With two out in the ninth inning, Rennie Stennett drove in a run with a double to account for a 7-6 victory and pull the Pirates within four games of the Phillies in the East Division race. Bill Robinson drove in four runs for the Pirates with a three-run homer in the second inning and added an RBI with a single in the third. Willie Stargell then made it 5-0 with a circuit clout in the fifth.
