The Pirates, after gaining a 4-3 victory in the completion of the previous night's suspended game, also beat the Phillies in the regularly-scheduled contest, 6-4, to open a lead of 1½ lengths over the Cubs in the East division race. The Mets were two games off the pace. The suspended game resumed with the Pirates leading, 4-1, and with Don Money on first base for the Phillies with none out in the seventh inning. George Brunet, given the assignment of finishing up for Steve Blass, retired Larry Hisle, but Tim McCarver smashed a two-run homer. When Byron Browne walked and Larry Bowa singled, John Lamb took over and saved the game for Blass, his brother-in-law.

In the regular game that followed, Fred Cambria received credit for his first major league victory. Brunet again failed in relief, but Dave Giusti nailed down his 22nd save of the season. Willie Stargell hit a single and triple for Pirates, driving in two runs and scoring one. [The Sporting News]
