However, Joe Page struggled out of the bullpen, surrendering a run in the eighth and two more in the bottom of the ninth. Mark Eichhorn came on to put out the fire and was credited with the win, based on more effective pitching.

Offensively, Willie Mays was 4-5, with a double. Frank Robinson stroked three singles. Joe Jackson, Carlton Fisk and Cal Ripken each had two hits. Troy Tulowitzki hit his first home run of the tour.
