Sparked by Joe Morgan's bases-loaded triple, the streaking Reds defeated the Pirates, 8-4, for their 10th victory in the last 11 games. A run-scoring double by Dave Concepcion and RBI singles by Gary Nolan and Pete Rose started the scoring in the second inning before the Reds made it 6-1 with Morgan's triple in the fourth. George Foster hit his second double of the game to help the Reds add their final two runs in the sixth.

Dave Parker homered for the Pirates in the second and Duffy Dyer hit for the circuit with a man on base in the fifth. Dyer also drove in a run with a single in the seventh to force the exit of Nolan. Will McEnaney held the Pirates to one hit in the last 2 2/3 innings. [The Sporting News]
