Today's scores and summaries:
Orioles 11, Red Sox 3 at Baltimore (day game):
Two acquisitions from the Expos, Mike Torrez and Ken Singleton, joined veteran star Brooks Robinson in the spotlight as the Orioles battered the Red Sox, 11-3. Although tagged for 11 hits, Torrez had more than enough scoring support to last the route in his A. L. debut. Singleton drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly, double and grounder. Robinson lashed four hits, including a triple that plated two runs in the fifth inning. Robinson also scored four times. Fred Lynn batted in all three of the Red Sox runs with a sacrifice fly and two singles.
[DH] White Sox 7, Angels 5 (day game) / White Sox 5, Angels 4 at California (day game):
The White Sox, taking advantage of three errors, scored three runs in the 12th inning and won the opener of a doubleheader, 7-5, before completing the sweep with a 5-4 victory over the Angels in the nightcap. Carlos May hit a two-run homer for the White Sox in the lidlifter. Don Kirkwood, pitching in relief for the Angels, shut out the White Sox for eight innings, but the rookie doomed himself in the 12th. After Bucky Dent was safe on an error by Dave Chalk, Kirkwood committed back-to-back miscues on bunts by Brian Downing and Sharp. Mickey Scott took over and retired Buddy Bradford, but Jorge Orta singled for one run. After a second out, Ken Henderson completed his four-RBI game with a single to produce the winning margin. The Angels scored once in their half of the 12th on two walks and a single by Joe Lahoud. In the second game, Orta and Sharp drove in two runs apiece as the White Sox concentrated their scoring against Bill Singer in the first two innings. The Angels rallied for all their runs in the fifth before being stopped. Rich Gossage relieved for the White Sox in both games and was credited with two saves.
Royals 5, Twins 3 at Kansas City (day game):
Driving in two runs for his first RBIs of the season, Harmon Killebrew helped the Royals defeat the Twins, his former teammates, 5-3. Hal McRae batted in the Royals' other tallies, starting with a run-scoring double in the first inning. McRae accounted for another run with a single in the third before Killebrew came to the plate and drove in a pair with a single. Doubles by Amos Otis and McRae capped the Royals' scoring in the fourth. The Twins rallied for three runs in the ninth before Doug Bird came in to save the game for the Royals.
Indians 3, Brewers 1 at Milwaukee (day game):
Gaylord Perry gained his 200th major league victory when the Indians erupted for three runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Brewers, 3-1. Johnny Briggs homered for the Brewers' run in the first and Pete Broberg protected that edge in a duel with Perry until the ninth when John Lowenstein hit for the circuit to tie the score. After passing Oscar Gamble, Broberg yielded the mound to Tom Murphy. Ken Berry ran for Gamble and took third on a single by George Hendrick but was out at the plate on a grounder by Charlie Spikes. Boog Powell popped up, but John Ellis came through with a double, driving in both Hendrick and Spikes.
[DH] Yankees 6, Tigers 0 (day game) / Tigers 5, Yankees 2 at New York (day game):
The last major league club to break into the winning column this season, the Yankees ended their three-game losing streak with a 6-0 victory in the opener of a doubleheader before bowing to the Tigers in the nightcap, 5-2. Doc Medich pitched the Yankee shutout, allowing only two hits. Tom Walker, who came from the Expos, was a loser in his A. L. debut with the Tigers. Lerrin LaGrow hurled the route for the Tigers in the second game and got a running start when Ron LeFlore homered in the first inning. The Tigers then put the decision away in the third when Willie Horton singled with the bases loaded, driving in two runs, and another scored on an error by Graig Nettles.
Cubs 7, Expos 0 at Chicago (day game):
After starting 23 times for the Cubs last year without a shutout to his credit, Steve Stone made his first appearance of the new season and blanked the Expos on four hits, 7-0. Jerry Morales batted in three runs and Pete LaCock drove in two to support the righthander's hurling.
Dodgers 7, Astros 4 at Houston (day game):
Homers by Jim Wynn and Steve Yeager led the Dodgers' attack in a 7-4 victory over the Astros. Wynn hit his homer with a man on base in the fourth inning when the Dodgers took a 5-3 lead. Yeager added a solo swat in the fifth for his second RBI of the game after walking earlier with the bases loaded to force in a run. Yeager bruised his knee in a home-plate collision when Wilbur Howard scored for the Astros in the eighth and had to be carried off the field.
Phillies 2, Cardinals 0 at Philadelphia (day game):
Making his first major league start, Tom Underwood, lefthander from Reading (Eastern), yielded only five hits and pitched the Phillies to a 2-0 victory over the Cardinals. Greg Luzinski homered in the fourth inning for the only run that Underwood needed, but the Phillies provided more elbow room with another tally in the fifth. Bob Boone and Alan Bannister walked and, after Underwood bunted into a double play, erasing Boone, Bannister scored on a single by Dave Cash.
Pirates 5, Mets 3 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Although giving up two homers, Bruce Kison allowed only one other hit while pitching the Pirates to a 5-3 victory over the Mets, who lost with Tom Seaver on the mound. After the clubs had exchanged unearned runs, the Pirates took the lead in the third when Al Oliver singled for his 1,000th major league hit, stole second and came home on a single by Richie Zisk. Dave Kingman homered for the Mets in the fourth, but the Pirates went ahead again in their half on a single by Rennie Stennett and double by Richie Hebner. A homer by Stennett, walk to Oliver, single by Willie Stargell and grounder by Zisk give the Pirates their winning margin in the seventh before Rusty Staub homered for the Mets in the eighth.
Reds 10, Padres 0 at San Diego (day game):
Getting two-hit pitching from Don Gullett, the Reds breezed to a 10-0 victory over the Padres after scoring seven unearned runs on three errors in the fifth inning. Gullett did not issue a pass and retired the last 16 batters in succession. The lefthander also batted in two runs with a single in the Reds' big inning.
[DH] Giants 5, Braves 0 (day game) / Giants 4, Braves 2 at San Francisco (day game):
Two rookies, John Montefusco and Pete Falcone, pitched the Giants to 5-0 and 4-2 victories in a doubleheader with the Braves. Montefusco, who had a 3-2 record with the Giants late last season, but still is rated as a rookie, pitched for the first time in 19 days after injuring a finger in spring training. The young righthander allowed only four hits. The Giants were led by Gary Matthews, who rapped three hits including a homer. Garry Maddox drove in two runs with a double. Falcone, lefthander from Amarillo (Texas), worked eight innings in the nightcap before yielding the mound to Randy Moffitt. The Braves scored on a two-run homer by Vic Correll in the fourth. The Giants broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth with the aid of two errors by Dusty Baker. Maddox and Derrel Thomas singled and when Baker booted the ball in right field, Maddox scored. Thomas moved to second on a wild throw by Baker in returning the ball to the infield and crossed the plate on a single by Bobby Murcer.
