Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Angels 0 at California (night game):
Paul Blair and Brooks Robinson each hit a two-run homer in the first inning to start the Orioles off to a 7-0 victory over the Angels behind the four-hit pitching of Mike Cuellar, who became the Orioles' third pitcher with 16 victories, joining Dave McNally and Jim Palmer. In addition to the brace of homers in the first, Frank Robinson hit for the circuit in the eighth.

Tigers 2, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
Bill Freehan batted in one run and scored another to provide the Tigers with a 2-1 victory over the Brewers. Mickey Stanley led off the game with a double and counted on a single by Freehan. Ted Savage homered to produce the Brewers' run in their half of the first. The Tigers broke the tie in the sixth when Freehan walked with two out and came around to score on singles by Jim Northrup and Don Wert.

Yankees 7, White Sox 1 at New York (day game):
Jake Gibbs hit two homers in a game for the first time in his major league career and Jim Lyttle connected for his first circuit clout in a big-time uniform to feature the Yankees' 7-1 victory over the White Sox. Mel Stottlemyre also hit a homer to go along with his pitching performance.

A's 6, Indians 5 at Oakland (night game):
Led by Frank Fernandez, who batted in four runs with a pair of singles, the Athletics defeated the Indians, 6-5. After Fernandez drove in two tallies in the fourth inning, the A's erupted for four runs in the fifth. Singles by Steve Hovley and Bert Campaneris, around a pass to Rick Monday, loaded the bases. An infield out by Tommy Davis plated one run. Following a pass to Don Mincher, Felipe Alou drove in a run with a single. Fernandez then singled to send two men home.

Senators 3, Twins 2 at Washington (night game):
A double on a ball that bounced over Rick Renick's head in left field enabled the Senators to gain a 3-2 victory over the Twins in 11 innings. With one out Ed Brinkman singled. Paul Casanova then lined what appeared to be a single, but when the ball took a bad hop and rolled to the fence, Brinkman raced home with the winning run. The Twins counted their pair in the first on a single by Danny Thompson and homer by Harmon Killebrew. The Senators' tying pair tallied on a similar combo in the eighth -- a single by Frank Howard and homer by Aurelio Rodriguez.

Braves 1, Expos 0 at Atlanta (night game):
Hank Aaron batted in a run with a single in the fifth inning for his 100th RBI of the season to enable Jim Nash to pitch the Braves to a 1-0 victory over the Expos. Nash yielded only three hits. Felix Millan doubled and crossed the plate on the single by Aaron, who tied an N. L. record by driving in 100 runs for the 10th time in his career.

Cubs 4, Giants 1 at Chicago (day game):
Continuing his mastery of the Giants, Fergie Jenkins yielded only three hits and pitched the Cubs to a 4-1 victory to beat the Frisco crew for the seventh straight time since May 25, 1968. The Giants' run was unearned on two errors in the third inning. The Cubs knotted the count in their half when Don Kessinger singled, stole second and scored on a single by Glenn Beckert. Jim Hickman doubled and Randy Hundley singled for the tie-breaking tally in the sixth. Ron Santo then clinched the decision by hitting a homer after a double by Joe Pepitone in the eighth.

Reds 8, Mets 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
Three homers, including a grand slam by Tony Perez, powered the Reds to an 8-1 victory over the Mets. The jackpot wallop by Perez came in the second inning after a single by Woody Woodward, double by Pete Rose and pass to Bobby Tolan. Lee May homered in the seventh and Johnny Bench connected with a man on base in the eighth. Gary Nolan, who lost his bid for a shutout on a homer by Cleon Jones in the ninth, gained his eighth straight victory and 15th of the season.

Phillies 6, Astros 5 at Houston (night game):
Jim Bunning became the second pitcher to win 100 or more games in each major league when the Phillies defeated the Astros, 6-5. The victory was the 100th in the N. L. for Bunning, who previously won 118 games with the Tigers in the A. L. Cy Young was only other pitcher in major league history to reach the century class in each circuit. Bunning sailed into the ninth inning with a 6-1 lead, but the veteran righthander was kayoed when the Astros rallied for four runs on a homer by Joe Morgan and five singles before Dick Selma struck out Jesus Alou to end the game.

Dodgers 5, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Although Claude Osteen was unable to continue his shutout pitching against the Pirates, the Dodgers posted a 5-4 victory with the aid of a three-run homer by Billy Grabarkewitz. Osteen had whitewashed the Pirates three times previously this season, but his string came to an end when Al Oliver rapped a two-run double in the fourth inning. After giving up another run in the fifth, Osteen was removed in the face of a Pirate threat in the eighth and Jim Brewer finished. Grabarkewitz hit his homer in the second inning. Osteen batted in a run with a single in the fourth and the Dodgers added what proved to be the winning marker in the seventh when Willie Davis singled and stole second ahead of a single by Wes Parker.

Cardinals 11, Padres 10 at St. Louis (night game):
A grand-slam homer by pinch-hitter Carl Taylor climaxed a five-run rally in the ninth inning as the Cardinals came from behind to outslug the Padres, 11-10. Joe Hague started the stanza with a single and was forced by Dick Allen. Singles by Joe Torre and Jose Cardenal scored Allen, but Mike Shannon forced Cardenal. Ed Crosby then walked to load the bases before Taylor delivered his dramatic homer.
