After winning a free-hitting opener, 9-8 in 13 innings, the Dodgers settled down to tighter baseball and edged the Pirates in the nightcap, 2-1. to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. The marathon first game featured 31 hits, 11 of them for extra bases, off 12 pitchers, six for each club. The Pirates tied the score at 7-7 in the eighth inning when Bob Robertson knocked in two runs with a double. The Dodgers regained the lead with a run in the 10th, but Willie Stargell forged a new deadlock with a homer. The Dodgers could not be denied, however, in the 13th when the winning run scored on a single by Ron Cey, sacrifice by Davey Lopes and double by Tom Paciorek.
