Montreal 10, Philadelphia 4: Ken Singleton hit a pair of three-run homers for the visiting Expos, and Bob Bailey and Ron Woods hit solo homers. Bill Robinson homered twice for the Phillies. Mike Torrez went the distance, scattering eight hits and allowing three earned runs. Steve Carlton took the loss.
Pittsburgh 4, Chicago 3 (10 innings): Manny Sanguillen drew a bases-loaded walk to cap a two-run rally in the bottom of the 10th. Al Oliver had an RBI single earlier in the inning to even the score at 3; he had three RBIs for the contest, including a solo homer in the seventh.. Luke Walker, who gave up a run in the top of the 10th, got credit for the win; Bob Locker was the losing pitcher.
Houston 6, St. Louis 4: Cesar Cedeno hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth after the Astros gave up a two-run lead in the top of the inning. Cecil Upshaw got credit for the win and Wayne Granger was charged with the loss. Jerry Ruess took a no-hitter into the fifth inning and wound up allowing three runs on seven hits in 8.2 innings. Doug Rader and Bob Gallagher each drove in a pair of runs for Houston.
