Cleveland 6, Kansas City 3: The Royals fumbled this one away with four errors and a run-scoring wild pitch. Jose Cardenal homered for Cleveland, and Dick Ellsworth got credit for the win with 6.2 innings in which he allowed three runs on seven hits. Larry Burchart pitched the final two innings for the save. Dick Drago took the loss for the Royals.
Montreal 5, San Diego 4: The Expos scored twice in the eighth to narrow the margin and three times in the ninth to take the lead, then hung on in the bottom of the frame. Rusty Staub hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Padres starter Tommy Sisk. Ron Fairly singled home the tying run off Billy McCool in the ninth, and Mack Jones had a two-run double to put the Expos ahead. Roy Face allowed a pair of doubles in the ninth but allowed just the one run. The win goes to Claude Raymond, who threw two scoreless innings in relief of Mark Wegener.
California 5, Seattle 4: Rick Reichardt's two-run double keyed a three-run eighth for the Angels as they broke the Pilots' six-game winning streak. The inning began with a crucial error on Seattle second baseman Gus Gil; two of the three runs were unearned. Jim Bouton took the loss; Eddie Fisher got the win, and Ken Tatum threw two scoreless innings for the save. Reichardt also had a two-run homer, in the fourth inning off Marty Pattin. Dick Simpson homered for Seattle.
Player of the Day: Rick Reichardt, California
