Proving an able substitute, Gene Clines, playing in place of flu-weakened Roberto Clemente, hit a pair of run-scoring singles to lead the Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the Astros. Clines got his RBIs in the third and fifth innings with the Pirates' in-between run counting in the fourth on a double by Richie Hebner and single by Milt May. Dave Giusti saved the game for Bob Moose, inducing Roger Metzger to roll into a double play with the bases loaded in the ninth.
