With Willie Stargell and Ed Kirkpatrick smacking two-run homers, the Pirates built a 5-0 lead against Clay Kirby and went on to a 7-4 triumph, their seventh in the last eight games. Richie Zisk singled home Richie Hebner in the seventh and Hebner hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the eighth to account for the final two Pittsburgh runs. The Reds got their first marker in the bottom of the fourth on Bill Plummer's RBI double. They added two in the fifth on Tony Perez' sacrifice fly and run-scoring single by Dave Concepcion off winner Jerry Reuss. A double by Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench's single and sacrifice fly by Concepcion accounted for the final Cincinnati run in the seventh. Al Oliver finished with four hits for the Pirates.
