Getting combined six-hit pitching in each half of a doubleheader, the Pirates extended their winning streak to five games by defeating the Expos, 6-2 and 8-4. Luke Walker and Bob Johnson pitched in the opener, while Jim Rooker and Dave Giusti worked in the nightcap. Al Oliver enjoyed the twin bill with six hits in eight trips. Oliver had four hits, scored three runs and drove in one in the first game. Richie Hebner batted in two runs with a sacrifice fly and single. Ken Singleton and Hal Breeden homered for the Expos' tallies.

In the second game, the Pirates took a 3-1 lead with the aid of a homer by Oliver and then broke the game apart with five runs in the fourth inning. Fernando Gonzalez knocked in a pair with a triple. Singleton hit his second homer of the day for the Expos. [The Sporting News]
