Atlanta 5, Houston 2: The Braves hit two triples, a homer, a double and a single in their five run fourth inning, and Pat Dobson threw a complete-game eight-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader. Henry Aaron and Dave Johnson had the triples off Jerry Reuss, Mike Lum the double and Marty Perez the inning-capping homer. Lee May homered for the Astros.
Atlanta 5, Houston 3 (10 innings): Mike Lum drove in two runs in the sixth inning and scored the go-ahead run in the 10th after a leadoff double. Tommy Helms had a pair of RBI singles for Houston. Ken Forsch and Carl Morton each pitched into the eighth but wound up with no-decisions. Gary Gentry, who worked a 1-2-3 ninth, was credited with the win and Danny Frisella got the save. Jim Crawford was charged with the loss.
Chicago 1, New York 0 (10 innings): Carmen Fanzone hit a pinch-hit homer with two out in the bottom of the 10th to walk off Ray Sadecki and the Mets. Bob Locker threw two scoreless innings to get the win. Chicago starter Bill Bonham struck out eight in 7.2 innings.
