Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 4, Indians 2 at Boston (night game):
After yielding four hits and two runs in the first two innings, Luis Tiant did not allow a hit the rest of the way and pitched the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Indians. Dave Duncan homered for one of the Indians' tallies. John Kennedy tied the score at 2-2 with a homer for the Red Sox in the second. A walk to Tommy Harper, an error, safe bunt by Luis Aparicio and infield out by Carl Yastrzemski produced the go-ahead run in the third and Danny Cater doubled home an insurance marker in the eighth.

White Sox 7, Angels 4 at California (night game):
The White Sox scored five runs in the first inning, including a theft of home by Dick Allen, and defeated the Angels, 7-4. Pat Kelly and Allen hit doubles to produce the initial tally. After a walk to Bill Melton and single by Ken Henderson loaded the bases, Allen broke for home and scored to surprise Nolan Ryan, who uncorked a wild pitch, allowing the other runners to advance. Mike Andrews followed with a two-run double to kayo Ryan, who failed to strike out a batter in a game for the first time in his major league career. Jorge Orta greeted reliever Steve Barber with a single to plate the fifth run. Bob Oliver batted in three runs for the Angels with a single and triple.

Tigers 6, Brewers 5 at Detroit (night game):
Mickey Lolich was tagged for 10 hits, but the Tigers' veteran lefthander was able to beat the Brewers, 6-5, for only his second victory of the season against four defeats. Ed Brinkman hit two doubles and scored twice to help the Tigers take a 4-2 lead before they added two more runs in the fifth inning on a double by Bill Freehan, walk to Norm Cash, wild throw by Tim Johnson after Jim Northrup forced Cash and single by Aurelio Rodriguez. George Scott drove in three of the Brewers' runs with a single, grounder and homer.

Royals 6, Twins 2 at Kansas City (night game):
John Mayberry hit a single, triple and homer to pace the Royals' attack in a 6-2 victory over the Twins. Mayberry drove in the Royals' initial run with a single in the first inning and his triple led the way to three runs in the fourth. The slugging first baseman capped his day with a two-run homer in the fifth. The Twins' runs off Bruce Dal Canton were unearned. Dal Canton allowed 10 hits, but the Royals backed him by turning four double plays.

Orioles 3, Yankees 0 at New York (night game):
Batting for only the second time this season, Elrod Hendricks hit a two-run homer in the second inning to support Jim Palmer's pitching as the Orioles defeated the Yankees, 3-0. Hendricks went behind the bat because Earl Williams, the Orioles' regular starting catcher, was fulfilling a military commitment. The Orioles' other run scored on a walk to Boog Powell, an error and single by Brooks Robinson in the fifth.

A's 4, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
Vida Blue and Rollie Fingers combined on a four-hitter and pitched the Athletics to a 4-3 victory over the Rangers. Blue was lifted in the seventh inning when leadoff man Vic Harris homered for only the third hit off his deliveries. The A's scored in each of the first four frames, getting their deciding run in the fourth on a triple by Bert Campaneris and sacrifice fly by Joe Rudi.

Cubs 4, Phillies 3 at Chicago (day game):
Randy Hundley, who doubled to drive in one of the Cubs' three runs in the second inning, smashed a homer in the sixth to beat the Phillies, 4-3. Milt Pappas, trying for a victory on his 34th birthday, developed a tender elbow and was lifted with one out in the Phillies' sixth after giving up a run on a double by Cesar Tovar and single by Willie Montanez. Bob Locker relieved and lost the lead when Greg Luzinski homered to tie the score.

Astros 5, Reds 1 at Houston (night game):
The Astros marked the return of Leo Durocher to his managerial duties by defeating the Reds, 5-1, behind the two-hit pitching of Don Wilson. Durocher had been absent from his job since April 20 because of an intestinal infection and missed 16 games. The Astros won 13 and lost three under coach Preston Gomez. Wilson gave up the Reds' only run on a double by Joe Morgan and single by Johnny Bench in the sixth inning. Lee May hit a two-run homer for the Astros and Cesar Cedeno, who collected three singles, also accounted for two RBIs.

Mets 4, Pirates 3 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The relief pitching of Tug McGraw enabled the Mets to defeat the Pirates, 4-3, but the victory proved costly when Jerry Grote was hit by a pitch by Ramon Hernandez in the seventh inning and suffered a fracture of his right forearm. Cleon Jones and Rusty Staub also were hit by pitches. Staub was forced to leave the game, but X-rays showed he escaped injury. The Mets' first two runs in the opening inning were unearned on errors by Manny Sanguillen and Rennie Stennett. Jones was hit by a pitch by Dock Ellis in the fifth and counted on singles by Ed Kranepool and Jim Gosger. Staub was tagged by Hernandez to open the seventh. After a sacrifice, Gosger walked. Grote was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Bud Harrelson walked to force in what proved to be the deciding run. McGraw, after relieving Harry Parker, induced Milt May to ground into a double play with the bases loaded in the seventh and put down another bases-loaded threat in the ninth by grabbing a grounder by May and making an unassisted putout at first.

Dodgers 3, Giants 2 at San Francisco (night game):
Retiring the last four batters in succession, two on strikeouts, Jim Brewer saved the Dodgers' 3-2 victory over the Giants. Al Downing and Juan Marichal were locked in a scoreless duel until the sixth inning when Joe Ferguson and Willie Crawford walked and both scored with two out on an error by Dave Kingman. Manny Mota tripled in the eighth and counted what proved to be the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Ferguson. The Giants rallied in their half when Tito Fuentes walked and scored on a double by Chris Speier. Pete Richert came in and was greeted with a triple by Willie McCovey. Brewer put a stop to further scoring.

Cardinals 12, Expos 0 at St. Louis (night game):
Alan Foster gained his first victory with the Cardinals by pitching a four-hitter to shut out the Expos, 12-0. The Cardinals broke loose with 15 hits, every player in the lineup sharing in the attack.
