Starting with a homer by Phil Garner as their leadoff batter in the first game, the Pirates piled up a total of 33 hits and swept over the Phillies in a doubleheader, 5-1 and 12-10. Garner's homer came on the first pitch thrown by Phillies' loser Jim Lonborg. Bill Robinson knocked in two runs with a single in the seventh.

In the nightcap, Davey Johnson, Richie Hebner and Garry Maddox hit two-run homers for the Phillies, who held a 10-7 lead before the Pirates exploded for four runs in the seventh inning when Garner doubled with the bases loaded and Robinson singled. Omar Moreno then hit the Pirates' only homer of the game for an insurance run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
