Today's scores and summaries:

Rangers 3, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (day game):
Doyle Alexander and Paul Lindblad, offseason additions to the Rangers' pitching staff, combined to beat the Orioles, 3-2, completing a sweep of the three-game series. This was the first time since 1959 that the Orioles had lost their first three games of the year. Bump Wills stole home on the front end of a double steal as the Rangers scored twice in the first frame. Tom Grieve hammered a homer off Ross Grimsley in the second for what proved to be the winning run. Doug DeCinces homered for the Orioles in the seventh before Lindblad relieved Alexander and stopped the Orioles cold.

Indians 19, Red Sox 9 at Boston (day game):
Breaking up a close contest, the Indians routed the Red Sox, 19-9, in a game that produced a modern major league record for most runs in one inning. With the score tied, 3-3, the Indians sent 17 batters to the plate in the eighth and piled up 13 runs on 10 hits, three walks and one error. Buddy Bell and Duane Kuiper each drove in three runs with two hits apiece during the outburst. The Red Sox came back with six runs in their half and the two-club total of 19 surpassed the former high of 17 by the former Boston Braves (10) and New York Giants (7), June 20, 1912, and by the Red Sox (17) and Tigers (0), June 18, 1953. Bill Campbell was the loser in relief for the Red Sox, marking his second defeat at the hands of the Indians.

Royals 5, Tigers 0 at Detroit (day game):
Jim Colborn, making his first appearance in a Kansas City uniform, pitched six innings and Larry Gura finished as the Royals shut out the Tigers, 5-0. Al Cowens and Darrell Porter hit homers in the Royals' attack, Porter's poke coming with a man on base. John Mayberry batted in the two other runs with an infield out and single.

Brewers 2, Yankees 1 at New York (day game):
Sixto Lezcano spoiled Don Gullett's A. L. pitching debut by smashing two homers to carry the Brewers to a 2-1 victory over the Yankees. Lezcano tied the score with his first homer in the fourth inning and won the game with his second drive in the ninth.

[DH] A's 9, Twins 6 (day game) / Twins 7, A's 1 at Oakland (day game):
With a paltry crowd of 5,494 on hand, the Athletics profited from six unearned runs and won the first game of a doubleheader, 9-6, before the Twins came back to take the second game. 7-1. Wayne Gross, A's rookie third baseman, drove in three runs in the opener with his first major league homer and a double. Dick Allen accounted for two RBIs with a double and single. Paul Thormodsgard, rookie righthander from Reno in the Class A California League, won the nightcap for the Twins with the help of Tom Burgmeier, who relieved with the bases loaded in the seventh inning and put down the A's threat.

Angels 12, Mariners 5 at Seattle (night game):
Joe Rudi drove in five runs with a grand-slam homer and double to lead the Angels' attack in a 12-5 victory over the Mariners. In addition to Rudi's wallop, the Angels also had solo homers by Ron Jackson, Bob Jones and Don Baylor. Frank Tanana, who pitched a shutout against the Mariners in the season opener, gained his second victory over the expansion club, pitching six innings and giving up one run on a homer by Juan Bernhardt. Ruppert Jones smashed a two-run drive in the eighth.

Blue Jays 3, White Sox 1 at Toronto (day game):
Third baseman Dave McKay, the only native Canadian on the Blue Jays' roster, and Jerry Garvin, rookie lefthander from Merced, Calif., took leading roles as the expansion club defeated the White Sox. 3-1. McKay drove in two runs with a single and squeeze bunt, while Garvin allowed only five hits in eight innings and gained his first major league victory with the aid of Pete Vuckovich, who hurled the final frame.

Cubs 5, Mets 2 at Chicago (day game):
Iven DeJesus batted in one run with a sacrifice fly in the third inning and accounted for three more with his first major league homer in the fifth to carry the Cubs to a 5-2 victory over the Mets. Ed Kranepool produced both of the Mets' markers with a pair of homers.

Padres 12, Reds 4 at Cincinnati (day game):
Bob Shirley, a 22-year-old lefthander with only one season of pro experience, struck out 11, allowed four hits in 8 2/3 innings and gained his first major league victory as the Padres defeated the Reds, 12-4. The Reds' four runs in the ninth were unearned.

Braves 6, Astros 0 at Houston (day game):
Dick Ruthven scattered seven hits and pitched the Braves to a 6-0 victory over the Astros in a game enlivened by a bench-clearing incident in the sixth inning. Astro outfielder Cliff Johnson charged the mound after being hit by a pitch and wrestled Ruthven to the ground. Players from both sides joined in the melee. After peace was restored, Johnson was ejected by the umpires. Rowland Office and Jerry Royster each had three hits for the Braves, who ended their 20-inning scoreless streak by putting together five singles for three runs in the second.

Giants 8, Dodgers 4 at Los Angeles (day game):
With the backing of the Giants' 13-hit attack, Ed Halicki gained an 8-4 victory to mark the towering righthander's fifth straight conquest of the Dodgers over a three-season stretch. Darrell Evans and Larry Herndon hit homers for the Giants. Halicki contributed a pair of singles before being relieved by Randy Moffitt in the ninth inning. Dusty Baker hit the Dodgers' first homer of the season.

Expos 9, Phillies 8 at Philadelphia (day game):
A homer by Tony Perez with two men on base in the eighth inning enabled the Expos to defeat the Phillies, 9-8. Ellis Valentine batted in three runs for the Expos with a double in the fourth and Perez accounted for an RBI with a sacrifice fly in the sixth before the Phillies rallied to take an 8-6 lead in the seventh inning on a homer by Mike Schmidt and two-run double by Bob Boone.

Cardinals 8, Pirates 7 at Pittsburgh (day game):
The Cardinals, who ended the 1976 season with three straight shutout losses in Pittsburgh, gained revenge by defeating the Pirates, 8-7, to complete a sweep of the opening three-game series. Bake McBride smashed a two-run homer for the Cards in the second inning and drove in what proved to be the winning run with a single in the fourth. Clay Carroll gained the decision in relief, but rookie righthander John Urrea saved the game in his debut, allowing only one hit in the last 2 2/3 innings.
