Willie Stargell collected four hits, including a homer, and drove in three runs in the Pirates' support of Dock Ellis, who defeated the Padres, 8-1, for his fifth straight victory. A walk to Rennie Stennett and triple by Al Oliver accounted for the Pirates' initial run in the first before the Padres picked up their lone tally in the fourth when Dave Winfield singled and Nate Colbert doubled. The Pirates shattered the tie in the bottom of the frame with a run on a pass to Frank Taveras and two-out single by Stennett.

Three runs crossed the plate in the seventh, again with two out, on singles by Oliver, Stargell and Richie Zisk and double by Manny Sanguillen. Stargell iced the victory with his homer with two men on base in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
