Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 3, Red Sox 2 at Boston (day game):
Although weakening in the last two innings, Tom Murphy was able to last the route and pitched the Angels to a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. Jim Spencer and Billy Conigliaro singled and Ken Berry doubled for the Angels' initial run in the second. Sandy Alomar doubled in the seventh and scored on a single by Roger Repoz. A wild throw home by Billy Conigliaro enabled Repoz to reach third and Ken McMullen singled him across with the deciding run.

Tigers 7, White Sox 3 at Chicago (day game):
Three consecutive errors in the third inning enabled the Tigers to score four unearned runs and led to a 7-3 victory over the White Sox. Les Cain opened the inning by reaching second on a wild throw by Mike Andrews. Tommy John also threw wildly on a tap by Mickey Stanley and when Luis Alvarado booted a ground ball by Cesar Gutierrez, Cain scored. Al Kaline singled to plate Stanley. After the next two batters went out, Bill Freehan walked to load the bases and Norm Cash drove in two runs with a single.

Orioles 12, Brewers 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
The Orioles exploded for six runs in the sixth inning, including the first grand-slam homer of Paul Blair's major league career, and trounced the Brewers, 12-4, to regain first place in the East division by one-half game over the Red Sox. Skip Lockwood, who started for the Brewers, had a 2-1 lead when withdrawn for a pinch-hitter in the fifth inning. Jim Hannan relieved and the Orioles immediately went ahead when Frank Robinson opened sthe ixth with a hit and Merv Rettenmund homered. After a single by Elrod Hendricks, Jim Slaton took over and walked both Mark Belanger and Don Buford to load the bases for Blair's slam.

Indians 10, Twins 2 at Minnesota (day game):
Graig Nettles, Eddie Leon and Ray Fosse, the first three batters in the Indians' order, collected 10 hits between them and drove in seven runs in a 10-2 romp over the Twins. Nettles had four hits, including a bases-loaded triple in the seventh inning. Leon also had four hits. Fosse homered with two men on base in the third and singled for another RBI after Leon tripled in the fifth. The Twins committed five errors -- three by Harmon Killebrew and two by Leo Cardenas.

Royals 11, Yankees 7 at New York (day game):
The streaking Royals erupted for six runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Yankees, 11-7, for their sixth straight victory. Trailing, 6-5, the Royals opened the sixth with a pass to Paul Schaal and double by Amos Otis. Schaal scored the tying run when Ed Kirkpatrick grounded out. After an intentional pass to Cookie Rojas, Bob Oliver singled to plate Otis. Joe Keough bounced out, Rojas scoring. Jerry May walked and Gail Hopkins then batted for Jim Rooker and delivered a three-run homer.

A's 6, Senators 1 at Washington (night game):
Homers by Sal Bando and Rick Monday sent the Athletics on their way to a 6-1 victory over the Senators. After the Nats counted in the first inning on a walk, a passed ball and single by Don Mincher, Bando tied the score with his round-tripper in the second and Monday put the A's ahead with a two-run smash in the fourth.

Braves 6, Cubs 4 at Atlanta (night game):
Ken Holtzman, pitching with only one day of rest after his no-hitter against the Reds, made his first relief appearance of the season in a move that failed when Mike Lum smashed a three-run homer in the 11th inning to give the Braves a 6-4 victory over the Cubs. The Braves sent the game into overtime when Sonny Jackson hit for the circuit in the ninth. The Cubs went ahead with a run in the 11th, but Marty Perez and Jackson singled in the Braves' half around an infield out by pinch-hitter Hank Aaron. Holtzman then replaced Phil Regan and retired Ralph Garr on a grounder, but Lum followed with his drive that cleared the outstretched glove of leaping Jim Hickman and sailed into the stands in right field.

Cardinals 5, Reds 3 at Cincinnati (day game):
Two homers by Joe Hague, who drove in four runs, enabled the Cardinals to outlast the Reds, 5-3. The Cardinals were forced to use four pitchers in the ninth when the Reds rallied for two runs, but Moe Drabowsky saved the game by retiring Al Ferrara on a pop foul with two men on base. The victory moved the Cardinals back into first place in the East division, 1½ games ahead of the Mets and Pirates.

Dodgers 3, Mets 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Although tagging Don Sutton and Pete Mikkelsen for 10 hits, the Mets were unable to score and lost to the Dodgers, 3-0. Sutton gave up eight singles before his arm stiffened, forcing him to leave for a pinch-hitter after five innings on the mound. Willie Davis singled, stole second and scored the Dodgers' initial run on a single by Dick Allen in the first inning. Allen singled in the fourth and raced home from first base on a double by Jim Lefebvre. Steve Garvey wound up the scoring with a homer in the sixth.

Astros 4, Pirates 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Larry Dierker gave up 10 hits and failed to finish, but received credit for his 10th victory when the Astros defeated the Pirates, 4-1. Dierker and Steve Blass were locked in a 1-1 duel before the Astros broke away with two runs in the eighth inning on singles by Joe Morgan, Cesar Cedeno and Bob Watson, knocking out Blass, and a wild pitch by Mudcat Grant in relief. The Astros added an unearned run in the ninth and then Fred Gladding replaced Dierker to put down a threat by the Pirates in their half.

Expos 2, Padres 1 at San Diego (day game):
A single by Gary Sutherland, double by Ron Fairly and single by Bob Bailey produced two runs for the Expos in the sixth inning to beat the Padres, 2-1. Steve Renko gave up the Padres' run in the fifth on a single by Ivan Murrell and double by Ed Spiezio. Mike Marshall, in relief of Renko, quelled Padres' threats in the eighth and ninth, each time with two men on base.

Phillies 5, Giants 3 at San Francisco (day game):
Pinch-hitting, Tim McCarver came through with a two-run homer in the eighth inning to lift the Phillies to a 5-3 victory over the Giants, who suffered their fourth straight defeat. The Giants jumped off to a 3-0 lead before the Phillies picked up a run in the sixth on a double by Larry Bowa, single by Terry Harmon and sacrifice fly by Willie Montanez. Bowa walked in the eighth and scored from second with two out on a single by Deron Johnson. McCarver then batted for Joe Lis and hit his homer to send the Phillies ahead. Bowa plated an insurance run with a single in the ninth.
