Combining on a four-hitter, Jim Bibby and Kent Tekulve pitched the Pirates to a 9-1 triumph over the sagging Phillies. It was Bibby's sixth straight victory. Omar Moreno led off the game with a homer and the Bucs scored another run in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by John Milner. Milner connected for a three-run homer in the third frame and Bill Madlock blasted a three-run triple in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
