Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 2, A's 0 at California (night game):
With the backing of four double plays, Andy Hassler pitched the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Athletics. Hassler yielded five hits. The Angels collected only four hits off Dave Hamilton and Rollie Fingers, but used them all to their advantage. In the fourth inning, Bruce Bochte singled, moved to second on a bobble of the ball by Reggie Jackson and scored on a single by Dave Chalk. Orlando Ramirez doubled in the fifth, stole third and counted an insurance run on a single by Morris Nettles.

Tigers 1, Red Sox 0 at Detroit (night game):
Although Luis Tiant allowed only two hits, one of them was a homer by Dan Meyer that gave the Tigers a 1-0 victory over the Red Sox. The blow by the rookie outfielder in the fifth inning decided the duel in favor of Mickey Lolich, who pitched a four-hitter in gaining the 198th victory of his career.

White Sox 5, Royals 2 at Kansas City (night game):
Claude Osteen gained his first victory since returning to the A. L. when the White Sox defeated the Royals, 5-2. The veteran lefthander, who started his major league career with the Reds, pitched for the former Washington Senators from 1961 through '64 before being employed by the Dodgers, Astros and Cardinals. The White Sox took a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning on run-scoring singles by Carlos May and Jorge Orta, but Harmon Killebrew singled across the tying tallies in the Royals' half. The White Sox snapped the tie in the sixth when Ken Henderson walked, May doubled and Deron Johnson singled. Rich Gossage replaced Osteen in the seventh and held the Royals hitless over the last 2 2/3 innings.

Cubs 4, Cardinals 3 at Chicago (day game):
The Cubs, who played their first game April 25, 1876, marked the historic date by defeating the Cardinals, 4-3. The Cardinals scored all their runs off Rick Reuschel in the first inning on a double by Ted Sizemore and singles by Bake McBride, Reggie Smith, Ted Simmons and Ken Reitz. In the third, Reuschel tied a major league record for pitchers by handling all three putouts at first base. Reuschel beat Simmons to the bag on a grounder and then handled throws from Pete LaCock to retire Keith Hernandez and Reitz. The Cubs, after coming back to tie the score, pushed over the winning run in the eighth when LaCock singled, Manny Trillo sacrificed and Steve Swisher singled.

Astros 6, Reds 4 at Houston (night game):
Three-run outbursts in the sixth and seventh innings, including a pair of run-scoring singles by Doug Rader, enabled the Astros to defeat the Reds, 6-4. In the sixth, Cesar Cedeno doubled, advanced on an infield out and scored on a balk by Pat Darcy. After Bob Watson singled and Jose Cruz walked, two more runs scored on a single by Rader and infield out by Larry Dierker. In the seventh, the Astros' second trio came across the plate on a double by Watson, single by Rader and squeeze bunt by Roger Metzger. The Reds put pressure on the Astros in the last three innings, chasing Dierker and forcing the Astros to call on four relievers before Ken Forsch finally put down the last threat in the ninth.

Mets 5, Expos 3 at Montreal (day game):
The Mets collected only three hits but took advantage of Steve Rogers' wildness to defeat the Expos, 5-3. In the first inning, after Felix Millan and Del Unser walked, the Mets scored three runs on a single by Rusty Staub, a wild throw on the play by Bombo Rivera and a grounder by John Milner. Wayne Garrett walked in the sixth and came around to score on a sacrifice, infield out and wild pitch. Staub and Milner then drew passes, leading to another run on a single by Ed Kranepool. The Expos, who garnered nine hits, forced the exit of Jon Matlack in the eighth, but Rick Baldwin relieved and saved the game for the Mets.

Pirates 3, Phillies 2 at Pittsburgh (night game):
A homer by Manny Sanguillen with a man on base in the seventh inning propelled the Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the Phillies. Richie Zisk was safe on an error by Dave Cash before Sanguillen banged a change-up by Steve Carlton over the left field wall. The Pirates scored their initial run in the fifth on singles by Zisk and Sanguillen and a squeeze bunt by Mario Mendoza. Alan Bannister singled for the Phillies in the seventh, stole second, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on a sacrifice fly by Larry Bowa. After Sanguillen's homer broke the tie, the Phillies picked up a run off Bruce Kison in the eighth on an error and singles by Bob Boone and Jay Johnstone before Dave Giusti took over to save the game for the Pirates.

Padres 5, Braves 3 at San Diego (night game):
Fred Kendall batted in three runs in support of Sonny Siebert, who also helped himself with a run-scoring double, as the Padres defeated the Braves, 5-3. The Padres broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning after Mike Ivie and Tito Fuentes singled. Kendall sent them home with a double and then scored himself on Siebert's two-bagger. Siebert needed relief from Bill Greif in the eighth when the Braves counted on singles by Dusty Baker, Mike Lum and Larvell Blanks, but the Padres added an insurance tally in their half on singles by Ivie and Fuentes and a grounder by Kendall that scored pinch-runner John Scott.

Dodgers 6, Giants 5 at San Francisco (night game):
Andy Messersmith tied the major league record for most doubles by a pitcher in one game, hitting three, as the Dodgers defeated the Giants, 6-5. After hitting a wasted double in the second inning, Messersmith doubled again in the sixth to drive in Rick Auerbach, who had walked. Davey Lopes followed with a single, scoring Messersmith, to put the Dodgers ahead, 5-4. Messersmith doubled for a third time in the eighth and counted what proved to be the winning run on a throwing error by Charlie Williams. In the ninth, with Jim Brewer on the mound, the Giants had two men on base with two out when Chris Speier smashed a drive that hopped over the fence for a ground-rule double. Only one run was allowed to score. Garry Maddox then went out to end the game.
