Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Orioles 12, Senators 10 (night game) / Orioles 3, Senators 2 at Baltimore (night game):
After outslugging the Senators, 12-10, in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, the Orioles also won the second game, 3-2, in 13 innings. Mike Epstein staged a one-man show for the Senators in the opener, driving in eight runs with two homers and a single. One of his homers came with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. Boog Powell led the Orioles' attack with four hits and four RBIs. In the nightcap, Merv Rettenmund singled and Frank Robinson homered for the Orioles in the first inning. Homers by Paul Casanova in the fifth and Bernie Allen in the ninth enabled the Senators to send the game into overtime. In the 13th, Davey Johnson doubled and, after two out, Rettenmund singled to drive in the winning run.

Red Sox 7, Yankees 4 at Boston (night game):
Sonny Siebert pitched no-hit ball for eight innings and then was knocked out in the ninth, but the Red Sox defeated the Yankees. 7-4. Mike Andrews, Reggie Smith and Carl Yastrzemski homered for the Red Sox. Siebert limited the Yankees to three walks before Horace Clarke opened the ninth with a clean single to right-center field. Jerry Kenney doubled and Bobby Murcer singled to drive in two runs. When Roy White followed with a homer, Sparky Lyle replaced Siebert and retired three straight batters to receive credit for the save. Siebert pitched a no-hitter while with the Indians against the Senators June 10, 1966.

Brewers 5, Angels 2 at California (night game):
A homer by Phil Roof with a man on base in the sixth inning clinched the Brewers' 5-2 victory over the Angels. Singles by Max Alvis and Russ Snyder, around a sacrifice, produced the Brewers' initial run in the second inning. Bob Burda singled in the fourth and came around on a balk, a passed ball and a throwing error by catcher Joe Azcue. Burda singled again in the sixth, reached third on a single by Roberto Pena and scored when Jay Johnstone fumbled the ball in the outfield. Roof followed with his homer. Jim Fregosi, who singled to set up the Angels' first run, accounted for the second with a homer.

Indians 4, Tigers 2 at Cleveland (night game):
Although tagged for two homers, Sam McDowell allowed only two other hits and pitched the Indians to a 4-2 victory over the Tigers. Mickey Stanley led off the game with a circuit clout for the Bengals, but the Tribe got the matching run in the second on singles by Ray Fosse, Roy Foster and Chuck Hinton. After a homer by Jim Northrup put the Tigers ahead again in the fifth, the Indians loaded the bases in their half on three walks issued by Mickey Lolich and scored two runs on a single by Eddie Leon. An insurance run followed in the sixth on singles by Tony Horton, Hinton and Graig Nettles.

Royals 5, Twins 1 at Kansas City (night game):
Scattering seven hits, Dick Drago pitched the Royals to a 5-1 victory over the Twins. A two-base error by Bobby Floyd and a single by Rod Carew for his third hit of the game gave the Twins an unearned run in the eighth inning to deprive Drago of a shutout. Amos Otis rapped three hits for the Royals and Lou Piniella batted in two runs with a double and an infield out.

White Sox 4, A's 2 at Oakland (night game):
Joe Horlen, who pitched a six-hitter, entered the winning column for the first time since May 15 when the White Sox defeated the Athletics, 4-2. Gail Hopkins drove in three runs for the White Sox with a pair of singles and Carlos May scored three times after reaching base on a double and two walks. Don Mincher homered for the Athletics.

[DH] Braves 7, Astros 6 (night game) / Braves 4, Astros 2 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves marked the return of Ron Reed by sweeping over the Astros in a twi-night doubleheader, 7-6 and 4-2. Reed, who had been out of action since suffering a fractured shoulder in spring training, pitched the last six innings of the opener in relief of Mike McQueen and received credit for the victory. Rico Carty hit a two-run homer for the Braves and Bob Watson smacked a similar blow for the Astros. McQueen was lifted after walking two batters with none out in the fourth. Marty Martinez singled off Reed to drive in one run and Jesus Alou batted in two more with a double, sending the Astros ahead, 6-4, but Reed allowed only one more hit the rest of the way. Four walks and a grounder by Clete Boyer produced the tying run in the fifth and the Braves added the deciding run in the seventh when Orlando Cepeda walked and Boyer doubled. In the nightcap, Boyer scored the Braves' first run and batted in the second with a single. Hank Aaron then provided the winning blow, hitting a homer with a man on base in the fifth. Doug Rader accounted for the Astros' runs with a pair of homers.

Cardinals 5, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
Ted Simmons singled with the bases loaded in the 17th inning, driving in two runs, to give the Cardinals a 5-3 victory over the Cubs in the longest game in the N. L. so far this season. The Cardinals took an early 3-1 lead, but the Cubs picked up a run on a walk and singles by Willie Smith and Paul Popovich in the eighth and tied the score in the ninth when Jim Hickman tripled and Ron Santo lofted a sacrifice fly. Al Hrabosky, who pitched the last two innings for the Cardinals and struck out three of the six batters to face him, received credit for his first major league victory on Simmons' hit. Lou Brock opened the 17th with an infield hit, Vic Davalillo sacrificed and Dick Allen was passed intentionally. After Mike Shannon flied out, Jose Cardenal drew a pass to load the bases.

Dodgers 6, Reds 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
Bill Singer received credit for his second victory since recovering from an attack of hepatitis when the Dodgers defeated the Reds, 6-1. Singer pitched five innings before going out for a pinch-hitter. Jose Pena and Jim Brewer finished. Johnny Bench homered off Pena in the eighth to save the Reds from being shut out. The Dodgers had homers by Andy Kosco and Tom Haller.

Mets 13, Phillies 3 at New York (night game):
The Mets exploded for seven runs in the first inning and routed the Phillies, 13-3, as Tom Seaver gained his 10th victory of the season. The Mets sent 11 men to bat against Jim Bunning and collected eight hits in their big inning, all their runs scoring after two outs. Tommie Agee and Bud Harrelson led off with singles, but the next two batters were retired before the Mets began piling up their runs with a single by Dave Marshall, a safe bunt by Ken Boswell, a triple by Wayne Garrett, singles by Jerry Grote and Seaver and a double by Agee. Lowell Palmer then replaced Bunning and got the final out. Boswell batted in three of the Mets' remaining runs with a homer and a double. Garrett also hit a homer in the seventh inning to account for the final marker.

Pirates 8, Expos 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates cashed in on two triples by Dave Cash, who hit his second three-bagger with the bases loaded in the sixth inning, to defeat the Expos, 8-4. The Pirates ended a string of 21 scoreless stanzas by counting four times in the third with the aid of Cash's first triple and another by Manny Sanguillen. The Expos scored three runs in the fourth to chase Bob Moose and tied the score in the fifth on a triple by Mack Jones and an infield out by Jim Gosger. Singles by Bill Mazeroski and Matty Alou, around a pass to Freddie Patek, filled the bases in the sixth for Cash's tie-breaker. Cash then scored himself on a single by Bob Robertson.

Padres 6, Giants 3 at San Diego (night game):
The Padres broke a tie with three runs in the seventh inning to beat the Giants, 6-3, and hand Juan Marichal his sixth defeat against only three victories. Ivan Murrell opened the seventh with a single and took third on a single by Chris Cannizzaro, but was out at the plate on Ramon Webster's tap to Marichal. Al Ferrara batted for Ron Herbel and singled, scoring Cannizzaro. When Bobby Bonds fumbled the ball in right field, Webster also sped home. Ron Slocum followed with a single to drive in the last run.
