Willie Stargell and Ed Ott drove in three runs apiece in support of John Candelaria, who turned in his second straight complete game and pitched the Pirates to a 9-2 victory over the Cubs. In the first inning, when the Pirates scored five times, Stargell accounted for one run with a fielder's choice grounder and Ott drove in two with a single. Ott accounted for another RBI with a single in the fourth and Stargell hit a two-run homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
