Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 3, Orioles 1 at Boston (day game):
The Red Sox took a quick lead on a two-run double by Reggie Smith in the first inning and went on to defeat the Orioles, 3-1. Doug Griffin singled, Luis Aparicio doubled him to third and both then scored on Smith's two-bagger. The other Red Sox run in the fourth counted on a walk and singles by Ray Culp and Griffin.

[DH] Angels 2, White Sox 1 (day game) / Angels 12, White Sox 3 at Chicago (day game):
The Angels shattered the six-game winning streak of the White Sox by sweeping a doubleheader, 2-1 and 12-3. Billy Cowan, playing in place of the suspended Alex Johnson, doubled home two runs in the fifth inning to give the Angels their victory in the opener. The Angels settled the issue in the nightcap by erupting for seven runs in the sixth inning, three scoring on a homer by Roger Repoz. Rickey Clark was the beneficiary, gaining his first major league victory since 1968.

Indians 3, Tigers 1 at Detroit (day game):
Sam McDowell allowed only four hits in pitching the Indians to a 3-1 victory over the Tigers. Al Kaline homered in the sixth inning for the Tigers' tally. The Indians scored in the fourth on a double by Roy Foster and single by Ray Fosse, added an unearned run in the fifth and wound up with their last marker on a single by Ted Ford and double by Chris Chambliss in the sixth.

[DH] Twins 2, Brewers 1 (day game) / Brewers 8, Twins 5 at Minnesota (day game):
An unearned run that followed a hotly contested ruling enabled the Twins to win the first game of a doubleheader, 2-1, but the Brewers exploded for six runs in the sixth inning to take an 8-5 decision in the second game. In the opener, Brant Alyea singled for the Twins in the sixth and gave way to Jim Holt as pinch-runner. After being caught in a rundown, Holt was awarded second base by the umpires, who ruled interference on the part of Ted Kubiak. Leo Cardenas singled with two out to drive in Holt with the winning run. In the nightcap, the Brewers collected six hits in their big inning, including a two-run double by Dave May.

[DH] Senators 2, Yankees 1 (day game) / Senators 8, Yankees 0 at New York (day game):
The Senators defeated the Yankees, 2-1 and 8-0, in their first sweep of a doubleheader since July 5, 1970, when the Yankees also were the victims. Stan Bahnsen, who had won six straight games for the Yankees, was beat in the lidlifter when Tim Cullen singled and Del Unser homered in the third inning. The Senators called on four pitchers. Jerry Janeski, who started, was lifted after walking the first two batters, and Ron Blomberg then singled off Joe Grzenda to provide the Yankees' run. Jim Shellenback hurled the route for the Senators in the nightcap, allowing six hits, and also helped himself at bat with two singles, driving in one run and scoring two.

[DH] A's 3, Royals 0 (day game) / Royals 6, A's 3 at Oakland (day game):
Blue Moon Odom and Bill Butler, both of whom had undergone elbow surgery during the winter, were winning pitchers when the Athletics and the Royals split a doubleheader. Odom, turning in his first complete game of the season, pitched the Athletics to a 3-0 victory in the opener. Butler, making his first start since his recall from Omaha, received credit for a 6-3 decision in the nightcap as the Royals ended their seven-game losing streak. Butler was hit by a line drive and left the mound after seven innings. Ted Abernathy finished the job for the southpaw.

Reds 7, Braves 5 at Atlanta (day game):
Lee May homered with a man on base in the ninth inning to enable the Reds to outlast the Braves, 7-5. Bernie Carbo batted in three runs with a homer and double. George Foster accounted for the Reds' two other tallies with a bases-loaded walk and double. Hank Aaron smashed the 613th and 614th homers of his career, leaving the Braves' slugger exactly 100 behind Babe Ruth's record total.

Astros 5, Giants 2 at Houston (day game):
The Giants suffered their 20th defeat in the last 25 games in the Astrodome when they lost to the Astros, 5-2. Ken Forsch, pitching for the Astros, gave up six hits, three of them in the fourth inning when the Giants scored their two runs. The Astros rallied to go ahead in the fifth and clinched the victory when Jim Wynn broke an 0-for-16 slump with a two-run single in the seventh.

Dodgers 7, Padres 2 at Los Angeles (day game):
Don Sutton, who helped himself at bat with a two-run single in the fourth inning, pitched the Dodgers to a 7-2 victory over the Padres. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the fourth when Dick Allen and Wes Parker singled and Billy Grabarkewitz walked. Bill Buckner drove in two runs with a single and Sutton followed with his hit to make it a four-run inning.

Expos 12, Mets 4 at Montreal (day game):
Staked to a seven-run lead in the first inning, John Strohmayer turned in the first complete game of his major league career and pitched the Expos to a 12-4 victory over the Mets. In the first, the Expos sent 12 men to bat and knocked out Charlie Williams before the Mets' rookie starter could retire a batter. Ron Hunt singled in the sixth for his 1,000th major league hit.

[DH] Phillies 8, Pirates 4 (day game) / Pirates 10, Phillies 9 at Philadelphia (day game):
Roberto Clemente homered in the eighth inning for the 1,200th RBI of his career to give the Pirates a 10-9 victory in a split of a doubleheader with the Phillies, who won first game, 8-4. Willie Stargell hit his 28th homer to help the Pirates take a 4-3 lead in the lidlifter before the Phillies exploded for four runs in the seventh. Roger Freed led off with a homer to tie the score. After two walks, Denny Doyle doubled to drive in the leading tally and Willie Montanez doubled to add two more runs. Deron Johnson hit two homers for the Phillies in the nightcap and Jose Pagan rapped a pair for the Pirates. Clemente's homer in the eighth as a pinch-hitter for Bob Veale broke a 9-9 tie.

Cubs 4, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (day game):
Completing a sweep of the three-game series, Fergie Jenkins pitched the Cubs to a 4-1 victory over the Cardinals. Jenkins also scored the Cubs' first run, hitting a double in the third inning and crossing the plate on singles by Glenn Beckert and Billy Williams. Jim Hickman homered in the fourth and Don Kessinger knocked in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the sixth.
