Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 3, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
Pinch-hitting with two men on base in the seventh inning, Winston Llenas smashed his first major league homer to give the Angels a 3-1 victory over the White Sox. Wilbur Wood, who gave up a single by Al Gallagher and double by pinch-hitter Billy Grabarkewitz before Llenas hit his homer, suffered his fifth defeat in six decisions since winning two games in one day May 28.

Indians 8, Tigers 7 at Cleveland (night game):
George Hendrick hit three consecutive homers and then drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the ninth inning to give the Indians an 8-7 victory over the Tigers. Hendrick's homers, each with the bases empty, came in the first, fourth and sixth innings before he walked in the eighth and singled in the ninth. John Ellis and Charlie Spikes also homered for the Indians, while the Tigers had circuit clouts by Norm Cash and Dick McAuliffe. In the nirth, Jack Brohamer walked and Frank Duffy sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Buddy Bell, Oscar Gamble flied out, but Hendrick then hit his single to snap the Indians' six-game losing streak.

A's 11, Royals 6 at Kansas City (night game):
The Athletics, who were trailing, 6-1, after five innings, roared back to defeat the Royals, 11-6. Sal Bando hit two homers for the A's, starting with a drive in the first. The Royals then look the lead with the aid of a three-run double by Hal McRae and two-run homer by John Mayberry. The A's started their comeback with four runs in the sixth. Bill North batted in one run with a triple and Deron Johnson homered with two men on base. Bando's second homer tied the score in the eighth. Reggie Jackson followed with a double and Mike Hegan drove him home with a single to put the A's ahead. Four more runs in the ninth clinched the outcome.

[DH] Red Sox 8, Brewers 4 (night game) / Red Sox 4, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (night game):
The Brewers' 10-game winning streak, longest in the majors so far this season, was shattered with 8-4 and 4-1 losses to the Red Sox in a twi-night doubleheader, the second game going 11 innings. The Brews stepped off to a 4-1 lead in the lidlifter with the aid of an inside-the-park homer by Johnny Briggs and two-run blow over the fence by Darrell Porter, but the Red Sox rallied to tie the score in the eighth. The Brewers' defense then fell apart in the ninth. With two out, Frank Linzy threw wildly on a grounder by Mario Guerrero. Rick Miller beat out a hit to deep short and when Tim Johnson threw the ball away, Guerrero scored to break the tie. Reggie Smith then walked and Carlton Fisk smashed a three-run homer to ice the victory. In the nightcap, after the clubs went through regulation distance in a 1-1 tie, the Brewers' run scoring on a homer by Ollie Brown, the Red Sox broke away in the 11th. Carl Yastrzemski singled, Orlando Cepeda sacrificed and Rico Petrocelli was passed intentionally. Linzy, the loser in the first game, took the mound again to face pinch-hitter Miller, who tagged his first pitch for a triple. Miller then scored himself on a single by Bob Montgomery.

Twins 7, Rangers 3 at Minnesota (night game):
The Twins scored four runs, two of them unearned, on only two hits in the first two innings and defeated the Rangers, 7-3. In the first, Rod Carew walked, Larry Hisle was safe on an error and two runs scored on a single by Harmon Killebrew and sacrifice fly by Bobby Darwin. George Mitterwald was hit by a pitch in the second and Jim Holt doubled. Mitterwald scored on an error and Holt counted on a sacrifice fly by Carew. Mitterwald homered in the sixth and the Twins finished their scoring with two more unearned runs in the eighth.

Yankees 5, Orioles 4 at New York (night game):
A run-scoring single by Gene Michael in the sixth inning for his second RBI of the game provided the Yankees with their edge in a 5-4 victory over the Orioles. Graig Nettles homered in the second to start the Yankee scoring. In the fourth, a walk to Nettles, an infield out, single by Bernie Allen and doubles by Thurman Munson and Michael added three runs. Johnny Callison was safe on an error in the sixth and, after a single by Allen, scored the deciding run on Michael's single.

Dodgers 3, Braves 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Willie Davis homered with a man on base in the sixth inning for the 2,000th hit of his major league career to clinch the Dodgers' 3-0 victory over the Braves. The Dodgers' other run counted earlier in the fourth on a walk to Joe Ferguson and singles by Willie Crawford and Ron Cey. Tommy John was the winner with the help of Pete Richert, who took over with two men on base in the eighth and saved the shutout with the aid of an inning-ending double play.

Phillies 6, Mets 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Mike Schmidt hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to power the Phillies to a 6-1 victory over the Mets. Jim Lonborg, making his first start since May 19, was the winner with relief assistance from Mac Scarce. Willie Montanez walked in the fourth inning and took third on a single by Greg Luzinski. After Luzinski stole second, Tommy Hutton was passed intentionally to load the bases and set the stage for Schmidt's slam off Harry Parker, who was tagged with his first defeat of the year after five victories for the Mets.

[DH] Cubs 6, Pirates 3 (night game) / Pirates 4, Cubs 3 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Cubs erupted for four runs in the sixth inning and won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-3, but the Pirates came back to gain a 4-3 victory in the second game on a homer by Milt May in the ninth inning. In the lidlifter, successive singles by Rick Monday, Glenn Beckert and Billy Williams produced the first run in the sixth to break a 1-1 tie. Another run counted on an error, Jose Cardenal doubled to add a third tally and Larry Gura singled for his first major league hit to drive in the fourth run. Monday had a homer for the Cubs and Richie Hebner hit one for the Pirates. Monday homered again in the second game. A circuit clout by Willie Stargell put the Pirates ahead in the sixth, 3-2, but Randy Hundley homered for the Cubs in the ninth to tie the score before May came through with his winning blow in the Pirates' half.

Astros 7, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
Hot-hitting Lee May extended his batting streak to 18 games and drove in four runs with two singles and a sacrifice fly to lead the Astros to a 7-3 victory over the Padres, who suffered their 10th straight defeat. Doug Rader contributed a homer to the Astros' offense.

Reds 4, Giants 0 at San Francisco (night game):
Pete Rose went over the 2,000 total in hits and Fred Norman pitched his second straight shutout as the Reds defeated the Giants, 4-0. Rose flied out in the first inning and then hit three consecutive singles to reach the 2,000 plateau before adding a double in his fifth time at bat in the eighth. Norman gave up only three hits.

Expos 3, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
With Steve Renko and Mike Marshall combining on a five-hitter, the Expos defeated the Cardinals, 3-1. Renko, who gave up three hits, was lifted in the eighth inning after issuing two walks.
