Today's scores and summaries:

Angels 3, Orioles 2 at Baltimore (night game):
A homer by Don Baylor in the 11th inning carried the Angels to a 3-2 victory over the Orioles behind a route-going performance by Frank Tanana. After Ken Singleton broke a 1-1 tie with a circuit clout in the seventh inning, Jim Palmer was within two outs of victory in his duel with Tanana, but Joe Rudi then tied the score with a round-tripper. Dyar Miller took over in relief of Palmer in the 11th and wound up the loser on Baylor's blow.

Red Sox 7, A's 4 at Boston (night game):
Dock Ellis, obtained in a deal with the Yankees, failed in his first start for the Athletics, giving up three homers in five innings and losing to the Red Sox, 7-4. Carlton Fisk connected off Ellis with two men on base in the second. Then in the fifth, after Denny Doyle singled, Carl Yastrzemski and George Scott hit back-to-back homers. The A's also had three round-trippers off Fergie Jenkins, two by Wayne Gross and one by Mitchell Page, but they accounted for only three runs.

Rangers 2, White Sox 1 at Chicago (night game):
A wild pitch by Steve Stone in the sixth inning handed the Rangers their deciding run in a 2-1 victory over the White Sox. Jorge Orta homered for the White Sox and Sandy Alomar for the Rangers. Stone gave up a double by Bert Campaneris in the sixth, walked two batters and uncorked his wild pitch, allowing Campy to score.

Royals 6, Blue Jays 1 at Kansas City (night game):
After a wild start, Jim Colborn settled down and pitched the Royals to a 6-1 victory over the Blue Jays. In the first inning, Colborn gave up a double by Bob Bailor, walked two batters and allowed the Blue Jays' run on a wild pitch. In the fourth inning, the Royals similarly scored on a wild pitch by Bill Singer with the bases loaded before Darrell Porter singled to drive in two runs. Porter added an RBI with a single in the sixth.

Brewers 6, Indians 5 at Milwaukee (night game):
A homer by Cecil Cooper in the seventh inning for his third hit of the game provided the Brewers with a 6-5 victory over the Indians.

Tigers 6, Twins 5 at Minnesota (night game):
Although collecting 17 hits, the Tigers were not able to beat the Twins until Ron LeFlore scored an unearned run in the 10th inning to account for a 6-5 victory. The Tigers, in fact, were losing, 5-4, until Mickey Stanley batted for Phil Mankowski in the eighth and came through with a homer to tie the score. LeFlore singled in the 10th, stole second and crossed the plate when Rob Wilfong booted a grounder by Rusty Staub.

Yankees 3, Mariners 0 at New York (night game):
Making his second major league start, Ron Guidry allowed seven hits in 8 1/3 innings before Sparky Lyle relieved to complete the Yankees' 3-0 victory over the Mariners. After Juan Bernhardt and Bill Stein singled for the Mariners with one away in the ninth, Sparky Lyle retired the last two batters. Thurman Munson hit a two-run homer.

Reds 3, Cubs 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Ken Griffey singled in the sixth inning, stole second and scored the tie-breaking run on a single by George Foster to bring the Reds a 3-2 victory over the Cubs. Woodie Fryman, with last-out help from Rawly Eastwick, won his first game since opening day. The Cubs scored on doubles by Ivan DeJesus and Bill Buckner in the first. The Reds came back with a pair in the third when Cesar Geronimo and Pete Rose doubled and Dave Concepcion singled. Buckner hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the fifth to tie the score.

Dodgers 4, Expos 0 at Los Angeles (night game):
Although held hitless in four trips, Ron Cey drove in a run with an infield out for his 28th RBI of the opening month of the season during the Dodgers' 4-0 victory over the Expos. Tommy John and Charlie Hough, who pitched the last 1 1/3 innings, combined on the shutout. Reggie Smith was forced to leave the game with a sore leg in the third inning and John Hale, who replaced him in the Dodgers' outfield, connected for three straight hits.

Astros 11, Pirates 3 at Pittsburgh (night game):
Floyd Bannister hurled the route and gained his first major league victory when the Astros trounced the Pirates, 11-3. The Astros knocked out Jerry Reuss in the fourth inning with a five-run blast. Doubles by Art Howe and Rob Sperring each accounted for two RBIs. Joe Ferguson then went into action, hitting a homer in the fifth and connecting again with two men on base in the sixth when the Astros completed their scoring with another five-run inning.

Mets 9, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
Dave Kingman smashed a pair of three-run homers in support of Jon Matlack, who pitched the Mets to a 9-2 victory over the Padres. John Stearns also homered for the Mets, while Dave Winfield hit one for the Padres.

Phillies 6, Giants 5 at San Francisco (night game):
Helping himself, Steve Carlton singled home what proved to be the winning run as the Phillies defeated the Giants, 6-5. Trailing in the sixth inning, 4-3, the Phillies began their rally with a run on a single by Mike Schmidt, double by Greg Luzinski and sacrifice fly by Jay Johnstone. Tim McCarver and Ted Sizemore followed with singles, Luzinski scoring. After Terry Harmon forced McCarver at third, Carlton came through with his decisive single.

Cardinals 5, Braves 2 at St. Louis (night game):
The Cardinals started off with four runs in the first inning and went on to defeat the Braves, 5-2. The Cards had only singles by Lou Brock and Hector Cruz and a double by Ted Simmons during the stanza, plus a sacrifice fly by Ken Reitz, but they were aided by a walk and two errors. Al Hrabosky, in relief of winner Bob Forsch, faced eight batters and struck out six.
