In addition to striking out 12 for his career high, Jerry Reuss allowed only three hits in pitching the Pirates to a 2-0 victory over the Padres. Two of the Pirates' lightest hitters combined for the first run when Paul Popovich singled and Frank Taveras tripled in the third inning. Reuss scored the other run in the eighth, hitting a single and coming around on a sacrifice by Taveras, a wild pickoff attempt by Bill Greif and sacrifice fly by Manny Sanguillen.
