Today's scores and summaries:

A's 7, White Sox 6 at Chicago (night game):
The Athletics were forced to call on five pitchers before posting a 7-6 victory over the White Sox to reduce their magic number to three for clinching the West Division title. The White Sox built up a 4-2 lead, but failed to hold it. The A's tied the score with two runs in the fourth inning on a single by Bert Campaneris, triple by Phil Garner and double by Sal Bando. Two more runs followed in the fifth on a double by Gene Tenace, an infield out that moved Tenace to third, a walk, wild pitch and single by Garner. The A's then added what proved to be their winning run in the seventh when Tenace walked and Ray Fosse tripled. Jim Todd, who followed Dick Bosman, Sonny Siebert and Paul Lindblad to the mound, s the winner. Rollie Fingers, who relieved in the ninth, gave up a homer by jorge Orta before retiring the side and receiving credit for his 23rd save.

Indians 2, Tigers 1 at Detroit (night game):
Boog Powell hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning and followed with a homer in the fourth to provide the Indians with a 2-1 victory over the Tigers. Dan Meyer homered for the Tigers' tally in the seventh.

Royals 4, Twins 3 at Minnesota (day game):
Taking advantage of two errors by Eddie Bane, the Royals scored twice in the seventh inning and defeated the Twins, 4-3. Amos Otis and Harmon Killebrew homered for the Royals' initial tallies, but the Twins came back to take a 3-2 lead with the aid of a circuit clout by Rod Carew. In the seventh, Killebrew drew a pass from Bane. The Twins' pitcher then committed throwing errors on two consecutive plays, loading the bases. Vada Pinson delivered a sacrifice fly to plate the tying run and Otis followed with a single for the winning marker.

Angels 5, Rangers 3 at Texas (night game):
Catcher Andy Etchebarren supplied the batting support for Frank Tanana to enable the Angels' lefthander to defeat the Rangers, 5-3. Tanana struck out 10, raising his season's total to 252. Etchebarren homered with two men on base in the sixth inning and singled and scored in the eighth when the Angels added their other runs. Jim Fregosi hit a two-run homer for the Rangers in the ninth.

Reds 4, Braves 3 at Atlanta (night game):
After scoring their first three runs on homers, the Reds counted in the 10th inning on a walk to Pete Rose and singles by Tony Perez and Bill Plummer to defeat the Braves, 4-3, for their 100th victory of the season. George Foster and Dan Driessen hit the Reds' first two homers consecutively in the fourth to tie the score at 2-2. Perez followed with a round-tripper in the fifth.

Mets 7, Cubs 5 at New York (night game):
Dave Kingman broke the Mets' club record for homers with his 35th of the season, hitting it with Rusty Staub on base in the ninth inning to beat the Cubs, 7-5. The Cubs knocked out Hank Webb before the Mets' starter could retire a batter in the first inning and jumped off to a 4-0 lead. The Mets, who had a two-run homer by Staub in the fifth, finally tied the score at 5-5 in the eighth.

Phillies 4, Pirates 1 at Philadelphia (night game):
Four-hit pitching by Steve Carlton, plus an attack that included homers by Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski, enabled the Phillies to keep their East Division hopes alive with a 4-1 victory over the Pirates. Rennie Stennett, who tripled and scored the Pirates' run in the first inning, added a later single and tied the N. L. record for most hits in three consecutive games, 12. The Phillies tied the score in their half of the first on a single by Dave Cash, double by Larry Bowa and sacrifice fly by Jay Johnstone. Schmidt hit his homer in the second and the Phillies made it 3-1 in the third when Bowa singled, stole second and counted on a single by Johnstone. Luzinski wrapped up the victory with his circuit clout in the fifth.

Expos 5, Cardinals 0 at St. Louis (night game):
Turning in his first shutout of the season, Steve Renko pitched the Expos to a 5-0 victory over the Cardinals. The triumph was only his sixth of the year, but third straight against the Redbirds. The Expos' attack included homers by Gary Carter and Pete Mackanin.
