New York 3, Atlanta 2
Cleon Jones and Ed Kranepool hit back-to-back homers in the first inning, and Tom Seaver made that three-run inning stand up. Seaver allowed eight hits -- five of them in the first three innings -- and fanned eight while walking three. Carl Morton pitched all eight innings for the Braves in the loss, allowing a total of five hits.
Montreal 8, Philadelphia 0
Steve Renko threw a three-hitter and Tim Foli drove in three runs as the Expos earned their first victory. Renko walk six men but got a pair of double-play grounders; only two Phillies reached third base. Bob Bailey, Ken Singleton and Bob Stinson each scored two runs for Montreal.
St. Louis 6, Pittsburgh 5
Tommie Agee pinch-hit a two-run homer, Ken Reitz and Joe Torre also drove in two runs apiece and the St. Louis bullpen allowed one run in five innings. Willie Stargell and Richie Zisk hit consecutive homers off Tom Murphy in the Pirates' four-run third, but Agee tied it with his fourth-inning homer of Nelson Briles. Ed Sprague, Wayne Granger, Orlando Pena and Al Hrbrosky scattered six hits in their combined five innings, with Granger credited with the win. Luke Walker took the loss; his error led to the winning run.
Chicago 3, Houston 2
Fergie Jenkins threw a three-hitter and backup catcher Ken Rudolph drove in a run and scored the other in the Cubs' pivotal two-run second inning. Jenkins walked none and struck out seven. Cesar Cedeno sits until April 22.
