The Phillies ended the Pirates' five-game winning streak, thanks to Ollie Brown's seventh-inning homer which snapped a tie, and gave reliever Tom Hilgendorf his first victory of the season, 6-5. Brown's two-run double had given Philadelphia a first-inning lead.

Dave Cash homered in the second, but Willie Stargell cut the lead to 3-2 in the third, driving home a pair with a double, and the Pirates took the lead in the fifth on run-producing hits by Al Oliver and Stargell. Dave Parker's 12th homer expanded the Pittsburgh advantage to 5-3 in the sixth, but the Phils knotted the count in the home half on a walk, pinch-double by Jerry Martin, RBI single by Cash and a run-scoring passed ball.
