If Lopez returns to active duty, the Tigers will have to make a roster change since the team's active list has a full complement of 25 players. Before Lopez's 20 days are up, the Tigers also will have two other disabled players Rick Leach and Ed Miller eligible for return to active duty.

Their places on the roster already have been filled by rookies Howard Johnson and Glenn Wilson, who were called up from Evansville a week ago. By BRIAN BRAGG Free Press Sports Writer The Tigers reactivated reliever Aurelio Lopez Monday and immediately assigned him to Evansville on a special 20-day rehabilitation program. The 33-year-old right-hander will join the American Association club, the Tigers' top farm team, today. He went on the disabled list March 23 because of stiffness in his right shoulder during spring training. Lopez, who saved a total of 42 games for the Tigers in the 1979 and 1980 seasons, agreed to the assignment in a visit to Tiger vice-president Bill Lajoie's office Monday.

He had returned Sunday from Florida, where he had been working out since spring training. I "I'm okay now," he said. "My arm feels good. There's no more pain." Read across for wins, down for Josses in team vs. team standings.

The win for Christenson (1-1) came two years to the day since he last defeated the Expos. The only hits off him were singles by Rodney Scott and Warren Cromartie in the first and second innings, and a one-out double in the ninth by Rowland Office. Farmer recorded the last two outs for his first save.

The Phils scored twice off loser Scott Sanderson (1-1) in the first. Pete Rose, who entered the game hitting .214, tripled and scored on a single by Matthews. Matthews then stole second and took third on George Vuckovich's single before scoring on a single by Diaz. The win was only the third in 1 1 games for the Phillies, off to their worst start since 1971. San Francisco at San Diego, night.

With Toronto trailing 4-3 in Ihe seventh, Lloyd Moseby hit his first homer of the year to tie the score. The Bosox, down 3-1 in the fifth, scored two runs when Jerry Remy singled home Rich Gedman from second base and Rick Miller, who had walked, scored on Moseby's throwing error. In the sixth, Carl Yastr-emski, who had three hits, scored on Glenn Hoffman's double, giving Boston a 4-3 lead. Ernie Whitt hit his third homer of the season for the Jays. Bonnell's homer came off loser Mark Clear (0-1), the third Boston pitcher.

Dale Murray (1-1) was the winner, hurling four innings of shutout relief of starter Dave Stieb. California at Seattle, incomplete. Minnesota at Oakland, incomplete. today's games and probable pitchers Pitcher Dave Rozema tested his ailing shoulder Monday evening and came away less than satisfied with the results. Rozema has a tight muscle beneath his right shoulder blade, an ailment which forced him to leave last Thursday's home opener in the fourth inning.

The right-hander has been undergoing treatment for the problem since then, and it was hoped his workout Monday would put him on target a start Wednesday afternoon against the Kansas City Royals. "It was a couple of pitches, a couple of sliders, where I felt it," Rozema said. "When I got to a certain point I was kind of twisting my arm to throw. It's not a sharp pain, it's kind of like a catch there. It's a knot in the muscle." Rozema said he could not predict whether his problem will keep him out of action Wednesday.

"I don't know," he said. "Tomorrow I'm going to lift some light weights and do some exercises to stretch it out. I'll see how it feels then." Pitching coach Roger Craig conceded that Rozema's continuing problem makes him doubtful for the Wednesday start. 1982 overal statistics W-L IP HITS ERA 1981 statistics vs opp W-L IP HITS ERA "It doesn't look too good," said Craig.

I found out all I had to do was make 'em hit it on the ground in the middle and Tram (Alan Trammell) and Lou (Whitaker) eat up the ground balls. "I kept the ball pretty low all night, except for one pitch (Martin's homer). I hung a slider pretty bad on that one." THE TIGERS had scoring chances against KC starter Paul Splittorff, and it seemed they might tie the game at 1-1 in the sixth after Cabell doubled off Frost and moved to third on Gibson's grounder to the right side. But Larry Herndon bashed a line drive right at shortstop U.L.

Washington and pinch-hitter Richie Hebner flied Cabell was the perfect Tiger to ignite the winning rally. His three hits raised his average to .432 in the fastest season start of his 10-year career. "I'm enjoying the heck out of it," he said. "This is a great place to hit, not like a lot of other parks where you have to control your swing to keep from hitting the ball in the air. Here I can just let it fly.

