With the batting help of Bill Sudakis, who batted in both Dodger runs, Claude Osteen posted a 2-1 victory to beat the Pirates for the fourth straight time this season. Sudakis started the scoring with a homer in the second inning. After the Pirates picked up their run on singles by Matty Alou, Dave Cash and Roberto Clemente in the fifth, Manny Mota singled for the Dodgers in the sixth, took third on a single by Wes Parker and counted the deciding run on a two-out infield hit by Sudakis.
