Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 9, White Sox 7 at Chicago (night game):
A homer by Carl Yastrzemski with Bernie Carbo on base and two out in the 14th inning lifted the Red Sox to a 9-7 victory over the White Sox. Carlos May and Brian Downing hit homers for the White Sox, but four unearned runs helped the Red Sox take a 7-6 lead before the White Sox tied the score in the ninth on a double by May and single by Ken Henderson. Rich Gossage, who pitched the last 7 2/3 innings for the White Sox in his longest relief performance of the season, finally drew the defeat when Carbo was hit by a pitch and Yastrzemski rapped his homer.

[DH] Angels 14, Tigers 7 (night game) / Tigers 5, Angels 3 at Detroit (night game):
A free-for-all fight that followed a knockdown of Willie Horton provided a wild interlude during the course of the Angels' 14-7 victory over the Tigers in the opener of a scheduled doubleheader. Rain delays that totaled one hour and four minutes, plus the 20-minute melee, made it impossible for the clubs to complete the second game before curfew time. The Tigers were leading, 5-3, with the aid of a two-run homer by Aurelio Rodriguez, when play was suspended after eight innings. The contest was completed prior to the start of the following night's regularly-scheduled game. Horton, who was brushed back by Frank Tanana in the first inning, charged the mound after being knocked down again in the fourth, setting off a brawl that involved players of both clubs. Horton was ejected. The Angels were led at bat by Leroy Stanton and Bruce Bochte. Stanton drove in a run with a single in the fourth and hit a homer with the bases loaded in the eighth for the Angels' first grand slam since Roger Repoz did it on April 24, 1971. Bochte batted in three runs with a single and double. John Wockenfuss and Nate Colbert homered for the Tigers.

Royals 7, Indians 1 at Kansas City (night game):
Cookie Rojas hit his first homer of the season, connecting with two men on base in the fourth inning, to help carry the Royals to a 7-1 victory over the Indians. Dennis Leonard, Royals' rookie righthander, pitched a six-hitter and was a winner at the expense of Gaylord Perry. The Royals counted their initial run in the third on a triple by Vada Pinson and error by Duane Kuiper on the relay from the outfield. John Mayberry opened the fourth with a walk and scored on singles by Hal McRae and Harmon Killebrew. After Fran Healy forced Killebrew, Rojas rapped his homer. Killebrew also homered for the Royals' final run in the eighth inning.

A's 5, Brewers 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
Bert Campaneris and Reggie Jackson hit homers to pace the Athletics to a 5-3 victory over the Brewers. Campaneris connected in the first inning. After the Brewers counted twice in the fifth on a single by Pedro Garcia, double by Mike Hegan and single by Robin Yount, the A's broke away with four runs in the sixth. Joe Rudi opened the inning with a single and Jackson followed with his homer. A walk to Gene Tenace, single by Billy Williams and a wild pitch added a run. Williams took second on the wild pitch, moved to third on a safe bunt by Phil Garner and scored the A's final run on a grounder by Campaneris.

Yankees 5, Twins 1 at New York (night game):
Scattering seven hits, Lee May extended his personal winning streak to five games by pitching the Yankees to a 5-1 victory over the Twins. The Yankees gave May enough runs to win when they scored twice in the second inning on singles by Thurman Munson, Rick Dempsey and Graig Nettles and a squeeze bunt by Sandy Alomar. A single by Elliott Maddox, double by Roy White and an error added a pair in the fifth. The final run counted in the seventh on a double by Maddox and single by White.

Orioles 9, Rangers 8 at Texas (night game):
The Orioles decided this slugfest with a run on a double by Ken Singleton in the 10th inning to defeat the Rangers, 9-8. Dave Duncan hit two homers for the Orioles and Lee May contributed one, each with a man on base, while the Rangers had solo swats by Toby Harrah and Roy Smalley. The Rangers grabbed an 8-7 lead in the eighth with three runs on singles by Mike Hargrove and Jim Spencer, a triple by Lenny Randle and squeeze bunt by Jim Sundberg. The Orioles tied the score in the ninth with singles by Tommy Davis, May and pinch-hitter Andy Etchebarren. In the 10th, Duncan singled and was forced out by Mark Belanger, who then showed his speed by scoring from first base on Singleton's double.

Reds 3, Cardinals 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
The Cardinals' seven-game winning streak came to an end when they ran up against Don Gullett's mastery and lost to the Reds, 3-1. Gullett, beating the Cardinals for the 11th time in 14 career decisions, was deprived of a shutout when Ted Simmons homered in the ninth inning. The Reds reached Bob Forsch for two runs in the third on a double by Gullett, singles by Pete Rose and Ken Griffey and an infield out by Dave Concepcion. Their other run came off reliever Mike Garman in the eighth on Griffey's third hit of the game, a sacrifice and single by Tony Perez.

Astros 5, Pirates 1 at Houston (night game):
The Astros got six-hit pitching from Larry Dierker and defeated the Pirates, 5-1. The Pirates' lone run came in the second inning on a double by Dave Parker, a wild pitch and infield hit by Frank Taveras. The Astros bounced back in their half with two runs off Bruce Kison on a walk to Milt May, triple by Enos Cabell and grounder by Doug Rader. Singles by Larry Milbourne and Greg Gross around a sacrifice by Dierker added a run in the fifth. Bob Moose, in relief of Kison, yielded the last two tallies, one scoring on an error in the sixth and the other on a wild pitch in the seventh.

Mets 2, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
After being held scoreless on three hits in the first seven innings, the Mets stirred up enough runs to beat the Dodgers, 2-1. Doug Rau, who started for the Dodgers, was staked to a one-run lead when Joe Ferguson hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the second. The Mets caught up in the eighth, scoring on a single by John Stearns and pinch-double by Jesus Alou. Mike Marshall relieved Rau and drew the defeat in the ninth. Rusty Staub walked, took second on a wild pitch and crossed the plate with the deciding run on a single by Mike Phillips.

Padres 3, Expos 1 at San Diego (night game):
Taking advantage of Dennis Blair's wildness, the Padres scored twice without benefit of a hit in the sixth inning to account for a 3-1 victory over the Expos. Blair loaded the bases on successive passes to Enzo Hernandez, Bobby Tolan and Dave Winfield before being removed in favor of Chuck Taylor. Mike Ivie hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Hernandez. Tolan took third on the play and also crossed the plate on another sacrifice fly by Tito Fuentes. The Padres added an unearned run in the eighth. Rich Folkers, who started for the first time this season, gained his first victory for the Padres. However, Folkers ran out of steam in the ninth and gave up a pass to Pepe Mangual and single by Bob Bailey. Danny Frisella relieved and walked Mike Jorgensen, but allowed only one run on a forceout by Larry Biittner before ending the game.

Giants 8, Phillies 3 at San Francisco (day game):
The Giants proved that three men were better than one while beating the Phillies, 8-3. Greg Luzinski was the big man for the Phillies with a homer, double and two singles, driving in all their runs. The Giants got more production from Chris Speier, Gary Thomasson and Willie Montanez, who accounted for seven RBIs among them. Thomasson doubled in the first inning and, after a walk and a bunt, scored on a sacrifice fly by Speier. Speier homered for one of the Giants' two runs in the third. Then in the fourth, Mike Sadek and Mike Caldwell singled and Thomasson homered to take the game out of the Phillies' reach. Montanez accounted for the last two runs, driving them across with a single in the sixth.
