Ed Ott hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and Phil Garner followed with a run-scoring double to lift the Pirates to a 3-1 triumph over the Reds. With the score 1-1, Dave Parker opened the eighth with a triple. One out later, Willie Stargell walked and Ott drove a fly to center, scoring Parker. Garner then followed with his two-base hit, driving in Stargell.

A homer by George Foster gave the Reds a 1-0 lead in the second inning, but the Pirates tied the contest in the seventh when Tom Hume hit Frank Taveras with a pitch with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
