A single by Omar Moreno drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning as the Pirates won their home opener by shading the Cubs, 7-6. The game was tied, 6-6, when Tony Pena opened the Bucs' 12th by being hit with a pitch.

Johnny Ray laid down a sacrifice bunt and both runners were safe when Bump Wills failed to touch the bag on the throw to first. A sacrifice by Jim Smith advanced both runners and, after Steve Nicosia was walked intentionally to load the bases, Moreno delivered the decisive blow. Pittsburgh had deadlocked the contest in the eighth when Lee Lacy tallied on a passed ball. [The Sporting News]
