The Pirates' streak of six straight victories and 14 in a row at home came to an end with a 2-1 loss to the Expos in the opener of a doubleheader. However, the Pirates came back to win the nightcap, 3-2. Steve Rogers, pitching for the Expos, prevailed over Ken Brett in the lidlifter. The Pirates loaded the bases in the second inning but scored only one run on a grounder by Mario Mendoza. Rogers helped himself to the tying run in the sixth, hitting a single and completing the journey around the bases on a sacrifice by Ron Hunt and single by Bob Bailey. Barry Foote singled for the Expos in the seventh and was forced by Jim Cox. Pepe Frias then hit a bloop double that fell off Rennie Stennett's glove in right center field and Cox raced home to score what proved to be the winning run.
