Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 5, Tigers 3 at Baltimore (day game):
A double by Brooks Robinson was the decisive hit as the Orioles scored four runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Tigers, 5-3. Pinch-hitter Terry Crowley ignited the rally with a double. After a single by Don Buford, Marl Belanger struck out, but Frank Robinson beat out an infield hit, scoring Merv Rettenmund, who ran for Crowley. A walk to Boog Powell and an infield hit by Paul Blair added another tally before Brooks Robinson hit his double, driving in two runs, to provide the winning margin.

Brewers 8, White Sox 4 at Chicago (day game):
The new Brewers, who got a lift from the slugging of Danny Walton, gained their first victory by exploding for four runs in the ninth inning to defeat the White Sox, 8-4. Walton kept the Brewers in the game by hitting a pair of two-run homers. In the ninth, a single by Max Alvis, an error on a bunt by Ted Kubiak and a single by Rich Rollins broke a 4-4 tie. The Brewers then added their other runs on a single by Russ Snyder and double by Steve Hovley. Luis Aparicio homered for the White Sox.

Angels 6, Royals 3 at Kansas City (night game):
Alex Johnson hit two homers, each good for three runs, to account for all of the Angels' scoring in a 6-3 victory over the Royals. Johnson connected for the first time with Sandy Alomar and Bill Voss on base in the first inning and duplicated the blow with Jim Fregosi and Voss aboard in the sixth. Luis Alcaraz homered for the Royals.

Twins 8, A's 2 at Minnesota (day game):
The Twins opened at home in 50-degree weather and warmed the enthusiasm of the crowd of 21,693 by defeating the Athletics, 8-2. Jim Kaat pitched a seven-hitter, with the A's runs coming on homers by Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson. Tony Oliva drove in two runs for the Twins with a bases-loaded single in the second inning and Kaat helped himself with a two-run single in the third.

Indians 3, Yankees 0 at New York (day game):
A diving catch by Ted Uhlaender with bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning saved the Indians' 3-0 victory over the Yankees. Dean Chance, making his first start in a Cleveland uniform, pitched seven innings to gain the decision. In the ninth, the Yankees loaded the bases against Mike Paul with one away. Dennis Higgins took over and struck out Thurman Munson. Roy White then lashed a drive to center on which Uhlaender made his catch. Lou Klimchock homered in the third for the Indians' first run and Leon batted in two others with singles in the fourth and sixth.

Senators 4, Red Sox 3 at Washington (night game):
Frank Howard hit his first homer of season, connecting with two men on base, to enable the Senators to defeat the Red Sox, 4-3. In the third inning Bernie Allen doubled and scored the Nats' first run on a single by John Roseboro. The next two batters went out, but Ed Brinkman walked and Howard followed with his round-tripper. Luis Alvarado, who hit two doubles, figured in the scoring of all the Red Sox runs.

Astros 8, Braves 7 at Houston (night game):
Two former Yankees, Jim Bouton and Joe Pepitone, led the way as the Astros defeated the Braves, 8-7. Pepitone hit a homer, triple and double. After his triple in the eighth inning, Pepitone scored what proved to be the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Denis Menke. Bouton, who helped himself with three hits, went into the ninth with an 8-2 lead, but then lost his stuff and the Braves rallied for five runs before Fred Gladding finally put down the threat.

Padres 4, Dodgers 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
In their poorest start since moving from Brooklyn in 1958, the Dodgers suffered their fifth straight defeat since the start of the season, bowing to the Padres, 4-0. Danny Coombs, who pitched the first six innings, combined with Ron Herbel in posting the shutout. Ed Spiezio sent the Padres on their way to victory by hitting a two-run homer in the second.

Pirates 4, Phillies 0 at Philadelphia (day game):
Luke Walker and Chuck Hartenstein combined to pitch the Pirates to a 4-0 victory over the Phillies. Walker weakened with one out in the ninth when Denny Doyle tripled and Larry Hisle walked. Hartenstein relieved and induced Deron Johnson to hit into a game-ending double play. Jose Pagan homered for the Pirates.

Giants 2, Reds 1 at San Francisco (day game):
Dave Concepcion bobbled a grounder by Gaylord Perry with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, enabling the Giants to defeat the Reds, 2-1. Ken Henderson opened the stanza with a single and Dick Dietz sacrificed. After Ron Hunt beat out an infield hit, the Reds walked Bob Burda intentionally. Perry followed with his grounder on which Henderson scored. Concepcion's fumble prevented a possible double play, but no error was charged because Perry was thrown out at first base.

Mets 4, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (day game):
Gary Gentry, who beat the Cardinals three straight times in 1969, made it four in a row by pitching the Mets to a 4-1 victory with last-out help from Ron Taylor. Gentry allowed only four hits, but left the mound after Leron Lee singled in the ninth inning and Carl Taylor walked with two out. Ron Taylor retired Phil Gagliano on a fly to end the game.
