Orioles 2, Angels 1 at Baltimore (night game):

Red Sox 7, White Sox 6 at Chicago (night game):
Bill Melton's second error of the game allowed Scott to score with two out in the 14th inning and handed the Red Sox a 7-6 victory over the White Sox. The Red Sox fell behind, 5-0, before starting their comeback with a freak grand slam by Rico Petrocelli in the fourth inning. After a single by Mike Andrews, a pass to Carl Yastrzemski and an error by Melton loaded the bases, Petrocelli hit a long fly that bounced off Tommy McCraw's glove into the right field bullpen. Ken Berry put the White Sox ahead again with a homer in the seventh, but Yastrzemski walked in the ninth and Tony Conigliaro hit for the circuit to tie the score. In the 14th.
