Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 4, Rangers 3 at California (night game):
Although Fergie Jenkins pitched another fine game, the ex-Cubs' righthander was a victim of two unearned runs when the Rangers lost to the Angels, 4-3. An error led to one of the Angels' three runs in the first inning. The Rangers came back with a pair on a homer by Tom Grieve in the third and tied the score in the fourth, but another error beat Jenkins in the ninth. Richie Scheinblum singled and, with two out, Ellie Rodriguez also singled and when Alex Johnson let the ball get away from him in left field, Scheinblum scored the winning run.

Brewers 6, Indians 4 at Cleveland (day game):
With two out in the ninth inning, Don Money hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to give the Brewers a 6-4 victory over the Indians. A walk to Darrell Porter, single by Bob Coluccio and pass to Bob Sheldon preceded Money's drive off reliever Cecil Upshaw to break a 2-2 tie. An Indians' counter-rally in the home half of the ninth fell short with two runs, one on a homer by Dave Duncan. The Indians drew 22,036 for their home opener, which had been delayed one day by bad weather.

Royals 4, A's 1 at Kansas City (night game):
Homers by John Mayberry and Freddie Patek, together with the six-hit pitching of Steve Busby, enabled the Royals to defeat the Athletics, 4-1. Mayberry homered after a single by Cookie Rojas in the first inning. Patek added his round-tripper in the fifth. The Royals' final run counted in the eighth when Amos Otis tripled and Fran Healy doubled.

Twins 6, White Sox 5 at Minnesota (day game):
Taking advantage of five walks, the Twins scored four runs in the seventh inning to defeat the White Sox, 6-5. With one out, Stan Bahnsen passed Jim Holt before being removed. Terry Forster walked Randy Hundley and yielded a run-scoring double by Jerry Terrell. Passes to Sergio Ferrer and Rod Carew forced in another run. Cy Acosta replaced Forster and walked Larry Hisle to force in the tying tally. Tony Oliva then hit a sacrifice fly to plate the deciding run.

Dodgers 4, Braves 0 at Atlanta (night game):
Posting their third shutout victory in five games this season, the Dodgers defeated the Braves, 4-0, behind the pitching of Tommy John and Mike Marshall. John allowed four hits in eight innings to beat the Braves for the sixth straight time in his career. Marshall hurled a hitless ninth. Lee Lacy, observing his 26th birthday, singled twice and scored the first two Dodger runs.

Cubs 7, Phillies 6 at Chicago (day game):
After hitting a three-run homer in the first inning, Billy Williams drove in two more runs with a single in the ninth to lift the Cubs to a 7-6 victory over the Phillies. Williams also had two other hits, including a double in the fifth when the Cubs counted twice to tie the score at 5-5. The Phillies went ahead in the ninth with a run on a sacrifice fly by Greg Luzinski. In the Cubs' half, Rick Monday walked and took third on a single by Jerry Morales, who advanced an extra base on a fumble by Luzinski before Williams singled.

Mets 3, Cardinals 2 at New York (day game):
After a one-day delay because of rain, the Mets opened their home season before a crowd of 17,154 and defeated the Cardinals, 3-2. John Curtis, making his N. L. debut with the Cards, was tagged for two runs in the first inning on a pair of walks and singles by John Milner and Jerry Grote. Grote followed with a homer in the sixth for what proved to be the winning run. The Cardinals, who picked up a run in the second, rallied against Jerry Koosman in the ninth and scored on a triple by Reggie Smith and single by Ted Simmons. After Bake McBride also singled, Bob Apodaca, rookie righthander from Tidewater (International), relieved with one out and induced Tim McCarver to ground into a double play.

Expos 12, Pirates 8 at Pittsburgh (day game):
The Expos, who had been idle since the start of the season because of bad weather, finally swung into action and defeated the Pirates, 12-8, with a four-run outburst in the 13th inning. Bob Robertson hit a pinch-homer for the Pirates with a man on base in the ninth to force the game into overtime. Larry Lintz opened the 13th with a double and, after an intentional pass to Ken Singleton, Jim Cox doubled to drive in the tie-breaking tally. Following another intentional pass to Barry Foote, Ron Woods stroked a two-run single and Chuck Taylor, the Expos' winning reliever, doubled for the fourth run. The game was the Pirates' delayed opener and drew a crowd of 40,434.

Astros 9, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
The Astros erupted for six runs in the fifth inning and defeated the Padres, 9-1. The Padres counted on a triple by Derrel Thomas and infield out by Glenn Beckert in the third inning, but the lead was short-lived. Cesar Cedeno homered for the Astros in the fourth and another run followed on singles by Milt May, Lee May and Doug Rader. The Astros then went on their binge in the fifth with six hits, including two-run doubles by Tommy Helms and Dave Roberts.

Giants 4, Reds 3 at San Francisco (day game):
Making up for two errors, Dave Kingman broke a 2-2 tie with a homer in the sixth inning and Bobby Bonds followed with a circuit clout in the seventh for the deciding run as the Giants defeated the Reds, 4-3. The Reds' first two runs were unearned on Kingman's errors and one by Steve Ontiveros. Ontiveros doubled for a run when the Giants tied the score in the third. Following the Giants' homers, the Reds fell short with a run in the eighth on a pass to Johnny Bench, single by Tony Perez and sacrifice fly by Merv Rettenmund.
