With Bob Moose pitching a three-hitter, the Pirates crushed the Cubs, 10-0, scoring eight of their runs in a fourth-inning attack that included six straight extra-base blows. Moose turned in his first complete game of the season. In the fourth, Moose was on third and Dave Cash on first with two out when Richie Hebner struck out on a pitch that hit the dirt and bounced away from catcher Chris Cannizzaro. Hebner reached first safely as Moose scored.

The Pirates then unleashed their barrage. Roberto Clemente hit a three-run homer and Willie Stargell followed with the longest drive in the brief history of Three Rivers Stadium, smashing the ball to the upper deck in right field. A double by Manny Sanguillen kayoed Ken Holtzman. After Joe Decker relieved, Bob Robertson hit a two-run homer. Al Oliver doubled and scored the final run on a triple by Gene Alley.
