Jerry Reuss stopped the Giants cold on three hits as the Pirates snapped their six-game losing streak, 4-0. An RBI double by Al Oliver and follow-up single by Dave Parker in the third accounted for the Bucs' first two runs. Richie Zisk hit a bases-empty homer in the sixth and Oliver followed suit in the seventh. The shutout was the fifth of the season by Reuss. [The Sporting News]
