Today's scores and summaries:

Yankees 3, Angels 0 at California (night game):
Mel Stottlemyre extended his career mastery of the Angels, pitching the Yankees to a 3-0 victory for his second straight shutout of the California club this year and his third in a row over two seasons. The victory was the Yankee ace's ninth in succession against the Angels since June 30, 1967, and his 16th against three defeats for his career.

White Sox 9, Orioles 3 at Chicago (night game):
Bill Melton hit a three-run homer and Dick Allen also drove in three runs with a pair of singles to pace the White Sox to a 9-3 victory over the Orioles. Stan Bahnsen, who was the winner, beat the Orioles for the first time in his career after losing to them in nine decisions while with the Yankees and in one game since being acquired by the White Sox.

Indians 7, Rangers 3 at Cleveland (day game):
The Indians went on a rampage in the third inning, scoring six runs, to defeat the Rangers, 7-3. Eddie Leon and Jerry Moses hit singles and Dick Tidrow walked to start the uprising. Del Unser doubled to drive in two runs. Jack Brohamer hit a sacrifice fly and was safe when Frank Howard dropped the ball, Tidrow scoring. Alex Johnson followed with a three-run homer.

Tigers 3, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
With catcher Bill Freehan's batting support, Mickey Lolich pitched the Tigers to a 3-1 victory over the Royals. After Al Kaline doubled in the first inning, Freehan drove in the Tigers' initial run with a single. Then, in the third, following a pass to Kaline, Freehan smashed a homer. Lolich gave up five hits, with the Royals' run scoring on a triple by Freddie Patek and single by Cookie Rojas in the fourth.

Twins 5, Brewers 4 at Minnesota (day game):
After playing 21 innings to a 3-3 tie in the previous night's suspended game, the Brewers needed only one more inning on the resumption of the contest to defeat the Twins, 4-3, Then, in the regularly-scheduled game that followed, the clubs went into overtime again with the Twins winning in 15 innings, 5-4. The suspended contest was decided in the 22nd inning when the Brewers scored the winning run on a single by Ron Theobald, sacrifice by Dave May and single by Mike Ferraro. When the clubs returned to action, Ferraro almost was the hero again, hitting a homer in the 15th to break a 3-3 tie. However, in the Twins' half, Eric Soderholm grabbed the laurels, coming up after a walk to Jim Nettles and smashing a homer to win the game. The marathon efforts set an A. L. record for the most innings in two consecutive games by the same clubs. The former mark was 36 innings by the Red Sox and White Sox July 12-13, 1951.

Red Sox 9, A's 6 at Oakland (day game):
Utilityman John Kennedy, playing third base in place of slump-ridden Rico Petrocelli, drove in five runs to lead the Red Sox to a 9-6 victory over the Athletics. Kennedy accounted for his first RBI with a single in the first inning. He also singled in the fourth and eventually scored when Petrocelli, appearing as a pinch-hitter, singled to end his 0-for-17 drouth. Kennedy then batted in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth and hit a homer with two men on base in the seventh. Reggie Smith also homered for the Red Sox, while Reggie Jackson smashed a pair of round-trippers for the A's and drove in four runs.

Reds 11, Cardinals 2 at Cincinnati (day game):
Wayne Simpson, making his first start since being recalled from Indianapolis, allowed only three hits in six innings before pulling a muscle in his left leg and gained credit for the victory when the Reds defeated the Cardinals, 11-2. Lance Clemons, making his first start in a St. Louis uniform, was rapped for three runs in the first inning and was kayoed in the third after Tony Perez homered with two men on base. The Reds added two more runs off Tony Cloninger before the inning ended and went on to hand the Cardinals their most lopsided defeat of the season.

Pirates 6, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
Breaking a tight game apart, the Pirates exploded for five runs in the 12th inning to defeat the Astros, 6-1. The Pirates scored their initial run in the fifth on a single by Gene Alley, a stolen base and single by Al Oliver. The Astros' only run off Bob Moose came on a homer by Jim Wynn in the seventh. Vic Davalillo opened the 12th with a pinch-single and Dave Cash was hit by a pitch. When Gene Clines bunted, batting for Moose, Doug Rader threw wildly, allowing Davalillo to score the tie-breaking run. Other tallies followed on a single by Oliver, triple by Roberto Clemente and single by Manny Sanguillen.

Padres 5, Expos 0 at Montreal (night game):
Posting his first major league shutout, Fred Norman yielded only four hits and pitched the Padres to a 5-0 victory over the Expos. The Padres' batting support for Norman included homers by Larry Stahl and Nate Colbert.

Mets 1, Giants 0 at New York (day game):
Buzz Capra, who delivered his first major league hit to drive a run home in the second inning, combined with Tug McGraw to pitch the Mets to a 1-0 victory over the Giants. Capra allowed only three hits in eight innings before McGraw took over and struck out the side in the ninth. Capra's hit off Juan Marichal, who drew his sixth straight defeat, followed singles by Cleon Jones and Duffy Dyer. Capra last season went hitess in 62 times at bat -- 12 with Memphis (Dixie), 49 with Tidewater (International) and once with the Mets.

Dodgers 3, Phillies 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Jim Brewer, who relieved in the ninth inning with two men on base and one out, saved the game for Claude Osteen as the Dodgers defeated the Phillies, 3-1. The Dodgers scored two runs on only one hit in the third inning. After Bobby Valentine singled, Osteen bunted for a sacrifice to Steve Carlton, who threw the ball into right field. Valentine scored and when Mike Anderson threw wildly in return, Osteen also completed his circuit of the bases.
