A grand-slam homer by John Milner climaxed a five-run fifth inning that carried the Pirates to a 9-5 victory over the Cubs. A double by Frank Taveras opened the big frame. After a single by Willie Stargell scored Taveras, a double by Dave Parker moved Stargell to third and sent Cub starter Rick Reuschel to the showers. Willie Hernandez came on to walk Bill Robinson intentionally and yield a gopher ball to Milner.
