The Pirates scored two runs in the first inning and Bob Moose took it from there, pitching a six-hitter to beat the Phillies, 2-0. Gene Clines led off with a double and scored the first run on a single by Dave Cash. Rennie Stennett also singled, sending Cash to third, but was out trying to take second on the play. However, Willie Stargell followed with a single to drive in Cash. [The Sporting News]
