Today's scores and summaries:

[DH] Orioles 11, Indians 3 (night game) / Indians 3, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (night game):
Led by Curt Motton, who hit the first grand-slam of his major league career, the Orioles powered their way to an 11-3 victory in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, but all Motton could do in the nightcap was hit a two-run homer to prevent a shutout in a 3-2 loss to the Indians. Grant Jackson started the first game for the Orioles and was kayoed after giving three runs with two out in the first inning. Dave Leonhard relieved and allowed only one hit in the last 8 1/3 innings. The Orioles wiped out the Indians' 3-1 lead with six runs in the fifth. Motton capped the outburst with his slam off Sam McDowell. In the nightcap, the Indians' runs off Dave Boswell in the sixth inning were unearned as the result of an error by Frank Robinson at first base.

White Sox 4, Brewers 3 at Chicago (day game):
A single by Rick Reichardt with two out in the ninth inning scored Jay Johnstone and gave the White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Brewers. Johnstone, who batted for Luis Alvarado, drew a walk and reached second on a sacrifice by Bart Johnson. Walt Williams fouled out, and Pat Kelly was passed intentionally in a Brewers' move that failed when Reichardt singled.

Yankees 5, Red Sox 3 at New York (day game):
With a crowd of 43,433 on hand for Old-Timers' Day, the Yankees scored three runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Red Sox, 5-3. Sonny Siebert, who had a 3-2 lead, was lifted in the eighth after giving up a single by Horace Clarke. With Sparky Lyle relieving, Jerry Kenney sacrificed and Bobby Murcer walked. After Roy White struck out, Lyle threw a wild pitch on the fourth ball to Ron Swoboda, Clarke scoring from second base. Murcer reached third and Swoboda took second. Lyle then walked Felipe Alou intentionally before giving way to Bobby Bolin. Danny Cater batted for Jake Gibbs and rapped Bolin's first pitch for a single, driving in two runs.

Angels 3, A's 0 at Oakland (day game):
The Angels rebounded from their 1-0 loss in 20 innings in the previous night's game and beat the Athletics, 3-0, as Andy Messersmith pitched a six-hitter to post his first shutout of the season. The Angels' runs scored off Catfish Hunter in the third inning on singles by Sandy Alomar, Mickey Rivers, Tony Gonzalez, John Stephenson and Jim Spencer. Hunter and Bob Locker, who followed him in relief, struck out nine between them, producing a new major league record for most strikeouts in two consecutive games, 35.

Tigers 4, Senators 2 at Washington (night game):
Mickey Lolich triumphed over Denny McLain, his former teammate, for the second time this season as the Tigers defeated the Senators, 4-2. The loss was the 15th for McLain, who had one decision over the Tigers among his five wins. Frank Howard homered with a man on base in the first inning for the Senators' runs. The Tigers tied the score in the third and gained their winning margin on a homer by Aurelio Rodriguez in the fourth and another by Jim Northrup in the fifth.

Reds 4, Mets 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Jimmy Stewart, subbing for the injured Tommy Helms at second base, tripled with the bases loaded in the first inning to start the Reds off to a 4-2 victory over the Mets. Wayne Simpson, who was the winner with ninth-inning help from Clay Carroll, got off to a shaky start, giving up two runs in the first, but the Reds came back to load the bases when Pete Rose and Tony Perez singled and Bernie Carbo walked to set the stage for Stewart's triple.

Giants 3, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (day game):
Bobby Bonds drove in two runs in the ninth inning with a double for his fourth hit of the game to provide the Giants with a 3-1 victory over the Dodgers. Tito Fuentes, who singled, and Willie Mays, who walked, scored on Bonds' double to give the Giants a 3-0 lead. In the Dodgers' half, Willie Crawford walked and Wes Parker beat out an infield hit, with the runners advancing an extra base on a wild throw by Fuentes. Jerry Johnson replaced Gaylord Perry and retired the side with one run scoring on a sacrifice fly by Duke Sims.

[DH] Phillies 2, Expos 0 (night game) / Phillies 3, Expos 2 at Philadelphia (night game):
Deron Johnson homered in each game of a twi-night doubleheader as the Phillies defeated the Expos, 2-0 and 3-2, behind route-going performances by Woodie Fryman and Rick Wise. Johnson provided the Phillies' first run in the lidlifter and their deciding tally in the nightcap. Wise ended his personal three-game losing streak since pitching his no-hitter against the Reds June 23.

Pirates 5, Braves 4 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Willie Stargell set an N. L. record for most homers against one club since expansion to 12 teams by smashing his 10th of the season against the Braves to carry the Pirates to a 5-4 victory. Hank Aaron drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and homer to help the Braves take a 4-3 lead before Vic Davalillo beat out an infield hit in the eighth inning and Stargell connected for his game-winning homer.

Cubs 3, Padres 1 at San Diego (day game):
Joe Pepitone hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning to enable Fergie Jenkins to pitch the Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the Padres. Larry Stahl homered for the Padres' run in the fourth and the Cubs tied the score with doubles by Chris Cannizzaro and Don Kessinger in the fifth. Jim Hickman singled ahead of Pepitone's homer.

Cardinals 6, Astros 5 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Astros, 6-5. Ted Simmons drew a leadoff walk from Fred Gladding and gave way to Luis Melendez, who raced home on a double by Joe Torre. After an intentional pass to Hague, the Astros expected Jose Cruz to bunt, but the rookie outfielder swung away and singled to drive in the winning run.
