Bob Locker entered with two on and no outs in the ninth; he got Don Hahn to bounce into a double play and then retired Jerry Grote on a grounder to earn the save.
Philadelphia 3, Pittsburgh 0: Wayne Twitchell and Mac Scarce combined to hold the Pirates to three singles and four walks. Greg Luzinski went 3-for-3 with a run scored and a walk, and Willie Montanez scored once and drove in one. Twitchell went seven innings for the win, Scarce worked two innings for the save, and Dock Ellis took the loss.

Ernie McAnally took the loss.
