The Pirates scored three unearned runs in the first inning on two errors by Enzo Hernandez and went on from there to defeat the Padres, 7-3. Rennie Stennett, leading off for the Bucs, reached base on a fumble by Hernandez. Manny Sanguillen singled, Willie Stargell grounded to Hernandez and when the shortstop overthrew second base trying for a forceout, Stennett and Sanguillen scored. Stargell counted the third run on a single by Bob Robertson.

Stennett homered in the second. The Pirates bunched three singles for a run in fourth, added another on a single by Robertson, double by Art Howe and sacrifice fly by Jim Rooker in the fifth and wound up their scoring with three singles in the eighth. Nate Colbert batted in two runs for the Padres. [The Sporting News]
