San Diego 5, Chicago 0: Johnny Podres baffled the White Sox with a three-hitter, while his mates put up five runs in the first three innings against Billy Wynne. Ed Spezio homered and Chris Cannizzaro doubled in two runs. Al Ferrara was 3-for-3 with a double and a walk, he scored one run and drove in another.

Seattle 13, Cleveland 9: The Indians committed six errors -- three by shortstop Eddie Leon -- and allowed nine unearned runs. George Brunet allowed just two runs in six innings for the win, but relievers Mike Marshall, John O'Donoghue and Jim Bouton got dinged for seven runs in three innings. Greg Goossen hit a three-run homer for the Pilots, while Hawk Harrelson homered, doubled and singled twice while driving in four runs for the Tribe.
