Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 6, White Sox 5 at Chicago (day game):
Bill Singer, who underwent arm surgery during the 1974 season, gained his first victory since last May 31 when the Angels defeated the White Sox, 6-5. Wilbur Wood, who suffered his fourth straight setback, was matched in a 2-2 duel with Singer until the seventh inning when the Angels broke away with three runs. Ellie Rodriguez doubled and scored on a single by Jerry Remy and an error on the hit by Bill Sharp in right field. Remy stole second and advanced to third on a safe bunt by Orlando Ramirez. After Ramirez stole second, both runners scored when Jorge Orta booted a grounder by Morris Nettles. The Angels added what proved to be the winning run in the eighth with the aid of an error and passed ball by Brian Downing. Singer was lifted when the White Sox rallied for three runs in the home half of the eighth. However, only one of their five runs in the game was earned.

Brewers 3, Indians 0 at Cleveland (day game):
While posting an 11-4 record with the Brewers last season, Bill Champion did not gain his third victory until July 6, but the righthander moved far ahead of his 1974 pace by winning his third straight game, shutting out the Indians on two hits, 3-0. The Brewers put together doubles by Darrell Porter and Sixto Lezcano in the second inning to seal Jim Perry's fate. George Scott homered in the ninth and another run followed before the inning ended on a double by Don Money, wild pitch by reliever Tom Buskey and sacrifice fly by Pedro Garcia.

Tigers 8, Yankees 3 at Detroit (day game):
The Tigers knocked out Catfish Hunter in the fourth inning and beat the Yankees, 8-3, to hand the millionaire righthander his third straight defeat. The victory was the Tigers' second over Hunter, who again was the target of a homer by Willie Horton. When the Tigers beat Hunter, 5-3, in his first start for the Yankees April 11, Horton smashed a two-run homer. Horton's circuit clout this time was a three-run blow in the first inning, following singles by Ron LeFlore and Gary Sutherland. Hunter then retired the next nine batters before being chased in the fourth when Nate Colbert doubled, Bill Freehan drove in a run with a single and Dan Meyer doubled. After Mike Wallace relieved, Leon Roberts batted for Art James and doubled to score Colbert and Freehan. Aurelio Rodriguez accounted for the Tigers' last two runs with a homer in the sixth.

A's 4, Twins 1 at Oakland (day game):
With last-out help from Rollie Fingers, Vida Blue pitched the Athletics to a 4-1 victory over the Twins. The A's decided the game with two unearned runs on a wild throw by Ray Corbin in the fourth inning, but Reggie Jackson made the decision legitimate by smashing a homer with a man on base in the sixth. Danny Thompson homered for the Twins' lone tally. Blue turned the mound over to Fingers in the ninth after an error and single. Fingers retired pinch-hitter Danny Walton on a fly to end the game.

Royals 5, Rangers 2 at Texas (night game):
Doug Bird pitched three hitless innings in relief of Paul Splittorff as the Royals defeated the Rangers, 5-2, for their fourth straight victory. Splittorff gave up five hits, including a two-run homer by Jeff Burroughs, before a torn fingernail on his pitching hand forced his exit from the game. The Royals, who scored once in the first on a double by Vada Pinson and two infield outs, overcame Burroughs' homer when Fred Patek singled, Amos Otis walked and John Mayberry drove them across with a double in the fifth. Singles by Mayberry, Hal McRae and George Brett added a run in the eighth before the Royals wound up their scoring with a triple by Patek and sacrifice fly by Jim Wohlford in the ninth.

Padres 8, Braves 2 at Atlanta (day game):
Tito Fuentes batted in two runs with a triple and Dave Winfield added a pair with a homer as the Padres continued their strong early showing by defeating the Braves, 8-2. Fred Kendall also accounted for two RBIs. Fuentes broke a 1-1 tie with his triple in the fourth inning before scoring himself on a single by Kendall. Winfield hit his homer in the sixth and the Padres posted two more runs in the eighth on singles by Hector Torres and Mike Ivie, an error and double by Kendall. Dusty Baker homered for the Braves.

Reds 9, Astros 8 at Cincinnati (day game):
A three-run rally in the ninth brought the Reds 9-8 a victory over the Astros, who went down to their sixth straight defeat. Milt May had four hits, including a homer, for the Astros, who led, 7-1, after 4½ innings and were in front, 8-3, after 6½ innings before blowing their advantage. The Reds, who cut their deficit with two runs in the seventh and one in the eighth, began their ninth-inning rally with a homer by Tony Perez. After Cesar Geronimo struck out, Ken Griffey singled and Dan Driessen walked. George Foster fanned for the second out, but Pete Rose singled to tie the score and Dave Concepcion followed with a single to drive in the winning run.

Dodgers 3, Giants 2 at Los Angeles (night game):
Hitting safely in his 12th straight game, Jim Wynn drove in two runs with a pair of singles to help the Dodgers defeat the Giants, 3-2. Don Sutton gained credit for his 15th straight victory, including nine at the close of last season, two in the playoffs, one in the World Series and three in a row this year. The Giants scored an unearned run off Sutton in the second inning, but Wynn drove in the tying tally with a single in the third. The Dodgers then posted a pair in the fifth on a double by Rick Auerbach, pass to Davey Lopes and singles by Wynn and Steve Garvey. Mike Marshall, replacing Sutton in the eighth, hurt his left side and left the mound after throwing four pitches to Derrel Thomas. Charlie Hough took over and retired Thomas but gave up a homer by Bobby Murcer, his first in the N. L., before ending the game.

Phillies 3, Expos 0 at Montreal (day game):
The Phillies combined three-hit pitching by Jim Lonborg and a three-run homer by Jay Johnstone to defeat the Expos, 3-0. Johnstone's smash off Dennis Blair came in the second inning after singles by Tommy Hutton and Mike Schmidt.

Cubs 4, Mets 2 at New York (day game):
A two-run double by Jerry Morales and homers by Pete LaCock and Jose Cardenal extended the surprising Cubs' winning streak to seven games with a 4-2 victory over the Mets. The Cubs jumped on Tom Seaver from the outset when Cardenal doubled, Rick Monday walked and Morales hit his two-bagger. The Mets came back with their pair in the second on two walks, a double by Wayne Garrett and infield out by Jerry Grote, but LaCock broke the tie with his circuit clout in the fourth. Cardenal's clout in the ninth iced the victory.

Pirates 7, Cardinals 1 at St. Louis (night game):
Making his first start of the season after being sidelined by a sore arm, Jim Rooker scattered seven singles and pitched the Pirates to a 7-1 victory over the Cardinals. An unearned run in the eighth inning deprived Rooker of a shutout. Ken Reitz had four of the Cardinals' hits. However, Dave Parker was much more potent at bat for the Pirates, driving in three runs with a single and triple.
