Montreal 5, Kansas City 3: Gary Sutherland scored three runs and Rusty Staub belted a two-run homer as the Expos topped the Royals. Winner Mike Wegener went six innings, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks. Roy Face induced a double-play grounder from Pat Kelly, the only man he faced, to end the game and get the save. Losing pitcher Billy Butler walked four men in the first two innings; he made it though five innings, allowing all five Montreal runs.

Montreal 3, Kansas City 2: Ty Cline singled home Bobby Wine in the bottom of the ninth for the double header sweep. Jerry Robertson went the distance for the win, scattering 11 hits but allowing just two runs. Dave Wickersham took the loss; he pitched three innings and allowed the one, unearned run (Wine reached on a two-base error by Paul Schaal). Rusty Staub homered, doubled, singled and walked for the Expos. Lou Piniella was injured (15 days) and will be replaced on the roster by Joe Keough. Piniella is eligible to return July 16.

Philadelphia 2, California 0: Rick Wise threw a three-hitter for the Phillies, and Dick Allen and Deron Johnson each contributed two-out RBI singles in the sixth inning. Wise walked three and struck out five, retiring 12 Angels in a row at one point. Tom Murphy allowed two runs on five hits in six innings for the loss.

Chicago 7, Seattle 3: Don Pavletich doubled twice to drive in three runs, and Tom McCraw homered as the White Sox kept the Pilots from moving into first place.
