A nine-run lead in the first five innings enabled the Pirates to outlast the Giants, 10-6, in a game that saw the Giants lose although collecting 15 hits to 12 for the Pirates. Willie Stargell, Manny Sanguillen and Al Oliver each drove in two runs for the Pirates. Stargell's RBIs on a pass with the bases loaded and a double boosted his major league-leading total to 105. Bob Robertson homered for the Pirates' last run in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
