night game):
Although yielding only one run, Sam McDowell was charged with a defeat when the southpaw left the game on the short end of a 1-0 score and the Angels picked up another run off reliever Bob Miller to beat the Indians, 2-1. A single by Tommie Reynolds, passed ball and single by Sandy Alomar produced the tally off McDowell in the third inning. Jarvis Tatum followed Alomar with another single to make the run earned. McDowell suffered a cramp in his left thigh and turned the mound over to Miller, who gave up a run in the sixth on a pass to Ken McMullen and singles by Jim Spencer and Tom Egan. The Indians rallied for their marker in the ninth on singles by Larry Brown, Vada Pinson and Roy Foster.

Brewers 6, Orioles 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
The Brewers snapped their five-game losing streak by rapping five extra-base blows among their 10 hits, including a decisive homer by Danny Walton, to defeat the Orioles, 6-4. After a double by Ted Kubiak and single by Roberto Pena accounted for the first run in the second inning, Tommy Harper walked in the third, stole two bases and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ted Savage. Walton then doubled and Jerry McNertney tripled for another run. Harper doubled in the sixth and scored on a single by Savage. Walton followed with his winning homer.

Yankees 3, White Sox 1 at New York (day game):
Getting a six-hitter from John Cumberland, who pitched his first complete game of the season, the Yankees defeated the White Sox, 3-1. Cumberland gave up a run in the first inning on a walk to Walt Williams, a single by Carlos May and a sacrifice fly by Bill Melton. The Yankees went ahead with two in the second on singles by Danny Cater, Curt Blefary, Thurman Munson and Gene Michael. An extra run counted in the third on a single by Bobby Murcer, a stolen base and a single by Roy White.

Tigers 6, A's 4 at Oakland (day game):
Bat Day attracted the largest crowd in Oakland's history, 48,758, but the Athletics disappointed the throng by losing to the Tigers, 6-4. The A's took the lead with two unearned runs in the second inning, but Norm Cash homered for the Tigers with a man on base to tie the score in the fourth. Bill Freehan hit for the circuit to snap the deadlock in the fifth. The Tigers added two runs in the eighth before the A's came back with a pair on a round-tripper by Felipe Alou in their half. Freehan then closed out the scoring with his second homer of the game in the ninth.

Twins 4, Senators 2 at Washington (night game):
Harmon Killebrew batted in all four of the Twins' runs with a homer and a bases-loaded single to beat the Senators, 4-2, as Jim Perry continued his mastery of the capital city club. Perry's victory was his seventh straight over the Nats since April 29, 1967. Killebrew hit his homer following a single by Tony Oliva in the first inning and added his single after Perry singled, Cesar Tovar was hit by a pitch and Rick Renick walked in the fifth. Lee Maye hit a homer for the Senators.

Expos 12, Braves 4 at Atlanta (night game):
Rusty Staub smashed the first grand slam of his major league career as the Expos set a Montreal club record for the most runs in one inning, scoring seven times in the eighth, to cap a 12-4 victory over the Braves. Mike Lum hit a homer for the Braves, but the Expos had circuit clouts by John Boccabella and Coco Laboy to help produce a 5-4 lead before their big inning. A double by Don Hahn and Staub's grand slam were the Expos' only hits in their outburst, but they took advantage of three walks and two errors.

Giants 5, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
A homer by Willie McCovey with two men on base was the Giants' big blow in a 5-3 victory over the Cubs. Bob Heise singled in the third inning and Frank Johnson walked before Willie Mays rapped a two-out single to drive in the Giants' first run. McCovey then smashed his homer. Jack Hiatt batted in two of the Cubs' runs with a double in the sixth. Ron Santo doubled and Willie Smith singled for the other Cubs' run in the eighth, but the Giants added an insurance counter in the ninth on singles by Tito Fuentes and Johnson, around a sacrifice.

Reds 5, Mets 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
The battery of Jim Merritt and Johnny Bench proved a winning combination as the Reds defeated the Mets, 5-1. Merritt, in gaining his 11th victory, doled out six hits and did not issue a pass for eighth time in 14 starts. Hal McRae started the Reds' scoring with a homer in the second inning before Bench swung into action. The star catcher homered in the fourth, batted in two runs with a double in the eighth and scored the final tally on a single by Jimmy Stewart. Merritt was deprived of a shutout when Cleon Jones tripled and Donn Clendenon singled in the seventh.

Phillies 7, Astros 3 at Houston (night game):
Bullpen coach Doc Edwards, who was activated before the game because the Phillies were shorthanded for catchers, collected three hits and figured in the scoring of three runs to contribute to a 7-3 victory over the Astros. Edwards singled to set up a run in the second inning, drove in a run with another single in the fourth and beat out an infield chopper in the eighth when the Phillies iced the verdict with their final two tallies. In the previous frame, the Phillies broke a 2-2 tie when Ron Stone doubled, Byron Browne hit a scoring single and Larry Hisle added two runs with a homer.

Pirates 7, Dodgers 6 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates, who pulled off the first triple play of the major league season, completed their comeback with a run in the 12th inning to defeat the Dodgers, 7-6. The Dodgers were leading, 3-0, and had Manny Mota on second base and Willie Davis on first when Gene Alley grabbed a liner by Wes Parker on a short bounce to start the triple-killing in the third inning. Alley stepped on second to force Davis and threw to first to retire Parker. Mota then was caught before he could reach third and was run down, Al Oliver to Richie Hebner to Alley. Davis had four hits and drove in four runs. The Pirates, who had a homer by Roberto Clemente, tied the score at 6-6 in the ninth with two runs on singles by Matty Alou and Hebner, Clemente's forceout of Hebner and a double by Bob Robertson. In the 12th, Robertson led off with a single and was on second with two out when the Dodgers decided to pass Mazeroski. Jerry May then batted for Dave Giusti and singled to drive in the winning run.

Padres 5, Cardinals 4 at St. Louis (night game):
After a single by Jose Arcia in the ninth inning, a wild throw by Ted Simmons on a pickoff attempt and a wild pitch by Steve Carlton enabled the Padres to score the run that beat the Cardinals, 5-4. Two other San Diego runs, one in the first and one in the fourth, also were unearned on a pair of errors by Milt Ramirez. The Padres' other tallies were legitimate, scoring when Mike Corkins singled and Cito Gaston smashed a homer in the third inning.
