Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 5, Red Sox 2 at Boston (day game):
Sonny Siebert, who opened the season with nine straight victories, was tagged with his second defeat when the Angels beat the Red Sox, 5-2. Jim Fregosi homered off Siebert in the first inning and scored again after hitting a single in the fourth. Clyde Wright, who was the winner with the help of Dave LaRoche, tripled to drive in one of the Angels' two runs in the seventh, knocking out Siebert.

White Sox 8, Tigers 2 at Chicago (day game):
Taking charge with five runs in the first inning, the White Sox defeated the Tigers, 8-2, in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. The second game was rained out in the top half of the fourth inning with the Tigers leading, 2-0, and will be replayed in its entirety at a later date. The White Sox loaded the bases in the first on a single by Lee Richard and two walks. The next two batters went out, but Tom Egan then doubled to drive in two runs and Jay Johnstone homered to plate three more. Johnstone hit another homer later in the game and Bill Melton also connected for the circuit.

Orioles 4, Brewers 3 at Milwaukee (day game):
Two homers by Frank Robinson and one by Elrod Hendricks helped the Orioles defeat the Brewers, 4-3. After hitting for the circuit in the fourth, Robinson homered again in the seventh to tie the score at 2-2. On the next pitch by Marty Pattin, Hendricks rapped his round-tripper. The Orioles then added what proved to be the winning run in the same stanza on two walks and a single by Mark Belanger.

Twins 4, Indians 3 at Minnesota (day game):
Brant Alyea, pinch-hitting for Jim Perry, drove in a run with a single in the eighth inning to enable the Twins to defeat the Indians, 4-3. Leo Cardenas, who doubled, scored on Alyea's hit. The Twins' three other runs counted in the fourth on a walk to Harmon Killebrew, homer by Rich Reese, triple by Jim Holt and single by Cardenas. Graig Nettles and Chris Chambliss homered for the Indians, Nettles' drive coming with a man on base.

Yankees 5, Royals 2 at New York (day game):
The longest winning streak in Royals' history, six games, came to an end with a 5-2 loss to the Yankees. The Royals' runs counted on back-to-back homers by Amos Otis and Ed Kirkpatrick in the sixth inning. By that time, the Yankees already had clinched the decision with a five-run outburst in the third in their biggest single scoring stanza this season.

A's 8, Senators 1 at Washington (day game):
Vida Blue, whose only defeat came in Washington on the opening day of the season, avenged himself by pitching the Athletics to an 8-1 victory over the Senators. Rick Monday drove in three runs with a homer and single to help pin the defeat on Denny McLain. Sal Bando also had three RBIs. While with the Tigers, McLain had a 15-2 record against the A's, including winning his last nine straight decisions.

Cubs 6, Braves 3 at Atlanta (day game):
Ron Santo, Joe Pepitone and Paul Popovich each drove in two runs for the Cubs to support Bill Hands' pitching in a 6-3 victory over the Braves. Santo hit singles for his RBIs, Pepitone rapped a sacrifice fly and homer and Popovich hit for the circuit with a man on base. Hands handcuffed the Braves until the ninth inning when Hank Aaron homered, Earl Williams doubled and Hal King homered.

Reds 4, Cardinals 2 at Cincinnati (day game):
Although offered the day off, Lee May took his place in the Reds' lineup and smashed a three-run homer in the third inning to beat the Cardinals, 4-2. May had been suffering from shoulder and knee miseries. His homer followed a single by Don Gullett and safe bunt by Pete Rose for one of his four hits in four trips.

Dodgers 4, Mets 3 at Los Angeles (day game):
Bill Russell, who was inserted in the Dodgers' cleanup spot as a last-minute replacement for Dick Allen, hit a triple, double and single to lead the way to a 4-3 victory over the Mets. Allen was in the hallway of the clubhouse talking with a friend while a preliminary Old-Timers' game was in progress and did not return to the field in time. Russell hit his double in the fourth inning when the Dodgers scored three runs and then tripled in the fifth to drive in Willie Davis, who had singled.

Pirates 9, Astros 8 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Marking the return of manager Danny Murtaugh to uniform for the first time since suffering chest pain May 20, the Pirates outslugged the Astros, 9-8. The Pirates collected 17 hits, with Dave Cash, Richie Hebner, Willie Stargell and Manny Sanguillen having three apiece. Stargell and Cash hit homers. Bob Watson and John Mayberry homered among the Astros' 15 hits. Watson also rapped a double and drove in four runs.

[DH] Padres 8, Expos 0 (day game) / Padres 8, Expos 4 at San Diego (day game):
Dave Roberts pitched a shutout in the first game and Nate Colbert clubbed a grand-slam homer in the second game as the Padres defeated the Expos in a doubleheader, 8-0 and 8-4. Bob Barton led the Padres' attack in the opener, driving in three runs with a pair of singles. In the nightcap, the Padres erased the Expos' 3-1 lead when Don Mason and Enzo Hernandez singled, Dave Campbell was safe on an error by Ron Brand and Colbert homered off John Strohmayer in the fifth inning. Mason batted for Dick Kelley, who won his first game since July 6, 1969.

[DH] Phillies 1, Giants 0 (day game) / Giants 4, Phillies 3 at San Francisco (day game):
The Giants absorbed their first shutout of the season, losing to Rick Wise, 1-0, in the opener of a doubleheader, but then broke a five-game losing streak when Willie Mays smashed a homer in the 12th inning to beat the Phillies in the nightcap, 4-3. Wise allowed only three hits and was the winner when Willie Montanez doubled in the sixth inning and Ron Stone singled. The Giants also were on the verge of losing the second game, but rallied to tie the score with two runs in the ninth on a double by Mays, single by Ken Henderson, a late throw to second on a bunt by Bernie Williams and a single by Bobby Bonds.
