Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 8, Twins 6 at Baltimore (day game):
Al Bumbry cracked a single, double and triple as the Orioles' designated hitter and scored three times in an 8-6 victory over the Twins. The Orioles' attack also included a homer by Don Baylor, triple by Paul Blair and doubles by Brooks Robinson and Lee May. Robinson snapped an 0-for-20 slump with his double, accounting for two runs in the fifth inning. The Orioles built up an 8-1 lead before the Twins rallied for five runs in the seventh, three scoring on a homer by Larry Hisle.

Angels 2, Red Sox 0 at California (night game):
Striking out 13 for his major league career high, Frank Tanana pitched the Angels to a 2-0 victory over the Red Sox in a four-hit duel with Luis Tiant. A Jacket Night crowd of 43,112, second largest turnout in the 10-year history of Anaheim Stadium, saw the Angels snap the Red Sox' six-game winning streak with a two-run outburst in the sixth inning. Jerry Remy led off with a double for the first hit off Tiant. After a sacrifice by Tom Egan, Billy Smith singled and drove in Remy for the rookie shortstop's first major league RBI. Tiant then picked Smith off first, but Morris Nettles beat out a bunt, stole second and scored an insurance run on a double by Mickey Rivers.

White Sox 8, Indians 3 at Cleveland (night game):
Buddy Bradford, who hit seven homers in spring training games before cooling off, rapped his first round-tripper of the season to help the White Sox defeat the Indians, 8-3. Bradford batted in one run with an infield out in the third inning before hitting for the circuit with a man on base to account for two of four runs in the fifth. Bill Melton homered in the eighth. George Hendrick hit a sacrifice fly, homer and double to produce the Indians' tallies off Wilbur Wood, who pitched 5 2/3 innings and received credit for his second victory of the season against six defeats.

Rangers 5, Tigers 2 at Detroit (day game):
Except for having trouble with Ron LeFlore, Bill Hands experienced little difficulty in pitching the Rangers to a 5-2 victory over the Tigers. LeFlore collected four of the Tigers' eight hits and scored their initial run in the first inning on a single, stolen base and double by Willie Horton. The Rangers tied the score in the third on a pass to Toby Harrah, a stolen base and double by Cesar Tovar. A double by Willie Davis, infield out and squeeze bunt by Mike Hargrove produced the go-ahead run in the fourth. The Rangers then iced the decision with consecutive singles by Davis, Jeff Burroughs, Hargrove, Jim Spencer and Roy Howell in the sixth. Leon Roberts singled and Tom Veryzer doubled for a Tiger tally in the ninth.

Brewers 3, Royals 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Hank Aaron collected three hits to lead Brewers' batters in a 3-0 victory over the Royals, who were held to just two hits by the pitching of Pete Broberg and Tom Murphy. Broberg worked seven innings before leaving the mound because of a blister on one of his pitching fingers. George Scott doubled and Aaron singled for the Brewers' first run in the second inning. Nelson Briles then cut off further scoring until the ninth when the Brewers added their remaining pair on singles by Aaron and Darrell Porter and a double by Sixto Lezcano.

Yankees 3, A's 0 at Oakland (day game):
Pitching against his former teammates for the first time, Catfish Hunter allowed only two hits and shut out the Athletics, 3-0, to snap the Yankees' six-game losing streak. Bill North singled in the third inning and Claudell Washington in the fourth. North was thrown out trying to steal. Hunter, who did not pass anyone, thus had to face only 28 batters. The ace righthander threw just 88 pitches in a game that lasted one hour, 37 minutes. Ken Holtzman, who was the loser, gave up the Yankees' first run in the second inning on a walk to Thurman Munson, single by Alex Johnson and sacrifice fly by Graig Nettles. A walk to Bobby Bonds, an infield out and another single by Johnson added a run in the fourth. The final tally counted in the eighth when Roy White singled, stole second, took third on a throwing error by catcher Gene Tenace and crossed the plate on a single by Bonds.

