Homers by Gene Alley, Roberto Clemente and Johnny Jeter, plus a two-run single by Manny Sanguillen, featured the Pirates' attack in an 8-4 victory over the Expos. Alley started the barrage in the first inning. Sanguillen singled with the bases loaded in the fourth when the Pirates scored four runs. After homers by Clemente in the fifth and Jeter in the seventh, Alley batted in the Bucs' last run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Coco Laboy hit a homer with a man on base for the Expos.
