Atlanta 7, Montreal 5: Dave Johnson hit a three-run homer off Mike Marshall in the 10th inning to propel the Braves to the win. It was Johnson's second homer of the game. Henry Aaron also homered for the visiting Braves. Ron Fairly hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th to narrow the final margin. Pat Dobson got the win and Marshall was the loser.
New York 7, Philadelphia 1: George Stone went seven innings for the win, allowing one run on eight hits. John Milner tripled home a pair of runs in the first inning off Jim Lonborg, and Felix Millan had a pair of RBI singles. Mike Anderson homered for the Philadelphia run.
Pittsburgh 9, Chicago 4: Manny Sanguillen, Richie Hebner and Bob Robertson all homered for the Pirates, with Hebner's three-run shot in the fifth being the crucial blow. That homer effectively knocked Fergie Jenkins from the game. Bob Moose worked seven innings for the win, allowing four runs. Ramon Hernandez entered with a three-run lead in the eighth and retired all six men he faced for the save. Ben Oglivie went 2-for-4 and was returned to the taxi squad.
St. Louis 10, Houston 6: The first six Cardinal batters reached, and five of them scored. Tommy Agee and Jose Cruz later hit solo homers. Alan Foster worked eight innings of one-run ball for the win, but Wayne Granger got only one out in the ninth and after Lee May hit a three-run homer, Orlando Pena entered to retire the final two men and end the game.
