Today's scores and summaries:

Royals 3, White Sox 0 at Chicago (day game):
Paul Splittorff yielded only two hits -- a single by Mike Andrews in the second inning and another by Johnny Jeter in the ninth -- while pitching the Royals to a 3-0 victory over the White Sox. Two errors by Ken Henderson led to the Royals' runs off Wilbur Wood. The center fielder dropped a fly by Freddie Patek in the fourth, paving the way for the initial tally, and then failed to hold another fly by Patek with the bases loaded in the seventh, allowing two runs to score.

Tigers 8, Indians 2 at Detroit (day game):
Making his first start for the Tigers, Jim Perry pitched a seven-hitter and defeated the Indians, 8-2. The Tigers broke the game open with four runs in the fifth inning. Mickey Stanley led off with a single and scored on sacrifice bunts by Ed Brinkman and Dick McAuliffe. Bill Freehan singled, Rich Reese walked and Norm Cash was safe on an error to load the bases and Gates Brown, the Tigers' designated hitter, cleared the sacks with a double. Aurelio Rodriguez homered for the Tigers in the sixth.

Orioles 5, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (day game):
Doyle Alexander gave up three singles and an unearned run in the first inning, but allowed only two more hits the rest of the way and pitched the Orioles to a 5-1 victory over the Brewers. The Orioles, after taking a 2-1 lead, iced the decision with three runs in the fourth. Terry Crowley walked, Mark Belanger was safe on a fielder's choice and Merv Rettenmund drew a pass to load the bases. Jim Colborn, relieving Skip Lockwood, struck out Bobby Grich and Boog Powell, but Earl Williams singled to drive in Crowley and Belanger and when Johnny Briggs bobbled the ball in left field, Rettenmund also came around to score.

A's 2, Twins 1 at Minnesota (day game):
A two-run homer by Reggie Jackson and the four-hit pitching of Ken Holtzman combined to bring the Athletics a 2-1 victory over the Twins. Bert Campaneris beat out an infield hit to open the game and, after two out, Jackson connected for his homer off Bert Blyleven. The Twins scored in the first inning on a triple by Larry Hisle and sacrifice fly by Rod Carew.

Red Sox 3, Yankees 1 at New York (day game):
The unbeaten Red Sox won their fourth straight game, all at the expense of the Yankees, when Luis Tiant and Bob Veale combined on a four-hitter to post a 3-1 victory. Felipe Alou homered for the Yankees' run in the second to tie the score at 1-1, but the Red Sox moved ahead to stay when Tommy Harper tripled and Carl Yastrzemski hit a sacrifice fly in the third. Doug Griffin, who had four hits in the game, accounted for the last Red Sox run with a homer in the sixth.

Dodgers 2, Braves 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
With two out in the ninth inning, Willie Crawford doubled and Joe Ferguson singled for the run that gave the Dodgers a 2-1 victory over the Braves. Claude Osteen was the winner on a three-hitter. The Braves' run in the third was unearned, coming on a triple by Ralph Garr after Marty Perez was safe on an error by Lee Lacy. However, Lacy made amends in the fifth. Von Joshua opened the inning with a walk, Bill Russell singled and Lacy followed with a single to drive in the tying run.

Expos 6, Pirates 4 at Montreal (day game):
The Expos, playing their home opener before 21,198 after a one-day delay because of cold weather, erupted for five runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Pirates, 6-4. The loss was the first for the Pirates, who had won four in a row since the start of the season. The Expos, who trailed, 3-1, opened their rally with a single by Ron Hunt and homer by Tim Foli. After one out, Ron Fairly also hit for the circuit. Al Oliver dropped a line drive by Ken Singleton in center field, allowing the batter to reach third. Jorge Roque grounded to third baseman Richie Hebner, whose throw home hit Singleton and enabled the runner to score. Coco Laboy followed with a double to drive in Roque.

Phillies 7, Mets 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
After struggling through the first two innings, Steve Carlton got into his stride and pitched the Phillies to a 7-3 victory over the Mets. The Phillies put their ace lefthander on easy street by breaking a 2-2 tie with four runs in the sixth inning. Deron Johnson led off with a double and scored on a two-bagger by pinch-hitter Bill Robinson. After an intentional pass to Bob Boone, Mike Anderson came up as a pinch-hitter and smashed a three-run homer for his first hit of the season.

Astros 8, Padres 5 at San Diego (night game):
Jim Wynn smashed his sixth homer of the season and Doug Rader hit his first, each with a man on base, to lead the Astros to an 8-3 victory over the Padres. In addition to their homers, Wynn and Rader rapped two singles apiece. The Astros snapped a 2-2 tie with four runs in the fifth inning. Jim York was safe on an error and scored on singles by Tommy Helms and Cesar Cedeno. Bob Watson doubled to drive in two runs before crossing the plate himself on a single by Rader.

Reds 3, Giants 0 at San Francisco (day game):
Roger Nelson, who was obtained from the Royals in a winter deal, gained his first N. L. victory with last-out help from Clay Carroll when the Reds defeated the Giants, 3-0. Nelson yielded singles by Tito Fuentes and Chris Speier with two away in the ninth before being relieved. Carroll walked Willie McCovey to load the bases and then retired Ed Goodson on a tap to the mound to end the game. Johnny Bench homered for the Reds in the fourth and also scored after drawing a walk in the sixth.

Cubs 4, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (day game):
The Cubs literally walked their way to a 4-1 victory through the wildness of Cardinal pitchers, who issued 13 bases on balls. A walk, single by Jim Hickman and an error produced the Cubs' initial run in the second. Ray Busse hit his first major league homer to tie the score in the Cardinals' half, but the Cubs broke away with two runs in the fifth on a pass, single by Jose Cardenal, sacrifice fly by Billy Williams, single by Ron Santo and two walks that forced in a run. Three Annie Oakleys and a passed ball admitted the final tally in the ninth.
