Three singles by Matty Alou and a homer by Richie Hebner paced the Pirates to a 5-2 victory over the Cubs. Alou led off the game with a single and Hebner followed with his homer. The first of three errors by Ron Santo and singles by Manny Sanguillen and Gene Alley added another run before the inning ended.

The Pirates posted their other pair in the fifth on singles by Alou and Roberto Clemente, a sacrifice fly by Al Oliver and a single by Sanguillen. Umpire Tom Gorman was knocked out of action, suffering a broken ankle in a collision with Oliver on a play at first base in the Cubs' half of the first inning. [The Sporting News]
