The slugging of Willie Stargell, who hit three doubles and a single, driving in five runs, powered the Pirates to a 9-5 victory over the Reds in a sweep of the three-game series. Stargell knocked in two runs with a double in the first inning and scored himself on a two-bagger by Richie Zisk.

A walk to Rennie Stennett, single by Al Oliver and another double by Stargell added two more runs in the fourth. Zisk singled and Manny Sanguillen homered for a pair in the fifth. Stargell's single accounted for one of the Pirates' last two runs in the eighth. Cesar Geronimo hit an inside-the-park homer with a man on base for the Reds. [The Sporting News]
