Today's scores and summaries:

Royals 4, Orioles 1 at Baltimore (night game):
Bruce Dal Canton pitched a five-hitter and Amos Otis had a perfect night at bat with four hits, driving in all of the Royals' runs, to defeat the Orioles, 4-1. Otis knocked in one run with a single in the fifth inning and homered with two men on base in the seventh.

Tigers 5, Angels 2 at Detroit (night game):
The Tigers scored three runs on wild pitches while defeating the Angels, 5-2. In the first inning, wild pitches by Andy Messersmith allowed Jim Northrup and Norm Cash to cross the plate. Dick McAuliffe hit the first homer off Angels' pitching in 61 innings to add a run in the fifth. The Tigers picked up their final pair in the sixth on three singles and a wild pitch by reliever Mel Queen.

Cardinals 8, Expos 5 at Montreal (night game):
Back in action after four games on the bench, Joe Hague smashed two homers to account for three runs before the Cardinals exploded for five more in the seventh inning to defeat the Expos, 8-5. A single by Ted Simmons and four walks forced in the Cards' first two runs to break a 3-3 tie. Jerry Reuss then helped himself to victory with a two-run double and scored the final run on a single by Lou Brock.

Mets 2, Astros 1 at New York (night game):
The Mets beat Wade Blasingame for the first time in the lefthander's career when Bud Harrelson drove in two runs with a two-out single in the seventh inning to produce a 2-1 victory over the Astros. Blasingame, who went into the game with a 9-0 record against the Mets, allowed only three hits until Jerry Grote doubled with one out in the seventh and Don Hahn beat out an infield hit. Tommie Agee grounded out, Grote holding third, but Hahn advanced to second on the play. Both baserunners then scored when Harrelson rapped his single.

Cubs 3, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (night game):
Fergie Jenkins, who allowed only four hits and struck out 12, pitched the Cubs to a 3-0 victory over the Phillies. A double by Billy Williams, single by Jim Hickman and a forceout produced the Cubs' first run off Chris Short in the sixth inning. Glenn Beckert singled and Hickman homered for the other tallies in the eighth.

Giants 3, Reds 2 at San Francisco (day game):
Juan Marichal went over the 2,000 mark in strikeouts for his career while pitching the Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Reds. Marichal fanned five and gave up only four hits -- three singles by Pete Rose and a homer by Tony Perez, who connected with Rose on base in the sixth inning. Willie Mays drove in a run for the Giants with a single in the first. Another scored when Ken Henderson grounded into a double play with the bases loaded in the third. Al Gallagher doubled in the fourth and Tito Fuentes singled to produce what proved to be the deciding marker.
