Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 10, Brewers 1 at Boston (day game):
Rico Petrocelli and Luis Aparicio collected four hits apiece to lead the attack of the Red Sox in a 10-1 victory over the Brewers. Petrocelli, whose hits included a homer, drove in three runs. Aparicio accounted for two RBIs.

White Sox 4, Angels 1 at Chicago (day game):
With last-out help from Cy Acosta, Wilbur Wood became an 11-game winner when the White Sox defeated the Angels, 4-1. Wood had the Angels shut out on three hits until the ninth inning before giving up a run on singles by Billy Grabarkewitz, Frank Robinson and Mike Epstein. Acosta, relieving with two out, retired Bob Oliver on a fly to end the game. Nolan Ryan, pitching for the Angels, struck out 13. The White Sox started the scoring in the first on a safe bunt by Ken Henderson and double by Dick Allen. Other markers followed in the third. Pat Kelly drew Ryan's lone pass, took third on a single by Henderson and scored on a sacrifice fly by Allen. Bill Melton doubled to send Henderson home and Rick Reichardt singled to score Melton.

Tigers 4, Yankees 0 at Detroit (night game):
Posting his first shutout of the season, Mickey Lolich beat the Yankees, 4-0, but the victory was only the third for the Tigers' veteran lefthander against five defeats. The Tigers decided Lolich's duel with Doc Medich when Gates Brown and Duke Sims singled and Dick McAuliffe hit his first homer of the season in the fourth inning.

Twins 2, Royals 0 at Minnesota (night game):
A safe bunt by Ed Kirkpatrick in the fifth inning saved the Royals from a no-hitter at the hands of Bert Blyleven in a 2-0 loss to the Twins. Other than Kirkpatrick, only two Royals reached base, both on walks. The Twins scored on a double by Bobby Darwin and single by George Mitterwald in the fourth and on a double by Steve Braun and single by Danny Thompson in the eighth.

Braves 2, Giants 1 at Atlanta (night game):
Carl Morton not only pitched a five-hitter, but also drove in the deciding run with a double as the Braves defeated the Giants, 2-1. The Giants scored an unearned run on an error by Joe Pepitone in the second inning. The Braves struck back in their half, tying the score with a homer by Davey Johnson and then adding the winning run on a single by Pepitone, forceout by Johnny Oates and double by Morton.

Mets 7, Dodgers 3 at Los Angeles (night game):
Playing the longest game in their Los Angeles history, the Dodgers lost to the Mets in 19 innings, 7-3. There were 41 hits, 40 men left on base and nine double plays in the five-hour, 42-minute marathon. Willie Davis tied the modern N. L. record for most hits in one game with six for the Dodgers. Rusty Staub had five hits for the Mets. In the 19th, Cleon Jones singled and scored the tie-breaking run on a double by Staub. Ken Boswell, batting for George Stone, who gained his first victory of the season, singled to drive in Staub. Duffy Dyer walked and Ed Kranepool doubled to drive in two extra runs.