Braves 2, Phillies 1 at Atlanta (day game):
Earl Williams singled in the 11th inning, scoring Darrell Evans, to give the Braves a 2-1 victory over the Phillies. Ralph Garr homered for the Braves' initial run in the first and Garry Maddox tied the score with a circuit clout for the Phillies in the sixth. Gene Garber, who followed Steve Carlton and Tug McGraw, was the loser in the 11th. Evans singled to open the stanza and advanced on a sacrifice by Dusty Baker. Garber then passed Mike Lum intentionally, hoping to set up a double play, but Williams wrecked the move with his single to give the victory to Phil Niekro, who hurled the route.

Cubs 5, Padres 1 at Chicago (day game):
Geoff Zahn received credit for his first save in a Cubs' uniform, allowing only one hit in the last four innings in a 5-1 victory over the Padres. Rick Reuschel, who started for the Cubs, was hit on the right ankle by a batted ball in the third inning and then was forced to leave after working two more frames when his ankle stiffened. The Cubs started their scoring with two runs in the first. Don Kessinger and Jose Cardenal singled and Champ Summers walked to load the bases and set the stage for tallies on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Morales and single by Pete LaCock. A hit batsman and doubles by Kessinger and Cardenal accounted for two more runs in the second. Cardenal drove in another run in the fourth with a single before the Padres picked up their lone tally in the fifth on a single by Gene Locklear, pass to Steve Huntz and double by Johnny Grubb.

Expos 8, Astros 7 at Montreal (day game):
An unearned run that scored with two out in the eighth inning enabled the Expos to edge the Astros, 8-7. The Expos broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh, charging ahead with four runs. A pass to Larry Lintz, single by Tim Foli and an error by Greg Gross on the hit produced the first run. After Foli was out at third on a grounder by Pepe Mangual, Mike Jorgensen walked and Larry Biittner smashed a three-run homer. However, the Astros came back with four runs in the eighth on singles by Ken Boswell and Enos Cabell, a wild throw by Foli after Gross forced Cabell, and singles by Roger Metzger, Cesar Cedeno and Bob Watson. An error by Boswell, allowing Barry Foote to reach base, led to the Expos' winning run in their half of the eighth. Pete Mackanin sacrificed. Following an intentional pass to Jose Morales, Foli flied out but Mangual came through with a single, driving in Jerry White, who ran for Foote.

Reds 7, Mets 1 at New York (day game):
Tony Perez, Dave Concepcion and George Foster each drove in two of the Reds' runs in a 7-1 victory over the Mets, who went down to their sixth straight defeat. Perez hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the first inning and walked with the sacks filled again in the fifth for his second RBI before Concepcion came up and batted in two runs with a single. Foster doubled, stole third and counted on a wild pitch in the sixth and then hit a homer with a man on base for the Reds' last two runs in the eighth. A homer by Rusty Staub saved the Mets from being shut out.

Dodgers 6, Pirates 2 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Tom Paciorek, who represented a last-minute change in the Dodgers' lineup, smashed a three-run homer as well as two singles to lead the way to a 6-2 victory over the Pirates. When Steve Yeager developed back pains in warm-ups, manager Walter Alston put Joe Ferguson behind the plate and stationed Paciorek in right field. Paciorek hit his homer in the second inning with Ron Cey and Ferguson on base. The Pirates picked up a run on singles by Rennie Stennett and Bill Robinson around a balk by Doug Rau in the third, but the Dodgers scored somewhat similarly on a walk to Bill Russell, balk by Bob Moose and single by Davey Lopes in the fifth. A single by Al Oliver, a passed ball and single by Manny Sanguillen put the Pirates on the scoreboard again in the sixth, but the Dodgers pulled away with RBI singles by Cey in the seventh and Steve Garvey in the ninth.

Cardinals 9, Giants 2 at St. Louis (night game):
Enjoying their biggest inning of the season, the Cardinals erupted for eight runs in the sixth and defeated the Giants, 9-2. The Cards began their outburst with walks to Ted Sizemore and Jim Dwyer and run-scoring singles by Ted Simmons and Ron Fairly. After a run counted on a wild pitch, Keith Hernandez walked and Mike Tyson singled to add another counter. John Curtis walked to load the bases for Lou Brock, who doubled to drive in two runs. Sizemore, up for a second time, hit a sacrifice fly and Dwyer then capped the big inning with a single for run No. 8.
