Today's scores and summaries:

Indians 3, Angels 1 at California (night game):
Undaunted by a reported $1,000 fine for rowdyism on the Indians' bus Saturday, Sam McDowell took his regular turn and pitched a seven-hitter to defeat the Angels, 3-1. The game was scoreless until the ninth inning when McDowell and Ted Uhlaender beat out infield hits, forcing the exit of Rickey Clark. After Dave LaRoche relieved, Vada Pinson forced McDowell, but Graig Nettles singled to load the bases. Chris Chambliss walked to force in the first run. An error by Sandy Alomar admitted another tally and the third run scored on a grounder by Eddie Leon. McDowell lost his bid for a shutout when the Angels picked up an unearned run in their half of the ninth.

Tigers 5, Royals 2 at Kansas City (night game):
Mickey Lolich became a 15-game winner by pitching the Tigers to a 5-2 victory over the Royals. The Tigers decided the outcome with four runs in the fourth inning. A pass to Tony Taylor and singles by Al Kaline, Willie Horton, Bill Freehan and Norm Cash produced the first three runs. Freehan then counted the fourth run as Mickey Stanley bounced into a double play.

[DH] White Sox 8, Yankees 3 (night game) / White Sox 3, Yankees 1 at New York (night game):
The White Sox, who had lost seven straight times to the Yankees this season, including both games of the previous day's doubleheader, bounced back with 8-3 and 3-1 victories in a sweep of a twi-night bargain bill. The White Sox won the opener with a five-run outburst in the 10th inning. Bill Melton drove in the first two tallies with a bases-loaded single and Ed Herrmann accounted for three others with a homer. Tommy John pitched a six-hitter for the White Sox in the nightcap and Carlos May drove in all three runs with a homer and single, making up for his error that allowed the Yankees to score their lone tally.

Orioles 4, A's 2 at Oakland (day game):
Pat Dobson extended his personal winning streak to nine games by pitching the Orioles to a 4-2 victory over the Athletics. Rick Monday homered for the A's two runs off Dobson, who gave up seven hits. The Orioles collected only five off Diego Segui, but they included homers by Paul Blair and Davey Johnson. The Orioles' two other runs counted in the third inning. A walk to Mark Belanger, a sacrifice and single by Don Buford produced one run and the other scored when Buford raced home on a two-out pop single by Brooks Robinson.

Senators 5, Twins 2 at Washington (night game):
The Senators jumped on Jim Perry for four runs in the third inning and defeated the Twins, 5-2. Jackie Brown and Del Unser singled and Don Mincher hit a sacrifice fly for the first run. Frank Howard drove in another with a double and Dick Billings followed with a homer to score behind Howard.

Giants 11, Braves 8 at Atlanta (night game):
The Giants blew an 8-2 lead before coming back with three runs in the last two innings to defeat the Braves, 11-8. John Cumberland, the Giants' starting pitcher, helped himself at bat with three hits and appeared to be breezing before the Braves erupted for six runs in the seventh on five hits, three walks and an error. With two out in the eighth, the Giants came to life again. Bobby Bonds doubled and scored the tie-breaking run when Darrell Evans threw wildly on a grounder by Dick Dietz. After a walk to Ken Henderson, Hal Lanier singled to score Dietz. The Giants added a run on a single by Willie Mays in the ninth.

Expos 5, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
Ron Woods batted in three runs with his first N. L. homer and a single to pace the Expos to a 5-3 victory over the Cubs. The former Yankee outfielder hit his homer after a walk to Ron Hunt in the first inning. Ron Fairly drove in two runs with a single in the sixth and Woods added the other tally with a bases-loaded single in the ninth.

Astros 3, Phillies 2 at Houston (night game):
A single by Cesar Cedeno with the bases loaded and none out in the 11th inning scored Roger Metzger and gave the Astros a 3-2 victory over the Phillies. Metzger led off with a single and when Joe Morgan bunted, Bilyl Wilson threw wildly. Metzger reached third and Morgan advanced to second on the error. After an intentional pass to Jim Wynn, the Phillies pulled in their infielders for a possible play at the plate, but Cedeno rapped a bouncer past John Vukovich at third base. Buddy Harris, the Astros' fourth pitcher of the game, worked one inning in relief and received credit for his first major league victory.

Dodgers 10, Pirates 4 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates' 11-game winning streak was broken by the Dodgers, who piled up 15 hits and cruised to a 10-4 victory. Maury Wills drove in three runs with a double and single, Claude Osteen helped himself with a two-run single and Willie Crawford and Dick Allen hit homers in the Dodgers' attack. Roberto Clemente homered to produce two of the Pirates' tallies.

Mets 5, Cardinals 2 at St. Louis (night game):
Ray Sadecki yielded only three hits and retired the last 18 batters in succession while pitching the Mets to a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals. The Mets scored all their runs off Steve Carlton in the second inning on a single by Bob Aspromonte, pass to Jerry Grote and singles by Ted Martinez, Sadecki, Bud Harrelson, Tommie Agee and Cleon Jones.

Padres 4, Reds 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Padres scored two runs on a pair of bases-loaded walks in the first inning and added two more runs on a homer by Ed Spiezio in the eighth to defeat the Reds, 4-3. After Wayne Simpson's wildness gave the Padres their initial start, the Reds went ahead in their half of the first when Tony Perez homered with two men on base. The Reds then held the lead until Spiezio homered.
