Although Ken Brett gave up nine hits to four allowed by Dave Roberts, the Pirates' lefthander was able to shut out the Astros, 3-0. Roberts' fate was decided in the second inning when Manny Sanguillen walked and Dave Parker smashed a homer. The other run counted in the sixth on singles by Rennie Stennett and Willie Stargell and a sacrifice fly by Bill Robinson. [The Sporting News]
