Steve Blass, who pitched seven innings, yielded only two hits and Willie Stargell came through with a pair of run-scoring singles as the Pirates defeated the Mets, 2-0. Rennie Stennett opened the game with a single and, after two infield outs, scored on Stargell's first hit. Al Oliver tripled in eighth and, again with two out, Stargell hit his second single to ice the Pirates' victory.
