Sunday's games
Houston (D Wilson and Griffin) at Montreal (Stoneman and Torrez), 2
St. Louis (Gibson) at New York (Stone)
Montreal 2, Houston 1: Ron Fairly doubled in the tying run n the eighth inning off Jerry Reuss, and John Boccabella singled over the drawn-in outfield in the ninth to win it. Starters Reuss and Steve Renko each went eight innings for no-decisions. Renko conceded just two hits, one a homer by Lee May in the fourth. Reuss got three double plays and pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the seventh. Tom Walker was credited with the win, and Jim Ray took the loss.
New York 8, St. Louis 6: John Milner homered in the bottom of the ninth to walk off Rich Folkers and the Cardinals in a sloppy game. The Mets combined to commit three errors, and St. Louis second baseman Ted Sizemore committed two errors. Tom Seaver went the distance, allowing five earned runs. Lou Brock led off with a homer, and Tommy Agee hit a three-run shot pinch-hitting for Reggie Cleveland in the sixth. Don Hahn and Felix Millan homered for New York.
Atlanta 6, Pittsburgh 0: Dusty Baker, Dave Johnson and Marty Perez each homered for the Braves and Carl Morton pitched a five-hitter. Morton walked one, struck out three and retired 13 straight from the fourth through eighth innings. Bruce Kison was charged with the loss.
Philadelphia 2, Chicago 0: Wayne Twitchell threw eight innings of four-hit ball and scored the game's first run on a Bill Bonham wild pitch. Twitchell walked none and struck out eight. Bill Wilson got the final three outs for the save. Bonham allowed one run on three hits in seven innings but was saddled with the loss.
