While Dock Ellis was doling out five singles, the Pirates got a homer and triple by Al Oliver and a homer by Dave Parker to power their way to a 5-1 victory over the Expos. Oliver started the scoring with a circuit clout in the first inning. Parker, playing in the outfield for the first time since hurting his knee on June 24, pounded his homer after a double by Willie Stargell in the sixth. Oliver hit his triple in the eighth and scored on a single by Richie Zisk. [The Sporting News]
