Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 8, Yankees 3 at Boston (day game):
George Scott, Tony Conigliaro and Reggie Smith smashed homers as the Red Sox entertained a home opening crowd of 34,002 by defeating the Yankees, 8-3. Frank Tepedino hit a two-run homer for the Yankees. Smith, whose round-tripper broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth inning, also tripled and scored on a passed ball in the seventh and drove in two runs with a double in the eighth.

White Sox 3, Angels 1 at California (night game):
The Angels, who won five straight games on the road, opened at home before a crowd of 18,229 on a chilly night and lost to the White Sox, 3-1. Joe Horlen, who had relief help from Wilbur Wood, received credit for the 100th victory of his career. The White Sox scored all their runs in the first inning on a single by Ken Berry, an error on grounder by Carlos May, a passed ball that permitted Berry to score, a double by Bill Melton and single by Duane Josephson.

Tigers 12, Indians 4 at Detroit (day game):
Supported by a 15-hit attack, Mickey Lolich pitched the Tigers to a 12-4 victory over the Indians before a home opening-day crowd of 46,891. Every player in the Tigers' lineup scored at least once and every player, except Cesar Gutierrez, broke into the hit column and batted in one or more runs. Norm Cash had a homer. Roy Foster collected four of the Indians' 12 hits and Ted Ford homered for his first major league hit.

A's 9, Brewers 1 at Oakland (night game):
The Athletics, who were beneficiaries of two errors in taking a 4-1 lead, settled all doubts by breaking loose for five runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Brewers, 9-1. Singles by Dick Green, Roberto Pena, Dave Duncan and Bert Campaneris accounted for the first two tallies in the eighth before Rick Monday capped the scoring with a three-run homer.

Giants 15, Braves 11 at Atlanta (night game):
Kein Henderson climaxed a perfect night at the plate by smashing a grand-slam homer in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 15-11 victory in a slugfest with the Braves. Gary Neibauer issued three passes to load the bases before Milt Pappas took the mound to become the victim of Henderson's wallop. The Braves began the scoring with eight runs in the second inning. Tony Gonzalez, batting twice in the stanza, accounted for three RBIs with a double and a single. The Giants came back with five runs in the third, three counting on a homer by Dick Dietz, but Hank Aaron hit for the circuit with a man on base in the home half to put the Braves ahead, 10-5. The Giants rallied for four runs in the fourth and, after the Braves picked up a marker in the sixth, Willie McCovey tied the score at 11-11 with a two-run homer in the eighth.

Cubs 5, Phillies 4 at Chicago (day game):
Playing before a standing-room-only crowd of 36,316 in the home opener at Wrigley Field, the Cubs survived a ninth-inning uprising and defeated the Phillies, 5-4. The Cubs jumped on Chris Short for three runs in the first on safe bunts by on Kessinger and Glenn Beckert and doubles by Ernie Banks and Johnny Callison. Two other runs counted in the seventh on a double by Kessinger, singles by Billy Williams and Ron Santo and a wild pitch. In the ninth, the Phillies rallied for their four runs on a single by Tony Taylor, triple by Don Money, single by Johnny Briggs and homer by Rick Joseph before Ken Holtzman wrapped up his victory.

Reds 6, Padres 1 at Cincinnati (night game):
Consecutive homers by Tony Perez and Johnny Bench in the fourth inning and a grand-slam by Bobby Tolan in the seventh powered the Reds to a 6-1 victory over the Padres. Tolan's smash came off Danny Coombs after the Reds loaded the bases on singles by Dave Concepcion and Tommy Helms around a walk to Pete Rose. Wayne Simpson, who was the winner with the assistance of Wayne Granger, extended his scoreless streak to 15 innings before giving up the Padres' run in the seventh on a single by Nate Colbert and double by Cito Gaston.

Dodgers 3, Astros 2 at Houston (night game):
A homer by Willie Crawford, together with run-scoring singles by Wes Parker and Billy Grabarkewitz, enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Astros, 3-2. Willie Davis walked, stole second and crossed the plate on Parker's single in the first inning. Crawford homered in the fourth. Parker walked in the seventh, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored what proved to be the winning run when Grabarkewitz singled.

Pirates 6, Mets 4 at New York (day game):
After ceremonies to commemorate their world championship, the Mets disappointed a home-opening crowd of 41,679 by losing to the Pirates, 6-4, on two unearned runs in the 10th inning. The Pirates took a 3-2 lead on a homer by Gene Alley in the seventh, but the Mets went ahead in their half on a single by Cleon Jones with the bases loaded and an error by Bob Robertson handling the ball in left field. Robertson made amends for his bobble by smashing a homer to tie the score in the ninth. Jerry May walked for the Pirates in the tenth and gave way to Johnny Jeter. Chuck Hartenstein bunted and when Tug McGraw threw wildly in an attempted forceout, Jeter advanced to third and Hartenstein reached second. Matty Alou followed with a single, scoring Jeter. After an intentional pass to Bill Mazeroski, Roberto Clemente and Robertson went out, but Richie Hebner batted for Jose Pagan and singled to plate an insurance run.

Cardinals 6, Expos 5 at St. Louis (night game):
The Expos succeeded in knocking out Bob Gibson, but the Cardinals came from behind to gain a 6-5 victory in 10 innings. The Expos took a 4-3 lead with three runs at Gibson's expense in the seventh, but the Cardinals tied the score with a homer by Jose Cardenal in their half. The Expos went ahead again in the tenth when Mack Jones walked and Marv Staehle tripled. The Cardinals came back to win with a two-run rally. Leron Lee singled and when Joe Hague bunted, both runners were safe on Bob Bailey's wide throw to second. Julian Javier forced Lee but Jim Campbell batted for Dal Maxvill and singled to tie the score. After a walk to Vic Davalillo, Cookie Rojas batted for Sal Campisi and beat out a trickler down the third base line as Javier scored the winning run.
