Rangers 2, A's 0 at Texas (night game):
Al Oliver's 2,000th career hit snapped a 0-0 tie in the sixth inning and sparked the Rangers to a 2-0 victory over the A's.

Grubb singled home Bud Harrelson with the other Texas run in the seventh. Jon Matlack and John Henry Johnson combined for the 11-hit shutout.

Braves 9, Dodgers 0 at Atlanta (night game):
The Braves blanked the Dodgers, 9-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Tommy Boggs. Atlanta scored three runs in the first inning on singles by Jerry Royster and Glenn Hubbard, an RBI groundout by Gary Matthews and two-run homer by Bob Horner. Matthews later singled home two runs in the eighth.

Cardinals 5, Cubs 1 at Chicago (day game):
Andy Rincon made a successful major league debut by pitching a five-hitter in the Cardinals' 5-1 victory over the Cubs. The Redbirds broke the game open with a four-run sixth inning on an RBI double by George Hendrick, a balk and run-scoring singles by Rincon and Ken Oberkfell. Rincon pitched hitless ball over the final 5 2/3 innings.

Reds 6, Giants 2 at Cincinnati (night game):
Unfurling a three-hitter, Tom Seaver recorded his fifth straight victory as the Reds defeated the Giants, 6-2. The Reds scored four runs in the first inning. Ken Griffey and Dave Concepcion walked and Dan Driessen doubled them home. Roy Knight then followed with a homer.
