The Pirates scored a run on singles by Richie Hebner, Roberto Clemente and Al Oliver in the ninth inning to gain a 2-1 victory over the Cubs, who suffered their eighth straight defeat. Fergie Jenkins was the loser, although striking out 14 for his career high in a game.

The Pirates counted their first run on a single by Matty Alou and triple by Hebner in the sixth. Jim Hickman homered off Dock Ellis for the Cubs' tying run in the seventh. The victory was the first for Ellis since his no-hitter against the Padres June 12. [The Sporting News]
