Today's scores and summaries:

Senators 6, Red Sox 5 at Boston (night game):
A single by Joe Foy for his fourth hit of the game came with the bases loaded in the 11th inning and gave the Senators a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox. Cal Koonce, who was on the mound for the Red Sox at the start of the stanza, walked Toby Harrah and Tim Cullen. After Mike Nagy took over, a sacrifice by Frank Fernandez and intentional pass to Del Unser set the stage for Foy.

Royals 8, White Sox 3 at Chicago (night game):
After taking the lead with the aid of homers by Gail Hopkins and Paul Schaal, the Royals exploded for four runs in the ninth inning to clinch an 8-3 victory over the White Sox. In their outburst, the Royals had a double by Freddie Patek, singles by Amos Otis, Bob Oliver and Ed Kirkpatrick and a double by Cookie Rojas.

Tigers 7, Yankees 4 at Detroit (night game):
The Yankees' troubles in their bullpen were emphasized when the Tigers jumped on Lindy McDaniel and Jack Aker for four runs in the seventh inning to gain a 7-4 victory. Singles by Al Kaline, Jim Northrup and Norm Cash tied the score at 4-4 and knocked out McDaniel. After Aker relieved, Northrup beat the throw home on a grounder by Gates Brown to send the Tigers ahead. Singles by Aurelio Rodriguez and Ed Brinkman added extra runs.

Twins 8, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (night game):
Harmon Killebrew clouted a homer and double, driving in four runs, and George Mitterwald connected for the circuit with two men on base to power the Twins to an 8-5 victory over the Brewers. Killebrew's homer in the first inning accounted for two runs. Mitterwald hit his homer and Killebrew rapped his double to produce five runs in the sixth.

A's 7, Angels 5 at Oakland (night game):
Saved from defeat by Dave Duncan, who hit his second homer of the game with two out in the ninth inning, the Athletics went on to beat the Angels, 7-5, when Bert Campaneris was safe on an error in 13th and Reggie Jackson smashed a game-winning homer.

Giants 9, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):

Juan Marlchal, who gained the victory, hit a homer with two men on base in the sixth inning when the Giants broke the game wide open by scoring six runs off Bill Singer.

Expos 3, Braves 2 at Montreal (night game):
A walk to Ron Swoboda with the bases loaded in the seventh inning handed the Expos a 3-2 victory over the Braves. With the score tied, 2-2, Rusty Staub and Bob Bailey drew passes and Ron Fairly was safe on an error. Coco Laboy struck out for the fourth consecutive time, but Swoboda then worked his walk off Phil Niekro.

Mets 5, Phillies 4 at New York (night game):
Jim Bunning's first relief appearance of the season was spoiled when the Mets scored an unearned run with two out in the 12th inning to beat the Phillies, 5-4. The Mets tied the score at 4-4 in the fifth on a balk by Ken Reynolds, who made his first major league start. Bunning took over in the ninth. Tim Foli was safe on an error by Larry Bowa to open the 12th and Tommie Agee walked. Agee was forced by Donn Clendenon and Foli was thrown out at the plate on a grounder by Cleon Jones, but Bob Aspromonte then singled to drive in Clendenon with the winning run.

Reds 7, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Reds scored seven runs in the first two innings to enable Ross Grimsley to defeat the Pirates, 7-4, for his first major league victory. Errors by Bob Robertson and Dave Cash in the first inning and another by Bob Moose in the second helped the Reds, who scored their last run on a homer by Johnny Bench. Charlie Sands and Roberto Clemente each hit a homer for the Pirates with a man on base. Sands' smash was the first of his major league career.

Astros 3, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
