California 6, Philadelphia 5: Aurelio Rodriguez doubled in two runs in the top of the ninth to lift the Angels as the Phillies bullpen imploded yet again. Bill Wilson was the loser. The Angels got a two-run homer by Jay Johnstone in the eighth off reliever Jerry Johnson to pull within a run. Pedro Borbon got the win in relief, and Hoyt Wilhelm ended his season with the save.
Cleveland 3, San Diego 0: Sam McDowell concluded his season with a five-hit, 10-strikeout blanking of the Padres. Russ Snyder drove in two runs for Cleveland. Al Santorini took the loss; allowing one run in six innings.
Montreal 3, Kansas City 1: Bill Stoneman fanned eight Royals in eight innings, scattering seven hits. Ron Fairly and Ty Cline each homered for the Expos. Roy Face worked a perfect ninth for the save. Wally Bunker took the loss, allowing all three runs in seven innings.
Seattle 10, Chicago 8: The Pilots went through five pitchers and staved off elimination. Gene Brabender, who allowed three runs in five innings, was credited with the win, and John Gelnar, knocked out of the box in the first inning the day before, got the save with a perfect ninth. The Pilots scored twice on wild pitches and a third on a passed ball. The only home run of the game came from Chicago's Ken Berry. Paul Edmondson was the loser.
