Driving in three runs apiece, Willie Stargell and Omar Moreno sparked the Pirates to a 10-5 victory over the Astros. Don Robinson, who started for the Pirates, left the game with a shoulder injury after yielding a leadoff homer to Terry Puhl. Bruce Kison relieved, pitched 7 1/3 innings, and got credit for his first victory of the season.
