Today's scores and summaries:

Rangers 4, Red Sox 1 at Boston (night game):
Jim Fregosi, playing in his first game with the Rangers, rapped a homer and two singles, plus a sacrifice fly, in a perfect night at bat and Jim Bibby pitched a five-hitter to defeat the Red Sox, 4-1. Jeff Burroughs also homered for the Rangers, while Orlando Cepeda connected for the Red Sox in the ninth inning to ruin Bibby's bid for a shutout.

White Sox 3, Orioles 2 at Chicago (night game):
The White Sox saved Wilbur Wood from defeat by rallying for three runs in the ninth inning to edge the Orioles, 3-2. Pat Kelly singled with one out and was forced by Johnny Jeter before Carlos May singled, leading to the Orioles' removal of Dave McNally. Bill Melton singled off Bob Reynolds, scoring Jeter, and Ken Henderson followed with a double to drive in Joe Keough, who ran for May. Eddie Watt, relieving, walked Buddy Bradford intentionally to load the bases and Eddie Leon then singled to plate the winning run.

Tigers 8, Angels 2 at Detroit (night game):
Backed by three homers, Mickey Lolich pitched the Tigers to an 8-2 victory over the Angels. Frank Howard, Tony Taylor and Rich Reese rapped round-trippers, Reese's blow coming with a man on base. Howard, in addition to his homer, drove in another run with a single. Taylor accounted for a second RBI with a double. Frank Robinson hit a two-run homer for the Angels. The blow was the 535th of his career, moving him into sixth place on the all-time list ahead of Jimmie Foxx. Mickey Stanley handled 11 putouts in center field for the Tigers, tying an A. L. record.

A's 13, Brewers 4 at Milwaukee (night game):
Gene Tenace hit a grand-slam homer and Ray Fosse also drove in four runs with a homer and double to provide the Athletics' principal power in a 13-4 victory over the Brewers. Tenace's slam came off Frank Linzy in the eighth inning and was the first of his major league career.

Indians 11, Twins 2 at Minnesota (night game):
Friday the 13th proved a lucky date for Dick Bosman, who defeated the Twins, 11-2, to gain his first victory for the Indians since being obtained in a trade with the Rangers May 12. Two Twins' pitchers, Joe Decker and Ken Sanders, not only gave up 13 hits, but walked 10 batters between them. The Indians scored four runs in the fourth inning on just two hits and picked up two runs on one hit and four walks in the seventh, the last two passes coming with the bases loaded.

Yankees 5, Royals 0 at New York (night game):
Bobby Murcer hit three homers and drove in all of the Yankees' runs in support of Mel Stottlemyre, who shut out the Royals, 5-0. Murcer's first homer came after singles by Matty Alou and Roy White in the first inning. His other blasts followed in the sixth and eighth as the Yankee outfielder hit three homers in a game for the second time in his career.

[DH] Expos 11, Braves 7 (night game) /

[DH] Reds 2, Mets 1 (day game) / Mets 7, Reds 5 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Reds won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 2-1, in a duel between Jack Billingham and Tom Seaver, but the Mets came back with a rush to capture the nightcap, 7-5. The Reds scored both their runs off Seaver in the third inning. Darrel Chaney doubled and crossed the plate when Pete Rose singled. Rose rounded first on his hit and was thrown out trying to get back to the bag. However, Joe Morgan followed with a homer to produce what proved to be the winning run. Billingham, who gained his 13th victory on Friday the 13th, yielded only two hits, both in the fourth when the Mets scored on a single by Wayne Garrett and double by Cleon Jones. In the nightcap, the Mets bunched five hits with an error and sacrifice fly for four runs in the first inning, routing Jim McGlothlin. After the Mets added a tally on a homer by Jones in the second, Garrett knocked in the two deciding runs with a single in the eighth.

Dodgers 5, Cubs 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Playing before a Helmet Night crowd of 49,058, the Dodgers defeated the Cubs, 5-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Tommy John. The Dodgers backed John with two double plays, their 100th and 101st of the season. The Dodgers scored four runs in the third inning, three coming on a homer by Steve Garvey, and added a tally in the fourth on a walk to Davey Lopes and singles by Bill Buckner and Willie Davis to pin Fergie Jenkins with the 100th defeat of his career with the Cubs.

Phillies 5, Astros 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
Homers by Bill Robinson, Del Unser and Denny Doyle accounted for all of the Phillies' runs in a 5-3 victory over the Astros. Robinson hit a solo swat in the first inning. Unser delivered three runs, hitting his homer after Willie Montanez singled and Greg Luzinski was hit by a pitch in the third. Doyle supplied the Phils' last run in the seventh. Tommy Helms homered with a man on base for the Astros in the ninth.

Cardinals 5, Padres 3 at San Diego (night game):
The Cardinals ruined the major league debut of Frank Snook, rookie rlghthander from Alexandria (Texas), by breaking a tie with two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Padres, 5-3. Ted Simmons, the first batter to face Snook, who took over in relief in the ninth, reached second base on an error by Dwain Anderson and scored on a double by Luis Melendez. Mike Tyson followed with a triple. Dave Roberts and Johnny Grubb hit homers for the Padres. An old-timers' game, which was part of the night's program, helped the Padres attract a crowd of 25,483.

Giants 5, Pirates 2 at San Francisco (night game):
Willie McCovey batted in four runs with a homer and triple to enable Tom Bradley to pitch the Giants to a 5-2 victory over the Pirates. Bradley allowed only four hits, but two of them were homers by Richie Hebner and Al Oliver to stake the Pirates to a 2-0 lead. The Giants tied the score on a two-run homer by McCovey in the sixth inning and went ahead in that same stanza when Gary Thomasson tripled and Mike Phillips singled. McCovey then clinched the outcome with his triple in the seventh, driving in the final two runs. Braves 15, Expos 6 at Atlanta (night game):
The Reds won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 2-1, in a duel between Jack Billingham and Tom Seaver, but the Mets came back with a rush to capture the nightcap, 7-5. The Reds scored both their runs off Seaver in the third inning. Darrel Chaney doubled and crossed the plate when Pete Rose singled. Rose rounded first on his hit and was thrown out trying to get back to the bag. However, Joe Morgan followed with a homer to produce what proved to be the winning run.
