Today's scores and summaries:

Orioles 4, Angels 3 at Baltimore (night game):
The Orioles used two singles around a sacrifice for a run in the 10th inning to defeat the Angels, 4-3. Lee May drove in a run with a single and Eddie Murray followed with a homer to give the Orioles a 3-0 lead in the first. The Angels tied the score in the seventh with a pass to Dave Chalk, double by Bruce Bochte and Ike Hampton's first major league homer. In the 10th, Al Bumbry led off with a single for the Orioles, Kiko Garcia sacrificed and Ken Singleton ended the game with a single.

Red Sox 8, A's 4 at Boston (day game):
Dwight Evans hit a homer with a man on base, Rick Burleson drove in three runs with an infield out and single and the Red Sox worked a successful double steal with Carlton Fisk scoring during the course of an 8-4 victory over the Athletics. Wayne Gross and Earl Williams homered for the A's.

Rangers 14, White Sox 4 at Chicago (night game):
Wilbur Wood, making his first appearance since suffering a shattered kneecap last May 9, pitched two innings in relief and was tagged for five runs as the Rangers completed a 14-4 victory over the White Sox. Ken Henderson greeted Wood's arrival in the eighth with a smash off the center field wall for an inside-the-park homer. Mike Hargrove singled, Toby Harrah walked and Willie Horton capped the procession of the Rangers' "H" batters by smashing a homer. Claudell Washington and Sandy Alomar each drove in three earlier runs for the Rangers. Washington accounted for his RBIs with a homer and infield out and Alomar with a pair of singles.

Blue Jays 2, Royals 1 at Kansas City (night game):
With two out in the ninth inning, the Blue Jays rallied for two runs to defeat the Royals, 2-1, behind the seven-hit pitching of rookie Jerry Garvin, who gained his fourth straight victory. The Royals scored their run in the third on a double by Fred Patek and single by Buck Martinez. Paul Splittorff, pitching for the Royals, seemed to have the game in hand until Bailor awoke the Blue Jays with a single. Otto Velez followed with a double to tie the score. After an intentional pass to Doug Ault, Al Woods singled to drive in the winning run.

Indians 1, Brewers 0 at Milwaukee (day game):
The Indians, who had lost eight of nine previous games, used their appearance on national television as an occasion to defeat the Brewers, 1-0, in 12 innings. An unearned run decided the contest. John Lowenstein led off the Indians' 12th with a single. Larvell Blanks bunted and catcher Larry Haney, after fielding the ball, threw wildly to first. Lowenstein reached third on the error and scored when Fred Kendall hit a deep sacrifice fly to center field.

Twins 7, Tigers 3 at Minnesota (day game):
Larry Hisle drove in two runs with a homer in the first inning and added two more with a single in the second as the Twins defeated the Tigers, 7-3. After Hisle singled, Rod Carew came up and was hit by a pitch thrown by Dave Roberts. Angered, Carew aimed a punch at the Tigers' pitcher, setting off a general melee. Carew was ejected by the umpires. Roberts remained on the mound and pitched to Dan Ford, who doubled, driving in two runs, before being taken out of the game.

Yankees 7, Mariners 2 at New York (day game):
Homers by Thurman Munson and Reggie Jackson, together with a two-run triple by Willie Randolph, paced the Yankees to a 7-2 victory over the Mariners. Bob Stinson accounted for one of the Mariners' runs with a homer off Ed Figueroa.

Reds 8, Cubs 0 at Cincinnati (night game):
Staked to a six-run lead in the first two innings, Jack Billingham pitched the Reds to an 8-0 victory over the Cubs for his first shutout of the season.

Dodgers 6, Expos 4 at Los Angeles (night game):
Ron Cey hit a homer for his 29th run batted in for April, two more than the previous record for the month, to mark the Dodgers 6-4 victory over the Expos. The Dodgers ended the month with a 17-3 record for the fastest start in the history of the Los Angeles franchise.

Pirates 10, Astros 0 at Pittsburgh (day game):
Al Oliver, Phil Garner and Frank Taveras batted in two runs apiece while Jim Rooker and Kent Tekulve combined on a six-hitter as the Pirates overwhelmed the Astros, 10-0. Willie Stargell contributed his first homer of the season to the scoring.

Mets 4, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Tom Seaver pitched a six-hitter and posted his fourth straight victory while the Mets handed Randy Jones his fourth loss in five decisions by defeating the Padres, 4-1. The Mets tagged Jones for three runs in the fifth inning on singles by John Stearns, Roy Staiger, Bud Harrelson, Lee Mazzilli and Felix Millan. Stearns doubled and Staiger singled for the other tally in the sixth. The Padres avoided a shutout in the ninth when Jerry Turner singled and George Hendrick hit a two-out double.

Phillies 6, Giants 4 at San Francisco (day game):
Terry Harmon hit his first homer since 1972 and only the third of his major league career to start the Phillies' scoring in a 6-4 victory over the Giants. After Harmon's blow in the third inning, the Giants tied the score in their half, but the Phillies put the game away with four runs in the fifth, chasing Ed Halicki.

Cardinals 5, Braves 4 at St. Louis (night game):
John Urrea, Cardinals' rookie reliever, allowed only one hit in three innings and gained credit for his first major league victory when an unearned run beat the Braves, 5-4. Keith Hernandez doubled to lead off the eighth and was on third with two out when Pat Rockett fumbled a grounder by Jerry Mumphrey for the Braves' fifth error of the game, allowing Hernandez to score the deciding run. Ted Simmons hit his fifth homer of the season for the Cardinals, equaling his production for the entire 1976 campaign.
