Richie Zisk smashed two doubles and a single and drove in a pair of runs as the Pirates defeated the Phils, 4-1, and handed Wayne Twitchell his fourth defeat in 14 decisions. In the second inning, Zisk doubled after Willie Stargell singled and Stargell scored the first run on a wild pitch.

The Bucs added a pair on only one hit, Zisk's two-bagger, in the eighth. Rennie Stennett walked, Dave Parker was hit by a pitch and Stargell drew a pass to fill the bases, setting the scene for Richie's rap. Dock Ellis permitted only two singles through the first seven innings, but when the Phils threatened as Bill Robinson and Bob Boone singled in the eighth, Dave Giusti came to the rescue and earned his 14th save.
