Montreal 2, Philadelphia 1: Adolpho Phillips and Bob Bailey hit solo homers, and Gary Waslewski and Dan McGinn combined for a four-hitter. McGinn got seven outs for the save, striking out three and not allowing a ball out of the infield. Woodie Fryman took the loss.
Montreal 14, Philadelphia 8: The Expos knocked out Rick Wise in the second inning and piled on against Turk Farrell. Ty Cline and Mack Jones each scored three runs, Rusty Staub drove in three, and Coco Laboy went 4-for-5. Jones had a triple and two doubles. Ron Fairly and Kevin Collins homered. Bill Stoneman staggered through six innings, allowing all eight Phillies runs, but got the win.
Seattle 5, Chicago 3: Tommy Davis doubled in a pair of runs in the seventh inning as the Pilots overtook the White Sox. Carlos May hit a three-run homer in the first to give Chicago all its runs before Marty Pattin retired a hitter, but the White Sox got only one more hit the rest of the way. Jim Bouton got the win with two innings of relief, and Bob Locker got the save. Tommy Harper reached base four times, scoring two runs. Davis had a pair of doubles. Tommy John took the loss. Bill Melton (Chicago) was injured and may play again on Sept. 4.
Chicago 3, Seattle 2: Pete Ward, filling in for the injured Bill Melton at third base, doubled home a pair of runs and scored another after drawing a leadoff walk, and Jerry Nyman threw six scoreless innings before allowing a two-run homer in the seventh to Jim Pagliaroni. The Sox won despite being held to six hits by loser Bob Meyer and Jim Bouton. Wilbur Wood got the save.
California 6, Kansas City 4: Jim Spencer's second homer of the game came with a man on in the bottom of the ninth and made a winner of Hoyt Wilhelm, who threw two scoreless frames. Spencer also doubled, singled, scored three runs and drove in three. Royals starter Wally Bunker wild pitched two runners home in the fourth inning. Tom Burgmeier took the loss for Kansas City. Jerry Adair (Royals) was injured and is eligible to return Sept. 3.
California 2, Kansas City 1 (13 innings): Jim Fregosi's short fly to center plated Sandy Alomar with the winning run. Pedro Borbon loaded the bases in the top of the 13th but wriggled out of the jam without allowing a run; Dave Wickersham wasn't as fortunate in the bottom half of the inning. Aurelio Rodriguez went 4-for-6 with a pair of doubles and an RBI for the Angels. Clyde Wright went nine innings, allowing only an unearned run on five hits.
Cleveland 5, San Diego 4 (11 innings): Frank Reberger wild-pitched the go-ahead run home in the 11th, the second inning in a row that he allowed the Tribe to take the lead after the Padres tied the game in the ninth with a two-run rally against Luis Tiant. Horacio Pina, who coughed up the 10th inning lead, vultured the win, and Ron Law got the save. Ollie Brown homered for the Padres in the first inning.
San Diego 2, Cleveland 0: Johnny Podres threw a three-hit shutout and faced one batter over the minimum. Dick Ellsworth was nearly as good; he also threw a three-hitter (eight innings), but he walked two men ahead of Ollie Brown's two-out triple in the third inning.
Player of the Day: Johnny Podres, San Diego
