Rennie Stennett, Willie Stargell and Al Oliver hit home runs in the Pirates' 15-hit attack on Ron Bryant and four relievers that buried the Cardinals, 10-4. Bryant, making his first start for the Redbirds, was tagged for a two-run homer by Stargell in the first and three-run blow by Stennett in the second. Bob Gibson, making his first relief appearance for the Cardinals after 303 consecutive starts, yielded a solo homer to Oliver in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
