The Pirates, after winning the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-2, completed the sweep with a 5-0 victory over the Padres in the second game behind the four-hit hurling of John Candelaria. Rennie Stennett and Dave Parker each had three hits to lead the Pirates' attack in the opener. Dave Giusti, who picked up his third save in as many games and his 11th of the season, helped clinch the victory, hitting a single in the eighth inning to score Parker, who had tripled. Giusti then crossed the plate himself on singles by Stennett and Manny Sanguillen.

In the nightcap, Willie Stargell and Ed Kirkpatrick provided the scoring support for Candelaria. Stargell batted in three runs with a homer and two singles, while Kirkpatrick accounted for the two other tallies with a homer. [The Sporting News]
