The Pirates, after winning the opener, 4-3, with a two-run rally in the eighth inning, completed the sweep of a doubleheader when Bruce Kison made his first start of the season and pitched a three-hitter to beat the Giants, 9-1. Homers by Chris Speier and Dave Kingman helped the Giants take a 3-2 lead in the lidlifter. Consecutive singles by Manny Sanguillen, pinch-hitter Vic Davalillo and Al Oliver produced the tying run for the Pirates in the eighth and, after Willie Stargell struck out as a pinch-hitter, Milt May hit a sacrifice fly to drive in the winning run. Two earlier Pirate runs also had scored on sacrifice flies by Bob Robertson and Sanguillen.

Stargell, returning to the Pirates' lineup in the nightcap, drove in four runs with an infield out, single, sacrifice fly and homer. [The Sporting News]
