Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 4, Tigers 3 at Baltimore (night game):
Johnny Oates tripled in the 12th inning, leading to the run that gave the Orioles a 4-3 victory over the Tigers. Boog Powell homered with a man on base in the first. The Tigers tied the score at 2-2 and knotted the count again at 3-3 in the ninth on a single by Dalton Jones, a walk, an error and a sacrifice fly by Mickey Stanley. After Oates tripled in the 12th, the Tigers walked Terry Crowley and Don Buford intentionally, but Mark Belanger broke up the game with a single.

Red Sox 2, Indians 1 at Boston (night game):
Homers by Carl Yastrzemski and Rico Petrocelli carried the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Indians and extended their winning streak to six games. Yastrzemski's smash in the first inning represented his 100th RBI of the season. The Indians tied the score in the second. Chuck Hinton walked and was forced by John Lowenstein, who stole second, continued to third on catcher Bob Montgomery's wild throw and crossed the plate on a single by Eddie Leon. Petrocelli hit his homer in the Red Sox half, enabling Sonny Siebert to gain the decision with help from Bobby Bolin, who relieved in the eighth.

[DH] White Sox 8, Royals 4 (day game) / Royals 8, White Sox 2 at Chicago (day game):
Bill Melton set a White Sox club record with his 30th homer of the season, leading to an 8-4 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Royals came back to win the second game, 8-2. After Paul Schaal homered in the seventh inning of the lidlifter to tie the score at 4-4, Melton whacked his round-tripper in the home half and the White Sox clinched the decision with three more runs in the eighth. Jim York, making his major league debut for the Royals in the nightcap, was the winner with 4 2/3 innings of relief pitching. The Royals broke a 1-1 tie with three runs in the sixth inning, featuring a triple by Schaal with two on base. These games originally were scheduled for Kansas City, but were rained out there and were transferred to Chicago. Paid attendance at Comiskey Park was only 672.

Angels 7, Brewers 6 at Milwaukee (night game):
A triple by Roger Repoz, who drove in two runs in the eighth inning, enabled the Angels to outlast the Brewers, 7-6. Repoz also had a run-scoring single in the fourth. Jay Johnstone hit a pinch-homer for the Angels with a man on base in the seventh and Tom Murphy followed with another circuit clout. Phil Roof homered for the Brewers with two aboard in the fourth, while Tommy Harper accounted for their last three runs with a pair of round-trippers.

Yankees 5, Senators 2 at New York (night game):
Fritz Peterson posted his 18th victory, a personal high for the lefthander, when the Yankees defeated the Senators, 5-2. Danny Cater and Bobby Murcer each batted in two runs, while Jim Lyttle accounted for the other tally with a homer. Mike Epstein rapped a round-tripper for the Senators.

A's 6, Twins 0 at Oakland (night game):
Vida Blue pitched a no-hitter, with only one walk to mar his performance, as the Athletics defeated the Twins, 6-0. Bert Campaneris, who made a leaping catch of a line drive by George Mitterwald in the fifth inning to help the young lefthander, also led the A's at bat with a triple and a homer.

Reds 2, Astros 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
A trio of Reds' pitchers combined on a four-hitter and shut out the Astros, 2-0. Don Gullett hurled the first five innings. Clay Carroll and Wayne Granger worked two apiece. The Reds scored a run in the opening frame on a single by Tommy Helms and double by Bobby Tolan. The other tally in the eighth counted on a single by Pete Rose, a sacrifice, an infield out and an error.

Giants 7, Dodgers 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Juan Marichal pitched his first shutout of the season and posted a 7-0 victory to move the Giants into a tie with the Dodgers for second place in the West division. Willie Mays hit a homer and two singles, driving in four runs, to lead the Giants' attack.
