Cleveland 5, Kansas City 1: Sam McDowell fanned 10 in his six-hitter, and Vern Fuller blew the game open with a three-run homer in the eighth off reliever Mike Hedlund. Bill Butler allowed two runs in seven innings for the loss. Cap Peterson scored twice for the Tribe.

Kansas City 3, Cleveland 1: Ed Kirkpatrick hit a two-run homer in the first and added an RBI single in the third to give Wally Bunker all the runs he needed. Stan Williams took the loss. Moe Drabowsky entered in the eighth with the tying run in scoring position and earned the save.

Philadelphia 5, Chicago 3: Larry Hisle singled twice, doubled, tripled, stole a base and scored three times to lead the Phillies to the win. Jerry Johnson held the White Sox scoreless through six; the Sox rallied for three in the seventh, but Bill Wilson retired the last seven hitters for the save. Dick Allen homered for the Phillies. Joel Horlen took the loss. Don Money of the Phillies was injured and is out the rest of the season.

Chicago 17, Philadelphia 5: The White Sox bashed out 16 hits, including homers by Carlos May, Gail Hopkins and Bill Melton, drew seven walks and were hit by two pitches. That was plenty of support for Gary Bell who didn't allow an earned run until Johnny Callison hit a two-run homer in the seventh. Rick Wise took the loss for the Phillies. Bell allowed seven hits and three runs, two earned, in 6.2 innings. Carlos May and Angle Bravo were both injured for the White Sox; May is out until Sept. 29, Bravo until Sept. 25.

San Diego 3, Montreal 2: The Padres scored all three runs in the fourth inning off Steve Renko, who took over for injured starter Jerry Robertson after the first inning. The final run came on an error by Renko. Joe Niekro got the win with 6.2 innings of six-hit ball; he allowed two runs, one earned. The Padres pieced together the final seven outs with three relievers. Gary Ross got the final out. Robertson will not miss any time.

California 7, Seattle 5 (12 innings): Sandy Alomar tripled to key a two-run, two-out rally in the ninth to tie the score, and Rick Reichardt's double in the 12th ignited the winning rally. The Angels give five shutout innings of relief from Bob Priddy, Hoyt Wilhelm, Eddie Fisher and Ken Tatum, with Fisher getting credit for the win and Tatum the save. Alomar was 4-for-5 with a walk and a pair of runs scored. Bob Locker takes the loss.

Player of the Day: Sandy Alomar, California
