Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 3, Orioles 1 at Boston (day game):
Although missing his second consecutive shutout, Rick Wise pitched the Red Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Orioles. Bobby Grich wrecked Wise's bid by hitting a homer with one out in the ninth inning. Rick Burleson singled and scored on two errors for the Red Sox in the fifth and smashed a homer for the deciding run in the seventh.

Royals 3, Angels 2 at California (day game):
Deciding a four-hour, 43-minute marathon, the Royals scored in the 14th inning and defeated the Angels, 3-2. Bob Stinson drew a one-out walk from Dick Drago, took third on a single by Cookie Rojas and counted the winning run on a single by Amos Otis.

Yankees 4, Tigers 0 at Detroit (day game):
When Dave Pagan became ill during the night, Rudy May stepped in as substitute starter with only two days of rest and pitched the Yankees to a 1-0 victory over the Tigers. The Yanks scored all their runs on homers. Roy White hit for the circuit with two men on base in the sixth inning and Thurman Munson followed with another round-tripper.

Brewers 5, Indians 4 at Milwaukee (day game):
With two out in the eighth inning, the Brewers rallied for two runs to defeat the Indians, 5-4. George Scott started the rally with a single, Bill Sharp beat out a bunt and Bob Hansen walked to load the bases. The Indians then brought in Stan Thomas to replace Dennis Eckersley and on the reliever's first pitch, Gorman Thomas singled to drive in the tying and winning runs.

Twins 4, Rangers 3 at Minnesota (day game):
The first wild pitch of the season by Steve Foucault proved disastrous for the Rangers, who lost to the Twins, 4-3. Jeff Burroughs hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 3-1, but the Twins came back with a tally in their half on a double by Rod Carew and single by Butch Wynegar. Then in the seventh, Lyman Bostock drove in Bob Randall with a triple and scored the deciding run on Foucault's wild pitch. Dave Goltz recorded his fifth straight complete-game victory for the Twins.

White Sox 4, A's 3 at Oakland (day game):
Jack Brohamer doubled in the 12th inning for his third hit of the game and drove in Chet Lemon to give the White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Athletics. With two away, Lemon drew a walk from Rollie Fingers and stole second to set the stage for Brohamer's winning blow.

[DH] Astros 5, Braves 2 (day game) / Astros 16, Braves 5 at Atlanta (day game):
After beating Andy Messersmith in the first game, 5-2, the Astros piled up a club record of 25 hits in the second game and walloped the Braves, 16-5, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. Trhe first three batters to face Messersmith in the opener -- Greg Gross, Rob Andrews and Cesar Cedeno -- all singled and scored to settle the fate for the Braves' million-dollar pitcher. In the nightcap, Cliff Johnson collected four hits and Jerry DaVanon batted in five runs to lead the Astros' attack, giving rookie Gil Rondon credit for his first major league victory.

Pirates 4, Cubs 2 at Chicago (day game):
Jim Rooker gained his fifth straight victory and sixth in seven decisions when the Pirates defeated the Cubs, 4-2. With a 2-1 lead, the Pirates scored what proved to be their winning margin in the ninth inning on singles by Bob Robertson and Richie Zisk, a wild throw by Oscar Zamora on a bunt by Bill Robinson and a sacrifice fly by Tommy Helms. George Mitterwald homered in the Cubs' last half.

[DH] Dodgers 6, Reds 5 (day game) / Reds 7, Dodgers 2 at Cincinnati (day game):
Ron Cey rapped five straight hits to lead the Dodgers to a 6-5 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, but the Reds turned on their power to win the second game, 7-2. The Reds lost the first game although stealing nine bases, four by Ken Griffey, but one burst of speed by Cey proved their undoing. After hitting a single with one out in the ninth inning, Cey scored the Dodgers' winning run from first base when Joe Ferguson singled. Charlie Hough, pitching in relief, gained credit for his sixth straight victory without a defeat. In the nightcap, Santo Alcala won his fifth in a row when the Reds clinched their verdict with homers in the eighth inning by Bill Plummer, Tony Perez and Cesar Geronimo.

Cardinals 6, Mets 5 at New York (day game):
Ending an 0-for-20 slump, Don Kessinger drove in the tying run with a single in the ninth inning and then hit a sacrifice fly in the 11th to give the Cardinals a 6-5 victory over the Mets. Tom Seaver, winless since May 4, appeared to have the game in hand when the Mets went into the ninth with a 5-2 lead, but the ace righthander gave up three walks and yielded a two-run single to Lou Brock before being removed in favor of Skip Lockwood. Kessinger then hit his single to tie the score. The Cards loaded the bases again in the 11th on a single by Willie Crawford, an error and a walk before Kessinger hit his sacrifice fly.

Phillies 7, Expos 1 at Philadelphia (day game):
Jim Lonborg notched his eighth victory without a loss when Philadelphia exploded for six runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Expos, 7-1. Dick Allen doubled and Bob Boone walked to start the Phils' outburst and Lonborg moved both runners along with a sacrifice bunt. The Expos then passed Dave Cash intentionally to get at Larry Bowa. That strategy had worked in the fifth when Bowa popped up, but this time was different. The Phillies' shortstop tripled to drive in three runs. After a pass to Mike Schmidt, Greg Luzinskl singled to plate Bowa and Jay Johnstone completed the scoring with a two-run double.

Padres 4, Giants 3 at San Diego (day game):
The first major leaguer to win 10 games this season, Randy Jones achieved the feat by pitching the Padres to a 4-3 victory over the Giants in 10 innings. With the aid of a two-run homer by Mike Ivie, the Padres tied the score at 3-3 in the fifth before winning with an unearned run in the 10th. With one out, Giants' third baseman Ken Reitz fumbled a grounder by Enzo Hernandez and then threw wildly to first, allowing the batter to take an extra base. Tito Fuentes followed with a single, but Hernandez was thrown out at the plate, Fuentes taking second on the play, but Willie Davis then settled matters with a single that drove in Fuentes.
