A pairing of two pitchers who had not been in the winning column since June 21 resulted in John Candelaria gaining a victory over Steve Rogers when the Pirates defeated the Expos, 6-1. The Pirates knocked out Rogers during a five-run outburst in the seventh inning. Rennie Stennett and Phil Garner rapped scoring singles and after Ed Ott also singled, Rogers gave way to Will McEnaney.

Dave Parker then doubled to drive in two runs. Another double by Bill Robinson accounted for the fifth tally. Candelaria left the mound with a slight back strain in the Expos' half of the seventh and Kent Tekulve finished. [The Sporting News]
