The Pirates executed the first triple play in the N. L. this season and also turned in three double plays to feature an 11-2 victory over the Braves. After singles by Sonny Jackson and Hal King put Braves' runners on first and second in the seventh inning, Leo Foster grounded sharply to Richie Hebner, who stepped on third before throwing to Dave Cash, who followed with a relay to Bob Robertson.
