Homers by Willie Stargell, Bob Robertson and Manny Sanguillen helped power the Pirates to a pair of 5-2 victories in a doubleheader with the Phillies. Dick Ruthven, pitching the opener for the Phils, had a 2-1 lead going into the seventh inning when Al Oliver singled and Stargell smashed his round-tripper to put the Pirates in front. An infield hit by Richie Hebner with the bases loaded in the eighth and an throwing error by Denny Doyle added two insurance runs.

Robertson started the Pirates' scoring in the nightcap with a solo swat in the second inning. Sanguillen added a two-run clout in the third. Robertson also made it a two-RBI game for himself with a single after Richie Zisk hit a triple in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
