The Pirates scored nine runs on only three hits in the third inning and whipped the Giants, 13-2, as Dock Ellis recorded his eighth straight victory. Al Oliver, batting twice in the Pirates' big inning, singled with the bases loaded on his first trip, driving in two runs, and doubled to produce two more runs on his second appearance. The Pirates' only other hit in the stanza was a single by Richie Zisk, but they also profited from five walks, two hit batsmen and an error while sending 14 men to the plate. Oliver drove in another run with a single in the ninth for his fifth RBI. [The Sporting News]
