Willie Stargell drove in all five Pittsburgh runs with two homers and a single as the Pirates ended the Astros' eight-game winning streak, 5-3. Stargell gave the Bucs a 2-0 lead in the first inning, blasting a round-tripper with Tim Foli aboard. He singled home Foli in the third inning and, after Foli led off the fifth with a double, Stargell homered again. The Bucs first baseman doubled in his fourth at-bat. [The Sporting News]
