Juan Pizarro, making his first start for the Pirates since coming back to the major leagues from Mexico, was tagged for a three-run homer by Wayne Garrett in the sixth inning and lost to the Mets, 4-2. Bob Robertson homered for the Pirates in the fifth before Cleon Jones led off the Mets' seventh with a double. John Milner was retired, but Duffy Dyer reached base on a throwing error by Frank Taveras. Ted Martinez went out, but Garrett, a strikeout victim in two previous times at bat, lashed his homer over the left field wall.
