The Pirates concentrated 18 of their 20 hits in the first five innings to produce all their scoring in a 12-4 trouncing of the Cubs. Richie Hebner, Rennie Stennett and Ken Brett hit three singles apiece as the Pirates counted twice in each of the first four frames. Then in the fifth, Hebner homered for his fourth hit of the game. A single by Al Oliver, doubles by Richie Zisk and Manny Sanguillen and an error added three more runs before the Pirates subsided in their scoring.

Brett, making his first start since being sidelined by an elbow injury August 6, left the game after six innings. Juan Pizarro and Bruce Kison finished. The Cubs got homers from two pinch-hitters, Carmen Fanzone and Jim Tyrone. [The Sporting News]
