Today's scores and summaries:

White Sox 12, Yankees 2 at Chicago (day game):
The White Sox knocked out Luis Tiant in the third inning, spoiling the veteran righthander's debut in a New York uniform, and pounded their way to a 12-2 victory over the Yankees behind the four-hit hurling of Rich Wortham. In the third, Chet Lemon smashed a two-run homer and Jorge Orta followed with another circuit clout. Singles by Lamar Johnson and Alan Bannister then routed Tiant before Ken Clay relieved. Marc Foley hit a sacrifice fly to add the fourth run of the frame. Bannister homered with a man on base off Clay in the fifth.

Brewers 9, Orioles 3 at Milwaukee (night game):
Amateur umpires, officiating in place of the striking regular arbiters, ejected manager Earl Weaver, right fielder Ken Singleton and coach Cal Ripken as the Orioles lost to the Brewers, 9-3. Singleton was thumbed for disputing a called third strike in the fifth inning and Weaver was bounced after joining in the argument. Ripken, who replaced Weaver as acting manager, was tossed out for his tirade over a balk call on Don Stanhouse in the seventh when the Brewers scored five runs to ice the decision. Lee May accounted for the Orioles' tallies with a homer, while Cecil Cooper and Robin Yount contributed round-trippers to the Brewers' attack.

Angels 10, A's 1 at Oakland (night game):
Joe Rudi, Brian Downing and Rance Mulliniks smashed homers in a fifth-inning power display to feature the Angels' 10-1 trouncing of the A's. Rudi, whose blast came with a man on base, previously doubled in another run in the second. Don Aase held the A's to six hits and allowed their run on singles by Wayne Gross, Dwayne Murphy and Mickey Klutts in the seventh.

Twins 8, Mariners 2 at Seattle (night game):
Tying the Minnesota club record, the Twins executed five double plays while defeating the Mariners, 8-2. Roy Smalley and Ken Landreaux each hit a two-run homer for the Twins and John Castino added a pair with a bases-loaded single. Willie Horton homered for the Mariners.

Rangers 5, Tigers 4 at Texas (night game):
The Rangers remained undefeated after five games, pulling out a 5-4 victory over the Tigers. With the score tied, Nelson Norman walked in the seventh and stopped at second on a single by Bump Wills. Pat Putnam bunted and reached first base safely on a fielder's choice to load the bases. Norman then scored what proved to be the winning run while the Tigers were executing a double play on a grounder by Al Oliver.

Blue Jays 4, Royals 1 at Toronto (day game):
Jim Clancy allowed only two hits and pitched the Blue Jays to a 4-1 victory over the Royals in a game stopped by rain after 5½ innings. Roy Howell homered for the Jays' initial run in the third inning. John Mayberry knocked in a tally with a triple in the fourth and scored on a bunt by Al Woods. A single by Freddie Patek, a walk, a wild pitch and a passed ball accounted for the Royals' run in the fifth, but the Blue Jays countered with their final marker in the home half on a double by Dave McKay and single by Rico Carty.

Braves 2, Dodgers 1 at Los Angeles (night game):
Rookie righthander Rick Matula received credit for his first major league victory and scored the deciding run as the Braves edged the Dodgers, 2-1, handing the defending N. L. champions their fourth straight defeat. The Braves nicked Doug Rau for their initial run in the first inning on singles by Jerry Royster, Jeff Burroughs and Dale Murphy. Matula singled in the fifth and stopped at second on a single by Royster. After Glenn Hubbard was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Matula scored on a sacrifice fly by Gary Matthews.

Pirates 7, Cardinals 6 at Pittsburgh (night game):
John Milner, playing first base in place of the injured Willie Stargell, smashed a pair of two-run homers to enable the Pirates to defeat the Cardinals, 7-6. Milner's first homer came in the third inning when the Pirates scored five runs. After the Cards came back to tie the score, Milner hit his second homer in the seventh for the game-winning blow.

Reds 4, Padres 2 at San Diego (night game):
After falling behind by three runs in first inning, the Padres never caught up and lost to the Reds, 4-2, before a San Diego home-opening crowd of 44,858. In the first, Ken Griffey doubled and scored on a single by Dave Concepcion. After George Foster flied out, Johnny Bench walked and Dan Driessen drove in two runs with a double. Concepcion, who had a 4-for-4 night, tripled in the sixth and added an extra tally on a sacrifice fly by Foster.

Giants 8, Astros 7 at San Francisco (night game):
With Jack Clark and Bill Madlock each driving in three runs, the Giants took an 8-1 lead and almost squandered it before holding on to defeat the Astros, 8-7. Madlock knocked in two runs with a single in the first inning and added his third RBI with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Clark, who tripled and scored in the third, hit a three-run homer in the fourth. The Astros' rally was keyed by Art Howe, who homered in the seventh and singled in two more runs in the eighth.
