Bruce Dal Canton, making his first start in the major leagues since September 26, 1967, pitched 7 2/3 innings and was a winner with the aid of Dave Giusti when the Pirates defeated the Braves, 5-3. Dal Canton was summoned into starting sevice because of injuries to Bob Moose, Steve Blass and Bob Veale.

Manny Sanguillen, who collected four straight singles in the Pirates' attack, scored one run and helped set up two others. Mike Lum led the Braves with a double and triple. [The Sporting News]
