Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 3, Indians 2 at Chicago (day game):
A walk to Jay Johnstone with the bases loaded and two out in the 10th inning handed the White Sox a 3-2 victory over the Indians. A walk to Mike Andrews, sacrifice by Chuck Brinkman, intentional pass to Mike Hershberger and infield hit by Tom Egan filled the sacks before Johnstone drew a walk from Phil Hennigan.

Tigers 9, Brewers 5 at Milwaukee (day game):
The Tigers exploded for five runs in the ninth inning, climaxing their outburst with a homer by Al Kaline, to defeat the Brewers, 9-5. Ed Brinkman drew a walk to open the inning and when Fred Scherman bunted, both runners were safe on a late throw to second. Dick McAuliffe singled for one run and another scored when Jim Northrup reached first on an error. Kaline then accounted for three runs with his homer.

Orioles 6, Twins 5 at Minnesota (day game):
A wild pitch that allowed Brooks Robinson to score capped a three-run rally in the eighth inning and enabled the Orioles to defeat the Twins, 6-5. Two walks and a safe bunt by Robinson loaded the bases and two runs scored on an infield out by Elrod Hendricks and single by Mark Belanger before Jim Strickland's wild pitch admitted Robinson.

Yankees 7, Angels 4 at New York (day game):
Bobby Murcer and John Ellis drove in two runs apiece, including one each in the sixth inning when the Yankees scored four times to defeat the Angels, 7-4. With the Angels leading, 3-2, Horace Clarke opened the sixth with a single and Thurman Munson walked. Roy White singled to tie the score and Murcer singled to send the Yankees ahead. Ellis doubled, scoring White, and Murcer came home with the fourth run of the frame on an error.

Reds 2, Astros 1 at Cincinnati (day game):
John Mayberry homered for the Astros, but the first baseman later turned goat with an error that enabled the Reds to gain a 2-1 victory. Hal McRae homered for the Reds in the third inning and Mayberry tied the score with a smash in the fifth. In the seventh, Johnny Bench, who was 0-for-21, and Tony Perez, who was 0-for-20, each beat out an infield hit. Bernie Carbo then grounded to Mayberry and when the first baseman let the ball scoot through his legs, Bench scored the winning run.

Dodgers 2, Phillies 1 at Los Angeles (day game):
A sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Willie Crawford with the bases loaded in the 12th inning scored Dick Allen and gave the Dodgers a 2-1 victory over the Phillies. With one out, Allen singled for his third hit of the game. After Jim Lefebvre also singled, the Phillies walked Bill Sudakis intentionally. Manager Walter Alston of the Dodgers countered with his successful use of Crawford as the batter for Jim Brewer.

Pirates 10, Cubs 0 at Pittsburgh (day game):
With Bob Moose pitching a three-hitter, the Pirates crushed the Cubs, 10-0, scoring eight of their runs in a fourth-inning attack that included six straight extra-base blows. Moose turned in his first complete game of the season. In the fourth, Moose was on third and Dave Cash on first with two out when Richie Hebner struck out on a pitch that hit the dirt and bounced away from catcher Chris Cannizzaro. Hebner reached first safely as Moose scored. The Pirates then unleashed their barrage. Roberto Clemente hit a three-run homer and Willie Stargell followed with the longest drive in the brief history of Three Rivers Stadium, smashing the ball to the upper deck in right field. A double by Manny Sanguillen kayoed Ken Holtzman. After Joe Decker relieved, Bob Robertson hit a two-run homer. Al Oliver doubled and scored the final run on a triple by Gene Alley.

Padres 4, Mets 2 at San Diego (day game):
Ivan Murrell homered with a man on base in the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie and provide the Padres with a 4-2 victory over the Mets.

[DH] Giants 5, Expos 4 (day game) / Giants 8, Expos 7 at San Francisco (day game):
Willie Mays became the greatest run-scorer in N. L. history, passing Stan Musial, as the Giants beat the Expos in a doubleheader, 5-4 and 8-7. Mays won the first game by smashing a homer with a man on base in the seventh inning to climax a three-run rally. When Willie crossed the plate, the run was the 1,950th of his career, putting him third on the all-time list behind A. L. greats Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. Musial scored 1,949 runs. The Giants won the second game with another three-run rally, this time in the ninth inning. A walk, single by Bobby Bonds and pass to Russ Gibson loaded the bases. One run scored on a wild pitch by Mike Marshall. After Al Gallagher walked to reload the sacks, Tito Fuentes singled to drive in the tying and winning runs.

Cardinals 8, Braves 3 at St. Louis (night game):
Joe Hague homered with two men on base in the second inning and Jose Cardenal connected for the circuit with one aboard in the seventh as the Cardinals defeated the Braves, 8-3.
