Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 7, Red Sox 6 at Boston (day game):
After two days of delay because of bad weather, the Red Sox opened their home season before a crowd of 23,196, but failed to live up to the occasion and lost to the Orioles, 7-6, in 11 innings. The Orioles, who had a two-run homer by Rich Coggins before the game went into overtime, went ahead with a run in the 10th when Bobby Grich was safe on an error and Tommy Davis doubled, but Juan Beniquez homered in the Red Sox half to tie the score again. With one out in the Orioles' 11th, Elrod Hendricks singled and Coggins walked. Grich then bounced into a forceout at second, but Doug Griffin threw wildly to first trying for a double play, and Hendricks scored on the error.

Angels 11, Rangers 8 at California (night game):
The Angels piled up 15 hits, including homers by Leroy Stanton, Frank Robinson and Mike Epstein, to defeat the Rangers, 11-8. The Rangers scored four runs in the first inning, but the Angels picked up a pair of singletons before going ahead for good when Stanton hit his homer with two men on base in the third. Robinson also drove in three runs with his homer and a sacrifice fly.

Brewers 7, Indians 6 at Cleveland (day game):
Although taking a 5-1 lead in the first inning, the Indians' search for their first victory of season failed when they lost to the Brewers, 7-6. John Ellis hit a two-run homer for the Indians. Pedro Garcia hit a homer in the second for the Brewers, who chipped away at the Indians' lead until going ahead when Johnny Briggs connected for the circuit with a man on base in the fifth. Bob Coluccio then accounted for what proved to be the winning run with a single in the seventh.

Tigers 4, Yankees 1 at Detroit (day game):
Joe Coleman did not allow a hit for the first 7 1/3 innings while pitching the Tigers to a 4-1 victory over the Yankees. Gene Michael wrecked Coleman's bid for a no-hitter with a single and Roy White then homered in the ninth for the Yankees' second and last hit. The Tigers' scoring began with a run in the third on a double by Gary Sutherland and single by Aurelio Rodriguez. A pass to Al Kaline and homer by Mickey Stanley accounted for two of the Tigers' final runs in the seventh.

White Sox 4, Twins 4 at Minnesota (day game):
The White Sox and Twins played to a 4-4 tie in a game that was stopped by rain and wet grounds after six innings. Bobby Darwin, who hit a triple and single, drove in three runs for the Twins and scored one. Ken Henderson had two doubles for the White Sox and Ron Santo batted in two runs. The game will be replayed in its entirety at a later date, but all individual performances count in the statistics.

Braves 6, Dodgers 4 at Atlanta (night game):
Hank Aaron hit the 716th homer of his career in the seventh inning when the Braves rallied for three runs to defeat the Dodgers, 6-4. After the Dodgers scored three times in the top half of the seventh to go ahead, 4-3, Mike Lum opened the Braves' rally with a score-tying homer. One out later, Aaron rapped his round-tripper off Charlie Hough to snap a string of eight hitless times at bat since hitting his record-breaking 715th homer. Before the inning ended, the Braves added an extra run on a walk to Dusty Baker and double by Johnny Oates.

Phillies 4, Cubs 3 at Chicago (day game):
Pinch-hitter Tommy Hutton came through with a two-run homer in the ninth inning to enable the Phillies to defeat the Cubs, 4-3. The Cubs, who scored three unearned runs off Steve Carlton in the fourth, had Horacio Pina on the mound to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth, but the reliever walked Willie Montanez and, after Billy Grabarkewitz came in to run, Hutton hit the next pitch into the right field bleachers. The Cubs loaded the bases with one out in their half of the ninth, but Eddie Watt came in and induced Jose Cardenal to ground into a double play.

[DH] Cardinals 8, Mets 7 (day game) / Cardinals 4, Mets 3 at New York (day game):
The Cardinals, after failing to hold a 6-0 lead in the first game, came back to sweep a doubleheader with the Mets, 8-7 and 4-3. The Redbirds' first six runs in the lidlifter were achieved with three homers off Tom Seaver. The Mets rallied with the aid of a two-run rap by Wayne Garrett to go ahead, 7-6, but the Cardinals won with two unearned runs in the eighth inning. Bake McBride singled and when Ken Reitz bunted, John Milner threw high to second base. After a sacrifice, runs scored on a sacrifice fly by Jose Cruz and single by Ted Sizemore. In the second game, the Cardinals had a pinch-homer by Jim Hickman, but trailed by one run going into the ninth when they rallied to win again on singles by Ted Simmons, McBride and Cruz and a sacrifice fly by Tim McCarver.

Expos 5, Pirates 1 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Steve Rogers pitched a six-hitter and Ron Fairly drove in two runs to lead the Expos to a 5-1 victory over the Pirates. Fairly doubled for one of the Expos' two runs in the third inning and singled in the seventh when the Expos added another pair. The Pirates had a chance to get into the game with the bases loaded and none out in the eighth, but settled for only one run that scored when Richie Hebner grounded into a double play.

Astros 9, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Sending 11 men to the plate, the Astros scored six runs in the second inning and defeated the Padres, 9-1. The Astros collected five hits in their big inning, including doubles by Milt May, Cesar Cedeno and Bob Watson. Cedeno and Watson drove in two runs apiece. Watson accounted for his third RBI with a homer in the fourth.
