Adding drama to "We Hlove Hrabosky Hbanner Hday," the Cardinals' reliever gained credit for a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers in 10 innings. The Cardinals arranged for the banner display for the nationally televised contest to allow fans to show their resentment because Dodger manager Walter Alston had failed to name Hrabosky to the N. L.'s All-Star team.

The Dodgers, who scored on a homer by Davey Lopes off Lynn McGlothen in the fifth inning, had a 1-0 victory in their grasp until Reggie Smith tied the score with a homer off Al Downing in the ninth. Hrabosky, who pitched the last two innings without allowing a hit, was the winner when the Cardinals broke through against Rick Rhoden for their winning run in the 10th on a single by Ken Reitz, sacrifice by Mike Tyson and pinch-single by Bake McBride, scoring pinch-runner Buddy Bradford.
