Mike Hedlund got the final five outs for the save. Jim McGlothlin took the loss, allowing three runs on nine hits in six innings.
California 6, Kansas City 4: Bubba Morton hit a two-run homer to cap a four-run third for the Angels, and Jay Johnstone added a solo shot in the seventh as California earned a split of the doubleheader. Tom Murphy went eight innings for the win despite allowing three solo homers, to Lou Piniella, Bob Oliver and Pat Kelly. Bill Butler took the loss.
Seattle 6, Cleveland 3: Mike Marshall went eight innings and hit a game-tying three-run homer for the Pilots. Horacio Pina, who allowed three unearned runs in the eighth, took the loss for Cleveland, which got homers from Frank Baker and Duke Sims and led 3-0 after the fourth. Mike Heagan had a two-run triple in the eighth for Seattle. Steve Hovley was injured (two days) and will remain on the roster.
