Behind the steady pitching of John Candelaria, the Pirates coasted to a 7-1 decision over the Expos. The Bucs took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by Candelaria and tallied three times in the sixth on an RBI double by Lee Lacy and sacrifice flies by Phil Garner and Steve Nicosia.
