The Pirates swept a doubleheader from the Expos, 3-1 and 4-3. Bert Blyleven scattered five hits over eight innings in the opener and drove in all the Buc runs with a bases-loaded double. His two-base hit came with two out in the second and followed singles by Bill Robinson and Manny Sanguillen and an intentional walk to Steve Brye.

Home runs by Robinson, Willie Stargell and Omar Moreno accounted for the Pirates' scoring in the second game. Moreno's was an inside-the-park affair in the third inning and tied the score. In that same inning, John Milner singled and Robinson smashed his circuit clout. [The Sporting News]
