This time, it was the NL that was on a losing streak - a six-game slide - that ended on Moises Alou's double that scored Tony Gwynn in the bottom of the 10th. Atlanta's Fred McGriff had homered in the ninth off Lee Smith to force extra innings. The attendance was nearly 10,000 higher than the 1974 game at Three Rivers, thanks to the gradual addition of new seats mostly to accommodate Steelers crowds.
