Sparked by Gene Alley, who hit a homer, the Pirates exploded for five runs off Juan Marichal in the third inning and defeated the Giants. 7-3. After Alley's smash, Bob Moose walked and was forced by Matty Alou. Willie Stargell singled. Al Oliver followed with a double, scoring Alou and Stargell. Bob Robertson was safe on an error and two more runs then scored on singles by Manny Sanguillen and Dave Cash. Richie Hebner batted in the Pirates' last two runs, one with a sacrifice fly in the fourth and the other with his first homer of the season in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
