Ed Kirkpatrick doubled home two runs with two out in the 11th inning to enable the Pirates to extend their winning streak to six games with a 3-1 victory over the Giants. The Pirates scored their initial run in the third on singles by Rennie Stennett, Richie Hebner and Al Oliver. The Giants knotted the count in their half. Garry Maddox singled and stole second. Gary Thomasson walked and, after a double steal, Maddox scored on an infield out by Gary Matthews.

The Giants, who collected 11 hits off Jerry Reuss and three more off Dave Giusti, stranded 16 runners, including three in the seventh, three in the ninth and three more in the 10th. Jim Barr, who hurled the route for the Giants, walked Dave Parker and Richie Zisk in the 11th. After Manny Sanguillen forced Zisk at second, Kirkpatrick came through with his double.
