. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pinch-hitter Dave Parker and second baseman Rennie Stennett drove in two runs apiece during a five-run sixth to lead the Pirates to a 6-3 win over the Expos. Parker singled and Stennett doubled to cap the big inning. John Candelaria made his first relief appearance in the majors and picked up a save by pitching shutout ball the last three innings.
