Seattle 4, Chicago 1: John Gelnar scattered seven hits in eight innings, while the Pilots got two hits apiece from Tommy Harper, Dick Simpson and Wayne Comer to down the White Sox. John O'Donoghue worked a scoreless ninth for the save. Gelnar walked one, hit one and struck out eight.
California 6, Philadelphia 2: Andy Messersmith threw a two-hitter for the Angels, the two hits being a pair of solo homers by Dick Allen and Don Money in the second inning.

Jackson loaded the bases with two out the next inning with Morton due up; the Phillies brought in Al Raffo; Roger Repoz pinch-hit for Morton and doubled home all three runners.
