A grand-slam homer by Al Oliver in the sixth inning powered the Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals. With the score tied, 1-1, Matty Alou singled in the sixth and took third on a single by Roberto Clemente, who was caught in a rundown on the cutoff throw from the outfield but slid into second safely when Joe Hague threw the ball late and high. Hague was charged with an error. The Cardinals then walked Willie Stargell intentionally, setting the stage for Oliver's slam on the first pitch thrown to him by Bob Gibson. [The Sporting News]
