Bob Robertson, playing third base for the first time since June 12, 1970, thumbed his nose at his .147 batting average and hit a homer and single, driving in two runs, to help the Pirates defeat the Cubs, 7-4. Manny Sanguillen also smashed a homer. However, the Pirates' catcher grounded into an around-the-horn triple play, Ron Santo to Glenn Beckert to Jim Hickman, in the seventh inning.
