Bob Gibson earned his second save with three key strikeouts after two weeks inactive, while talk centered on watching the scoreboard as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia stumbled. Palmer twirled a rain delayed two hitter for the Orioles 3-0 win over Kansas City, moving Baltimore within six games of Boston as he improved to 18-6 with his eighth shutout. The night also saw San Diego, San Francisco, and others win, with Co leading in the AL.
