Willie Stargell and Manny Sanguillen each hit solo homers for Pittsburgh off Fergie Jenkins, and Al Oliver doubled in two runs off reliever Mike Paul in the eighth.
Houston 12, St. Louis 4
Tommy Helms drove in five runs and Lee May clouted a homer and two doubles as the Astros scored in each of the first seven innings to rout the Cardinals. St. Louis, hampered by injuries that resulted in a makeshift infield, was charged with four errors that resulted in seven unearned runs. Rick Wise took the loss. Ken Forsch got the win. Bob Gibson hit a pinch-hit homer in the eighth off Cecil Upshaw. Mick Kelleher and Joe Torre are both out for Monday's game.
