By August 1 we had pulled to within 4 of the Pirates, at 63-42. The Phillies at 13 back had dropped out of the race. Meanwhile the Orioles and Twins led in the AL divisions, though Oakland was 3 back of the latter, and the NL West also was close with Houston a game ahead of the Dodgers. Houston's Bob Watson was now the NL batting leader at .329. Henry Aaron's league-leading 25 home runs had Atlanta in 3rd 8 games back.

Seaver was now 16-4, Koosman 10-8, Gentry 11-5, Ryan 8-10 and Sadecki 9-7. The bullpen, including young Doyle Alexander whom we got in a late draft round, were all improved, except Frisella whose ERA, at a full run higher than Taylor's meant we again switched the two of them.
