The hosts won a tense affair against Russia in St Gallen, eventually prevailing 8-7 thanks to a stone in the final end.
While Sweden had things rather more easy, beating Germany 8-2 in just six ends courtesy of scoring eight points in the opening five ends.
It was Italy that were the big losers of the afternoon, though, as they went down 8-1 to last year's bronze medallists Scotland.
The Scots needed just six ends to register an emphatic victory and put them level with their opponents in the overall standings – tied in third position.
Russia's narrow defeat to Switzerland means they sit bottom of the table after four matches, with Germany also having lost all of their games so far.
Meanwhile Turkey beat Hungary 12-5 – scoring five stones in the seventh end to wrap up an early victory – and Denmark registered their first win of the tournament as they overcame the Czech team 6-3.
That result means they each have one victory each and are level in seventh place, while Hungary and Turkey are joint fifth with two wins and two defeats from their matches so far.
