Atlanta 7, Montreal 4
Ralph Garr homered and scored three runs for the Braves. Roric Harrison went seven innings for the win, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks. He struck out nine. Darrell Evans drove in two runs for Atlanta, which benefited from three Montreal errors. Balor Moore took the loss.

New York 5, Philadelphia 0
Jon Matlack allowed just four hits, while the Mets scored five times in the first two innings off Steve Carlton. Carlton threw six scoreless innings after that and struck out 10 for the game, but his teammates never had two men on at any point against Matlack, who struck out eight men. Cleon Jones and George Theodore each drove in two runs for the Mets. 

Pittsburgh 4, Chicago 1
Willie Stargell blasted a three-run homer in the eighth inning off Ferguson Jenkins to break up a strong pitchers duel. Bob Moose allowed one run on four hits -- one a homer by Pat Borque -- in eight innings for the win. Dave Giusti allowed a hit and hit a batter in the ninth but got the save. Bob Robertson also homered for the Pirates.
