Sparked by Al Oliver, who hit a homer, the Pirates erupted for four runs in the ninth inning and beat the Cardinals, 6-2, to snap Bob Gibson's personal 10-game winning streak. Richie Hebner homered for the Pirates in the eighth to break a 1-1 tie, but the Cardinals knotted the count again in their half on a double by Carl Taylor and single by Joe Torre.
