Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 12, Rangers 0 at Boston (night game):
Reggie Smith smashed two homers, driving in five runs, as the Red Sox walloped the Rangers, 12-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Sonny Siebert. Smith homered with a man on base in the first inning and again with two aboard in the seventh. In addition, Smith singled in the fifth ahead of back-to-back homers by Rico Petrocelli and Danny Cater.

Angels 4, Orioles 3 at California (night game):
Hitless in 20 previous times at bat, Leroy Stanton knocked in two runs with a triple in the sixth inning and scored himself on a single by Leo Cardenas as the Angels rallied to defeat the Orioles, 4-3. Bobby Grich homered for the Orioles with a man on base and set up another run with a single before the Angels began their comeback with a circuit clout by Ken McMullen in the fifth. Ken Berry, who singled, and Bob Oliver, who walked, were on base when Stanton broke his slump with his triple in the sixth.

A's 7, Tigers 4 at Oakland (night game):
In a wild inning, the Athletics scored four runs on two passes with the bases loaded, a wild pitch and sacrifice fly to defeat the Tigers, 7-4. The A's opened the eighth with singles by Joe Rudi and Reggie Jackson and a safe bunt by Sal Bando. Fred Scherman, replacing Chuck Seelbach, walked Mike Epstein and Dave Duncan to force in Rudi and Jackson. Phil Meeler took over and his first throw was a wild pitch, allowing Bando to score. George Hendrick then hit a sacrifice fly to plate Epstein.

Cubs 7, Giants 6 at Chicago (day game):
With the score tied, 6-6, after four innings, the Cubs and Giants settled down in a duel of relief pitchers until the 11th when Don Kessinger singled and raced home on a double by Glenn Beckert to bring the Bruins a 7-6 victory. Jim Hickman homered with a man on base for the Cubs in the first, but the Giants scored three runs on a homer by Garry Maddox in the second and added three more markers in the fourth. The Cubs rallied for four runs in their half, two scoring on a homer by Ron Santo.

Expos 2, Reds 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
Bill Stoneman yielded only four hits and pitched the Expos to a 2-0 victory over the Reds. Jack Billingham dueled with Stoneman on equal terms until the seventh inning when Ron Fairly doubled, moved up on a bunt by Terry Humphrey and scored on a sacrifice fly by Tim Foli. Mike Jorgensen and Tim McCarver singled and Ron Woods hit a sacrifice fly to provide an insurance tally in the eighth.

Astros 3, Mets 0 at Houston (night game):
Larry Dierker pitched the Astros' second straight one-hitter, tying a major league record, and the defeated Mets, 3-0. Duffy Dyer singled in the third inning for the Mets' lone safety. Lee May drove in two of the Astros' runs with a pair of singles. Dierker's performance followed a one-hitter by Jerry Reuss in a 10-0 victory over the Phillies in the previous day's game. This was eighth time in major league history that any club had come up with consecutive one-hitters in nine-inning games. Gary Gentry and Tom Seaver of the Mets were the last previous pair to achieve the feat, Gentry against the Cubs and Seaver against the Phillies, May 13-15, 1970.

Pirates 13, Dodgers 3 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates, who had been shut out in two previous games by the Padres, broke loose with 16 hits and swamped the Dodgers, 13-2. Gene Alley, Roberto Clemente and Al Oliver contributed homers to the attack.