"The pitchers are making a few mistakes, but I'm hitting the ball pretty good, too. I just hope it keeps going." Monday's win kept the Tigers on top of the American League East standings, and pushed them over the .500 mark (6-5) for the first time this year. Rookie Wilson gives Royals the treatment GLENN WILSON, from Page 1D "I've only spent one season and one instructional league as an outfielder," Wilson, a former third baseman, said. "I was brutal (in the infield) in the Southern League. I set a Southern League record for errors at third base.

I had 33." When it was his turn to bat, Wilson cut the Royal lead to 2-1 by boosting an offering from Dave Frost into the upper-deck bleachers in left-center field, a region more than 400 feet away from the plate where few batted balls ever end up. "The hit was great. It felt great, but I don't remember what kind of a pitch it was. It happened so fast. I know it felt good but I don't know where it went," he said.

In the eighth, when he trotted out to his position in left field, the fans stood and applauded Wilson warmly; "That was tremendous," Wilson said. "I've never heard anything like that in my life." Wilson said he has no idea how long he'll remain in Detroit after his injured teammates are well. "I don't feel any pressure. I'm just enjoying myself," he said. Sparky Anderson was non-committal.

"When that day comes, everybody will know," the manager said. Almost forgotten in the swirl of late-inning events was Wilson's blunder in the second inning, when Royal starter Paul Splittorff picked him off first base. "I thought I got the steal explained. "I don't know if I missed it. I guess I'll find out tommorrow." Griffin ss 4 0 1 0 Total 37 12 4 Total 34 4 10 2 Toronto 000 210 110- 5 Boston 010 021 000- 4 E-Barfield, Evans, Moseby, Gedman.

TIGERS, from Page 1D AIKENS EVIDENTLY thought it would be better to let Quisenberry have another shot at Gibson, rather than allow Cabell to carry the potential tying run to second base with one out. But Aikens wouldn't explain his play afterward. "I know what you're going to ask me, and I don't have a damn thing to say," Aikens snapped. Said Quisenberry: "I anticipated he was going to field it I was hoping he would," said the pitcher.

"I don't know why he didn't. "All I want is Gibson out. I dont care what the situation is, I want Gibson out even if he was in a slump." Manager Sparky Anderson has stood solidly behind Gibson through his batting slide, saying it would be only a matter of time until he broke out. But even the manager couldn't have picked a better time for his center fielder to connect. "He believes in me," Gibson said, "and I knew I was going to be in there no matter how long it took me to break out of this thing.

All through it, I haven't felt too bad. I haven't been getting the breaks. Tonight I got one. "To tell the truth, I was thinking about going the other way (to left field). I don't know what (Quisenberry) was thinking, but the ball came inside and it was up a little and I got it.

That's what happens I'm trying to go the other way or up the middle and I hit one out down the line," Gibson said. "I saw the ball start to curve, and I said 'Don't you dare go It was a great feeling it's been hell." The Royals might have been too far ahead for Gibson's homer to matter except for the play of rookie Wilson, who started in left field Monday night. Wilson made two outstanding plays in the seventh inning, saving at least one Kansas City run. First he threw out Amos Otis at second base on what had seemed like a sure double down the left field line. Later in the inning Wilson cut off Jerry Martin's base hit in approximately the same spot with a sliding stop which froze Martin at first base to set up an inning-ending double play.

MARTIN, WHO homered off rookie starter Pashnick in the third inning, drove in KC's second run with the hit, but the inning could have turned into a disaster without Wilson's two fine plays. In just two outfield starts, Wilson is already being compared to formerTiger Mickey Stanley for his grace and dexterity. Wilson was asked if he has ever heard of Stanley. "Yes, I've heard of him, but I never saw him play," the youngster replied. "Actually, the only ball players I kept up with were the Astros, because Houston is close to where I lived (in Channelview, Wilson also reminded Tiger fans of Stanley when he climbed the left field fence to make a futile grab at Martin's homer.

In the bottom of the seventh, Wilson showed his power when he blasted a pitch from KC's Dave Frost into the upper deck bleachers in left-center, cutting KC's lead to 2-1 and setting the stage for the eighth-inning rally. Pashnick, making his first big league start, spaced five hits over the first seven innings. With a host of family and friends looking on the Wyandotte native and grad of Michigan State put down the Royals in order in the first two innings and got over hig Initial nervousness.
