Philadelphia 5, Cleveland 3: The Phillies got back-to-back homers from Rick Joseph and Don Money in the fourth inning, and Turk Farrell entered to get three outs with the tying run on third base in the seventh. Woodie Fryman went six-plus innings, allowing three runs on seven hits, for the win, and Bill Wilson threw a hitless ninth for the save. Luis Tiant took the loss. Jose Cardenal homered to lead off the game for Cleveland.
Philadelphia 15, Cleveland 4: The Phillies racked up 23 hits, including three homers, three doubles and a triple, to secure the sweep. Dick Allen hit two homers and a triple for four runs scored and four RBIs. Mike Ryan also homered; he scored twice and drove in three. Tony Taylor and Larry Hisle each went 4-for-6.
San Diego 11, California 6: The Padres pummelled three Angels pitchers for 16 hits, and every San Diego starter either scored or drove in at least one run. Al Santorini went 8.2 innings, allowing just two earned runs on 10 hits. Larry Stahl homered for the Padres, and Ollie Brown and Nate Colbert each scored three times.
California 9, San Diego 5: The Angels salvaged a split of the doubleheader, taking advantage of a series of misplays by Padres centerfielder Cito Gaston, who played two fly balls into doubles and committed a two-base error. Offically three California runs were unearned, but shoddy defense by the Padres resulted in at least three more tallies. Jay Johnstone scored three times for the Angels. For the Padres, Al Ferrera hit a pair of homers and drove in four runs. Tom Murphy sent 8.1 innings, allowing five runs, four earned, for the win. Tommy Sisk was the loser.
Chicago 8, Kansas City 5: Bobby Knoop's three-run homer in the fourth put the White Sox ahead for good, and teammate Carlos May both scored and drove in two runs. Bill Wynne went seven innings for the win; he allowed two earned runs on eight hits, three walks and two strikeouts. Wally Bunker took the loss.
Seattle 7, Montreal 1: Tommy Harper hit a grand slam off Bill Stoneman in the fourth inning, and Steve Barber held the Expos to six hits and one run in six innings. Don Mincher also homered for the Pilots.
Player of the Day: Dick Allen, Philadelphia
