Kansas City 2, Philadelphia 1: The Royals had two runs after three men hit, and Jim Rooker and Moe Drabowsky made those runs stand up.

Rooker went eight innings, allowing four hits, one a homer by Dick Allen, and Drabowsky worked the ninth for the save.
Kansas City 11, Philadelphia 6: Joe Foy homered and drove in four runs, and Pat Kelly doubled twice, walked twice, scored twice and drove in two as the Royals completed the doubleheader sweep. Loser Bill Champion allowed just one hit through the first four innings but was stung for five runs in the fifth, two of them unearned.

After the game, the Phillies demoted Rich Barry and activated Jeff James.
Cleveland 4, Chicago 2: The Indians scored all four runs in the first inning, rattling Joel Horlen for five singles and a double. Eddie Leon's base-loaded single with two out drove in two and capped the inning. Stan Williams allowed two runs on eight hits in seven innings for the win, and Horacio Pina survived an eighth-inning scare (Bobby Knoop just missed a three-run homer) for the save. After the game, Sammy Ellis was demoted by the Sox, with Jack Hamilton activated. Ellis is eligible for recall after July 14.

Seattle 4, San Diego 3 (10 innings): Jerry McNertney homered with one out in the bottom of the 10th to give the Pilots the walk-off win. The Pilots committed four errors and allowed two unearned runs. Marty Pattin struck out 13 Padres in seven innings, allowing two runs, one earned, on four hits. Steve Barber got the win with an inning of scoreless relief.
San Diego 2, Seattle 1: Gary Ross allowed one unearned run in six innings of four-hit ball, and Jack Baldschun and Frank Reberger allowed no hits in three innings of relief as the Padres split the twin bill. Tommy Dean was 2-for-3 for the Padres with a double and a sac fly. Mike Marshall went the distance for the Pilots, allowing two runs on seven hits. He walked two, hit one and struck out nine.
