Chicago 9, Montreal 5: Randy Hundley capped a five-run top of the eighth with a three-run homer off losing pitcher Tom Walker. Bernie Allen hit a three-run homer for the Expos in the third after Bob Bailey left with a season-ending injury. Ray Burris got the win with a scoreless inning of relief.
New York 2, Pittsburgh 1 (12 innings): Felix Millian drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 12th, the third free pass issued by Bob Johnson in the inning, to end the pitchers duel. Tom Seaver struck out 12 in 10 innings. Bob Moose induced five double-play grounders in 8.2 innings. Tug McGraw worked two scoreless frames for the win.
Philadelphia 5, St. Louis 4: Pinch-hitter Jose Pagan led off the bottom of the ninth with a base hit. One out later, the Phillies put the hit-and-on on with Denny Doyle at the plate, and Doyle found a gap, with Pagan scoring from first base with the winning run. Ken Brett, who struck out 11 in his complete game, got the win. Al Hrbrosky took the loss. The Cardinals got back-to-back homers in the first inning from Joe Torre and Ted Simmons.
Atlanta 4, Houston 2: Phil Niekro held the Astros to two runs on six hits in his complete game win, while Dusty Baker and Mike Lum hit solo homers in the first two innings off Jerry Reuss as the second-place Braves won the opener of a three-game series against the league-leading Astros. Baker went 4-for-4 with two singles and a double. He scored twice and drove in two. Niekro struck out 10 Astros.
