A bases-loaded single by Manny Sanguillen with two out in the 10th inning provided the Pirates with a 3-2 victory over the Mets. Gene Clines singled with one away and took third on a single by Dave Cash. After Al Oliver lined out, the Mets walked Willie Stargell intentionally in a move that failed when Sanguillen cracked his single. [The Sporting News]
