Eddie Fisher took the loss in relief of Andy Messersmith.

Seattle 9, Philadelphia 5: Wayne Comer homered and scored three times as the Pilots got to Grant Jackson for five runs in five innings. Jackson walked five and allowed seven hits, including two homers (the other to John Kennedy, who went 4-for-4 with a walk and two RBIs). Marty Pattin allowed three runs in six innings for the win.
