After building up a 5-0 lead, the Phillies stood off the Pirates, 5-3, to hand the Eastern division leaders their seventh defeat in the last nine games. The Phillies used a single by Deron Johnson, double by Willie Montanez, a long fly by Don Money and grounder by Ron Stone for two runs in the second inning and added three in the third on singles by Rick Wise, Larry Bowa and Tim McCarver, double by Johnson and groundout by Money.

The Pirates rallied for three runs in the seventh with the aid of two errors by Bowa, but Billy Wilson, in relief, ended the threat by striking out Bob Robertson and getting Al Oliver to ground out. [The Sporting News]
