In a dramatic comeback, after the Pirates had scored three times in the 11th inning, the Cardinals rallied for four runs to gain a 13-12 victory and move back into first place in the East Division by one-half game. The Pirates jumped on Bob Forsch for five runs in the first, three coming on a homer by Manny Sanguillen, but the Cardinals knocked out Ken Brett and took a 6-5 lead in the third. Ken Reitz drove in two runs with a double and then homered with a man on base when the Cardinals went ahead, 9-6, with three runs in the fifth. The Pirates cut their deficit with two in the sixth on a single by Ken Macha and doubles by Rennie Stennett and Al Oliver before tying the score in the ninth. Dave Parker was hit by a pitch, took third on a single by Sanguillen and scored on a wild throw from the outfield by Bake McBride.
