The Dodgers were stopped on their seven-game winning streak when Willie Stargell broke a tie with a homer in the sixth inning to give the Pirates a 3-2 victory. Bob Robertson drove in a run with a double in the second and Rennie Stennett homered in the third before the Dodgers came back with a run in the fifth on a double by Bill Russell and single by Tommy John. A walk to Joe Ferguson and singles by Willie Crawford and Steve Garvey tied the score in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
