Art Howe, after hitting a looping fly that resulted in a triple play in the fourth inning, made up for it with a three-run double in the eighth as the Pirates defeated the Expos, 6-0. Jerry Reuss pitched the shutout on a four-hitter. The Pirates scored their first three runs in the opening frame on a pass to Manny Sanguillen and homers by Al Oliver and Dave Parker.

Parker doubled and Richie Zisk walked in the fourth before the Expos pulled their triple play. Tim Foli snared Howe's fly in shallow left field and threw to Pete Mackanin, doubling Parker off second. Mackanin then fired to Jose Morales at first to catch Zisk off base for the third out. Howe hit his double in the eighth after the Pirates had loaded the bases with a double by Oliver, single by Willie Stargell and pass to Zisk. [The Sporting News]
