Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 4, Twins 2 at Chicago (night game):
Sacrifice flies by Bill Melton, Walt Williams and Duane Josephson enabled the White Sox to defeat the Twins, 4-2. Melton's fly produced the initial run in the first inning after Luis Aparicio singled and Syd O'Brien doubled. In the second, Rich McKinney reached second when Cesar Tovar dropped his fly in center field. After Ken Berry walked, Bob Miller singled to score McKinney. Berry stole third and crossed the plate on Williams' fly. Aparicio drew a pass in the fifth, stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by George Mitterwald and completed the journey home on Josephson's fly.

Tigers 7, Indians 1 at Detroit (night game):
Willie Horton drove in five runs with two homers and a single to supply the Tigers' power in a 7-1 victory over the Indians. Horton connected with two men on base in the first inning, added another round-tripper in the third and accounted for a fifth RBI with a single in the seventh when the Tigers scored their final three runs. Joe Niekro, pitching for the Bengals, had a two-hit shutout in the works until the Indians counted in the ninth on a single by Vada Pinson and double by Ray Fosse.

Angels 5, Royals 4 at Kansas City (night game):
The Angels turned in the A. L.'s first triple play of the season to mark a 5-4 victory over the Royals. With the Royals leading, 2-1, Paul Schaal singled in the fifth inning and stopped at second on a single by Cookie Rojas. Amos Otis grounded down the line to Chico Ruiz, who stepped on third base to start the triple killing via Sandy Alomar at second base and Billy Cowan at first. Having stopped the Royals' threat, the Angels erupted for four runs in the sixth, two scoring on a homer by Joe Azcue. Alomar stretched his hitting streak to 21 games by knocking in a run with a single and Jim Fregosi beat out an infield hit to drive in what proved to be the winning run. Bob Oliver homered for the Royals in the eighth.

Brewers 3, A's 2 at Milwaukee (night game):
Alter wasting five chances to win, the Brewers finally scored a run in the 15th inning and beat the Athletics, 3-2. Sal Bando homered with a man on base in the fourth to produce the A's tallies. The Brewers picked up a marker in their half and tied the score when Russ Snyder hit for the circuit in the fifth. Chuck Dobson, the A's seventh pitcher of the game, took the mound in the 15th and was the loser when Gus Gil doubled, Mike Hershberger walked and Dave May singled to drive in the winning run.

Orioles 12, Senators 2 at Washington (night game):
Frank Robinson smashed grand-slam homers in two successive times at bat and tied two major league records as the Orioles walloped the Senators, 12-2. The vet slugger connected off Joe Coleman in the fifth inning and off Joe Grzenda in the sixth to become only the third man in major league annals to hit bases-loaded homers and drive in a total of eight runs in two consecutive frames. Both times the Orioles filled the sacks exactly the same way with walks to Dave McNally and Paul Blair around a single by Don Buford. The jackpot wallops were the first for Robinson in the A. L., although he had five others while with the Reds in the N. L. Frank's feat overshadowed the batting of Buford, who had a homer and three singles for the Orioles. Rick Reichardt hit a pair of round-trippers for the Senators.

Reds 3, Astros 2 at Houston (night game):
Rookie Wayne Simpson was able to bring his record to 11-1 when Tommy Helms drove in a run with a single in the ninth inning to give the Reds a 3-2 victory over the Astros. Simpson counted the Reds' first run, hitting a single in the third and crossing the plate on a single by Bobby Tolan and an error by Doug Rader. Tolan added a second run with a homer in the eighth, but the Astros tied the game in their half when Joe Morgan walked and Joe Pepitone hit for the circuit. In the ninth, Lee May walked for the Reds and Bernie Carbo sacrificed. May took third on a passed ball and then scored on Helms' hit. Simpson was lifted after Rader singled to open the Astros' ninth and Wayne Granger came in to retire the last three batters.

Dodgers 4, Padres 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Bill Sudakis batted in two runs with a homer and a single and Billy Grabarkewitz scored twice after reaching base with a single and a walk as the Dodgers defeated the Padres. 4-1, before largest the regular-season crowd in Los Angeles history, 55,110. A Helmet Night promotion attracted the throng, including numerous youngsters. Claude Osteen, who pitched for the Dodgers, yielded six hits. The Padres' run in the sixth on a pass to Dave Campbell and double by Cito Gaston ended a string of 25 straight scoreless innings of pitching by the Dodgers' staff.

Expos 6, Mets 5 at Montreal (night game):
Homers by Rusty Staub, Gary Sutherland and Coco Laboy helped the Expos to a 6-5 victory over the Mets, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak. Marv Staehle walked ahead of Staub's smash in the first inning. The Expos bunched singles by Staub, Ron Fairly and Jim Gosger for a run in the third. Sutherland connected for the circuit following a single by Bobby Wine in the fourth. Laboy then homered in the eighth to produce the winning marker. Tommie Agee drove in two runs for the Mets with a homer and sacrifice fly. Ken Singleton also accounted for two RBIs with his first major league hits -- a single in the fifth and a homer in the ninth.

Giants 4, Braves 1 at San Francisco (night game):
Gaylord Perry became first major league pitcher to win 12 games this season when the Giants' righthander defeated the Braves, 4-1. Perry yielded only four hits, but lost his bid for a shutout when Hal King homered in the ninth, ending the Braves' string of 28 consecutive scoreless innings. Bobby Bonds started the Giants' scoring with a circuit clout in the first. Two runs followed in the third when Bonds singled, Bob Heise tripled and Willie McCovey singled. A single by Ken Henderson and a double by Al Gallagher added the Giants' last run in the eighth.

Cardinals 7, Phillies 0 at St. Louis (night game):
With Bob Gibson pitching a four-hitter for his eighth straight victory, the Cardinals breezed past the Phillies, 7-0. Gibson was handed more than an adequate working margin in the first inning when the Cardinals scored three times on five singles, together with a double steal. Dick Allen pilfered second and, on the throw, Carl Taylor stole home.
