At Three Rivers Stadium, the Pittsburgh faithful were treated to an intriguing pitcher's duel. Tom Seaver(1-0) finally bested his Sacramento counterpart, Don Gullett(1-1), by the score of 3 to 1.
Seaver was in control of the game from the outset. He allowed just 5 hits and 2 walks in 8 innings. Jim Rooker was perfect in relief and got the save, his 1st.
Gullett was the loser. He pitched 6 and 1/3 innings giving up 8 hits and 1 walk.
