Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 3, Tigers 2 at Baltimore (day game):
A single by Brooks Robinson with two out in the 10th inning scored Frank Robinson from second base and gave the Orioles a 3-2 victory over the Tigers in the home opener before 33,638. After the Orioles picked up an unearned run in the third, the Tigers went ahead in the fifth on a single by Dick McAuliffe, a walk and singles by Willie Horton and Jim Northrup. The Orioles came back to tie the count in their half when Jim Palmer walked and Mark Belanger doubled. In the tenth, Frank Robinson walked and advanced on an infield out by Boog Powell. Paul Blair popped up, but Brooks Robinson then came through with his winning single.

White Sox 5, Brewers 4 at Chicago (day game):
Sparked by Bobby Knoop, who hit a homer, the White Sox broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the fifth inning and then outlasted the Brewers, 5-4. After Knoop's blow, Walt Williams doubled and scored on a single by Luis Aparicio, who advanced to second on the throw to the plate. Carlos May followed with a single, driving in Aparicio with what proved to be the winning run.

Angels 11, Royals 7 at Kansas City (night game):
A five-run outburst in the fifth inning helped carry the Angels to an 11-7 victory over the Royals behind the relief pitching of Mel Queen. With Roger Repoz hitting a two-run homer, the Angels were ahead, 4-1, going into their big inning. The first run of the frame scored on a pass to Bill Voss with the bases loaded. Alex Johnson doubled to drive in two tallies and two more followed on a sacrifice fly by Jim Spencer and a single by Joe Azcue. Ed Kirkpatrick batted in three runs for the Royals with a homer and double, while Luis Alcaraz accounted for two RBIs with a triple.

Red Sox 4, Senators 1 at Washington (night game):
Jim Lonborg, who yielded only six hits in seven innings, gained his first victory since last July 27 when the Red Sox defeated the Senators, 4-1. The Red Sox scored twice in the third inning on a single by Reggie Smith, double by Carl Yastrzemski, an infield out and a wild pitch. The final pair counted in the ninth on singles by Smith and George Scott, a double by Rico Petrocelli and a sacrifice fly by Luis Alvarado. Mike Epstein homered for the Senators' marker.

Braves 5, Astros 0 at Houston (night game):
Hank Aaron moved into first place among active N. L. players in grand-slam homers, smashing the 13th of his career, to power the Braves to a 5-0 victory over the Astros. Aaron's blow came off Tom Griffin in the third inning after George Stone and Felix Millan singled and Sonny Jackson walked. Aaron also singled in the seventh, setting up the Braves' last run, for the 2,963rd hit of his career and he took over tenth place on the all-time list ahead of Hall of Famer Sam Crawford.

Padres 7, Dodgers 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
The tremendous relief pitching of Dave Roberts, who yielded only one hit in seven and two-thirds innings, enabled the Padres to defeat the Dodgers, 7-2. Roberts retired 18 batters in a row after replacing Mike Corkins with the bases loaded and one out in the second inning. The Padres scored four of their runs in the first. A single by Tommy Dean, double by Van Kelly, a passed ball and wild pitch accounted for the first two tallies. Al Ferrera then singled and Nate Colbert climaxed the stanza with a homer.

Cubs 2, Expos 1 at Montreal (day game):
With two out in the ninth inning, Johnny Callison hit his first homer in a Cubs' uniform to defeat the Expos, 2-1. Joe Sparma, who started for the Expos in a bid for his first N. L. victory, allowed only three hits until there were two away in the ninth when Ron Santo singled and Callison crashed his homer.

Phillies 2, Pirates 0 at Philadelphia (day game):
Woodie Fryman's bid for the first no-hitter in Phillies' history in Connie Mack Stadium was foiled after seven and one-third innings, but the lefthander defeated the Pirates, 2-0. Al Oliver beat out an infield grounder to deep short to spoil Fryman's efforts. The Pirates went on to add three more hits before the game ended. Bob Veale, who was the loser in the duel, yielded only three hits in seven innings, but they included a single by Denny Doyle and a homer by Deron Johnson for the Phillies' runs in the fourth.

Giants 4, Reds 3 at San Francisco (night game):
In a new role as a pinch-hitter, Ron Hunt started the third straight game-winning rally for the Giants, hitting a double in the eighth inning and scoring on a single by Bobby Bonds to defeat the Reds, 4-3. After the Reds took a 2-0 lead, Ken Henderson singled and scored for the Giants in the second and batted in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the fifth. The Reds palled even in the eighth when Pete Rose singled and Bernie Carbo tripled.

Cardinals 7, Mets 3 at St. Louis (night game):
The largest opening-game crowd in St. Louis history, 45,960, saw the Cardinals erupt for seven runs in the third inning and defeat the Mets, 7-3. Joe Torre drove in the first two runs with a bases-loaded double. George Culver, winner of his first start in a Cardinal uniform, also batted in two runs with a triple and scored himself on Jose Cardenal's second single of the stanza.
