The Pirates, who pulled off the first triple play of the major league season, completed their comeback with a run in the 12th inning to defeat the Dodgers, 7-6. The Dodgers were leading, 3-0, and had Manny Mota on second base and Willie Davis on first when Gene Alley grabbed a liner by Wes Parker on a short bounce to start the triple-killing in the third inning. Alley stepped on second to force Davis and threw to first to retire Parker. Mota then was caught before he could reach third and was run down, Al Oliver to Richie Hebner to Alley.

Davis had four hits and drove in four runs. The Pirates, who had a homer by Roberto Clemente, tied the score at 6-6 in the ninth with two runs on singles by Matty Alou and Hebner, Clemente's forceout of Hebner and a double by Bob Robertson. In the 12th, Robertson led off with a single and was on second with two out when the Dodgers decided to pass Mazeroski. Jerry May then batted for Dave Giusti and singled to drive in the winning run.
