Led by Willie Stargell, Dave Parker and Richie Zisk, the Pirates defeated the Padres in both games of a doubleheader, 3-1 and 13-7. In the opener, Stargell knocked in two runs with a double in the sixth inning and Parker hit his first major league homer in the eighth. Dave Roberts homered for the Padres' tally.

Stargell came back with his 29th and 30th homers of the season in the nightcap and drove in three runs. Zisk also accounted for three RBIs with a bases-loaded double. Parker had two doubles and a single in three official trips and Bob Robertson added a two-run homer to the Pirates' attack. [The Sporting News]
