The hitting of Stargell in first game and homers by Robertson and Hebner in second game led Pirates to 9-3 and 5-2 victories in sweep of doubleheader with Padres. Stargell drove in three runs with two singles and sacrifice fly in opener. Stargell's first hit accounted for one of Pirates' three runs in third inning, but Kendall homered in Padres' half and Gaston also hit for circuit with man on base in fourth to tie score. Pirates broke away with two runs on three walks, error and single by Hebner in fifth. Stargell hit his sacrifice fly in sixth and singled for one of Pirates' three runs in seventh.

In nightcap, Robertson broke a 2-2 tie with his homer in sixth inning and Hebner put game away with two-run smash in eighth. [The Sporting News]
