Today's scores and summaries:

A's 10, Orioles 7 at Baltimore (night game):
The Athletics fired a barrage of five homers to shoot down the Orioles, 10-7. Dick Green started the A's bombardment with a three-run homer in the second inning. Reggie Jackson and Frank Fernandez each hit for the circuit with a man on base in the third. Bert Campaneris homered in the fifth and Don Mincher connected in the seventh. Although knocked out in the sixth, Catfish Hunter received credit for the victory and became the first 10-game winner in the A. L. this season. Don Buford batted in two runs for the Orioles with a homer and Merv Rettenmund accounted for three RBIs with a double and a homer.

Senators 12, White Sox 7 at Chicago (day game):
Smashing five homers, the Senators outslugged the White Sox, 12-7. The Senators scored four unearned runs in the first inning, two coming on a circuit clout by Aurelio Rodriguez. The White Sox forged ahead, 5-4, with Walt Williams contributing a homer, but Frank Howard hit a round-tripper with two men on base in the fourth and Mike Epstein followed with another boundary belt to put the Senators in front, 8-5. Jim French joined the bombardment in the seventh and Del Unser, who had four hits, added a homer in the eighth.

Indians 10, Brewers 6 at Cleveland (day game):
A seven-run explosion in the second inning propelled the Indians to a 10-6 victory over the Brewers. Ray Fosse ignited the outburst with a homer. Ted Uhlaender drove in two runs with a double and Vada Pinson plated a pair with a single. Danny Walton homered with a man on base for the Brewers in the first inning and Tommy Harper hit an inside-the-park homer with two aboard in the fourth to chase Phil Henningan. Dean Chance, who relieved and pitched 3 1/3 innings before going out for a pinch-hitter, received credit for his first victory since April 11.

Tigers 6, Angels 5 at Detroit (day game):
Capping a three-run rally in the eighth inning, pinch-runner Ike Brown scored on a wild pitch by Ken Tatum to bring the Tigers a 6-5 victory over the Angels. Al Kaline and Dick McAuliffe hit homers for the Tigers, but the Angels were able to take a 5-3 lead with the aid of four unearned runs. In the eighth, Mickey Stanley and Kaline hit singles to chase Tom Murphy. Tatum, relieving, yielded run-scoring singles by Willie Horton and Jim Northrup to tie the game. Then, after hitting Bill Freehan with a pitch to load the bases, Tatum uncorked his wild heave, allowing Brown to score.

Yankees 9, Royals 4 at Kansas City (night game):
Breaking a tight game apart, the Yankees erupted for five runs in the 12th inning and defeated the Royals, 9-4. Lou Piniella hit a homer for the Royals and Roy White whacked one for the Yankees to help effect a 4-4 tie in the regulation distance. The Yankees loaded the bases in the 12th on a walk, a single by White for his fifth hit of the game and an infield single by Danny Cater. Aurelio Monteagudo relieved and was greeted with a single by Curt Blefary, driving in two runs. Other tallies followed on Gene Michael's forceout of Blefary and a two-out triple by Horace Clarke.

Red Sox 6, Twins 4 at Minnesota (day game):
Coach George Thomas, starting his first game since going on the active list, rapped two doubles and a single and scored three runs to spark the Red Sox to a 6-4 victory over the Twins. Thomas doubled and scored on an infield out and a wild pitch in the first inning, but the Twins went ahead, 3-1, before Thomas doubled again in the sixth to ignite a four-run outburst. A single by Carl Yastrzemski, double by Reggie Smith and singles by Billy Conigliaro, Jerry Moses and Ray Culp were the other ingredients of the rally. Thomas singled for his third hit in the seventh and counted the final Boston run.

Cubs 7, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Ernie Banks, returning to lineup after missing 10 games because of a knee injury, smashed a homer in the second inning and singled in the fourth when the Cubs piled up six runs to defeat the Dodgers, 7-1. The Cubs' outburst in the fourth represented their biggest inning of the season. Paul Popovich, Billy Williams, Jim Hickman, Ron Santo and Banks hit singles to produce the first three runs of the outburst. After Santo scored on a grounder by Johnny Callison, Jack Hiatt smashed a homer and crossed the plate behind Banks.

Astros 5, Expos 2 at Montreal (night game):
Tommy Davis, who hit a double to spark the scoring of three runs in the first inning, smashed a homer with a man on base in the fifth to clinch the Astros' 5-2 victory over the Expos. Ron Fairly homered for the Expos.

Mets 4, Braves 1 at New York (night game):
Ray Sadecki pitched a five-hitter and Tommie Agee batted in two runs with a homer and double to lead the Mets to a 4-1 victory over the Braves. Agee hit for the circuit in the third inning. The Mets added their winning runs in the fourth on singles by Joe Foy, Duffy Dyer and Al Weis, a double by Agee and a single by Bud Harrelson. The Braves picked up their run in the eighth on singles by Tony Gonzalez and Bob Aspromonte, around an infield out.

Phillies 6, Reds 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
Deron Johnson batted in five runs with two homers in support of Jim Bunning, who gained his fourth straight victory for the Phillies by beating the Reds, 6-3. Johnson's first homer followed a single by Larry Bowa and a pass to Oscar Gamble in the opening frame. Gamble walked again ahead of Johnson's second homer in the sixth. Bunning joined in the scoring by hitting a single and crossing the plate on a double by Terry Harmon. The Reds' runs included the 20th homer of the season for Johnny Bench.

Pirates 7, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
Bob Robertson hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to wrap up the Pirates' 7-2 victory over the Padres. Willie Stargell started the Pirates' scoring with a round-tripper in the first inning and two more runs followed in the second on a double by Jose Pagan, single by Johnny Jeter and double by Bill Mazeroski. Matty Alou and Al Oliver singled in the fourth and Stargell walked before Robertson greeted reliever Tom Dukes with his jackpot wallop. Dave Campbell hit a homer for the Padres.

Giants 6, Cardinals 5 at San Francisco (day game):
The Cardinals' inability to score a runner from third base with nobody out resulted in a 6-5 loss to the Giants. After the Giants built up a 5-2 lead in the first two innings, Joe Torre homered for the Cardinals in the fifth. The Giants picked up what proved to be the deciding run in their half on a sacrifice fly by Hal Lanier with the bases loaded. Torre singled in the eighth and scored on a triple by Joe Hague. Don McMahon, the winner in relief, then stranded Hague at third by retiring Ted Simmons on a liner to Tito Fuentes, Julian Javier on a pop-up and pinch-hitter Vic Davalillo on a grounder.
