The Pirates piled up 17 hits, including four for Dave Parker in four trips, and won the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, 12-3, but the Mets salvaged a split with a 4-2 victory in the nightcap. Willie Stargell batted in four runs in the first game, as the Pirates pinned the defeat on Tom Seaver, who was lifted for a pinch-hitter after giving up five runs in the fifth inning. The Pirates added five more in the seventh and concluded their scoring with a two-run homer by Stargell in the eighth.
