Bob Veale allowed only three hits and pitched the Pirates to a 3-0 victory over the Expos. The Pirates counted their first run off Carl Morton without the benefit of a hit on a pass to Matty Alou in the first inning, a stolen base, a wild throw by catcher John Bateman on the theft and a sacrifice fly by Al Oliver. Manny Sanguillen homered in the seventh and the Pirates added their final run in the ninth on back-to-back doubles by Veale and Alou. [The Sporting News]
