The Pirates piled up 16 hits, with everyone joining in the attack except Willie Stargell and Bruce Kison, to defeat the Braves, 11-4, for their sixth straight victory. Rennie Stennett and Dave Parker led the way with three hits each. Five other Pirates had two hits apiece. Stargell, although collared in four trips, scored a run in the first when the Pirates got off to a 4-0 lead.

Frank Taveras opened with a double, Stargell walked and Parker and Manny Sanguillen each rapped run-scoring singles. Sanguillen took second on the throw home and scored along with Parker when Bill Robinson singled. The Pirates then decided the outcome with two more runs in the second on triples by Stennett and Parker and a single by Al Oliver. [The Sporting News]
