Shaking the Pirates out of their slump, Willie Stargell and Vic Davalillo swung big bats to lead the way to an 8-3 victory over the Astros. Stargell smashed four hits and drove in four runs, raising his RBI total to a career season high of 108. Davalillo, playing in place of Roberto Clemente, contributed two triples and a double to the Pirates' attack and batted in two runs. Bob Robertson accounted for the other RBIs with a pair of sacrifice flies.
