Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Indians 1 at Baltimore (night game):
The Orioles exploded for six runs in the seventh inning and walloped the Indians, 7-1, to give Pat Dobson his seventh straight victory and 10th of the season. Brooks Robinson's three-run double and Davey Johnson's two-run homer were the big blows in the rally.

[DH] Brewers 1, White Sox 0 (day game) / White Sox 1, Brewers 0 at Chicago (day game):
The Brewers and White Sox traded 1-0 victories. The Brewers squeezed out a triumph in the opener on Ted Kubiak's bases-loaded sacrifice fly that scored Ron Theobald in the ninth inning. Ed Herrmann hit a homer in the fifth inning of the nightcap for the White Sox. Wilbur Wood posted his third shutout of the season.

[DH] Twins 6, Royals 5 (day game) / Twins 7, Royals 1 at Minnesota (day game):
Two home runs by Jim Nettles, the rookie's first in the majors, carried the Twins to a pair of victories over the Royals, 6-5 and 7-1. Nettles' tenth-inning round-tripper decided the opener and his two-run blast in the first inning of the second game gave the Twins a lead they never relinquished. In the first contest, Kansas City took a 5-0 lead, but the Twins fought back until George Mitterwald finally tied the score with his seventh homer of the year in the ninth. In the nightcap, Ray Corbin pitched his first complete game for the Twins. Cesar Tovar had six straight hits, three in each contest.

Yankees 3, Red Sox 2 at New York (day game):
Horace Clarke's one-out single scored Gene Michael from second base in the ninth inning to give the Yankees a 3-2 victory and a sweep of the three-game series with the Red Sox. Michael opened the ninth with a single and Lindy McDaniel sacrificed, setting the scene for the deciding blow. After the Red Sox had taken a 2-1 lead in the fifth, the Yankees evened the count in the eighth on successive singles by Roy White, Ron Blomberg and Thurman Munson.

[DH] A's 3, Angels 2 (day game) / Angels 6, A's 3 at Oakland (day game):
The Angels scored four unearned runs and won the nightcap, 6-3, to split a doubleheader after an eighth-inning pinch-single by Tommy Davis snapped a tie and gave the Athletics a 3-2 victory in the lidlifter. Davis' blow, his fourth game-winning pinch-hit of the year, followed a pair of passes off Lloyd Allen after Mike Epstein's two-run homer had tied the score, 2-2, in the sixth. Rollie Fingers, who hurled the ninth for the A's, notched his sixth save and ran his string of scoreless innings of relief pitching to 29. In the afterpiece, Dick Green's first-inning error on Sandy Alomar's grounder opened the gates for three unearned California runs. The Angels tallied in the third and sixth, running the score to 5-0, before the A's counted twice on sixth-inning triples by George Hendrick and Davis and added their final run in the seventh on a walk and Green's double. Jerry Moses' sacrifice fly drove in a superfluous California run in the eighth.

Senators 4, Tigers 3 at Washington (day game):
Tommy McCraw tripled with two out in the tenth inning and scored on Dave Nelson's infield hit as the Senators gained a 4-3 decision over the Tigers. Following McCraw's smash, Tom Timmerman walked Frank Howard and Elliott Maddox. Ed Brinkman fielded Nelson's high hopper, but his throw to second was too late to force Maddox, as McCraw scored. The Senators staked starter Bill Gogolewski to a 3-0 lead, but the Bengals picked up a run in the seventh and tied the score in the eighth on a two-run homer by Norm Cash.

[DH] Reds 7, Mets 2 (day game) / Reds 5, Mets 3 at Cincinnati (day game):
The Reds beat the Mets twice, 7-2 and 5-3, extending the New Yorkers' losing streak to six games and 11 defeats in their last 12 games. In the lidlifter, the Reds sent 10 batters to the plate in the fifth inning as they scored six runs. Bud Harrelson's throwing error with the bases loaded accounted for two tallies, while Jimmy Stewart, Woody Woodward and Gary Nolan delivered run-producing hits. Two homers and a single by Tony Perez, who drove in five runs, doomed the Mets in the nightcap. Tony's second round-tripper, a three-run blast, came off Tom Seaver, pitching in relief, and wiped out a 3-2 New York lead in the eighth inning.

Dodgers 11, Giants 3 at Los Angeles (day game):
The Dodgers snapped a six-game losing streak, their longest of the year, as Al Downing, who won only five games for Oakland and Milwaukee last season, coasted to his 11th triumph in an 11-3 victory over the Giants. After the Dodgers batted around for four runs in the first and increased their lead to 6-0 with two more in the second, Bobby Bonds hit a three-run homer in the third for all of San Francisco's runs. The Dodgers rambled on, adding singletons in the third and fourth and three final tallies in the sixth. Ken Henderson, Giant outfielder, had to leave the game when Willie Davis' second-inning double took a bad bounce and hit him in the eye.

Phillies 11, Expos 5 at Philadelphia (day game):
Three homers by Deron Johnson highlighted the Phillies' 11-5 verdict over the Expos. Coupled with a round-tripper his last time up the night before, the Phils' first-sacker had four consecutive homers to tie a major league record held by 10 others. Johnson homered off Carl Morton following singles by Tim McCarver in the first and third innings and connected again off Dan McGinn to open a seven-run, sixth-inning uprising. This wiped out the early lead Montreal had taken on a three-run homer by Boots Day in the first inning and two-run circuit smash by Morton in the second.

[DH] Cubs 2, Padres 0 (day game) / Padres 7, Cubs 5 at San Diego (day game):
Aided by a homer and sacrifice fly by Johnny Callison, who drove in both Cub runs, Milt Pappas blanked the Padres, 2-0, in the opening game of a doubleheader. In the second game, Ivan Murrell and Ed Spiezio each drove in a pair of runs and Cito Gaston belted a homer as the Padres took a 7-5 decision. Pappas' shutout was the 62nd of his 15-year career. Clay Kirby was the winner of the nightcap with help from Cub castoff Bob Miller.

Cardinals 7, Astros 3 at St. Louis (day game):
The Cardinals completed the sweep of the four-game series and handed the Astros their sixth straight loss as Bob Gibson hurled a six-hitter and coasted to a 7-3 victory. Gibby's batterymate, Ted Simmons, gave the righthander all the runs he needed with a single, double and sacrifice fly, driving in four tallies. The Astros spoiled Gibson's bid for his first shutout with three runs in the eighth. Joe Morgan's sacrifice fly drove in one tally and Cesar Cedeno followed with a two-run homer.
