The Pirates smashed three homers while exploding for six runs in the third inning to mark a 10-2 victory over the Expos. Dave Parker started the cannonading with a solo shot to break a 2-2 tie. Bill Robinson singled and Al Oliver followed with a two-run blow, knocking out Jackie Brown. After Don Stanhouse relieved, Ed Ott doubled and scored on a single by Bruce Kison before Rennie Stennett capped the inning with a two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
