Led by Jose Pagan, Willie Stargell and Rennie Stennett, the Pirates batted their way to a sweep of a doubleheader with the Phillies, 7-3 and 4-2. Pagan collected a homer, two doubles and a single in the first game. After his round-tripper broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning, Stargell hit for the circuit with a man on base in the seventh and Pagan drove in another run with a double to complete the scoring.

In the second game, Stennett tripled in the fourth inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by Stargell to snap a 1-1 tie. The Pirates added two runs for their winning margin in the eighth on a single by Bob Moose, sacrifice by Gene Clines and singles by Al Oliver, Stennett and Manny Sanguillen. [The Sporting News]
