Back-to-back homers by Richie Hebner and Bob Robertson carried the Pirates to a 3-1 victory over the Cubs behind the three-hit pitching of Dock Ellis, who turned in his first complete game since April 29 and only his second of the season. The Cubs counted their run in the third inning on a single by Don Kessinger and double by Rick Monday. Gene Clines singled and Dave Cash doubled for the tying tally in the Pirates' half before the homers pinned the defeat on Fergie Jenkins in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
