Willie Stargell, who a hit tape-measure homer in the opener, came back with a grand slam in the nightcap as the Pirates swept over the Expos in a doubleheader, 7-1 and 7-3. Richie Hebner drove in four runs with a homer and double in the first game before Stargell wrapped up the Pirates' scoring with a smash to the top deck of Three Rivers Stadium. The drive was his third to that sector since the park was opened in the middle of last season, but it was his longest, traveling an estimated 430 feet.

In the nightcap, the Pirates exploded for all their runs in the seventh. Gene Clines and Bill Mazeroski singled, Dave Cash walked and Vic Davalillo singled for one run before Stargell came to the plate and hit his grand slam. Al Oliver followed with a single and Milt May completed the big inning with a homer. [The Sporting News]
