Today's scores and summaries:

Tigers 5, Royals 0 at Detroit (night game):
Tiger rookies Vern Ruhle and Leon Roberts combined efforts to help Detroit to a 5-0 whitewash of the Royals, who had their chances, but stranded seven runners in the first three innings and 15 for the game. Ruhle shut out the visitors over the first seven innings before being lifted after giving up a single and walk in the eighth. John Hiller finished up. Roberts, hitting safely in the 14th straight game he had played, homered in the sixth after a walk to Nate Colbert and single by Bill Freehan. The Tigers counted twice off loser Dennis Leonard in the third when Tom Veryzer singled, Ron LeFlore walked and both scored on Willie Horton's single.

A's 5, Red Sox 3 at Oakland (night game):
Held to three hits by Reggie Cleveland through six innings, the Athletics rallied with four runs in the seventh and defeated the Red Sox, 5-3. Boston took a 2-0 lead in the second on Rico Petrocelli's homer, Dwight Evans' triple and an infield out. The Bosox added another run in the third on Juan Beniquez' single, a stolen base and Carl Yastrzemski's single. Reggie Jackson's sacrifice fly, on the heels of a triple by Bert Campaneris, got the A's on the board in the fourth. Rollie Fingers, who relieved in the third, held Boston at bay through the eighth. Billy Williams and Gene Tenace put doubles back to back for the first run of the deciding seventh frame. Claudell Washington's single moved Tenace to third, Washington moving to second on the throw. Both runners scored on Jim Holt's pinch-single. Don Hopkins, running for Holt, later scored the A's final run on Bill North's single.

Expos 11, Braves 1 at Montreal (night game):
The Expos kayoed former teammate Carl Morton, who had beaten them six straight times, with eight runs in the first three innings and rolled to an 11-1 triumph over the Braves. Rookie Pat Scanlon's first major league homer with two aboard highlighted a five-run Montreal third. That blow drove Morton from the mound with the host club holding a 7-0 lead. Tony Scott, who had singled, scored the fifth run of the inning on a passed ball by catcher Biff Pocoroba, then singled home two more Expo runs in the seventh. Montreal's Gary Carter hit a solo homer in the second and the Braves' Earl Williams did the same in the ninth off Steve Rogers to spoil the shutout.

Mets 3, Giants 2 at New York (night game):
Joe Torre's three-run double with two out in the seventh lifted the Mets to a 3-2 triumph over the Giants on New York manager Yogi Berra's 50th birthday. Torre tagged a pitch from reliever Gary Lavelle, who had struck out Rusty Staub after replacing starter Jim Barr, who had loaded the bases by giving up singles to Mike Phillips, Felix Millan and Del Unser. Phillips, acquired from the Giants May 3, booted a grounder by Ed Goodson to set up an unearned run, the first of the game, by San Francisco in the seventh. Goodson moved to third on a single by Bruce Miller and scored on a sacrifice fly by Dave Rader. Willie Montanez singled home Chris Speier in the ninth before Tom Hall relieved to preserve the victory for Jon Matlack.

Dodgers 6, Cardinals 4 at St. Louis (night game):
Run-producing singles in the 10th by Tom Paciorek and Rick Auerbach, whose base hit scored two with two out, stood up as the Dodgers opened their series with the Cardinals with a 6-4 victory. Los Angeles had scored three times to take the lead in the second, with starting pitcher Andy Messersmith, who later left the game because of the flu, doubling home one of the runs. The Cards, who tallied single runs in the first and third, tied the score in the bottom of the ninth on Ken Reitz' two-out RBI single which scored pinch-runner Bake McBride, who moved to third on groundouts after replacing Ted Simmons, who had singled.
