Today's scores and summaries:

Yankees 12, Red Sox 1 at Boston (day game):
The Yankees scored 10 runs in the first four innings and coasted past the Red Sox in the Patriots' Day morning game, 12-1, beating nemesis Bill Lee in the process. Four hits and a walk off Lee, a winner in nine of 11 previous decisions against New York, gave the Yankees a 4-0 lead in the first. The Yanks continued their bombardment against Lee and reliever Dick Drago in the fourth, counting six times on seven hits. The winners added single runs in the sixth and eighth, with the final marker coming on a homer by Roy White, who had four hits and scored four runs. Winner Pat Dobson shut out Boston through eight innings, giving only one hit in the first seven frames. The Red Sox' only marker came in the ninth on Bob Heise's RBI single.

Twins 8, Angels 6 at California (night game):
Rod Carew's eighth-inning pinch-hit sacrifice fly unlocked the game's third tie, helping the Twins down the Angels, 8-6, in a game protested by California manager Dick Williams, who lodged an objection in the sixth when Minnesota's Luis Gomez was allowed to remain in the game after throwing his batting helmet. Gomez drew an automatic fine, as did Twins' pitcher Bill Butler, who threw his glove after being removed in the bottom of the same inning, when the Angels scored twice to tie the score at 6-6. Larry Hisle hit a three-run homer in the fourth to produce the game's second deadlock, scored the go-ahead run on Carew's long fly in the eighth and knocked in an insurance run in the ninth.

A's 11, Rangers 6 at Oakland (night game):
The Athletics wiped out 3-1 a Ranger lead in the fourth with a five-run flurry and went on to beat Texas, 11-6. A wild throw by first baseman Mike Hargrove allowed two Oakland runs to score. Sal Bando unknotted the tie with a two-run triple and then scored the fifth run of the inning on a wild pitch by loser Jim Bibby, who allowed seven hits. He wild-pitched a run home in the second and walked six before being lifted in the sixth when the A's scored two more on Joe Rudi's double. Two Ranger errors, a walk and singles by Billy Williams and Gene Tenace accounted for the final three Oakland runs in the eighth. Texas counted three runs in the fourth on a pair of walks, a single by Jeff Burroughs and doubles by Hargrove and Toby Harrah. The Rangers tallied once in the fifth and Harrah closed out the Texas scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth.

Dodgers 2, Braves 1 at Atlanta (night game):
A ground double into the right-field corner by rookie Henry Cruz with two out in the top of the ninth scored Lee Lacy from second, giving the Dodgers a 2-1 nod over the Braves. Lacy, subbing for injured Jim Wynn, had opened the ninth with a single and moved to second on an infield out. Cey was given an intentional walk, but Joe Ferguson flied out for the second out of the frame. Ron Cey hit a leadoff homer in the second to give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead, but Vic Correll opened the seventh with a homer to tie the score. Winner Andy Messersmith and loser Buzz Capra both went the route.

Giants 4, Reds 3 at Cincinnati (night game):
A three-run homer by Johnny Bench was not enough for the Reds, who lost to the Giants, 4-3, in 10 innings. The winning run in the extra frame was scored by Gary Matthews, who opened with a double, moved to third on an infield out and crossed the plate on a single by Chris Speier. The Reds had taken a 3-2 lead in the seventh when Bench homered behind a walk to Dave Concepcion and single by Joe Morgan. San Francisco tied the score in the eighth when Ed Goodson singled, pinch-runner Gary Thomasson advanced to third when Speier's grounder got past John Vukovich at third for an error, Steve Ontiveros was walked intentionally to load the bases and Marc Hill hit a sacrifice fly.

Padres 4, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Randy Jones, 8-22 with the Padres last season, claimed his second victory of the 1975 campaign when he shut out the Astros on six hits, 4-0. Loser Jim Crawford, a rookie just up from Iowa, wild-pitched home San Diego's final run in the fifth, but was a victim of earlier lack of support in the field by the Astros. The Padres scored two unearned runs in the second after Roger Metzger booted Tito Fuentes' two-out grounder. Fuentes drove in the winners' third run in the fourth after Dave Winfield singled and moved to second on a passed ball.
