Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 9, Red Sox 8 at Boston (night game):
Frank Robinson, making up for his error in the first inning, capped the Orioles' comeback with a two-run double in the ninth to defeat the Red Sox, 9-8. In the first, Carl Yastrzemski homered with a man on base. Jerry Moses drove in two runs with a double and two tainted tallies scored on Robinson's error as the Red Sox took a 6-0 lead. The Orioles tied the game in the seventh when Curt Motton homered with two aboard and Chico Salmon connected with a man on base. The Red Sox went ahead again with a circuit clout by Tony Conigliaro in their half of the seventh and another run in the eighth. The Orioles then rallied to win in the ninth. Boog Powell doubled and scored on a single by Merv Rettenmund. Paul Blair also doubled, Rettenmund stopping at third, and Robinson followed with the winning double.

Twins 4, Brewers 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
Harmon Killebrew clouted a three-run homer in the fifth inning to break a 1-1 tie and enable the Twins to squeeze past the Brewers. 4-3. Jim Kaat was kayoed in the ninth when Tommy Harper hit for the circuit with a man on base, but Ron Perranoski retired the next three batters to record his 17th save.

A's 2, Royals 1 at Oakland (night game):
A homer by pinch-hitter Frank Fernandez in the ninth inning gave the Athletics a 2-1 victory over the Royals. Sal Bando homered in the fifth for the A's first run. The Royals tied the score with an unearned tally in the seventh.

Dodgers 4, Braves 2 at Atlanta (night game):
Hitting three homers in a game for only the second time this season, the Dodgers slugged their way to a 4-2 victory over the Braves. Wes Parker started the barrage with a solo swat in the fourth inning. Tom Haller singled and Bill Sudakis connected for the circuit in the fifth. Billy Grabarkewitz added the other round-tripper in the eighth. All three blows came off Phil Niekro, who accounted for one of the Braves' runs with his first homer of the year in the seventh. Niekro also scored the Braves' initial run in the third, crossing the plate when Rico Carty drew a pass from Alan Foster with the bases loaded.

Mets 9, Cubs 5 at Chicago (day game):
Three-run homers by Tommie Agee and Donn Clendenon powered the Mets to a 9-5 victory over the Cubs. The Mets, after trailing, 3-0, broke into the scoring column when Ken Boswell, Wayne Garrett and Jerry Grote singled in the fifth and Agee followed with his circuit clout. Singles by Garrett and Grote, together with a sacrifice fly by Tug McGraw, added a run in the seventh, but the Cubs picked up two unearned markers in their half to tie the score at 5-5. Cleon Jones and Art Shamsky singled for the Mets in the eighth. Clendenon, who had failed 10 straight times in pinch-hitting attempts, went to bat for Dave Marshall when Hank Aguirre replaced Fergie Jenkins on the mound for the Cubs. After taking two strikes, Clendenon lashed the next pitch for the tie-breaking homer. The Mets added an insurance run in the ninth inning.

Giants 13, Reds 6 at Cincinnati (night game):
Willie Mays smashed two homers and batterymates Rich Robertson and Dick Dietz whacked one apiece as the Giants piled up 17 hits to defeat the Reds, 13-6. Robertson was racked for five runs in the first inning, three scoring on a triple by Dave Concepcion, but the righthander survived and limited the Reds to three hits in the last eight frames. Tony Perez accounted for the Reds' last run with his 25th homer of the season in the seventh. Before the Reds' outburst in the first, the Giants had opened the game with three runs, including Mays' first homer. The Frisco crew exploded for six more runs in the third, added a tally in the sixth and got two more on circuit clouts by Mays and Dietz in the eighth. Roberston wrapped up the scoring with the first homer of his major league career in the ninth.

Astros 4, Padres 1 at Houston (night game):
Don Wilson, who had been ailing with tendinitis in his right shoulder, made his first start in 16 days for the Astros and turned in his first complete game of the season to defeat the Padres, 4-1. Cito Gaston homered for the Padres' run in the first inning. After Larry Stahl singled and was out trying to steal in the second, Wilson did not allow another baserunner until Al Ferrara singled in the ninth for the Padres' last hit. Bob Watson, who led the Astros with three singles, scored two runs and set up another. Joe Morgan homered for the final marker in the seventh inning.

[DH] Phillies 6, Expos 0 (night game) / Phillies 3, Expos 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Woodie Fryman pitched his first shutout of the season and Byron Browne batted in two runs in each game as the Phillies beat the Expos in a doubleheader, 6-0 and 3-2. Fryman yielded four hits in his whitewashing. Deron Johnson doubled to drive in two of the Phillies' runs in the first inning. Browne homered with a man on base in the seventh. Tony Taylor started the scoring for the Phillies in the nightcap with a round-tripper in the first. A homer by Mack Jones in the fourth and another run in the fifth on singles by Bobby Wine and Marv Staehle, around a sacrifice, gave the Expos a 2-1 lead, but Ron Stone singled for the Phillies in the sixth, Rick Joseph was safe on an error and Browne batted them home with a double.

[DH] Cardinals 6, Pirates 1 (night game) / Pirates 1, Cardinals 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Two rookies, Jerry Reuss of the Cardinals and Jim Nelson of the Pirates, starred on the mound in a split of a doubleheader, with the Cardinals winning the first game. 6-1, and the Pirates taking the second game, 1-0, in 10 innings. Reuss pitched a six-hitter and breezed to victory after the Cardinals exploded for five runs off Dock Ellis in the second inning. Nelson also pitched a six-hitter in the nightcap. After Mike Torrez worked nine innings for the Cardinals before going out for a pinch-hitter, Frank Linzy relieved in the tenth and was the loser on a single by Gene Alley, sacrifice by Freddie Patek and single by Matty Alou.
