Today's scores and summaries:

Red Sox 7, Orioles 2 at Boston (day game):
Making his 1981 debut, Carl Yastrzemski knocked in three runs as the Red Sox took a 7-2 decision over the Orioles. The Sox scored four runs in the first inning on an RBI groundout by Yaz, two-run homer by Tony Perez and an error by Mark Belanger. A single by Yaz plated two Sox markers in the fourth frame.

A's 5, Angels 3 at California (night game):
A three-run homer by Tony Armas climaxed a four-run eighth inning that lifted the unbeaten A's to their seventh straight triumph, 5-3 over the Angels. Armas' blast came with two out off reliever Andy Hassler. The first run of the frame came on an RBI fielder's choice grounder by Tim Hosley.

White Sox 5, Brewers 4 at Chicago (day game):
A bases-loaded sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Bob Molinaro in the eighth snapped a 4-4 tie and gave the White Sox a 5-4 triumph over the Brewers. The game-winning blow was set up by a single by Harold Baines, safe bunt by Jim Morrison and infield hit by Tony Bernazard.

Tigers 4, Royals 0 at Kansas City (night game):
Spacing six hits, Dave Rozema pitched the Tigers to a 4-0 whitewashing of the Royals. Steve Kemp drove in two runs with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and a single in the eighth.

Mariners 6, Twins 5 at Seattle (night game):
The Mariners outlasted the Twins, 6-5, as Jerry Don Gleaton received credit for his second victory of the season. The Mariners scored four times in the third inning on an RBI single by Joe Simpson, RBI double by Richie Zisk and run-scoring singles by Jeff Burroughs and Brad Gulden. The Mariners added two more in the fourth on a run-scoring double by Simpson and RBI single by Zisk. Reliever Bryan Clark picked up his first save of the season, coming on in the ninth with two runners on base and striking out Rob Wilfong to end the game.

Rangers 8, Indians 0 at Texas (night game):
Driving in three runs, Al Oliver led the Rangers to an 8-0 pasting of the Indians. Oliver cracked a solo homer in the first inning, RBI double in the fifth and run-scoring fielder's choice grounder in the seventh.

Yankees 6, Blue Jays 3 at Toronto (night game):
A five-run fourth inning carried the Yankees to a 6-3 decision over the Blue Jays. The Yanks tallied once in the third on a sacrifice fly by Willie Randolph. A solo homer by Oscar Gamble and two-run single by Dave Winfield highlighted the five-run outburst.

Astros 2, Braves 0 at Houston (night game):
Although getting only two hits, the Astros prevailed over the Braves, 2-0. Craig Reynolds spoiled Tommy Boggs' bid for a no-hitter with a leadoff single in the seventh inning. When Cesar Cedeno followed with a sacrifice bunt, Boggs threw the ball wildly into right field, Reynolds scoring on the play with Cedeno racing to third. Boggs then added to his own demise by uncorking a wild pitch.

Expos 5, Cubs 4 at Montreal (day game):
Opening their home season in 39-degree temperature, the Expos staged a two-run rally in the eighth inning to edge the Cubs, 5-4. The Expos trailed, 4-3, going into the bottom of the eighth when Rodney Scott drew a one-out walk, stole second and scored on a single by Andre Dawson. Dawson raced to third on an errant pickoff attempt by Dick Tidrow before Gary Carter blooped a single to right-center field for the winning blow. A pair of Chicago errors helped the Expos get three runs in the second stanza.

Mets 5, Cardinals 3 at New York (day game):
Taking advantage of five St. Louis errors, the Mets downed the Cardinals, 5-3. N.Y. scored four runs in the second inning -- three unearned as the result of an error by Tommy Herr -- on a two-run single by Doug Flynn and two-run triple by Mookie Wilson. Tom Hausman relieved starter Pat Zachry with the bases loaded and one out in the sixth and induced Sixto Lezcano to bounce into a double play before Neil Allen hurled a scoreless final three frames.

Phillies 4, Pirates 3 at Philadelphia (night game):
Gary Matthews picked an opportune time to smash his first home run in a Phillies' uniform, leading off the 11th inning by clouting a 2-0 offering from Pittsburgh reliever Enrique Romo as the Phillies edged the Pirates, 4-3. The Phillies had tied the game in the bottom of the ninth on a two-run single by Keith Moreland.

Reds 10, Padres 1 at San Diego (night game):
Dan Driessen drove in four runs, three with a homer, and George Foster and Dave Concepcion drove in three apiece behind Mario Soto's three-hitter, leading the Reds to victory and a sweep of their three-game series. Soto, a 24-year-old righthander, missed a shutout when the Padres scored an unearned run in the sixth to end a scoreless string that extended to 15 2/3 innings.

Dodgers 4, Giants 2 at San Francisco (night game):
Scattering six hits over 7 2/3 innings and driving in two runs with a double, Burt Hooton led the Dodgers to their sixth straight victory, a 4-2 win over the Giants. The pitcher's two-bagger came in the fourth chukker, following singles by Pedro Guerrero and Mike Scioscia and an infield hit by Bill Russell that loaded the sacks.
