. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Coming out of the bullpen, Jim Bibby made his first start of the season and pitched the Pirates to a 5-2 victory over the Expos. Bibby gave up the Expos' pair in the first inning, but the Pirates came right back to tie the score in their half, one run coming on John Milner's first homer of the season.

Frank Taveras beat out a bunt in the third and stole second. Milner walked. Rennie Stennett singled, driving in Taveras, and when the ball went through Andre Dawson in center field, Milner also crossed the plate. Taveras batted in the final marker with a sacrifice fly in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
