New York 8, Chicago 7 (11 innings): Felix Millan's sac fly in the 11th plated the final run in a see-saw affair that featured a first-innng grand slam by Rick Monday off Tom Seaver. Seaver himself homered in the fourth off Burt Hooton to even the score. Billy Williams also homered for the Cubs, Cleon Jones drove in three runs for the Mets, including a two-run homer in the 10th that gave the Mets a lead that they then gave up in the bottom of the inning. Tug McGraw was the winner, Dave LaRoche took the loss, and Harry Parker got the final three outs for the save.
Philadelphia 3, Pittsburgh 0: Steve Carlton struck out nine Buccos in his complete game three-hitter. Del Unser had three hits for the visiting Phillies, including a homer and a triple. Nelson Briles allowed three runs in six innings for the loss.
Atlanta 4, Houston 0: Roric Harrison no-hit the Astros. He walked two and struck out 10. Mike Lum and Darrell Evans each hit two-run homers off loser Jerry Reuss.
Montreal 4, St. Louis 3: All four Expos runs, and one of the Cardinals', were unearned in a remarkably sloppy game. Winning pitcher Steve Rogers committed two balks in his eight innings; he allowed two runs, one earned, on six hits. Mike Marshall got the save despite allowing consecutive doubles to Ken Reitz and Jose Cruz. Rick Wise took the loss.
