Today's scores and summaries:

A's 4, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (night game):
Bert Campaneris homered on the first pitch of the game and then hit the tie-breaking double in the 11th inning as the Athletics defeated the Orioles, 4-2. One out after Campy's leadoff homer, Rick Monday also hit for the circuit. The Orioles pulled even with round-trippers by Clay Dalrymple and Don Buford in the sixth. Dick Green was hit by a pitch in the 11th and scored on Campy's two-bagger. After a sacrifice by Mudcat Grant, Reggie Jackson also doubled to drive in an insurance run.

White Sox 6, Senators 0 at Chicago (night game):
Tommy John held the Senators to two hits and pitched the White Sox to a 6-0 victory. Syd O'Brien gave John the only run that he needed by hitting his first homer in a White Sox uniform in the third inning. That was the lone hit off George Brunet until the Pale Hose erupted for their other runs in the seventh. Singles by Luis Aparicio and Carlos May, a sacrifice and a single by Duane Josephson accounted for two tallies. After O'Brien singled, Dick Such replaced Brunet. On Such's first pitch, Ken Berry hit a homer to drive in the last three runs.

Brewers 4, Indians 1 at Cleveland (night game):
Powered by Russ Snyder, who smashed a grand-slam homer, the Brewers ended their string of 17 defeats in road games by beating the Indians, 4-1. Three walks set the stage for Snyder's slam off Rich Hand in the eighth inning. The Indians picked up their run off Marty Pattin in the home half on a walk, a wild pitch and a single by Eddie Leon.

Angels 5, Tigers 2 at Detroit (night game):
Jim Fregosi belted two homers, plus a single, and Billy Cowan cracked a homer, double and single to pace the Angels' attack in a 5-2 victory over the Tigers. Fregosl started the scoring with a round-tripper in the first inning and Cowan broke a 1-1 tie with his blast in the fourth. Fregosi homered again in the fifth. Cowan doubled and scored in the sixth. Fregosi's single helped set up the Angels' final tally in the seventh. Willie Horton hit a homer for the Tigers.

Yankees 5, Royals 0 at Kansas City (night game):
The Royals were pinned with their first shutout of the season when they collected only five hits off Fritz Peterson and lost to the Yankees, 5-0. Two unearned runs in the third inning decided the outcome. Jerry Kenney homered for the last run in the ninth.

Twins 5, Red Sox 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Leo Cardenas had a perfect night at bat with four hits to spark the Twins to a 5-2 victory over the Red Sox. A single by Cardenas set up the Twins' initial run in the second inning. A single by Tony Oliva, double by Brant Alyea and single by Cardenas added two tallies in the fifth. A homer by Tom Satriano in the sixth and singles by Rico Petrocelli, Satriano and Mike Fiore in the seventh moved the Red Sox within one run, but the Twins pulled away in the eighth with RBI singles by George Mitterwald and Rod Carew.

Cubs 2, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Don Kessinger, who arrived late and entered the game in the second inning after getting a weekend pass on military duty, drove in a run with a double in the seventh to give the Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. Ken Holtzman, who pitched the route for the Cubs, had trouble in the first inning, loading the bases with one out, but the lefthander escaped with only one run scoring on a forceout by Andy Kosco. Jim Hickman tied the score with a homer in the second. Billy Williams walked to open the seventh, advanced on a sacrifice and crossed the plate on Kessinger's two-bagger.

Expos 7, Astros 6 at Montreal (night game):
John Bateman hit a three-run homer for the second time in two games to lead the Expos to a 7-6 victory over the Astros. Coco Laboy batted in one run with a single in the first inning before Bateman belted his homer. The Astros came back to tie the score at 5-5 in the fifth, but the Expos picked up a tally in their half and added what proved to be the winning run in the sixth when Laboy hit a sacrifice fly for his second RBI of the game.

Mets 8, Braves 1 at New York (night game):
Tommie Agee cracked four hits, including two homers, and Mike Jorgensen also connected for the circuit as the Mets defeated the Braves, 8-1. Agee accounted for the first run of the game with a round-tripper in the fourth. The Mets added another tally in that stanza on singles by Cleon Jones and Dave Marshall, around a stolen base. Agee hit two singles and scored both times as the Mets built up a 5-1 lead before their last three runs came in the eighth on a single by Wayne Garrett and successive homers by Jorgensen and Agee. Jorgensen delivered as a pinch-hitter for Gary Gentry, who gave up the Braves' lone run on a circuit clout by Orlando Cepeda in the sixth inning.

Reds 3, Phillies 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Tony Perez, who had a perfect night at the plate, hit his 23rd homer of the season with a man on base in the fourth inning to send the Reds on their way to a 3-1 victory over the Phillies. Wayne Simpson, who gave up eight hits and walked five, but struck out 11, was deprived of a shutout when the Phillies scored in the third on a walk, wild pickoff throw, a balk and a single by Larry Bowa. After Perez put the Reds ahead with his homer following a single by Bobby Tolan in fourth, the Reds waited until the ninth before posting their last run on a double by Jimmy Stewart and single by Tommy Helms.

[DH] Pirates 2, Padres 0 (night game) / Padres 5, Pirates 2 at San Diego (night game):
After succumbing to the no-hit pitching of Dock Ellis in the first game, 2-0, the Padres came back to beat the Pirates in second half of a twi-night doubleheader, 5-2. Danny Coombs, who pitched the nightcap for the Padres, turned in only the second complete game of his major league career. Nate Colbert hit two triples for the Padres and Al Ferrera smashed a homer.

Cardinals 4, Giants 1 at San Francisco (night game):
Bob Gibson hit his first homer of the season and also doubled, bringing his batting average to .368, while pitching the Cardinals a to 4-1 victory over the Giants. Doubles by Lou Brock and Jose Cardenal, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Carl Taylor gave the Cardinals two runs in the first inning off Skip Pitlock, making his first major league appearance. Gibson homered in the second. The Giants' run came on a single by Tito Fuentes, a walk, balk and infield out by John Stephenson in the seventh.
