Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 2, Orioles 0 at Boston (night game):
Sonny Siebert boosted his record to 6-0 by pitching the Red Sox to a 2-0 victory over the Orioles. The Red Sox nicked Jim Palmer for their first run in the fifth inning when Duane Josephson tripled and Doug Griffin hit a sacrifice fly. In the seventh, George Scott singled, Billy Conigliaro sacrificed and Siebert provided his own insurance run with a two-out single.

Brewers 4, Angels 1 at California (night game):
Bill Voss homered in the fifth inning for the Brewers' first hit to lead the way to a 4-1 victory over the Angels. In the sixth, after the Brewers loaded the bases, Andy Kosco singled to drive in one run and Voss walked to force in another. The Brewers' last run was unearned in the seventh inning.

A's 5, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
The Royals succeeded in forcing the exit of Vida Blue for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning, but lost nevertheless to the Athletics, who rallied for five runs in the ninth on only two hits to gain a 5-3 victory. Blue had pitched seven straight complete-game victories, but the southpaw was losing, 3-0, when removed. Ken Wright, who started for the Royals, was taken out after walking the first batter in the ninth. Tom Burgmeier also issued a pass and Ted Abernathy walked two more to force in the A's first run. Tommy Davis drove in two runs with a single off Al Fitzmorris and, with two out, Bert Campaneris singled off Jim York, scoring two more runs for the A's winning margin. The Royals executed six double plays, one short of the major league record. The A's added three twin-killings and the total of nine in the game tied the major league mark.

Twins 4, White Sox 3 at Minnesota (night game):
Cesar Tovar tripled in the ninth inning and scored on a bases-loaded grounder by Rich Reese to bring the Twins a 4-3 victory over the White Sox. After Tovar's triple, the White Sox walked Rod Carew and Harmon Killebrew intentionally. Reese then bounced to Mike Andrews, but the second baseman's throw to the plate was high and Tovar slid home with the winning run.

Indians 2, Yankees 1 at New York (night game):
Graig Nettles, who went into the game with a batting average of only .150, smashed a homer in the sixth inning to enable the Indians to defeat the Yankees, 2-1. Nettles also set up the Indians' first run with a single in the first. Ted Uhlaender led off with a single and was forced by Vada Pinson, who took third on Nettles' single and scored when Ray Fosse forced Nettles. Bobby Murcer doubled and Danny Cater singled for the Yankees' run in the second inning.

Senators 3, Tigers 2 at Washington (night game):
Facing his former teammates for the first time, Denny McLain pitched the Senators to a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. McLain had a 2-0 lead going into the ninth inning, but the Tigers then erupted to tie the score on a single by Ike Brown with the bases loaded. In the Senators' half, Toby Harrah doubled, took third on an infield out and scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Paul Casanova.

Braves 3, Phillies 2 at Atlanta (night game):
Sparked by Orlando Cepeda, who homered to lead off the seventh inning, the Braves scored three runs to defeat the Phillies, 3-2. After Cepeda's clout, Felix Millan walked and Clete Boyer, who bunted, was safe on an error. Bob Didier singled, sending Millan home to tie the score. With two out, Sonny Jackson walked to load the bases and Ralph Garr singled to drive in Boyer.

Cubs 3, Padres 2 at Chicago (day game):
Although allowing only three hits in six innings of pitching, Steve Arlin was a hard-luck loser when the Cubs defeated the Padres, 3-2. The Cubs counted twice in the first inning without the benefit of a hit on two walks, an error, another pass and a forceout. Ron Santo then decided the outcome of the game by smashing a homer off Arlin in the sixth.

Reds 5, Expos 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds bunched five singles for three runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Expos, 5-2, behind Gary Nolan, who pitched his first complete game of the season. Johnny Bench, Tony Perez and Lee May singled for the first run in the sixth and, after Hal McRae grounded into a forceout, Tommy Helms and Dave Concepcion followed with run-producing singles. May added a homer in the eighth.

Cardinals 4, Astros 2 at Houston (night game):
Dick Schofield, playing third base because Joe Torre was ill with the flu, drove in two runs with a double to pace the Cardinals to a 4-2 victory over the Astros. Singles by Matty Alou, Jose Cardenal and Ted Sizemore produced the Cards' first run in the sixth inning before Schofield rapped his decisive double.

Mets 8, Pirates 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Jerry Koosman turned in his first complete game of the season and pitched the Mets to an 8-2 victory over the Pirates. The Mets backed their southpaw with 10 hits, including a two-run double by Ed Kranepool and three-run homer by Bob Aspromonte. Cleon Jones contributed two RBIs with a homer and single.

Giants 8, Dodgers 4 at San Francisco (night game):
Helped by an error with two out, the Giants scored five runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Dodgers, 8-4. Chris Speier and Willie Mays homered in succession for the Giants in the first. Speier's smash was the first of the rookie shortstop's major league career. With the Dodgers leading, 4-3, Bobby Bonds walked in the seventh and Speier sacrificed. Mays struck out, but Willie McCovey walked and Ken Henderson singled to tie the score. Dick Dietz then rolled to Jim Lefebvre, who threw wildly to second trying for a forceout. That loaded the bases and Tito Fuentes capitalized on the error with a two-run single. Al Gallagher also singled, driving in another run, and when Bill Russell muffed the relay, the Giants' final tally counted.
