Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 10, Angels 1 at Boston (night game):
The Red Sox collected 17 hits, 15 of them singles, and romped over the Angels, 10-1. Gary Peters, who checked the Angels on nine hits, including a homer by Ken Berry, drove in the first Red Sox run with a double in the second inning. Duane Josephson had the other extra-base blow, hitting a three-run double in the third.

White Sox 3, Tigers 2 at Chicago (night game):
Carlos May took care of the run production with a pair of singles and Wilbur Wood provided seven-hit pitching as the White Sox defeated the Tigers, 3-2. May drove in two runs in the first inning after the White Sox loaded the bases on two walks around a single by Bill Melton. Their other run counted in the third on singles by Mike Hershberger, Mike Andrews and May. Ike Brown homered for the Tigers in the first and scored an unearned run after reaching base with a single in the fifth.

Orioles 2, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (night game):
The combination of four-hit pitching by Cuellar and a two-run homer by Frank Robinson in the first inning was a winning one for the Orioles, who defeated the Brewers, 2-0. The victory was the sixth in succession for Cuellar. Frank Robinson's homer came with two out after a single by Brooks Robinson.

Indians 4, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Ted Ford provided the Indians with a better idea than losing by driving in three runs to beat the Twins, 4-2, in a game stopped by rain with two out in the last half of the sixth inning. Ford doubled to plate two of the Indians' three runs in the first and singled to produce their last in the sixth.

Royals 6, Yankees 2 at New York (night game):
The Royals, who never had won more than four games in a row previously in the club's brief history, gained their fifth straight victory by defeating the Yankees, 6-2. The Royals clinched the outcome in the first inning when Paul Schaal homered, Amos Otis singled and Cookie Rojas homered. Freddie Patek batted in three other runs with singles in the seventh and ninth. A torn fingernail on his pitching hand forced winner Ken Wright to quit the mound with two out in the sixth and Tom Burgmeier finished.

A's 5, Senators 3 at Washington (night game):
In one of the longest games in A. L. history, the Athletics scored on a pass with the bases loaded and a wild pitch in the 21st inning to defeat the Senators, 5-3. The Senators rallied for three runs in the ninth to turn the game into a marathon contest. In the 21st, Dick Green doubled and was out at the plate trying to score on a single by Curt Blefary, who went to second on the throw. After an intentional pass to Bert Campaneris, both runners advanced on a wild pitch by Jim Shellenback. Larry Brown walked to load the bases and Reggie Jackson then drew a pass to force in Blefary. Campaneris counted an extra run on Shellenback's second wild pitch of the inning.

Cubs 11, Braves 0 at Atlanta (night game):
After failing in three previous tries, Fergie Jenkins breezed to the 100th victory of his major league career as the Cubs trounced the Braves, 11-0. Jenkins pitched a three-hitter. The Cubs piled up 19 hits, including a homer and three singles by Joe Pepitone, who drove in three runs.

Reds 12, Cardinals 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds, bouncing back after being the victims of a no-hitter by Ken Holtzman of the Cubs in the previous night's game, broke loose with their best offensive display of the season to trounce the Cardinals, 12-0. Tony Perez and George Foster each had four of the Reds' 17 hits. Ross Grimsley held the Cards to three hits in posting his first major league shutout.

Mets 3, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Two unearned runs enabled Tom Seaver to pitch the Mets to a 3-1 victory over the Dodgers. The Mets' only earned run counted in the fifth inning on a single by Don Hahn, sacrifice by Seaver and double by Bud Harrelson. Errors by Tom Haller and Bobby Valentine in the fifth and miscues by Maury Wills and Valentine in the eighth resulted in the Mets' other tallies. Dick Allen homered for the Dodgers but Seaver stopped Willie Davis on his 25-game batting streak. The victory moved the Mets into first place in the East division race, two percentage points ahead of the Cardinals.

Pirates 3, Astros 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Proving an able substitute, Gene Clines, playing in place of flu-weakened Roberto Clemente, hit a pair of run-scoring singles to lead the Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the Astros. Clines got his RBIs in the third and fifth innings with the Pirates' in-between run counting in the fourth on a double by Richie Hebner and single by Milt May. Dave Giusti saved the game for Bob Moose, inducing Roger Metzger to roll into a double play with the bases loaded in the ninth.

Expos 3, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Catcher John Bateman proved his batterymate Bill Stoneman's best friend by knocking in two runs with a two-out double in the ninth inning to bring the Expos a 3-1 victory over the Padres. Ron Fairly singled with one away and Boots Day singled after two out before Bateman came to bat.

Phillies 5, Giants 3 at San Francisco (night game):
Retiring five straight batters, Jim Bunning received credit for his first save of the season as the Phillies defeated the Giants, 5-3. Chris Short, who started, held a 4-1 lead going into the eighth inning and was batted out when the Giants scored twice on a single by Bobby Bonds, triple by Chris Speier and single by Tito Fuentes.
