At Fenway Park, the Boston fans witnessed a great pitcher's duel. Tom Seaver(3-1) finally bested his Boston opposite, Jon Matlack(3-2), by the score of 3 to 1.
Boston was unable to recover after Pittsburgh went ahead in the top of the 7th inning scoring one runner. After an out was recorded, Willie Stargell blasted a solo shot. One out later, Dave Rader was a strikeout victim, unable to help out. Pittsburgh had a total of 7 hits for the game.
Jim Rooker earned the save, his 2nd. Matlack was given the loss. He pitched 7 innings giving up 4 hits and 2 walks.
