Jim Lonborg's string of six straight victories in June came to an end when the Pirates defeated the Phillies, 6-3. After the Pirates scored on a single by Manny Sanguillen and triple by Mario Mendoza in the second inning, the Phillies sent Lonborg ahead, 2-1. Dave Cash tripled and Larry Bowa singled for a run in the third and Mike Schmidt hit a homer in the fourth. However, the Pirates took the lead with two runs in the sixth. After Richie Zisk and Sanguillen singled and Rennie Stennett walked to load the bases, Ed Kirkpatrick hit a sacrifice fly to tie the score and Jerry Reuss put himself ahead with a single.

The Pirates then decided the outcome with three runs in the seventh. A single by Richie Hebner, double by Al Oliver and intentional pass to Willie Stargell loaded the bases for Zisk, who cleared the sacks with a double. The Phillies' only answer was a homer by Cash in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
