With Steve Blass and Bob Moose injured, Luke Walker received his first starting assignment since May 4 and pitched eight innings as the Pirates defeated the Reds, 7-3. Joe Gibbon took over in the ninth. The Reds scored all their runs in the first inning. The Pirates came back with two in the third and tied the score with Dave Cash's first major league homer in the fourth.

The Pirates broke the tie on an unusual error in the sixth. Matty Alou walked, took third on a single by Richie Hebner and scored when Bobby Tolan's throw from the outfield hit second base and bounced away. The Pirates iced the decision with three runs in the ninth, two counting on a single by Manny Sanguillen. [The Sporting News]
