The Reds started the scoring in the opener with a homer by Tony Perez in the second inning, but the Mets took a 2-1 lead before the Reds broke away with three runs in the sixth.

Doug Flynn walked and Fred Norman was safe on an error by Jon Matlack to load the bases. Pete Rose then singled to drive in the deciding run. Rusty Staub homered for the Mets in the seventh. In the nightcap, the Reds put the game away with three runs in the first inning on a double by Rose, pass to Ken Griffey and homer by Bench. Dan Driessen also hit for the circuit to account for the Reds' last run in the eighth.

Phillies 2, Astros 1 at Houston (night game):
Greg Luzinski smashed four hits in four trips, but the most important one was his 24th homer of the season to give the Phillies a 2-1 victory over the Astros. The Phillies counted their initial run in the second inning on back-to-back doubles by Mike Schmidt and Garry Maddox. Luzinski followed with his circuit clout off Doug Konieczny in the sixth before the Astros picked up their lone run off Larry Christenson in the seventh on a triple by Wilbur Howard and infield out by Greg Gross.

[DH] Pirates 6, Padres 2 (night game) / Pirates 5, Padres 0 at Pittsburgh (night game):
The Pirates, after winning the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-2, completed the sweep with a 5-0 victory over the Padres in the second game behind the four-hit hurling of John Candelaria. Rennie Stennett and Dave Parker each had three hits to lead the Pirates' attack in the opener. Dave Giusti, who picked up his third save in as many games and his 11th of the season, helped clinch the victory, hitting a single in the eighth inning to score Parker, who had tripled. Giusti then crossed the plate himself on singles by Stennett and Manny Sanguillen. In the nightcap, Willie Stargell and Ed Kirkpatrick provided the scoring support for Candelaria. Stargell batted in three runs with a homer and two singles, while Kirkpatrick accounted for the two other tallies with a homer.

Dodgers 6, Cardinals 5 at St. Louis (night game):
The Dodgers scored two runs in the seventh inning, one of them unearned on an error by Ted Sizemore, to defeat the Cardinals, 6-5. One of the Dodgers' earlier runs also was unearned on an error by Ken Reitz, but the Cardinals' third baseman doubled in the sixth and scored on a single by Lou Brock to put his club ahead, 5-4. In the seventh, Leron Lee led off with a pinch-single for the Dodgers. Davey Lopes grounded to Mike Tyson, but Sizemore dropped the shortstop's throw to second, Lee reaching third on the error.
