The Pirates, who were trailing, 3-2, erupted for four runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Giants, 6-5. Bill Robinson doubled and Willie Stargell followed with a homer to put the Pirates ahead. Their two other runs then counted on a triple by Dave Parker and singles by Richie Hebner, Mario Mendoza and Jerry Reuss, who batted in his own winning marker. [The Sporting News]
