Al Oliver drove in three runs with a homer and triple in support of Jerry Reuss, who pitched the Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Reds. With a crowd of 35,598 on hand, the Pirates' home attendance went over the million mark for the sixth straight season.

The Reds scored their run in the first inning on a single by Pete Rose, forceout by Doug Flynn, single by Joe Morgan and sacrifice fly by Johnny Bench, but the Pirates came back with two in their half on a single by Rennie Stennett, Oliver's triple and a sacrifice fly by Willie Stargell. Oliver blasted his homer with Stennett on base via a single in the third inning. [The Sporting News]
